A few weeks ago, our UK media and Nigel Farage were clamouring to 'Get Starmer Out'.
Remember that? They were using it as their slogan for Matt GPT's disastrous by-election campaign. They claimed that it was a 'referendum on Starmer's leadership'.
It didn't quite go to plan. Starmer outplayed them all on that occasion.
Here's something that we need to remember though, when JD Vance came to the UK in July of 2025, he held a series of meetings in the Cotswolds with some British politicians.
Nigel Farage.
Robert Jenrick [Tory then, Reform now].
Danny Kruger [Tory then, Reform now].
James Orr [Tory then, Reform now].
Donald Trump is a destabilising force, but I don't really think he knows why. 😵💫
JD Vance is far more malign. He is wrapped, head-to-toe, in the Christian Nationalism/Project 2025 movement that Farage et al. are desperately trying to bring to our shores.
Reform will lose the Makerfield by-election, they picked a lame, three-legged donkey to run the Grand National. But they started this campaign the same as the last 'Get Starmer Out', before suddenly dropping it as the realisation dawned.
OK, this has gone a bit higgledy-piggledy, so what I'm trying to get to, is that any intervention by JD Vance in UK politics, is likely at the behest of Nigel Farage.
Farage is desperate, clawing at the floor while the daemon of scrutiny drags him backwards to the pitch dark basement of obscurity.
His only possible hope of survival is an early General Election, and to have that happen, he needs Starmer on the ropes.
Cue, JD Vance with a targetted intervention about:
migrants ✅
elites ✅
inciting anger ✅
Henry Nowak ✅
death of our civilization [sic] ✅
A tirade worthy of only one man … Nigel Farage.
The man who has sought to weaponise this tragedy and incited rioting only five days ago. The man who has gone against Henry's father's own wish that the tragedy should not be used as a weapon of hatred.
Nigel Farage is a dangerous force with the backing of, probably, the next President of the USA. Both are trying to destabilise and turn our societies into fascist visions of the far-right.
Don't let them.
Have a lovely weekend. 😊
This is your reminder that JD Vance is the lapdog of Peter Thiel, a multi billionaire tech bro whose ideology involves the complete removal of democracy, in favour of a technocracy.
This is your reminder that Vance was linked to Georgescu in Romania who was arrested for collusion with Russia.
This is your reminder that Nathan Gill, Reform’s leader in Wales, was jailed for ten years for taking Russian bribes.
This is your reminder that the British frontman for MAGA is Nigel Farage.
This is your reminder that the US government has fallen to authoritarian far right extremism and is openly engaging in foreign interference.
This is your warning that tech billionaires are the only dangerous minority that anybody who calls themselves a patriot should be concerned about.
Ian Hislop, "Nigel Farage has been trying to exploit a tragedy for his own personal political gain, which is rather nauseating"
"Nigel Farage did exactly what the family asked people not to do, to turn this into a divisive issue"
I’m hearing that Farage is really upset that the riots he has incited are being called the #FarageRiots.
Probably best if we don’t refer to the riots that Farage incited as the #FarageRiots.
Please share to raise awareness of the importance of not using the term #FarageRiots
@zatzi Supermarkets are paying such crap wages that many employees have to claim benefits just to fund the basics in life.
Meanwhile the bosses and the shareholders are raking in obscene profits.
So fuck off.
