@nellbergcricket The kicker is the UK has to immigrate all 200m first

@cristo_radio @CharlotteCGill @ShabanaMahmood She doesn’t believe in, or accept that racism against white people can happen.

@JCORFO @PatrickChristys @Homeland_Party They said a lot of things. But all of them lies. They knew as soon as they played the race card, everything is in their favour. UK in a nutshell

@nellbergcricket The irony is that, result aside, this is Hills’ dream customer and bet type. It’s precisely who they target

@tayz2017 We had months long BLM virtue signalling when the George Floyd incident happened.

This is several orders of magnitude worse but the population has been programmed that you can’t defend/support a white person

[Bet Angel - Betfair trading @betangel]

@Keir_Starmer Just harshly tax it. That seems to be your government's solution to everything else.

@nickgoff79 Rings true till you see Bellingham is still going…

More tax more tax more tax

Increase welfare, reward the unemployed, incentivise the immigrants

UK death spiral will never end with this thinking

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

Wes Streeting has this morning set out his tax plans - specifically bringing capital gains tax into line with income tax

He says that the current system is unfair because it penalises work

Higher or additional rate taxpayers will pay 24% on gains in the current financial year. Streeting said that the rates should mirror income tax bands - so 40% for higher rate taxpayers and 45% for additional rate taxpayers

He says that the approach could raise £12billion a year

Streeting said: “A member of my family is a cleaner in Lancashire. She pays a higher tax rate on her salary than her landlord pays for the growing value of the home she lives in. She slogs her guts out, he puts in far less effort, yet the state rewards him more than her. And we wonder why people are angry.

“The system is penalising work. It’s not fair and it’s bad for our economy. We need a wealth tax that works. A pound made from simply owning assets should not be taxed less than a pound made from a hard day's work. We can do it in a way that is pro-growth, pro-entrepreneur and pro-work.”

New blog: results from a deep research project on swing voter attitudes to KS, Kemi, Farage, immigration, NHS, net zero, benefits etc…
Want to know what swing voters think?
* They hate Westminster and both parties more than ever. 'It's like they hate us' is a common view.
*The cost of living and immigration dominate discussion much more than SW1 realises.
* Voters greatly UNDER-estimate the scale of immigration by ~5-30X, contrary to the conventional wisdom. They are already angry about the immigration farce of Tories and Labour before they are given the real numbers. So there is huge scope for *much greater hatred for the old parties* and much more support for *much tougher action*. Millions of LAB voters want much tougher action on immigration than Tories like Gawke and Barwell.
*The fact that the millions are mainly legal not illegal is further terrible news for both old parties and makes voters hate them more. Voters want MUCH tougher rules on 'can they support themselves financially', use of NHS, and blocking/deporting of violent criminals. Dinghy farce stopped.
* Voters are much more sceptical of Net Zero than 5 years ago. Showing them PRC emissions helps win the argument for a shift of policy they support.
*Voters are much more sceptical that more money will help the NHS than in decades - maybe since the start of the NHS. They want to hear new ideas but hear nothing from the old system.
*They HATE HATE HATE the utility companies - the hate is the same across CON/LAB/REF etc. This is an open goal for all political entrepreneurs.
*Voters are much more angry about benefit scams than MPs of any party. This issue seems less polarised than immigration.
*Voters were deeply hostile to Starmer BEFORE the Epstein debacle. There is zero prospect of this turning around given KS's skills and temperament. (The conventional wisdom from the likes of the Institute for Govt and FT was KS is ‘a serious person’ who will ‘bring stability’. The system is now disowning KS but he was their boy.)
*Voters have few views on Kemi because they ignore the Tories because ‘they’re just not relevant any more’. They know nothing she's said or done. 'Useless but irrelevant'.
* Voters want ‘a team and a plan’ from Farage but fear he won’t give them it and fear another bout of chaos making the cost of living nightmare even worse.
*The aesthetics of right wing videos tend to be bad for persuasion. Aesthetics polarise emotionally even when people agree on facts/arguments re immigration etc.
*A big chunk of the SW1 NPC class has radicalised so much on immigration they can’t see sense and will keep sabotaging themselves. E.g Sam Freedman says that it’s HARDER for Britain to stop the dinghies crossing the Channel than for America to control the 2,000 mile southern land border! 🤣🤡 The NPCs will generate any degree of nonsense necessary to avoid confronting reality on immigration. They have radicalised even more since 2016 when their delusions sank them in the referendum.
*This should not surprise you — this network decided they understand managing tech companies better than the guy who built SpaceX and spent 3 years saying X was about to collapse before self-cancelling to Bluesky where they've driven themselves mental.
*This is not a network that will update accurately in response to voters. Much of SW1 will continue radicalising Left and supporting the continuation of how SW1 works as the voters hate it, and them, more and more and more.
*Like the Democrats doing things which gave Trump the White House, this NPC network is making it much easier for Farage to become PM, even though that is the thing they want to avoid most.
*The left who think they should copy Mamdani will also self-sabotage.
*The elite fragmentation, radicalisation, OODA-loop-as-denial-of-service attack, and pathological politics will continue.
*Chances of financial crisis and blood on the streets go up every month.
*What LAB MPs should do is pick the person with sensible priorities who is the best suited to controlling a pathological Whitehall and getting things done. They shd optimise for good government, a No10 which is NOT Media Entertainment Service. They shd not think first of polls and 'communication' (which the old parties can't do). The only path to partly averting the debacle of Starmer is to orient towards the voters and *change Whitehall to deliver those priorities*. But this won't happen! Labour like Tories *prefer to lose* than to have rows at dinner parties about firing officials and improving the management. More likely is the Trolley>Truss show -- meltdown then double meltdown with Miliband/Rayner.
*Voters want 'a new team and a detailed plan' and a leader who can stick to core priorities particularly cost of living, immigration, and NHS. Neither LAB nor CON can do this. Farage says he will but will he? If Reform is essentially just NF + Tory dregs, then we're heading for either a Reform clownshow or a red-green-yellow-troon-loon-ScotNat-Hamas coalition clownshow... Or entrepreneurs create the thing voters want and take votes from everybody!
*Everybody Reform is asking for money from shd ask: 'what's your recruitment plan for actual serious people who represent the best of the country and have a record of building things?'
*If you want to get a sense of voters, rather than what the usually wrong ‘experts’ tell you about voters, check out the link in next tweet…

@Carl_Jenkins87 @tayz2017 Taken me an hour to get on twitter to find out why there’s no horses

[John @JDPriest]

Not a conservative voter, but hats off to a senior politician saying a public fuck you to these libtards.

Their entire strategy is based around labelling completely reasonable policies and people as ‘far-right’ or ‘racist’ because they know people are scared of those labels

[Crewkerne Man @CrewkerneMan]

Incredible clip: Kemi Badenoch takes apart a hard-left, pro-Palestine agitator, stands her ground, and makes clear she’ll defend British Jews without apology.

Serious steel on show here.

Don’t mess with Kemi 💪🇬🇧

@T_J_Carroll @corachsamason And presumably the top riders who are making proper money are skewing that average quite a lot.

Should probably remove top and bottom 20 to get a clearer picture
