The election Post . Only the Reform Party promises to deal with the anti British BBC – please vote Reform -and if you are going to a voting station – take your own pen …
I hope that it’s not just him. They can’t seem to get past Labour in red seats snd even fall behind the Conservatives where Labour have gained. I am always a pessimist though.
Nigel is in! Phew! That is two but we could do with another. But as you are right to be pessimistic. I can’t see Reform getting into double figures as regarding seats. Overall though Reform are definitely going well if it intends to build up a base. I hope unlike Ukip it builds on it and does throw it all away,
Very disappointed by the coverage – maudent and shapps and bottomley out – but couldn’t see their expressions – sadly Sunak and Hunt have stayed – but of course at last Mr Farage finally beat the system …
Thangam debonaire – who was to be culture secretary – so bad she lost in a red landslide – so the evil Lucy Powell looks like being the new culture secretary ….
And Rees mogg gone – good
Watching the itv coverage – the SNP – with nichola watching on – is dead – Killed by incompetence and corruption – quite an achievement …..
The Sunak speech – a sort of suicide note on behalf of the blues – was liked by the presence of mr bin man – who got over 300 votes …
The starmer victory speech was dry – humourless – tedious – without grace – very red .
BTW – rishi has had a great night and achieved his objective of destroying his party …..
Be interesting to see the total votes for Reform v 4 or so seats .
Great to see the big hitters Farage , Tice and Anderson in Parliament, may only be small in numbers but that’s some voice .
This electoral system surely has to change , you simply cannot go on having millions upon millions of people voting for a party and getting minimal representation. It stinks .
Having said that, Farage alone is going to be fun 🤩
How about this ? Incredibly – incredibly – Ian Duncan smith has held Chingford for the conservatives – maybe he ll make their leader – again … I’m shocked ….
Looks like the Muslims didn’t turn out ..
This was a fascinating result. I’ve followed your comments about this constituency and remember it from the Norman Tebbit days. It seemed to me inevitable that Labour would win it, with the “vibrant enrichment” increasing by the year, simply based on demographics.
Here are the main results:
Iain Duncan Smith (Con.) 17,281
Shama Tatler (Lab.) 12,524
Faiza Shaheen (Indep.) 12,445
Paul Luggeri (Reform) 3,653
[Two other candidates] ………
Do I take it that the Indep. was a Muslim? And what of the Lab. one (maybe Muslim first name?) IDS should thank his lucky stars (and crescents!)
Mustapha – the Indy was a labour contender who got thrown out of the party about 2 months ago ? Because of anti semitic internet comments …… she got close at the last election and was a far left Corbyn type Hamas friends Muslim. – a sure win …
As you see – even after being de badged her far left operation raised a lot of muslim votes – but the Muslim labour vote split leaving IDS to keep his seat ( miracle – left footer et al) ….
Living in the constituency he was the only one bombarding with leaflets .
He got a lot of support because he stopped the communist council from building tower blocks in the nice bits of chingford – they wanted to import more lefty trash ….
I thought all the tories in e4 would vote Reform – but then IDS is still a Tory –
BTW – on tories – I saw I think David Davies lost his seat …
Has Sunack resigned yet ?. I expect he will be gone before Monday and quietly disappear on a plane out once the fuss dies down.
He will have his speech written already – though I doubt he will stomp off with his bottom lip stuck out like May and Cameron did. At least we are rid of Mr Smug.
I can’t bring myself to read the BBC articles : you can be sure they will have a record number of them as well for this election.
Now things will start to get ridiculous. And the BBC will – of course – cover it up.
Enjoy it BBC : it will be a VERY different story next time (assuming the Tories have not completely sold out).
JohnC
He told the result count that he was going to be sticking round for ‘years ‘ – can’t see that … it’s unfortunate that the blues still have so many seats ….. I was hoping for less than 50 …
Not in the same league as Brown and May of course – but placed into a position he is entirely unsuited for by the BBC and civil service double act – all for for this very day when their plan has worked spectacularly.
It seems the Muslim party ( independent ) won 3 seats last night – streeting almost lost his seat – 500 majority – but Galloway is gone ….
Mark Harper – has gone from transport secretary to ex MP – that’s maybe be 10 cabinet ministers now ex MPs …. I wonder how long before nut nut opens his trap …. ?
