    I accidentally saw a bit of Newshite and it was just a critique- free nauseating love-in.

    To think the “conservatives” have given us the most left wing government in history and now they want out vote. You only have to look at their DEI “leader” to know that they have not learned anything. I cannot ever forgive a party that landed us with Marxists.

    Racist corrupt left-wing white man replaces incompetent left-wing white man as Prime Minister, to stop the election of a right-wing black woman as Prime Minister. The bucket man wants to stop the right-wing white man from becoming Prime Minister. Elon Musk supports the only competent candidate for Prime Minister.

    Far-left criminal broadcaster refuses to interview anyone interviewed by Tom Robinson and Joe Rogan for three hours. The British Soviet Socialist Broadcaster complains that everyone who does not vote Labour, is a far right and correct, Christian free speech fanatic.

    President Trump said that the BBC is clearly a “leftist propaganda machine” and “100 percent fake news”. Elon Musk said “The BBC is complicit in the destruction of Britain… you’re forced to pay for your own destruction, it’s insane, it’s unfair, it is wrong”

    ChatGPT: Can you speculate about who the 28-year-old white male left-wing terrorist who murdered Ann Widdecombe was working for?

    ChatGPT says: The Police have only confirmed that white men are responsible for the murder.

    So the terrorist could have been working for the white male leader of the Labour Party. Other suspects could be evil white male criminals like Bill Gates, George Soros, Anthony Fauci and Albert Bourla.

    Like Jo Rogan, she was shocked, appalled and flabbergasted by the evil statements of “You’ll own nothing and be happy” Klaus Schwab, and the coat-of-arms of the white-male satanic socialist terrorist in sheep’s clothing organisation, called the Fabian Society. So Klaus Schwab and white male members of the Fabian Society could be suspect.

    According to former CIA agents. Britain is ruled by 33 evil white men. 33 Satanic Freemasons of the City of London Corporation Court, drawn from members of Farringdon Without Lodge No. 1745, Guildhall Lodge No. 3116 and the City of London Lodge of Installed Masters No 8220. All these evil left-wing white men have reached the secret fifth degree by swearing allegiance to Satan. Therefore all are suspect.

    Widdecombe opposed the evil white men of the Rothschild (Epstein) and Rockefeller crime families, who support the evil white-male ideologies of Satanic Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Globalism, Big Farmer and the Communist Corporate State Monopolies.

    So its no wonder that these evil left-wing ‘White Men’ wanted to murder her.

    Family fortunes and yet more of those disclosable pecuniary interests in this small controversy edition

    In-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror editorial meetings evidently remain rather flummoxed as what to put on their front page during this awkward Labour interregnum.

    Some literary reference, perhaps? “Friends, NHS heroes, countrymen, lend us your ears; We come to bury Starmer, not to praise him.

    Looking over their shoulder at their tabloid rival and alter ego, The Sun, they’ll notice a punning movie reference in a diss on Burnham: The Burn supremacy… New PM seizes No10 with no mandate… Says he has a plan.. It’s back to the 70s

    After thinking it over the Mirror opts to go back as far as the Blairite 90s: Showbiz exclusive… Spice up your wife… Mel C to marry model in secret Lake District ceremony this weekend – Not all that ‘secret’ now, is it?

    While we’re on the subject of celeb matrimony: Who is Andy Burnham’s wife, Marie-France van Heel? – asks Jennifer McKiernan, Political reporter, BBC. It very soon gets a tad hagiographic, as you can guess: She was described as the coolest girl in college when she first started dating Andy Burnham… He was in his second year of an English Literature degree, and Burnham’s former lecturer, John Mullan, wrote in the Times that other students thought he had scooped the pools when they began dating. (BBC)

    The whole nation is on a form of blind date with Burnham

    Mills & Boon meets Tribune Group: Although they started dating at university, van Heel had a surprising request in the early days of their relationship, when she asked Burnham if she could go on Cilla Black’s TV dating show Blind Date – and he agreed. So in 1992, wearing flares, a bottle green jacket and a yellow headband over her bobbed blonde hair, van Heel appeared on the hit ITV programme. She chose Will from Surrey to be her date on a holiday to Gibraltar, but the pair did not hit it off. (BBC)

    Having quickly reunited, Burnham and van Heel were reportedly in a bar in Parliament 12 years later when Will walked in, having become the director of communications for the Conservative Party. – Awks, as the kids would say. Coincidence, or do we get the impression our Uniparty are all drawn from a remarkably narrow little gene pool?

