Now about those saying last night that Labour hadn't done so badly....and the Tories have done even worse.
The big problem the Tories, their brand is shot, while they aren't in power to change anything and massive lack of talent.
But the Tories can simply absorb themselves into Reform and at a later date change their name to Conservative. Back to winning ways before you know it.
They would have to kiss the ring of Nige...and of course we know he is such a great team player who loves to play nice / share with others. I think the team spirit would be about as good as Man United these days.
Big Nige is the Harry Maguire of politics. Played a blinder last night after being written off as past it.
One of Leicester best sales! We banked a £67 million profit on that one 🤣🤣🤣
This man could make the story of the greatest night of your life seem stilted, awkward and boring
In his first speech after yesterdays elections, Starmer could have chosen to appear at a school, a library or a care home. He could have spoken about the cost of living crisis.
Instead he chose to appear at a defence contractor and speak about Ukraine & military drones
They think Russia etc. is a weak spot for Reform? I think it could be, but it wasn't yesterday.
I think the Russia angle kicks in when it looks like Farage/Reform will be running foreign/defence policy rather than schools and potholes in Geordieland.
You need to brush up on your north east geography!
Feck, this is worse than my worse nightmare. The people of this country have completely and utterly lost the place. Our normal, mainstream parties have been destroyed. Both of them. Together.
This is what we get for politicians pretending that we are a "rich country." We are not. We are a debtor country. We have the "right" to a certain standard of living, whether we work, whether we actually produce or whether we simply take off the state. Do we fuck.
This sort of lies (because that is what they are) have put us in a dark space. Tytler, a Scot, said nearly 200 years ago: "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits, with the result that the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”
This is Reform in a nutshell but it is Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems too. All of them lie to us about what is needed, what we can actually afford, what we are actually entitled to and what we need to do to earn what we want.
Nine of the poorest ten regions in Northern Europe are now in the UK, with just one of the richest ten.

It bemuses me that they are so anti-Net Zero.
For an anti-immigration party it seems to me they're missing a trick not linking Net Zero emissions with Net Zero migration.
Personally I'm of the cake and eat it variety, I think technology will solve the problem and see no reason why we can't have massive amounts of construction and growth while achieving net zero and having population growth, but playing Devils Advocate it seems to me they could make an argument that not having population growth would cut the need for concrete etc which would make Net Zero easier.
But instead they just reject the environment altogether and just represent the worst of everything, on every issue.

No no, we launched on ep 3 - the other two launched at the same time. Standard UTuub thing - launch with some videos already in the bank.
Plus we needed to. learn how to do this. The pilot episode is beset by technical issues.

It’s a hugely important topic, but I remain unconvinced it will change a lot of votes. It should, but my guess is it won’t. Farage has also been savvier than Trump (it wouldn’t take much) in his messaging on Ukraine. I am sure he would make the wrong calls on things like European security, but a lot of voters won’t be processing the nuances of that.

Urgh.
What did you honestly expect from endless unfiltered mass immigration, often from cultures alien if not hostile to our values? That immigration which you constantly praise and desire on here?
You get: politiciams elected for their sectarian ethnic/religiius beliefs by those growing, hostile minorities
And you get politicians elected by the frightened majority host culture, that sees its nation's ancient identity disappearing, and want this to stop before its too late
You got exactly what you wished for. And now you whine. Twat
Left wing friend, very bright, kinda Blairite. Two kids, made his own fortune, massive engineer geek
We got on to politics and I admitted I'm now Reform and he pretended to do a little rant but we both knew his heart wasn't in it. He then went on a ten minute rant of his own, about the utter nediocrity of Starmer (with tones of genuinely bitter disappointment). He then said "fuck it, maybe Farage will be better, or maybe he will be Trump. I don't care any more, maybe it's worth the risk
He then became eloquently sad and angry about the school in South London opposite his house where he sees little girls in niqabs - aged 12 or so
This is the pond in which Reform is flourishing. A mixture of contempt for our present big parties, despair at their stupidity, a sense of "roll the dice" and a genuine disquiet about cultural changes

Didn't you vote for Keir Starmer and until last week supported unrestricted immigration from the EU ?
Now about those saying last night that Labour hadn't done so badly....and the Tories have done even worse.
The big problem the Tories, their brand is shot, while they aren't in power to change anything and massive lack of talent.
But the Tories can simply absorb themselves into Reform and at a later date change their name to Conservative. Back to winning ways before you know it.
They would have to kiss the ring of Nige...and of course we know he is such a great team player who loves to play nice / share with others. I think the team spirit would be about as good as Man United these days.
Big Nige is the Harry Maguire of politics. Played a blinder last night after being written off as past it.
One of Leicester best sales! We banked a £67 million profit on that one 🤣🤣🤣
We'll do another intro in the next video. Y'all know me. 25 years in Labour until I defected to the LibDems. The boy Nige was a long-standing LibDem, until he defected to Labour.