It looks like the way to win seats is to bungee jump like the repulsive Eddie Davey –
But it’s more like people just couldn’t vote red or blue or Farage so voted yellow …. Incredible …
Truss had that same vacant robot expression after losing her seat as she had leaving number 10 – absolutely dreadful communicator …..
Speaking of which – I’m waiting for a starmer ‘funny ‘ … it might take 5 years …. Or the next labour conference …..
I’m just so pleased that Reform have started the ball rolling. Four seats so far!
While exit polls are up there with foreigners flogging the Beeg Issue, the postal votes – mainly from more senior people like me and The Senora, may well make a huge difference.
We had the time to make balanced judgement, consider the alternatives, look at the monetary aspect, then finally just say, ‘Piss of Tories, you’ve blown it’. You don’t deserve any more time. You’ll just waste our money even more! You could have seen to Brexit, immigration, clipping the Beeboid wings and all manner of things that got you into parliament with a proper majority, and you’re going to suffer for this.
At least we’ll all see Strummer and Crayons failing from the start – you took years to continue failing.
Scroblene – so the blues are left with some of what there was before – Hunt held on with just 800 votes – they’ll scrap over the the leadership – but they ve lost the trust of the people who voted them in …. And won’t be getting it back ….
… farage is the commons will only get a voice if he does a deal with the blues – but it won’t happen – the msm will do its’ best to silence / marginalise Reform in the coming months / years ….and solidify the reds in power ….
Well, as expected, a Labour landslide…and all honour to those of you that stayed up all night and kept us informed…
Gald to see Nigel, at long last, make the breakthrough, along with a few colleagues. On the other hand, it’s gutting that one of the few men of honour in parliament, Andrew Bridgen, didn’t get back in, while that useless are-wipe Ed Davey has smashed it. There really is no justice…
But here’s the real choker…Reform pick up 15% of the vote and (thus far) have 4 seats…the Lie-Dems (misspelling deliberate) get 12% and have 70 seats, the Greens get7% and have 4 seats and the SNP get a measly 2%, but get 8 seats.
I for one am really sad that Andrew Bridgen did not win. One of the very few honest politicians.
I don’t vote, but I do leaflet. I can’t beat myself up not going to drive for two hours to leaflet for Bridgen because he got trounced by the uni-parties. Leafleting would not have made the difference.
The winning nuuuu liebour candidate is the very model of a Stepford wife.
Comrade Robinson interviews Toby Elwood and Steve Baker – both thankfully losing blues .
But surely defeated MPs – low on sleep – should be quiet rather Yap like dogs ….
Elwood sounds like he hasn’t lost his seat – Baker is just nasty slime – bad mouthing Nigel Farage and not recognising what he has achieved in a month .
Baker sounds mentally challenged and should go on Holiday – again ….
Up2 – I know all that – but speaking and behaving the way he did shows he is unfit – and deserves to go get a proper job .
If he was a conservative his conscience would have taken him elsewhere long ago …
The entitlement these characters display show they need a different existence – as I type Melvin stride – one of the last blue MPs is spouting crap with his 61 majority .
The answer as to what the blue party needs to do is simple – be conservative – be Reform.
Writingsonthewall came to mind this morning. When I first started posting on the BBC’s Political Blog back when Nick Robinson (now a chief TOADY) was the BBC’s Political Editor, Writingsonthewall was a fellow poster on the BBC PolEd’s Blog. If I recall correctly he was a raving Socialist but claimed to work for a bank(!) in Docklands in IT. This was back in 2008, so was the time of the Banking Crisis and another Labour Government. Does he/she still post on BBC Threads when they are open to comment?
Fellow posters were Rock Robin, Sagamix, Lefty10 and Strictly Pickled and many others. Wonder where they are now? BBC Blogs have fallen out of favour with the three senior BBC Editors and Faisal Islam, the Economics Editor, is hardly visible now – does he turn up for work daily at the BBC? He is a notable contrast to the hard working Stephanie Flanders who produced one or more Blogs per day and would read posts and reply to posters where they had picked her up on the very occasional error.
The gynaeceum that is BBC News staff drop all prior pretence that the ordering of their online press line-up might be random or happenstance this morning.
