Rishi to demand he pays all HIS WEATLH taxes to Starmer for the rest of his life! H AH AHHAHA!
Akshata Murty may have avoided up to £20m in tax with non-dom status. Rishi Sunak’s wife has potentially avoided up to £20m in UK tax by being non-domiciled and pays £30,000 a year to keep the status – revelations that come amid growing political pressure on the chancellor.
Here is something you wont hear or see on the BBC.
It took 1 MILLION votes to get each of the four REMAIN MP’S to be elected.
. Have a guess how many it took LABOUR.
to achieve their 410 seats.
Was it 250,000 ? 150,000, 100,000, 50,000 40,000 30,000
or 23, 622 ?
And we go on about elections in Russia , Iran, China . Or North
Korea !!
And that happened in —-er —— England …… but people are so tamed now as to not notice or comment … the bbc certainly wouldn’t … they missed a trick not waving queer or Hamas flags though … maybe next time …
That question about which country does a new PM goes to first – has been answered without the need for a decision . There’s a NATO thing in the US next week so Starmer can get to meet president Obama and his pals to kiss hands …
“The loyalists have been handed flags to wave and cheer with by Labour HQ – the Union Jack, Welsh and Scottish flag – to showcase Starmer’s grand vision of a united kingdom. Though there’s a glaring omission: not a single English flag in sight…”

Farage debrief on youtube had co ordinated disruption from 6? In the audience shouting out in turn – just like actors – which farage mentioned out loud .
Very slightly off topic and a bit late, do we know if Equity has withdrawn, or is planning to withdraw, Andrew Parker’s union card for the racist remarks he made on national TV while “canvassing” for Reform?
If his card is not withdrawn then what does this say about the entire incident? Surely, it would more or less confirm that he was in cahoots with others (Channel 4’s production company perhaps) or even a national political party to discredit Reform’s chances.
I suspect that in all other circumstances the luvvies’ union would be very quick to act against someone making such comments.

Put it this way. I am far from being clever so I would feel more confident of victory playing Ludo with a stupid Labour MP than playing against a clever Labour MP.
Incidentally, I voted for the Reform Party so does that make me thick,clever or evil?

Before any of you clever bastards remind me that Ludo is decided by the throw of a dice and not by intelligence, I am really not THAT thick!!
They are all in on the scam. This is a global conspiracy. The sooner you become a full-blown swivel-eyed conspiracy nut the greater the chances you have of surviving 2030 and beyond. Although given the state of the world by then you may choose other options.
This is of course why the Black Nobility et al. introduced democracy into the West. They realised the peasants were awakening to the scams of the elites. What better way to control the dumb masses than to convince them they have a choice in the fate of their pitiful lives? After all, those enlightened souls who could see through the scam would be trapped on the ship of fools with no possibility of disembarking safely.
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are no longer taught in our schools for a reason. Too many kids might get the idea that democracy isn’t such a good thing after all and start looking for genuinely equitable solutions to a problem that has plagued mankind since his creation.
The children I teach are indifferent to the adult world. This defies the experience of thousands of years. A close study of what big people were up to was always the most exciting occupation of youth, but nobody wants to grow up these days and who can blame them? Toys are us. … Time for a return to democracy, individuality, and family. I’ve said my piece. Thank you. {naturalchild.org – john gatto – jan1990}
“In 2010, Mahmood was elected as MP for Birmingham Ladywood, becoming one of the UK’s first female Muslim MPs, along with Rushanara Ali and Yasmin Qureshi.