It's so dreary it's kinda beyond description. He has negative rizz. He is Cringe-o-matic Man. As long as he remains Labour leader and PM, then Farage is guaranteed to win in '28
I bet Nige can't believe his luck. He is facing a municipal car park manager as prime minister, Ed "bouncy castle" Davey of the Lib Dems, and a Twitterati sixth form girl as Tory LOTO. In this context he is a titan surrounded drunken midgets with sexual issues

The BBC totals are final now - it only adds up to 1,637 councillors but there were two two-seaters cancelled due to the death of a candidate (Mansfield North in Nottinghamshire and Higham Ferrers in North Northamptonshire).
The AfD is the most popular party in Germany, and by far the most representative of East Germany. Now the bureaucrats try to destroy it.
The West tore down the Berlin Wall together. And it has been rebuilt—not by the Soviets or the Russians, but by the German establishment.
Reading KL about the Nazi concentration camps. The idea that other ‘races’ were not equal to Germans was one of the cornerstones of Nazi ideology, and that led to the horrors I send myself to sleep with each night. I’ve not even reached Auschwitz yet and the war has only just got going. If you want to understand why people are worried about AfD it might be because they too regard non Germans as not equal to Germans.

The way the waves parted, allowing him to drift slightly backwards yet obtain a massive majority, was a stroke of fortune beyond his wildest dreams. In his mind he probably thinks the parliamentary arithmetic actually means he is popular, in the way he believes a transwoman is no longer a man because the rules changed, despite believing they were won when the rules said something different.

Oh give over.
As a non-racist atheist I find it quite possible to both bemoan sectarianism/religion and support migration simultaneously. Especially since most migrants are neither sectarian, nor religious fanatics. Nor is sectarianism/religion anything new or unique to migrants.
We were bombed in my town by sectarian/religious terrorists, killing children, when I was a child. Not due to immigration. I could bemoan that sectarianism too without taking a "lets deport/blame everyone Irish" attitude.
The Gazan Independents bunch are rotten apples, I don't disagree with that. And if it weren't for migration then we might not have them, I don't disagree with that either. But most migrants aren't that and there's rotten apples either way and always has been.
We should support the vast majority of law abiding migrant and native population, while opposing sectarians of any kind.

Well, if Trump, Vance, Loomer and Greene were deported to El Salvador America would be very considerably safer.

People like @Foxy and @BartholomewRoberts and @kinabalu and @OnlyLivingBoy and @Roger and the rest, who want more and more immigration, and think multiculturalism is a fantastic success, should count themselves lucky that, as things stand, the popular right opposition is a relatively humane and domesticated beast like Reform
Nigel Farage is not gonna start shooting boat-people, he's not gonna cancel elections, he won't bring back the noose. Indeed he is criticised by many on the alt.right for being too soft
There is no law to say Britain is magically immune from much nastier political forces, lile the AfD in Germany
We should pray that if and when Farage reaches power and succeeds, the boil is lanced, and British democracy endures. Because the alternative will not be a cosy return to the old politics, it will be something darker

Not great for Labour, but didn’t have much to lose. A strong personal vote saw them hold my division.