    By this point, van Heel had given birth to their first child, Jimmy – and it was his birth in March 2000 which Burnham has said spurred them on to get married, after years of living together. – might as well make it legal, eh Andy.

    “I think marriage is better for kids,” Burnham told the Daily Telegraph in 2007, adding: “I’m a bit old fashioned on these matters – although I have to admit that Jimmy, my eldest son, was at our wedding so I’m only old fashioned up to a point. – that’s the main criticism of Burnham right there – he wants to be all things to all men – so to speak – and all women of course. I hear he’s noticed the difference – just lately.

    News From The Patriarchy

    Our Grace Dean, BBC, writing a celeb family saga ain’t quite so romantically motivated: Brad Pitt’s children are dropping their dad’s surname – here’s why I did the same… Hannah’s parents divorced when she was a toddler and she hasn’t had much of a relationship with her dad since. She says she last saw him seven years ago and isn’t sure where he’s living now. Last month, the 25-year-old in California legally changed her surname to Leonard-Ripley, removing the reminder of her father and replacing it with a name combining her mother’s maiden name and her husband’s surname. That same month, two of the adopted children of Hollywood divorcees Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt undertook an important legal step in the process to drop their father’s surname, something they began earlier this year. (BBC) – You go, girls!

    Back to backing Burnham…

    There’s a discernable note of desperation evident in the Guardian’s reasoning for a punt on Andy: This is our last chance to beat the right – Burnham – so says the man himself. And one hundred per cent of our Labour MPs are going with that, despite the Corbynite rump.

    He may be about as much of a far-right threat to the liberal regime as an old grandfather clock, but he’s also getting some of the Trump/Le Pen/Farage treatment: US to give $7m to thinktank founded by Rees-Mogg… the Guardian can reveal

    Small controversy

    Back to Burnham: Van Heel has worked in marketing and strategy for many years, notably for Sky, and has also been involved in the logo designs for the BBC and England Rugby… There has also been a small controversy over Van Heel’s current role as the chief marketing officer of Iduna, which owns large parts of Manchester’s electric vehicle charging network… As Greater Manchester Mayor, Burnham had declared his wife’s job and stepped away from all decisions about Iduna and any linked infrastructure to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest. The Conservatives complained he had not declared she held 0.2% of company shares, the Times reported, but the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) confirmed Burnham was given legal advice that no further declaration was necessary because he had already declared Van Heel as an employee.
    “We are satisfied that the mayor has met his legal obligations to register disclosable pecuniary interests,” a GCMA spokesperson said.
    (BBC)

    Well, I’m glad we’ve cleared that up. And it’s good to know the BBC’s standards & ethics committee have put their heads together and given Andy a clean bill of health.

        ‘Because the investigation was upgraded to a counter-terrorism case, the evidence gathered from his digital data is legally protected under strict evidence laws and will likely not see the light of day until a formal court trial begins.’

        I wonder if they did that for exactly that reason. Everyone is basically banned from talking about it. Just like the Ukrainian rent-boys.

        What are the odds the trial is set for a long time in the future ?. The ban will remain until then. The murder of Jo Cox trial ended 5 months and 7 days later. Lets see how far they kick this one into the long grass.

    Radio Humberside news is run by green activist student types
    So today’s 8am news headlines were
    #1 “Burnham could reopen North Sea oil
    this is controversial, but, but etc.”
    #2 A new artificial green jet fuel factory is to be built in Immingham
    (This is not new news, they’ve done the same story 20 times before
    But the station feels obligated to run every local green biz press release..#PRasNews)

    Strangely Radio Lincolnshire did that first story as the fourth item , but in the exact same package
    That shows it’s written by national BBC HQ
    The characteristics
    #1Prenews kiteflying technique
    “the government is expected to announce on Monday” instead of “the gov has announced”
    #2 the loaded language framing it “controversial” etc.
    Dunno if it’s Labour softening up their activists, or riling them up so they can then say ” we wanted oil fields, but it’s too difficult ”

    Bottom line the gov really needs that tax money, and to signal to the markets that tax money from oil will be arriving in 5 years time

          The companies making SAF are though, 100% reliant on tax payer grants (not loans).

          It’s expensive, even when subsidised, not approved for routine use and (quite mad) inflated virtue signalling claims abound. The food >> fuel route has been known as an order of magnitude wrong cul-de-sac for several decades yet the Green blob parasites keep whipping the dead horse and dressing the whole subject up in PR lies and trousering £££££££££££ public funding for virtue signalling claptrap.