The stauch, reflexively, come rain or shine, Labour-supporting Daily Mirror tops the BBC charts with its exclamatory shout of: Landslide! – and the playground ner-ner, ner-ner-ner, sub-header taunt: Starmer and Labour’s thumping victory as Tories crushed (Mirror)
I’ve a recurring anxiety dream that somehow or other I’ve gotten myself into an awful lot of trouble. (Speaking truth to media power too explicitly hereabouts, perhaps?) Unjustly incarcerated on remand in some privatised corporate Serco-Mitie-plc-pfi-branded dungeon, awaiting an appearance before the AI-generated Beak and consequent bowlful of porridge at His Majesty’s pleasure – perhaps there’s still just some small glimmer of hope, some appeal to lady justice to be made on my behalf? – My brief walks in – and it’s Keir Starmer…
I experience that disturbing sinking feeling of sudden falling and awake with a start – with the makings of a day-long sick hangover.
In their excitement or dementia – I don’t know whether to pin the blame on our BBC or on Google – A pic of Joe Biden appears matched with the headline Corbyn wins Islington at Latest from bbc.co.uk – oh well, one confused old codger is much the same as another.
The celebrity obsessed giveaway Metro goes with: The eXit factor – then rather echoes the cries of the Corbynite far-leftists: Keir Stormer! – the commies call him Keir Stürmer for his night of the knives-like purges.
Boris Johnsonian classical analogy
I’d liken our Sir Keir to the stuttering Derek Jacobi in the role of Claudius as the praetorian guard soldiers, having assassinated the hated emperor Nero, run rampaging through the palace and discover him cowering behind a curtain. Cl-cl-cl-claudius is raised aloft as the default pick for the top job in Rome. And the state sector payroll vote, by the way, look forward to a big pay rise from the patsy they just installed on the throne. Despite the treasury having been plundered.
Your friend and mine Matt in the Telegraph sketches a couple at home in front of their googlebox as the on screen caption ‘Election 2024’ appears: “Let’s watch Titanic instead. I feel like I know how this one ends…”
And to bookend that cri de cœur Matthew Lynn comments: ‘Britain is on the brink of bankruptcy but no one will admit it’ (Telegraph)
Most national titles like the photograph of the happy couple: The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, and his wife, Victoria, arrive to cast their votes in London yesterday (Guardian)
All I’ve really been told about this public sector power couple pairing is that they lateral flow covid tested one another, the kids… and probably the pets… about five times a week and once more for luck… for a period of a couple of years – and that doesn’t bode well.
I’ve a strongly held belief, lately expressed as a recurring mantra hereabouts, that sport and politics oughtn’t to be mixed.
It’s at the stage with me now where I’d prefer to drop all pretence of national anthems and flags at international events.
Think about it. The stage is the Olympic track and field. Enter Team GB’s medal hungry African immigrants versus various shades of north American and continental European-branded African immigrants. What’s the point?
BBC golden balls Gary Lineker pontificating on Arabian human rights before signing some lucrative deal with the self-same arabs akin to trading in his old mum for a camel.
Of course our globalist regime are loving international sport. It’s all about the messaging. Hence the FT frets: Marcon’s timing sets fresh challenge for Paris Games
How so? With Ressemblement National’s Jordan Bardella potentially installed as premier when they open on July 26… (FT) – and we can’t be having that
The corprate globalist FT speaks for the ‘many’
For many, the worry now is the image of France that a far-right government with a nativist platform will present to the world (FT) – oh the humanity!
Quick, get the froggy version of Danny Boyle onto the opening ceremony show planning so as to celebrate French diversity and inclusion. What’s the Gallic equivalent of that NHS worship song and dance routine?
I’ve got it – a hundred Kylian Mbappés in stripy black and white jerseys and berets doing the Apache dance routine paired with a hundred blonde Marine Le Pen lookee-likees in satin split skirts and stockings while weilding knives in a dramatic sexy bar fight embrance to the death.
…the threat of disorder is complicating careful plans for policing the biggest global sporting event – laments the FT – oh the best laid plans of mice and men… of one world internationalist corporate elites and us poor parochial plebs.
“For many, the worry now is the image of France that a far-right government with a nativist platform will present to the world (FT) – oh the humanity!”
Saudi is a unmoderated Conservative Islamic gov – and yet we buy oil from the nasty people!
Have I read this right?
Labour vote share less than 2% up over 2019
Doesn’t sound like a landslide of positivity.
Yet creates a one party state.
Reform result incredible. That’s the message.
Bigger vote than the LibDems though way fewer MPs.