If you don't want the road investment, I'll happily take it. There's plenty that would improve our infrastructure by building stuff around here.
James Johnson @jamesjohnson252 · 4h 1⃣ The status quo continues: Reform and the Tories continue to poll (in Westminster voting intention) c.25%. Because there are few genuine 3-way marginals due to demographics, Labour benefits - winning elections on low vote shares. I think this is still the most likely outcome.
James Johnson @jamesjohnson252 · 4h 2⃣ The (optimistic) Tory recovery scenario: a new leader - probably Rob Jenrick - through a combination of political nous and sheer luck, squeezes Reform down to c.15% in the polls. A Farage who does not want to be an MP for a decade probably takes the deal.
James Johnson @jamesjohnson252 · 4h That is the best bet the Tories have of being *the* alternative to Labour. It is, though, the least likely path and LOTS of 'if'.
One thing I am certain of: going down a soft-moderate Tory path (e.g. Cleverly) would be a nothingburger offer - & tantamount to electoral suicide.
This man could make the story of the greatest night of your life seem stilted, awkward and boring
In his first speech after yesterdays elections, Starmer could have chosen to appear at a school, a library or a care home. He could have spoken about the cost of living crisis.
Instead he chose to appear at a defence contractor and speak about Ukraine & military drones
Sweet Jesus wanking Christ, he is so bad at this. That is one of the dreariest speeches I have ever heard from anyone in human history, ever
It's so dreary it's kinda beyond description. He has negative rizz. He is Cringe-o-matic Man. As long as he remains Labour leader and PM, then Farage is guaranteed to win in '28
I bet Nige can't believe his luck. He is facing a municipal car park manager as prime minister, Ed "bouncy castle" Davey of the Lib Dems, and a Twitterati sixth form girl as Tory LOTO. In this context he is a titan surrounded drunken midgets with sexual issues
He has a really odd way of speaking...
"last week..i was...was on the carrier...the strike carrier...that is...taking..you know..the best part of 2000 people...actually...from our armed forces...on an 8 month...really important....mission."
Rather than..."Last week I visited the strike carrier that is going on a long term mission"
To be frank, he looks like a man entirely out of his depth, and doing the wrong job - and he knows it
If he spoke like that in court, I would be struggling to follow what the hell he was on about.
It reminds me a tiny bit of Trump in that you get all this sidetracked unnecessary detail. Which interestingly with Trump in his younger days he didn't talk like that at all, he was still the braggadocios New Yorker, but much more focused on the message.
Why did Linda McMahon get approved as Trumps education Secretary with this hanging over her. These are just additional to allegation that predate Nov 24
BBC must be bloody sure Nigel isn't going to be next PM because bumping his massive breakthrough moment for an "exclusive" with Prince Harry isn't going to go well at all in Reform world I suspect.
The AfD is the most popular party in Germany, and by far the most representative of East Germany. Now the bureaucrats try to destroy it.
The West tore down the Berlin Wall together. And it has been rebuilt—not by the Soviets or the Russians, but by the German establishment.
Reading KL about the Nazi concentration camps. The idea that other ‘races’ were not equal to Germans was one of the cornerstones of Nazi ideology, and that led to the horrors I send myself to sleep with each night. I’ve not even reached Auschwitz yet and the war has only just got going. If you want to understand why people are worried about AfD it might be because they too regard non Germans as not equal to Germans.
Simply regarding non-Germans as non-German is the thought crime they are accused of.
"In 2017, ten AfD Bundestag members were found to have participated in a closed Facebook group named "the Patriots" in which, among other things, antisemitic, racist, pro-Nazi and conspiratorial posts were widespread. One meme posted therein, which showed Holocaust victim Anne Frank's face edited on a pizza box labelled "The Oven-fresh", gained particular media attention."
Good day for RefUK, especially in the orbit of the Black Country.
Cracking day for the LibDems, especially in the Shrewsbury and North Shropshire divisions.
Not great for Labour, but didn’t have much to lose. A strong personal vote saw them hold my division.
Extinction level event for the Tories who mainly deserved it. But very happy to see Dan Thomas hold onto the Much Wenlock division as he has been a very effective and helpful councillor.
Election have consequences and the first is that the Shrewsbury Northern Relief Road is likely dead and buried. Delighted about that.

Donald Trump has announced that the US is to strip mention of Europe out of its annual celebration of victory in the Second World War. The president said that the May 8 Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) will become “Victory Day for World War Two”.
Wonder where he got that idea......
.Russia also uses Victory Day to celebrate the end of the war.
Trump's forgotten America was still fighting Japan until August.
Did you see the interview the other day where Trump keeps insisting that this guy had MS13 tattooed on his knuckles? It's worth watching the exchange - Trump has quite clearly lost whatever bit of plot he once had.