“…and it shouldn’t have been our high commissioner (UKs) called in by the Pakistani Government to be lectured, we should have pulled in the envoy of Pakistan here and said ‘Stop that right now (protesting by blowing things up), or do without the aid we give you (Pakistan) …'”
– Christopher Hitchens had a point in 2007
When you think about it, Farage caused the Boris win in 2019 by withdrawing his Party (to get Brexit done) and also caused the Labour win yesterday instead of a probable hung parliament.
Just imagine what he can do when Reform really take off.
He’s head and shoulders above any of the other politicians and I’m glad he’s on our (my) side as he’s a formidable opponent.
I’m looking forward to seeing how many Tories, who lost their seats, come whingeing and whining to Nigel Farage, and begging for a place in the next by-election!
I can imagine a few monosyllabic and dismissive comments coming from Reform HQ…
Mass immigration is an enormous political issue in the UK, but many people are afraid to say that in public for fear of being cancelled. Many Brits didn’t want to tell me they were against mass immigration if I was recording them on camera.
The establishment media is even more vicious than the establishment political parties when it comes to silencing contrarian voices. If you think the Canadian media is bad, you’d be shocked at the misconduct of the British media.
It’s possible for courageous politicians to go around the regime media, though, by using social media. Nigel Farage, the former leader of the Brexit movement who now leads Reform UK, mastered social media, and was able to connect directly with people, especially youth.
People don’t like fake conservatives. If a “Conservative” party doesn’t live up to its name, people will either stay home or vote for someone else. The fake UK Conservatives got thrashed after 14 years of breaking promises.
The “first past the post” voting system makes it hard for upstart parties to get any traction. (The Labour Party got just 34% of the votes, but got 64% of the seats in Parliament; Farage’s Reform Party got 14% of the vote, but less than 1% of the seats. They came in second in nearly 100 constituencies, but that obviously doesn’t count.)
There are now five pro-Hamas MPs who ran as independent candidates in highly Muslim constituencies. They each campaigned on the idea that the Labour Party wasn’t pro-Gaza enough. No doubt Labour will become even more anti-Israel to appease this growing phenomenon.
Labour will likely continue the open borders approach to immigration, and the problems of Islamic extremism, high housing costs, social discord and crime will continue — perhaps irreversibly. Parts of the UK no longer look like the UK.

I recall Dame Jenny Harries revealing something of her colours when asked at a press conference about what might be causing an increase in deaths, after the Covid vaccination campaign.
Unable to explain the rise, she threw out “climate change?”
A senior Tory source has it bluntly: “He’s literally doing the f**king conga after wiping out the party.” Even Starmer’s welcome reception was more muted than this…
The theological basis for Islamic finance stems partly from the traditional prohibition of usury or interest, which means that interest-based lending may not appeal to followers of Islam. Islamic finance products have been structured to avoid the payment of interest. These financial products have been developed so that they fall within the regulatory and legal framework of England and Wales and so introduce no new concept in HM Land Registry terms. They are available in the UK to Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
The three forms of contract are:
Ijara wa Iqtina
Diminishing Musharaka
Murabaha

Not had enough yet ? Here’s lord frost writing at 2300 4 July
START Professor Norman Dixon’s landmark book, On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, showed how and why certain generals, seemingly well trained, clever, fitted for the job, nevertheless failed catastrophically at the job they were given.
In a case study of the failed British defence of Singapore in 1942, Dixon wrote that “the more events proved them to be wrong, the stronger their defences became against admitting this to be the case”, and that General Percival, their highly intelligent commander, showed “ineffectual leadership”: “passivity and courtesy, rigidity and obstinacy, procrastination, gentleness, and dogmatism”.
Overall, he identified a tendency to ignore inconvenient facts, to stay in well-trodden comfort zones and stick to routines and actions that had served them well in previous roles, to obsess about second-order issues rather than get to grips with the core problems, and to be frozen by indecision at critical moments.
Remind you of anything? Perhaps, were he writing today, Professor Dixon would be tempted to pen On the Psychology of Political Incompetence. After all, the traits he identified have all been readily visible at the top of the Conservative Party in the last year.
That’s why we have tonight’s disastrous result – and a disaster it is, if not quite the utter wipe-out some predicted. The strategy chosen by the outgoing Tory leadership – to ignore the 2019 electoral coalition and political realignment, to pretend Brexit never happened, and to tilt Left-wards away from actual conservatism – was a comfort zone plan, not one that engaged with the reality of the political situation. It was compounded by the inability to deliver anything important, the repeated failure to get to grips with illegal immigration, and the view that legal migration didn’t matter, and the obsession with second order issues like the smoking ban. And the polls fell consistently as all this became more and more obvious to Conservative voters.
Many of us, beginning with Suella Braverman in her powerful resignation letter last autumn, have been pointing out that catastrophe was coming. We might as well have talked to the wall. The clique around the Prime Minister knew better. As poll after poll predicted disaster, we were told that Downing Street knew best. Like General Percival, the more events worsened, the more they clung to their analysis. Those of us who wanted to save something of the party while it was still possible were frozen out.
In recent days, this has all been coupled with an air of entitlement entirely unjustified by the conduct of the campaign. The leadership seemed to believe that, whatever its errors, whatever its failure to deliver, the Conservative Party had an absolute right to occupy the Right of British politics. Nigel Farage and Reform were treated as if they were the tenantry arriving at the front door with pitchforks, or uppity domestic staff disrupting the smooth running of a stately home, rather than people who had actual grievances and had every right to make their case. The leadership of the party have simply failed to realise that trust in them is broken and instinctual loyalty to the party is largely gone. Hence tonight’s result.
Decent man though he is, Rishi Sunak’s brief, tragic premiership has ended, and it is best that it has done so, though I wish it could have been sooner. He never seemed to understand the skills needed to lead, and all he and the group of mediocrities and nonentities around him were able to achieve was stop anyone else doing so instead. Some of them will no doubt be paying the price before tonight is out, as, unhappily, will large numbers of good conservative MPs, too.
All that is left now is a rebuilding job, and it’s a huge one. Discussion of that can wait – though not for long. What is clear is that those directly responsible for tonight’s disaster – the leadership, the accommodationist grandees, the defeatist commentators around them – can’t be part of the reconstruction. They need to go and not be seen again. Then the Right of centre in British politics, those with actual conservative beliefs, whatever party they are in, can start to do what is necessary: unite behind a conservative vision with a coherent set of policies and the determination to deliver them. That is going to take time. All the more need to start soon. ENDS
I like the parallel with Singapore – which I’ve read is a text book example of being unable to see what is coming – unable to recognise the ability of the enemy and failing to put in countermeasures -even with the superior forces the common wealth had it place …
I don’t know what happened to perceval ( Sunak ) perhaps he died with his men at the hands to the japs / reds …
I heard Elwood saying this . I thought his judgement was screwed by tiredness and emotion – having lost his seat – but it was that air of entitlement and superiority which really hit … so lost