One unlikely to gain traction on the BBC or a shed of positivity.
They are too busy drooling over the Tory failure.
Sluff – yes that’s right – it’s the weirdness of the voting system . The reds won because people Would not vote blue any more – once bitten ……
I don’t know how many million votes reform got but it shows how unrepresentative the false democracy of Britain is …
…also – the second lowest turn out since 1865 ? So not much enthusiasm for the uni party ….
Of course not the false benefit claimants. Or those
like Tube Train drivers who on £1500 a week with overtime ,
who’s job could be taught to crows with a pouch of bird seed
in the front cabin. BUT a good few million folk, who like
turkeys ,have voted for CHRISTMAS. And how they will find out!!
But I for one am devastated that our very hard working MP
Theresa Villiers has lost her seat in Barnet. Yes like many
others , because of the Reform intervention. Sour grapes ? Yes.
The Conservative party asked for this. And by god . They got it
in spades.
15 % Vote share and 4 seats.
12% Vote share and 71 seats.
What a system hey !!
The UK stands almost alone in Europe in using a ‘one-person-takes-all’ disproportionate voting system. If we exclude the authoritarian state of Belarus – “Europe’s only remaining outpost of tyranny”
When is someone going to invade us on the basis of bringing proper democracy to the UK ? We did it to Iraq, Libya etc …
The liars at the BBC would have you believe that you are living in a representative democracy and that the backward peasants in Belarus are toiling under the oppression of a brutal dictator. It is, of course, a pack of lies. https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3543
“Covid-19: How does Belarus have one of the lowest death rates in Europe?
Plagued by political turmoil over “Europe’s last dictatorship” and with a president in denial of COVID-19, how has Belarus ended up with one of the lowest death rates on the continent? Kata Karáth reports
Belarus’s beleaguered government remains unfazed by covid-19. President Aleksander Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994, has flatly denied the seriousness of the pandemic, refusing to impose a lockdown, close schools, or cancel mass events like the Belarusian football league or the Victory Day parade.
Yet the country’s death rate is among the lowest in Europe—just over 700 in a population of 9.5 million with over 73,000 confirmed cases.”
Lukashenko refused to cave into the criminal banksters. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/corruption/belarusian-president-claims-imf-world-bank-offered-him-a-bribe-to-impose-covid-restrictions/
Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said last month via Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA., that the World Bank and IMF offered him a bribe of USD 940 million in the form of “Covid Relief Aid.” In exchange for USD 940 million, the World Bank and IMF demanded that the President of Belarus:
• imposed “extreme lockdown on his people”
• force them to wear face masks
• impose very strict curfews
• impose a police state
• crash the economy
There was no pandemic. There is no virus. There is a global criminal conspiracy and this is why Labour was scripted to win years ago so they can now go full throttle towards the completion of Agenda 2030. Most of this is achieved through mind control.
Rushanara Ali has been elected as the Member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Stepney, following the General Election which took place on Thursday 4 July 2024.

TOADY Watch #2 – much rejoicing from the Lefties at the BBC*
Fliss, BBC Business, (Felicity Hannah) rolls out some women to comment on the Labour win, and one especially is pleased: Raine Newton Smith, Socialist I think it is fair to say, D.G. of the CBI is pleased that Rachel Reeves will be in No.11 and claims that Labour is on the side of business. We’ll probably see the unemployment figures going up, especially in the oil and gas sectors, and the ‘green jobs growth’ failing miserably, farming increasingly threatened. Food rationing during the fifth year of Labour’s first term? Markets crashing again during the fifth year of Labour’s first term? Pound Sterling collapsing during the fifth year of Labour’s first term?
Oh joy!
*Jane Garvey moment with champagne bottle littering the corridors at BH. Do the BBC employ any Conservatives or conservatives at all?
” BIG BROTHER how should report Reform on the news now
on the BBC. They did get just under half the percentage of
votes that Labour got? ” Ok if Farage is mentioned . And I
insist he is mentioned as little as possible. It is prefaced by the fact
that he has lost eight elections before. As for the seats and and
percentage of the votes. I want to see as little as possible of
Reform.” Yes BIG BROTHER we are already making sure sure
of all of this already. And the fact that the Liberals won nearly
20 times more seats than the racist scum ,with less of a
percentage of the vote, will not be mentioned.”