    Just browsing the BBC news site and it struck me just how out of control they are now for pushing their far-Left agenda.

    Ignoring the Burnham smiling and doing a ‘thumbs up’ to reflect the socialist BBC approval of his appointment, I saw another headline of a poor ‘victim’ of ‘gazundering’.

    This is ‘Sarah’. This picture is on the front news page and also in the article:
    e25f5800-81e1-11f1-8b86-31ce3d5ecce7.jpg.webp

    Then we are ourselves victims to another BBC trick.
    ‘”It was awful, your heart just drops to your stomach,” says Sarah, not her real name.’

    By changing her name it makes us think she is such a serious victim, she must not be identified. But why ?. We aren’t told her surname or anything. And the entire article focusses on ‘Sarah’ and we are only told casually later she has a husband and 2 kids. Where are they ?. And how on Earth did this story end up on a BBC ‘reporters’ desk ?. Did ‘Sarah’ email them ?.

    And of course it’s almost 100% empathy porn again. I call this article another completely made up BBC lie. They chose something they wanted to report and made up the story to fit their agenda. Just like they did many times in Gaza.

    Here’s ‘Sarah’ again. Worrying how to pay for a funeral in 2021. The exact same picture.
    https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/how-to-pay-for-funeral/

    This is the modern BBC. They stick to the rules only because they have to. If they can cheat and lie while carefully working around them, they have no conscience whatsoever about doing it.

    \\ Restore Britain Faces Claims of Neo-Fascist Infiltration in Local Branches
    Last updated
    1 hour ago X com news
    A Times investigation, based on Hope Not Hate research, alleges that individuals with histories of white nationalism and Hitler admiration hold key roles in Restore Britain branches across England.
    The party, founded in February 2026 by MP Rupert Lowe after leaving Reform UK, focuses on deporting millions of illegal migrants and failed asylum seekers while targeting high-risk countries for controls. Local figures like Bolton’s Ian Neasham deny admiring Hitler but back remigration, while London organizer Lydia calls the report a smear and shares her experience as a grooming gang survivor receptive to the message //

    (The Times article doxxed her real name)
    Her statement
    The recent Hope not Hate article is a shameful attempt to smear and misrepresent me in order to advance their own agenda. It is especially sickening that they would target someone with my background.

      “I couldn’t give a toss what these people say,” he added, in reference to Hope not Hate.

      “They don’t like my views on deporting illegal migrants? Tough. I do not care. “I am going to continue pushing for the deportation of every single illegal migrant.”

    The A1/M1 is the main road from London to Edinburgh.
    In Northumberland it is reduced to a single carriageway and causes lots of delays.

    For decades, before every General Election, all Parties have promised to dual this part of the A1
    Whichever Party won always found an excuse not to do it and it’s still a single carriageway.

    When the different Party’s start saying, again, they will dual this road then that’s a signal there’s a General Election coming.
    If I hear them saying this again I’ll let you know as a GE will be coming.

      … but ironically outside factors might have a bigger effect – such as thd Iran war – which I hope is restarting and Trump finally realises he has to regime change – otherwise Iran will always be the big enemy and will attack Israel directly one day …
      The uk economy will continue to tank – oil drilling will take ages – so no benefit there – inflation staying up if oil prices rise again – state borrowing getting more expensive – all in the lead to 2029 ….
      Will they have killed Farage by then ? Widdecombe is the test – can Reforn succeed without Farage ?

      As I say – so many variables …. Maybe rejoining the EU will be the carrot for burnham to win a real general election – on top of the Obama Biden fiddling in key constituencies to supplement Muslim corruption ….

      Isn’t it weird that a third runway at Heathrow and the Elizabeth Line, and even HS2 are deemed good for growth. But you try and improve a road, the normal choice of transport for 85% of the population, and the government comes up with ‘it might increase pollution and encourage car use’. So the real way to achieve growth, and make most people’s lives a little better, is thrown down the toilet.
      The BBC, with its HQ next to a tube station, and chauffeur-driven ‘top talent’ haven’t got a clue.

    Now, Vickrum Digwa’s mother, who did absolutely nothing to aid the dying English lad, but took away the murder weapon, has been handed a risible sentence of three years. Which, in effect, will mean, she will be out before Christmas.

    So, there you have it. Lucy Connolly, who wrote a few unfortunate words on Twitter received three years. Digwa’s mum, who ignored a dying white lad and then concealed a murder weapon got three years.

    Nothing two-tier about that, is there?