Robert Plant – ‘Ship of Fools’

This is of course why the Black Nobility et al. introduced democracy into the West. They realised the peasants were awakening to the scams of the elites. What better way to control the dumb masses than to convince them they have a choice in the fate of their pitiful lives? After all, those enlightened souls who could see through the scam would be trapped on the ship of fools with no possibility of disembarking safely.
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are no longer taught in our schools for a reason. Too many kids might get the idea that democracy isn’t such a good thing after all and start looking for genuinely equitable solutions to a problem that has plagued mankind since his creation.

The children I teach are indifferent to the adult world. This defies the experience of thousands of years. A close study of what big people were up to was always the most exciting occupation of youth, but nobody wants to grow up these days and who can blame them? Toys are us. … Time for a return to democracy, individuality, and family. I’ve said my piece. Thank you. {naturalchild.org – john gatto – jan1990}

When you think about it, Farage caused the Boris win in 2019 by withdrawing his Party (to get Brexit done) and also caused the Labour win yesterday instead of a probable hung parliament.
Just imagine what he can do when Reform really take off.
He’s head and shoulders above any of the other politicians and I’m glad he’s on our (my) side as he’s a formidable opponent.

Here’s some of what I learned:
Mass immigration is an enormous political issue in the UK, but many people are afraid to say that in public for fear of being cancelled. Many Brits didn’t want to tell me they were against mass immigration if I was recording them on camera.
The establishment media is even more vicious than the establishment political parties when it comes to silencing contrarian voices. If you think the Canadian media is bad, you’d be shocked at the misconduct of the British media.
It’s possible for courageous politicians to go around the regime media, though, by using social media. Nigel Farage, the former leader of the Brexit movement who now leads Reform UK, mastered social media, and was able to connect directly with people, especially youth.
People don’t like fake conservatives. If a “Conservative” party doesn’t live up to its name, people will either stay home or vote for someone else. The fake UK Conservatives got thrashed after 14 years of breaking promises.
The “first past the post” voting system makes it hard for upstart parties to get any traction. (The Labour Party got just 34% of the votes, but got 64% of the seats in Parliament; Farage’s Reform Party got 14% of the vote, but less than 1% of the seats. They came in second in nearly 100 constituencies, but that obviously doesn’t count.)
There are now five pro-Hamas MPs who ran as independent candidates in highly Muslim constituencies. They each campaigned on the idea that the Labour Party wasn’t pro-Gaza enough. No doubt Labour will become even more anti-Israel to appease this growing phenomenon.
Labour will likely continue the open borders approach to immigration, and the problems of Islamic extremism, high housing costs, social discord and crime will continue — perhaps irreversibly. Parts of the UK no longer look like the UK.