“Foreign Secretary David Cameron, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and Argentinian football star Lionel Messi were among those whose affairs came under scrutiny following the leak.
In total the data revealed links to 12 current or former heads of state and government, including dictators accused of embezzling money from their own countries.”
“I would account the rise of a separate Islamic political force that no longer needs to work within the established parties as the most significant development of last night – and not in a good way”.
“Across the United Kingdom almost every constituency voted for lefties of various stripes – not just victorious Labour lefties, but also Scots nationalist lefties, Irish republican lefties, eco-lefties, Islamo-lefties and, of course, duplicitous pseudo-conservative lefties: you can get it in any colour as long as it’s red. ”
I reckon if president trump pops up to publicly congratulate Nigel Farage it should send the reds off the edge … box office …
And president trump visiting Clacton …
Labour assumed the loyalty of its Muslim voters as it does the loyalty of its gay voters, but the former seem to grasp that they will soon be strong enough to do without the socialist infidels.
Labour’s share of the vote is five points lower than Jeremy Corbyn’s supposedly humiliating defeat in 2017: in fact, it is the lowest share of the vote for any winning party ever .
Although I’ve stayed up on many election nights the inevitability of the result and too many grinning idiots meant I gave it a miss.
Quite honesty the result is a disaster for Britain, we can only look forward to increased taxation and Authoritarianism. More votes bought with our money by Labour from the ranks of the public sector and benefit addicts. At one time I thought the country might become a superstate again but people seem to want handouts rather than enterprise and self reliance.
Labour wants to disassemble the Planning system, God help us, we have to look forward to millions of shoddy small units being built for the adoring proles in unsuitable locations.
BBC Licence Fee (a.k.a. Telly Tax) increased to £200 by Labour? Then, when even more people stop paying it, it may be added to Council Tax by the Labour Government. UPFs will be banned, sugar and salt will be taxed.
Reform’s share of the vote in Scotland is 6.9%. Not quite what I predicted or hoped for but still not too bad given Scotland’s socialist heart and propensity to flirt with separatism. Not as good as the 15% share in England and nearly 17% in Wales, but it’s something to build on.

“The election results for Wales
Labour 486,636 votes (37.11%)
Conservatives 239,993 votes (18.3%)
Reform 223,018 votes (17.01%)
Plaid Cymru 194,769 (14.85%)
Liberal Democrats 85,911 (6.55%)
Green 61,662 (4.7%)”
I didn’t expect any different. As I’ve said before, the people of Wales are wedded to Labour, “My father and before him, my grandfather always voted Labour”.
However, the figures will show, now, what a danger Reform will become. Ditto England. To reach just under 46% of the Labour vote is truly amazing particularly when the short history of Reform is considered.
We, living in Wales can expect more socialist communism ahead. That punishment will be administered now, totally unchecked.
God yesterday they dug up heseltine – now they’ve got the EUs finest – comrade neil € kinnock € … blah blah ( no mention of out of control population growth – caused by uncontrolled invasions -now )
Wales is so Socialist that the Reform vote does surprise. I haven’t analysed the figures but I guess its probably ex Tory voters voting Reform in the border constituencies in places like Monmouthshire, Conwy and Powys.

He got a lot of support because he stopped the communist council from building tower blocks in the nice bits of chingford – they wanted to import more lefty trash ….
I thought all the tories in e4 would vote Reform – but then IDS is still a Tory –
BTW – on tories – I saw I think David Davies lost his seat …

Has Sunack resigned yet ?. I expect he will be gone before Monday and quietly disappear on a plane out once the fuss dies down.
He will have his speech written already – though I doubt he will stomp off with his bottom lip stuck out like May and Cameron did. At least we are rid of Mr Smug.
I can’t bring myself to read the BBC articles : you can be sure they will have a record number of them as well for this election.
Now things will start to get ridiculous. And the BBC will – of course – cover it up.
Enjoy it BBC : it will be a VERY different story next time (assuming the Tories have not completely sold out).

I’m just so pleased that Reform have started the ball rolling. Four seats so far!
While exit polls are up there with foreigners flogging the Beeg Issue, the postal votes – mainly from more senior people like me and The Senora, may well make a huge difference.
