The Labour thug is quitting.

By-election incoming.

Reform are favourites with the bookies. A near 15,000 majority to overturn. Won't be easy. Let's see what the voters in this Labour stronghold think of the government...

Will be interesting to see the Merseyside hinterland effect.

If Labour is ever destroyed, their last few seats would be found in this area...

Oh dear, oh dear, all is not well in the far right rabbit hole

It has emerged tonight on trustworthy mainstream media that Musk has expressed an interest in backing an alternative to Reform, following the spat between Lowe and Farage that has split the party.

It appears that the “real trigger” of tension between Farage and Lowe was Musk’s post on X in January that Reform needed a “new leader”, along with his indication that Lowe could be a replacement

Jeremy Hosking, formerly one of Reform’s biggest backers, said Reclaim, the alternative far right party that he has financed in recent years, would “surely be enhanced” by recent developments at Reform. “I would hope that discussions might take place between Lowe and Reclaim,” he added.

Lowe saidl on Monday,: “Is there a way back [to Reform]? I think it’s highly unlikely.” He also declined to rule out joining the Tories or forming a new political party.

Alex Stevenson, a former Reform parliamentary candidate, who resigned in January, said “We were all led to believe it was a grassroots party but it’s being replaced by people who have money or are friends of the party leadership,”

So there you have it. Reform in disarray and the prospect of another far right party challenging it backed by Musk.

Rats in a far right sack and all that. Entirely predictable but lovely to see nonetheless.

You seem to be talking a lot about the party which is leading in the polls...

I smell fear.

And Farage will be smiling because he comes out looking moderate and mainstream...

The Tories are in the doldrums and aren't going anywhere fast, and only 20% of all voters chose Labour at the last election... which is likely to be significantly less by the time of the next election, following their already disastrous, embarrassing tenure and endless lies.

As for the idea of a new party, one that is actually right wing, I wouldn't mind that. It is better for there to be more choice and competition, and we've already seen how very small players like UKIP and the Brexit Party were able to move the Overton Window on certain subjects and influence government. Securing the glorious referendum being one such example which I know you remember well :)

With four years to go, I say: why not? We know Labour won't be in power after that, and will have driven the country into an even more dire state by then, so what is interesting now is to see how the replacement develops and what will deliver the paradigm shift here that is already under way in the US. The involvement of Musk will mean big money, big ideas for change and an emphasis on individual liberties. Good. Maybe the new party and Reform will end up merging after a time, into something better, perhaps even absorbing some of the less useless Tories. We shall see.

What is very promising is to see that all the energy, vibrancy and momentum are on the Right. All the grass roots activity emerging from fresh and fertile ground. The Left on the other hand is absolutely dead. Stagnant. Uniparty, the Blob... Two corpses propping one another up, surrounded by greedy lawyers and charities accustomed to sponging on largesse that is fast disappearing.

Speaking of which, you don't ever say very much about your beloved Labour Party... are you quietly disappointed? That your energy bills are going up rather than down by £300 as promised by Sir Free Gear at the election? And that your winter fuel allowance has been confiscated? That they are tanking the economy? It isn't what you were hoping for and I think that is a real shame.

A quarter of sexual assaults being committed by foreigners...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news...o-quarter-of-sex-crimes/

So thanks to the state's failed border control and immigration policies, sexual assaults against women and girls are around one third higher than they would have been (based purely on those dangerous criminals born abroad).

This is a national scandal. But the current government is too busy talking about how to encourage women in Afghansitan to participate in sports...

The same old patterns of insanity, dysfunction and failure.