Practice guide 69: Islamic financing
Updated 9 September 2019
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/islamic-financing/practice-guide-69-islamic-financing
The theological basis for Islamic finance stems partly from the traditional prohibition of usury or interest, which means that interest-based lending may not appeal to followers of Islam. Islamic finance products have been structured to avoid the payment of interest. These financial products have been developed so that they fall within the regulatory and legal framework of England and Wales and so introduce no new concept in HM Land Registry terms. They are available in the UK to Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
The three forms of contract are:
Ijara wa Iqtina
Diminishing Musharaka
Murabaha
This guide also discusses the emergence of the Islamic bond or sukuk market.

There’s a great bit about the new reform mp for Basildon – he was speaking to Farage – I think during a recount – having stepped outside . Farage said ‘who is monitoring the count- your agent ? ‘No says candidate – im my own agent – my mum and dad are watching the count ….’
Farage said he will be at Basildon ? At 10 00 Saturday morning to meet the 5th reform MP and go walk about to thank the good people .

Not had enough yet ? Here’s lord frost writing at 2300 4 July
START Professor Norman Dixon’s landmark book, On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, showed how and why certain generals, seemingly well trained, clever, fitted for the job, nevertheless failed catastrophically at the job they were given.
In a case study of the failed British defence of Singapore in 1942, Dixon wrote that “the more events proved them to be wrong, the stronger their defences became against admitting this to be the case”, and that General Percival, their highly intelligent commander, showed “ineffectual leadership”: “passivity and courtesy, rigidity and obstinacy, procrastination, gentleness, and dogmatism”.
Overall, he identified a tendency to ignore inconvenient facts, to stay in well-trodden comfort zones and stick to routines and actions that had served them well in previous roles, to obsess about second-order issues rather than get to grips with the core problems, and to be frozen by indecision at critical moments.
Remind you of anything? Perhaps, were he writing today, Professor Dixon would be tempted to pen On the Psychology of Political Incompetence. After all, the traits he identified have all been readily visible at the top of the Conservative Party in the last year.
That’s why we have tonight’s disastrous result – and a disaster it is, if not quite the utter wipe-out some predicted. The strategy chosen by the outgoing Tory leadership – to ignore the 2019 electoral coalition and political realignment, to pretend Brexit never happened, and to tilt Left-wards away from actual conservatism – was a comfort zone plan, not one that engaged with the reality of the political situation. It was compounded by the inability to deliver anything important, the repeated failure to get to grips with illegal immigration, and the view that legal migration didn’t matter, and the obsession with second order issues like the smoking ban. And the polls fell consistently as all this became more and more obvious to Conservative voters.
Many of us, beginning with Suella Braverman in her powerful resignation letter last autumn, have been pointing out that catastrophe was coming. We might as well have talked to the wall. The clique around the Prime Minister knew better. As poll after poll predicted disaster, we were told that Downing Street knew best. Like General Percival, the more events worsened, the more they clung to their analysis. Those of us who wanted to save something of the party while it was still possible were frozen out.
In recent days, this has all been coupled with an air of entitlement entirely unjustified by the conduct of the campaign. The leadership seemed to believe that, whatever its errors, whatever its failure to deliver, the Conservative Party had an absolute right to occupy the Right of British politics. Nigel Farage and Reform were treated as if they were the tenantry arriving at the front door with pitchforks, or uppity domestic staff disrupting the smooth running of a stately home, rather than people who had actual grievances and had every right to make their case. The leadership of the party have simply failed to realise that trust in them is broken and instinctual loyalty to the party is largely gone. Hence tonight’s result.
Decent man though he is, Rishi Sunak’s brief, tragic premiership has ended, and it is best that it has done so, though I wish it could have been sooner. He never seemed to understand the skills needed to lead, and all he and the group of mediocrities and nonentities around him were able to achieve was stop anyone else doing so instead. Some of them will no doubt be paying the price before tonight is out, as, unhappily, will large numbers of good conservative MPs, too.
All that is left now is a rebuilding job, and it’s a huge one. Discussion of that can wait – though not for long. What is clear is that those directly responsible for tonight’s disaster – the leadership, the accommodationist grandees, the defeatist commentators around them – can’t be part of the reconstruction. They need to go and not be seen again. Then the Right of centre in British politics, those with actual conservative beliefs, whatever party they are in, can start to do what is necessary: unite behind a conservative vision with a coherent set of policies and the determination to deliver them. That is going to take time. All the more need to start soon. ENDS
