Judas Maccabeus

That freedom/safety quote. Turns out it's more fun pseudonymous. 'Pah!' to being ruled by a pathogen.

Your regular reminder that Israel — the tiny NJ-size democracy in the Middle East surrounded by aggressive, genocidal fascists — has received more than twice as many UN condemnations than all other nations combined.

A great litmus test is what you think this fact implies.

The Bank of England sabotaged my premiership with a surprise £40bn move just before the mini-budget. Watch my conversation with Jeremy Kyle here: https://t.co/a8XAbwx00U

Getting annoyed with this 'shut everything down' mentality. We've been looking forward to some better weather. Make the most of it - do what you can. Run the trains.

@beit_Hmikdash Israel wants the Islamic regime in Iran to know that Israel knows that Iran knows that Israel knows that Iran knows that Israel knows that #mooshtaba is not alive.

This is the definitive moment of Starmer's political career: demanding everyone be locked up in our houses for months extra on the basis of epically wrong fantasy estimates about Covid, whilst massively condemning Johnson for wanting to set us free. https://t.co/98djSwO1DB

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Now that @Keir_Starmer has finally resigned, everyone is going to start saying nice things about him. About how he was honourable and did the right thing etc, with talk of his legacy and sense of duty to public service.

It will all be nonsense. He wasn't up to the job and he thinks he's been betrayed by his own party and his own voters.

And never forget that he despises most of the people in this country just for being patriots and wanting strong borders.

Good riddance.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Reform would not have won Makerfield even if every other party on the Right stood down.

Meanwhile, in Aberdeen, the Conservatives took half the votes despite Reform being on the ballot paper.
We united the city behind a genuine offer.

Had I done a deal, our emphatic victory in Aberdeen would have been diminished. People would have sneered that we only won because Reform stepped aside. A win 'helped' by Reform would have been no win at all.

That’s why I am not doing any deals. If you want the Right -Vote Conservative

@DraperOr @peterrhague I loathe that class of "investing" but I do have some sympathy solely on the basis the @George_Osborne tax treatment of landlords is outrageous kleptocracy.

[Judas Maccabeus @themaccabean]

@Alex_on_A14 @Telegraph You don't need anything to counter a baseless assertion, dimwit.

[Judas Maccabeus @themaccabean]

Hodges says it, so we can infer Starmer is not resigning.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Multiple government sources now confirming Keir Starmer is going to resign.

[Judas Maccabeus @themaccabean]

@Alex_on_A14 @Telegraph Bullshit.

@PolitlcsUK Well after this night who can blame Farage for giving up.

People want solutions not taglines

🚨 This is an extraordinary result.

A brilliant campaign by @ScotTories and the excellent @DLumsden_MSP.

A huge moment in the debate on our energy policy.

And a huge vindication for @KemiBadenoch, and a milestone of her leadership.

The Conservatives are winning again!

[Simon Clarke @SirSimonClarke]

Aberdeen will (rightly!) take the headlines. But a big night for the Conservatives in local government too - some statement victories.

[Crewkerne Man @CrewkerneMan]

Kemi Badenoch’s speech to the City was astonishing.

The Conservative leader is taking direct aim at the DEI bureaucracy, ESG box-ticking and anti-growth regulation choking British enterprise.

“If you eliminate risk, you eliminate reward.”

That is proper Conservatism.
