I love being in the North, I don’t have to spend half an hour explaining that the Government is not on their side. They still have a strong community spirit. They love classic 70s & 80’s music especially ABBA and you can buy three pints for £10.50.
Excellent people
I am not sure how many former Conservative MPs have spent an evening in the Comrades Club in Horden, County Durham, but more should especially the day of the Durham Miners Gala. As the former MP for Coalville I feel at home. Great crowd!
Political reality... the right has a problem...
Reform has fumbled the ball. They were the anti-establishment option that became the establishment. They will continue to slide in the polls.
Gone has the rhetoric of fixing the country, backed with bold policies. Now we have petrol station and energy bill gimmicks - it is embarrassing and the lack of self-awareness with this nonsense is incredible.
Can they change course? Yes.
Will they change course? No.
GB News - The Reform Party TV station has a huge sunk cost, they backed a movement which is now failing. They can't back Restore, despite the fact that many viewers have already switched sides.
Reform will continue to slide in the polls. Eventually Nigel will step down before 2029 rather than face defeat.
The Conservatives really don't have momentum, certainly not with young people and their voter base is dying, literally.
The Green's have momentum but Zack Polanski is a revolutionary. The problem with revolutionaries is they are great at revolutions, great at tearing things down, terrible at running things. As he has little to no understanding of economics, the country will certainly head into a strange and dangerous place under him. Sadly, a coalition with the Labour Party is likely, to ensure the left win.
If they do, many of the wealth creators will leave the country before they confiscate everything. Utopia will not arrive and there will be many stupid people who will regret their vote.
The right can save themselves in the next election, but it needs to be a proper anti-establishment movement. Restore has the right ideas and energy, but this is a big job over the next three years.
The job is to educate and mobilise enough of the public to realise that:
- Inflation must be dealt with
- Growth must be allowed
- The blob must be dismantled
It requires big bold choices, like Milei has done in Argentina. The OBR must go, the Bank of England must be constrained, a chainsaw must be taken to the state, crime must be punished, indoctrination must be removed from education, etc... etc... The list is long, but it is all doable.
Never in history has the problem of a country been solved with socialism, it always and everywhere makes things work, but there are many stupid voters who have not read history. Remember, this is a cult, it is ideological.
We are in dangerous times!
I’m okay with splitting the UK into two, let the conservative people have one half and the lefties have the other…
In 5 years we can buy their half off them when they have run out of money.
I just questioned the most senior officials in the Treasury on why public sector bodies aren't held accountable for the way they waste our money, particularly when HMRC is absolutely crushing small businesses across the country who fund the whole bloody thing.
Labour are cancelling elections, jury trials, imposing digital ID, censoring online speech, arresting people for tweets, expanding facial recognition, all without a political mandate. This is how dictatorships operate.
And yet they call us a threat to democracy.
Watch my exchange with their MP who defended it all. 👇 #PoliticsLive
BBC's Panorama has been caught out AGAIN.
Editing President Trump's speech to make out he was calling for riots.
They tried to destroy me with vile and twisted fake news, but we turned the tables on them.
The British people are forced to pay for the BBC via a licence, many jailed for not paying!
The establishment used to have a monopoly on the news we watched.
Now you can decide for yourself on X and they’re terrified. So they call it “disinformation”. What’s disinformation anyway ? Is it just anything the establishment doesn’t like ?
Or anything that threatens the cosy monopoly the establishment had over news?
They’re not panicking because people are misinformed. They’re panicking because people are informed and no longer believe them.
