Nigel Farage Wins Clacton By-Election

A day before the Clacton by-election in the United Kingdom, Reform UK made it to the top of public opinion polls. Then, Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage followed that with a staggering win, placing him ahead of 628 MPs in terms of majority. He now has a majority larger than any other leader in the House of Commons.

The Conservatives made a huge strategic blunder by not putting up a candidate. Clacton has been a safe Tory seat in the past, but now Farage has turned it into a safe Reform seat, the very first safe Reform seat. Constituents have been reported as saying they'd vote for Farage even if he had three legs. 

Labour, Conservatives and LibDems are often called the Uniparty and there now appears to be evidence of them acting as such. They will be scared, that's for sure. Farage has turned the summer into talk about him. The Prime Minister, Andy Burnham is on his build a mandate find some legitimacy tour of the UK and yet few would know about it. Farage has upstaged the whole circus.

I have a question; in the last 250 years, what individual person has had such impact on the United Kingdom? Nigel Farage has re-shaped the foreign affairs and trade relations of a Great Power, a country with a Security Council veto and nuclear weapons. If you can think of someone who has had greater impact, let me know. However, caution is required when considering this question, as most names that crop up merely gained high status, they entrenched existing power structures, they did not effect any real change. 

What will the Uniparty do about Nigel Farage? 

Brexit Being Undone?

Keir Starmer is the most unpopular prime minister in British history. The question I have: was he appointed to undo Brexit?

Reform UK and Greens Tsunami

A tidal wave has swept over the UK, with Reform and the Greens being the big winners. Reform gained control of 14 councils and had more than 1,400 councillors elected. The Greens now control five councils and they won two mayoral races. Both, prior to this election, were practically nowhere. Now, they'll both be part of the news cycle at the national and local level. 

I hope this kind of change will lead to something positive, such as rebuilding and replacing what is a broken country. The roads are rubbish, everything is falling apart, get on and reinstate services, get the job done. Then, when Labour are swept from office at the national level, get on and take control of the whole country. 

This sort of change is what is required Downunder in Australia and New Zealand. Both countries are mired in old thinking, with the right and left of both countries beholden to corporate interests. Hopefully, people will see what's happening in the UK and react. There are firm links with 'back home' and this message can get through.

UK Labour Now Fourth

How long has Keir Starmer got left? Labour in the UK are now below the Greens in the latest public opinion poll.

Pollster: Find Out Now, sample size 2717, 5-6 Nov., 2025 (government bold)

Reform UK 33%

Greens 18%

Conservatives 16% (Opposition)

Labour 15% (Government)

The top two parties are relatively new, while the bottom two are the old-school established parties. That must be significant.

Major Political Shift UK

How long can UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, hang on? The Greens have now passed the UK Labour Party, and the Conservatives have risen to second behind Reform UK. The Government, Labour, are now in fourth place.

Charlie Kirk Shot

This is very disturbing news coming out of Utah. Conservative influencer, Charlie Kirk, has been shot and is believed dead. 

Reform UK Hit Big Poll Lead

In the most recent poll, Reform UK now have a 16 point lead over Labour.

Anytime now and UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer will declare war somewhere, in order to try and restore popularity. He could always stand down or call an election, of course, but either is unlikely to happen.

Reform UK Leading

Contrary to what many thought would happen, new political party, Reform UK has now become the most popular party in the UK. This comes off the back of major gains in recent local elections. Personally, I thought they'd implode due to infighting. But while there has been a lot of that, those polled seem to be ignoring it. Voters have had enough, they want a complete change.

The Conservatives are now in serious trouble, with the most recent poll having them in fourth place, behind the LibDems. Reform UK has now become a sort of de facto opposition, even though the Conservatives officially occupy that position.

Some more extreme pundits are saying a revolution is brewing.

UK General Election July 4th 2024

Here we go, can you feel it? The British establishment is about to get a rude awakening. The bad news, we'll likely have Keir Starmer as the British PM. Personally, I cannot stand the sound of his voice. But, the big move will come from the new party, Reform UK. Expect several seats for them, and finally an end to the WEF Uniparty of Labour and Labour Lite (Tories).