We should pray that if and when Farage reaches power and succeeds, the boil is lanced, and British democracy endures. Because the alternative will not be a cosy return to the old politics, it will be something darker
You may be right. But the Brits rejected Oswald Moseley in 1930s. Maybe we will again.

It's an exclusive and potentially world news as our royals are such celebs out there but hold it for just 24 hours and run with Reform's big day.
They will pay a very very heavy price for this one day I fear.
There was talk from the likes of SO on Farage ability as a politician. It is really interesting how he handles this interview, where the interviewer is very hostile and tries to frame everything in a particular manner e,g, your anti migrant racist who women hate, and he is very good as starting by rejecting their framing.

Simply regarding non-Germans as non-German is the thought crime they are accused of.
Of course @williamglenn is lying again - he's an AfD supporter. Anyone can regard anyone as not German enough for their tastes, if that's what turns them on. What is unconstitutional is to work to undermine democracy. For example, by saying that citizens who don't pass your German purity test shouldn't have any rights.
But it is a difficult problem - what does a democracy do when a political party seeks to overthrow democracy by getting elected? The German constitution was written with this in mind, but I don't think they've found a solution.
Trump tried to reverse the previous election and the Republican Party seems to be on board with all kinds of anti-democratic unconstitutional power grabs, but democracy hasn't died in the US, though it's under threat.

Re Cornwall, I am VERY happy to report that one of my best friends XXXX XX XXXXXXX - the ex mayor of Truro! - has been retuned once again (3rd time?) as an indy county councillor in Cornwall. He's very popular in his ward, has a massively loyal vote, and he does this by working extremely hard and knowing everyone everywhere, and he charms them
I've been canvassing with hin, they invite him in for tea, "ah come in my lover". It's lovely to see
He'd be a great MP for his chunk of Cornwall, he could be a new David Penhaligon, trouble is he's an indy so doesn't have the party system/infra to back him
Reform have otherwise swept the board in Conwall, destroyed the Tories and Labour. I now expect Reform to win most Cornwall seats in the next GE, with maybe one LD

In a democracy, the make-up of the electorate is a constitutional question. If the state can modify the electorate by importing millions of people and the people whose votes (i.e. political rights) are being diluted are denied any legitimate means of objecting, then you don't have a democratic regime but something else.

You are being unfair to Bart there. Like me he might believe in free movement but that does not mean he necessarily thinks multiculturalism is a success or ever could be.
Norway has one of the highest immigrant rates for its population of any country in Europe and they make a success of it precisely becuase they don't hold with multiculturalism. If you want to stay and settle in Norway then you become Norwegian. You embrace the language and the culture. It is a system that works and is a very long way from the multiculturalist approach we see in Britain or other parts of Europe. .

The Norwegion approach is impossible here because learning the Norwegian language necessarily implies a serious commitment to Norway and its culture, whereas learning the English language is entirely detached from any commitment to Britain.

For an anti-immigration party it seems to me they're missing a trick not linking Net Zero emissions with Net Zero migration.
Personally I'm of the cake and eat it variety, I think technology will solve the problem and see no reason why we can't have massive amounts of construction and growth while achieving net zero and having population growth, but playing Devils Advocate it seems to me they could make an argument that not having population growth would cut the need for concrete etc which would make Net Zero easier.
But instead they just reject the environment altogether and just represent the worst of everything, on every issue.
Plus we needed to. learn how to do this. The pilot episode is beset by technical issues.

As a non-racist atheist I find it quite possible to both bemoan sectarianism/religion and support migration simultaneously. Especially since most migrants are neither sectarian, nor religious fanatics. Nor is sectarianism/religion anything new or unique to migrants.
We were bombed in my town by sectarian/religious terrorists, killing children, when I was a child. Not due to immigration. I could bemoan that sectarianism too without taking a "lets deport/blame everyone Irish" attitude.
The Gazan Independents bunch are rotten apples, I don't disagree with that. And if it weren't for migration then we might not have them, I don't disagree with that either. But most migrants aren't that and there's rotten apples either way and always has been.
We should support the vast majority of law abiding migrant and native population, while opposing sectarians of any kind.

That is the best bet the Tories have of being *the* alternative to Labour. It is, though, the least likely path and LOTS of 'if'.

If you want to stay and settle in Norway then you become Norwegian. You embrace the language and the culture. It is a system that works and is a very long way from the multiculturalist approach we see in Britain or other parts of Europe. .