    Very shortly this country is going to go pop…

      Any foreigner who commits a crime that warrants a jail sentence of 12 months or greater, including a suspended sentence, can be expelled from the UK (in place since 2024 and confirmed in Sentencing Act 2026). This law needs to be applied regardless of immigration status i.e. it would automatically override and cancel any claim to asylum or refugee status. Similarly, anyone who had acquired citizenship through naturalisation would automatically lose that citizenship and be deported. So-called dual nationals would also qualify.

      I thought Digwa’s mum’s sentence pathetic. She wasn’t just an accessory after the fact, I suggest she was an active participant in the murder as Henty Nowak’s life might have been saved if she’s been honest. The charge could have been Manslaughter but I guess proving beyond reasonable doubt would have been hard.

    When you think about it, the majority of news staffers, including the BBC contingent have arrived in their jobs via more or less the same route…. secondary school being indoctrinated by state payed lefty teachers, university being preached at and fine-tuned by even more left-wing tutors both professions having no grounding in “earning” a living or being cost effective basically just showing up to draw a nice salary. It is no surprise then that the majority of people going through this Marxist educational meat grinder who end up in news reporting are conditioned into the hate of conservatism and the unquestioning blinkered faith in left-wing philosophies.

    ‘We have found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.’

    Hmmmm…..so the great extremist far-right anti-Islam terror threat that immediate police action stopped in its tracks and ‘saved lives’ was a great big nothing…as we suspected….possibly timed and exaggerated to divert attention from Widdecombe’s murder and hype the idea that Muslims are the real victims in Britain…

    ‘Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: “This has been a fast-moving investigation after we became aware of information to indicate there was a potential threat towards the Islamic event over the course of last weekend.

    “Since then, we have made extensive inquiries, but at this time, we have found no evidence to support anyone being charged with any offences linked to the alleged threat.

    Whilst the initial report from the BBC about the ‘threat’ was the second most prominent on its front page, next to Widdecombe, the retraction is a quiet little story on the UK page.

    The Sunday iteration of the Guardian that is the Observer promotes a current affairs cartoonist to full front page exposure – but for my money (a stonking bank-busting £4.50 cover price) the effort is way over-large, over-blown and goes over the head.

    So while our mate Matt in the Telegraph combines news of the nation’s football disappointment with the inauguration of a new New Labour new PM – sketching an everyday workaday couple watching their TV screen announce ‘Burnham’s Vision’ and remarking: “If the World Cup has taught us anything, it’s that we shouldn’t get our hopes up” – yours for £4 a pop.

    And while the Sunday Times priced at an extraordinary five quid (Fiver, Lady Godiva, deep sea diver – or in non-welfare sick-note-Yookay conservative terms: an alarm clock British “Striver”) goes with their suspiciously left-leaning in-house comic Newman in anthropomorphic mood sketching Larry the Number 10 cat reading a newspaper headline ‘New PM’ to some Jerry the Mouse figure and commenting “Seventh time lucky”

    Because just like a born again Christian wearing a rubber wrist band emblazoned with the motto “What would Jesus do?” as their constant aide-mémoire – criticise Labour leadership revolving door premiership shenanigans and you’ll get the left-leaning off-the-cuff reply “Liz Truss”

    As for the Observer full page Andy as Odysseus cartoon, we hear Burnham read English Lit rather that the classics, and surely Boris was our last ever Greek scholar PM, but in-house pretensions and cartoonist Chris Riddell conjure Burnham’s odyssey of his legendary route back down to Westminster from that crazy mythic Lotus-eating (read MDMA ?) island of Madchester. Nod and a wink of course to the current Christopher Nolan movie.

    Inevitably there’s a culture wars issues over this movie – the latest up tick in a conflict now waging for about as long as that Trojan original – or that Ukraine thing Keir Starmer got awarded his French medal of honour for (If those latter two concepts combined isn’t an oxymoron)

    Left-leaning Variety mag has got the academics in for a screening and reassures itself: …so much of the conversation has been about how ‘woke’ or progressive this film was going to be… actually… it’s a very conservative film. The roles for women are constrained. The interracial casting is women of color who just get to be married to white men, which is not progressive

    Burnham’s coming travails as PM seem to be rather more Herculean than Odyssean.

    How to master the multi-headed hydra of public sector pay demands and the ever- burgeoning welfare bill – whilst taming the Nemean Lion of his socialist Labour back benchers?

    One thing is for sure – he’s very much just another creature of the regime – and certainly not the man to Clean the Augean Stables.
