You’ve been in power for years so why didn’t you do it before now ?

Everything Britain needs, Reform UK will derail or destroy:
*More green energy, faster
*More building
*Much more housing
*Join Single Market
*More immigration
Doesn't matter what RefUK say about any of those things. Facts disagree. Reality is what it is.

“I have made it very clear that the Conservative party stands behind America taking this necessary action”.
Kemi Badenoch, House of Commons, 2nd March 2026.
Never, ever let her forget she spoke those words while attacking the UK government for not getting involved in Trump's war against Iran.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

The Art of War

1. Start war
2. Kill people
3. Fail to achieve strategic objectives
4. Declare victory
5. Agree ceasefire

Really not sure you can call this a Trump victory:

Iranian regime still in place

Russia filled war chest

US diplomatically isolated

Instability in region likely to continue

Iran proved it can hold world to ransom

Iran will continue violent internal crackdowns

MAGA split

Important.

Did the same but was able to get someone who replaced the glass only and was significantly cheaper than a replacement !

“Too Wee, Too Poor” is a nationalist red herring I’ve been debating the pros and cons of Scottish nationalism for more years than I can remember

Scottish Nationalism, like all nationalisms, depends on myths and grievances. One such is the insult that Scotland is "too wee and to poor" to be independent. In fact it's an insult created, not by their opponents, but by nationalists themselves to confuse the debate.

Congratulations to the people of Gorton and Denton on now being part of the London elite

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin.

Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

National borrowing is falling faster than expected.

Inflation is down.

Interest rates are falling.

Real wages are improving.

And the U.K. is the fastest growing of the wealthiest countries in Europe.

Step by step, we’re getting our economy back on track.

"'ere, you'll never guess who I 'ad in the back of my car the other day."

The Green Party has shared a a video interview with 5 Pillars. It features the leader, Zack Polanski, Deputy Leader Mothin Ali and Gorton & Denton candidate Hannah Spencer

"5 Pillars" runs a Podcast called "Blood Brothers", which has hosted some of Britain's most notorious neo-Nazis & far right activists, like Nick Griffin (BNP), Mark Collett (Patriotic Alternative) & Jayda Fransen (ex-Britain First), to rant about Jews.
Now the Greens are cosying up to them.

The contrast between Britain and the US in their response to the Epstein files is striking.

Britain: lock up the brother of the King and cast out the prince of darkness, Lord Mandelson.

US: circle the wagons round the president and his cabinet.

A very slightly cheaper pint versus Thousands of families taken out of poverty.

Tough choice.

And as a fairly good example why lots of Labour types aren't exactly big fans of the Greens and regard them with suspicion as similar 'stop the world I want to get off' fantasists as Reform. Here are Green councillors uniting with Reform to block new housing.

Nothing to do with the effects of 14 years of Conservative economic mismanagement including Brexit then?

"Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America."

Former Tory heavyweights launch new centre-right movement Prosper UK aims to pull Conservative party back to middle ground and counter rise of Reform UK

For the sake of the UK's democracy, I hope this works. But the problem is that in the past instead of confronting the knuckle-dragging, reactionary loons, people like Street and Davidson looked the other way. They never made a stand. Now they have even less power to do so.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

Five years ago. Incredible. Everyone was talking about a Johnson third term and Labour's 'decade in the wilderness'. Only FOUR of that most senior team are now Tory MPs.

The BoJo effect.

More members of Liz Truss's cabinet are in Reform than in Badenoch's shadow cabinet...

Suella Braverman is a truly poisonous individual. Her recruitment by Reform tells you absolutely everything you need to know about that party's commitment to an independent judiciary and the rule of law.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.