We had the time to make balanced judgement, consider the alternatives, look at the monetary aspect, then finally just say, ‘Piss of Tories, you’ve blown it’. You don’t deserve any more time. You’ll just waste our money even more! You could have seen to Brexit, immigration, clipping the Beeboid wings and all manner of things that got you into parliament with a proper majority, and you’re going to suffer for this.
At least we’ll all see Strummer and Crayons failing from the start – you took years to continue failing.

Well, as expected, a Labour landslide…and all honour to those of you that stayed up all night and kept us informed…
Gald to see Nigel, at long last, make the breakthrough, along with a few colleagues. On the other hand, it’s gutting that one of the few men of honour in parliament, Andrew Bridgen, didn’t get back in, while that useless are-wipe Ed Davey has smashed it. There really is no justice…
But here’s the real choker…Reform pick up 15% of the vote and (thus far) have 4 seats…the Lie-Dems (misspelling deliberate) get 12% and have 70 seats, the Greens get7% and have 4 seats and the SNP get a measly 2%, but get 8 seats.
Isn’t democracy wonderful…

TOADY Watch #1 – we’re in dire straits now
“Sky is crying, streets are full of tears,
Rain come down, wash away my fears,
Oh, I can read the writing on the wall.” (© Mark Knopfler)
Writingsonthewall came to mind this morning. When I first started posting on the BBC’s Political Blog back when Nick Robinson (now a chief TOADY) was the BBC’s Political Editor, Writingsonthewall was a fellow poster on the BBC PolEd’s Blog. If I recall correctly he was a raving Socialist but claimed to work for a bank(!) in Docklands in IT. This was back in 2008, so was the time of the Banking Crisis and another Labour Government. Does he/she still post on BBC Threads when they are open to comment?
Fellow posters were Rock Robin, Sagamix, Lefty10 and Strictly Pickled and many others. Wonder where they are now? BBC Blogs have fallen out of favour with the three senior BBC Editors and Faisal Islam, the Economics Editor, is hardly visible now – does he turn up for work daily at the BBC? He is a notable contrast to the hard working Stephanie Flanders who produced one or more Blogs per day and would read posts and reply to posters where they had picked her up on the very occasional error.
What a contrast to the BBC of today!

The gynaeceum that is BBC News staff drop all prior pretence that the ordering of their online press line-up might be random or happenstance this morning.
The stauch, reflexively, come rain or shine, Labour-supporting Daily Mirror tops the BBC charts with its exclamatory shout of: Landslide! – and the playground ner-ner, ner-ner-ner, sub-header taunt: Starmer and Labour’s thumping victory as Tories crushed (Mirror)
I’ve a recurring anxiety dream that somehow or other I’ve gotten myself into an awful lot of trouble. (Speaking truth to media power too explicitly hereabouts, perhaps?) Unjustly incarcerated on remand in some privatised corporate Serco-Mitie-plc-pfi-branded dungeon, awaiting an appearance before the AI-generated Beak and consequent bowlful of porridge at His Majesty’s pleasure – perhaps there’s still just some small glimmer of hope, some appeal to lady justice to be made on my behalf? – My brief walks in – and it’s Keir Starmer…
I experience that disturbing sinking feeling of sudden falling and awake with a start – with the makings of a day-long sick hangover.
In their excitement or dementia – I don’t know whether to pin the blame on our BBC or on Google – A pic of Joe Biden appears matched with the headline Corbyn wins Islington at Latest from bbc.co.uk – oh well, one confused old codger is much the same as another.
The celebrity obsessed giveaway Metro goes with: The eXit factor – then rather echoes the cries of the Corbynite far-leftists: Keir Stormer! – the commies call him Keir Stürmer for his night of the knives-like purges.
Boris Johnsonian classical analogy
I’d liken our Sir Keir to the stuttering Derek Jacobi in the role of Claudius as the praetorian guard soldiers, having assassinated the hated emperor Nero, run rampaging through the palace and discover him cowering behind a curtain. Cl-cl-cl-claudius is raised aloft as the default pick for the top job in Rome. And the state sector payroll vote, by the way, look forward to a big pay rise from the patsy they just installed on the throne. Despite the treasury having been plundered.
Your friend and mine Matt in the Telegraph sketches a couple at home in front of their googlebox as the on screen caption ‘Election 2024’ appears: “Let’s watch Titanic instead. I feel like I know how this one ends…”
And to bookend that cri de cœur Matthew Lynn comments: ‘Britain is on the brink of bankruptcy but no one will admit it’ (Telegraph)
Most national titles like the photograph of the happy couple: The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, and his wife, Victoria, arrive to cast their votes in London yesterday (Guardian)
All I’ve really been told about this public sector power couple pairing is that they lateral flow covid tested one another, the kids… and probably the pets… about five times a week and once more for luck… for a period of a couple of years – and that doesn’t bode well.
I’ve a strongly held belief, lately expressed as a recurring mantra hereabouts, that sport and politics oughtn’t to be mixed.
It’s at the stage with me now where I’d prefer to drop all pretence of national anthems and flags at international events.
Think about it. The stage is the Olympic track and field. Enter Team GB’s medal hungry African immigrants versus various shades of north American and continental European-branded African immigrants. What’s the point?
BBC golden balls Gary Lineker pontificating on Arabian human rights before signing some lucrative deal with the self-same arabs akin to trading in his old mum for a camel.
Of course our globalist regime are loving international sport. It’s all about the messaging. Hence the FT frets: Marcon’s timing sets fresh challenge for Paris Games
How so? With Ressemblement National’s Jordan Bardella potentially installed as premier when they open on July 26… (FT) – and we can’t be having that
The corprate globalist FT speaks for the ‘many’
For many, the worry now is the image of France that a far-right government with a nativist platform will present to the world (FT) – oh the humanity!
Quick, get the froggy version of Danny Boyle onto the opening ceremony show planning so as to celebrate French diversity and inclusion. What’s the Gallic equivalent of that NHS worship song and dance routine?
I’ve got it – a hundred Kylian Mbappés in stripy black and white jerseys and berets doing the Apache dance routine paired with a hundred blonde Marine Le Pen lookee-likees in satin split skirts and stockings while weilding knives in a dramatic sexy bar fight embrance to the death.
…the threat of disorder is complicating careful plans for policing the biggest global sporting event – laments the FT – oh the best laid plans of mice and men… of one world internationalist corporate elites and us poor parochial plebs.

“Covid-19: How does Belarus have one of the lowest death rates in Europe?
Plagued by political turmoil over “Europe’s last dictatorship” and with a president in denial of COVID-19, how has Belarus ended up with one of the lowest death rates on the continent? Kata Karáth reports
Belarus’s beleaguered government remains unfazed by covid-19. President Aleksander Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994, has flatly denied the seriousness of the pandemic, refusing to impose a lockdown, close schools, or cancel mass events like the Belarusian football league or the Victory Day parade.
Yet the country’s death rate is among the lowest in Europe—just over 700 in a population of 9.5 million with over 73,000 confirmed cases.”
Lukashenko refused to cave into the criminal banksters.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/corruption/belarusian-president-claims-imf-world-bank-offered-him-a-bribe-to-impose-covid-restrictions/
Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said last month via Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA., that the World Bank and IMF offered him a bribe of USD 940 million in the form of “Covid Relief Aid.” In exchange for USD 940 million, the World Bank and IMF demanded that the President of Belarus:
• imposed “extreme lockdown on his people”
• force them to wear face masks
• impose very strict curfews
• impose a police state
• crash the economy
There was no pandemic. There is no virus. There is a global criminal conspiracy and this is why Labour was scripted to win years ago so they can now go full throttle towards the completion of Agenda 2030. Most of this is achieved through mind control.

We’ll probably see the unemployment figures going up, especially in the oil and gas sectors, and the ‘green jobs growth’ failing miserably, farming increasingly threatened. Food rationing during the fifth year of Labour’s first term? Markets crashing again during the fifth year of Labour’s first term? Pound Sterling collapsing during the fifth year of Labour’s first term?

The results in Wales:
“The election results for Wales
Labour 486,636 votes (37.11%)
Conservatives 239,993 votes (18.3%)
Reform 223,018 votes (17.01%)
Plaid Cymru 194,769 (14.85%)
Liberal Democrats 85,911 (6.55%)
Green 61,662 (4.7%)”
I didn’t expect any different. As I’ve said before, the people of Wales are wedded to Labour, “My father and before him, my grandfather always voted Labour”.
However, the figures will show, now, what a danger Reform will become. Ditto England. To reach just under 46% of the Labour vote is truly amazing particularly when the short history of Reform is considered.
We, living in Wales can expect more socialist communism ahead. That punishment will be administered now, totally unchecked.