How the Tories Fell Apart

Matt Goodwin describes what happened and why. Lack of vision, and possibly, they don't even believe in Britain.

Can You Feel It?

There is something going on in Britain leading into their General Election in July. The polls don't seem to be able to pick it up, possibly because the pollsters are biased. 

We could be looking at a hung Parliament, with no one party having a majority. It looks as if voters will tactically vote; in electorates with large Muslim populations, those blocs will vote for candidates that are against the war in Gaza and who want the immediate cessation of hostilities. Then, in other electorates voters want to see an end to the Uniparty blob, that is the Labour and Tories together. More tactical voting again, this time for parties such as Reform UK.

All of this complexity may see big names unseated. Smaller parties may rise to become major players. 

Look out on election night, this could be a barn burner.

Nigel Farage Enters Race

UK General Election 2024: Nigel Farage has announced his candidacy for Clacton and accepted the leadership of Reform UK. Has this move put a dagger through the hearts of the Conservatives? After the last four years, they deserve it.

Iceberg Lettuce Outlasts Liz Truss

Liz Truss lasted 45 days. Has the UK become the new Italy? 

Of course, the new leader should be Kemi Badenoch, the most popular MP amongst party members. However, the 1922 Committee made the support of 100 MP's the threshold to get onto the ballot to be held online. This narrows down the field and limits the options given to members of the Conservative Party. 

There seems to be a concerted campaign by a minority of the Conservative MP's to insert Rishi Sunak into No.10 Downing Street. They're going to keep wrecking until the person put against him is rejected by party members (and thus Sunak wins by default). The threshold to get onto the ballot seems to be designed to keep Kemi Badenoch out of the running, even though she's the most popular amongst members. We are witnessing a WEF puppet being inserted, a coup by foreign capital to take control of the UK.

 

Jeremy Corbyn

Give credit where credit is due; UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is a good campaigner. He's better than any of the others by a country mile. Against Theresa May he nearly pulled off a victory from a long way back in the polls. Now against Boris Johnson he's in the same position, but this time what he's unveiled with two weeks until polling day, is that the Conservative government was negotiating a trade deal with the US with the NHS on the table. What great timing and it makes it hard for Johnson to recover.

Boris Johnson and Brexit

Just when you thought Brexit was back on track with Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister of Britain, everything goes pear shaped with game playing from Jeremy Corbyn's Labour team and the Remainer camp. Technically Corbyn is not a Remainer, but I think it's safe to label him as such now the gloves are off. We can see him for what he really is, selling out the British working class to London's chattering classes who are dead against Brexit.

I have no idea how this will pan out or who will win. We have a second English Civil War of sorts. On the one side the Leave team made up of Conservatives, along with the hard left of Britain siding with the working class districts which solidly voted Leave. Against them are the South-east of England, Remain camp soft-centred technocrats with their holiday homes on the Continent and a will to defy anyone who gets in the way of their cushy lifestyles. Whoever wins sets the course of Britain's future; either an independent future and world leading or a follower and supplicant to Brussels and the princes of Europe.

Brexit Under Boris Johnson

France are said to be making dire threats now. It's all bluff, France stands to lose a lot if they play clever over Brexit. If the physical movement of goods across the border with the UK slows down, the UK could simply respond by slowing down two things, the movement of people through airports, and the movement of capital through London. Both would cripple France.

And this talk of a need for a hard border with Ireland is nonsense. Have people not heard of licence plate readers by camera? That's all you set up, trucks need to be registered and are logged when crossing the border. If they depart from their route, or they appear heavier than indicated (ride height etc), then they could be pulled over by mobile patrols. It's really simple, basically a lot of panic merchants are stoking fear where there really need be none.

Just get on with Brexit. Enough talk already.

Brexit Deal

Is the British Prime Minister, Theresa May trying to derail the Brexit process by making everything so complicated that leaving the EU becomes impossible? That's what it's looking like. Just get on with it. But if Britain does not leave, it is quite possible the electoral fall-out will be a thing to behold. Watching with interest.

Boris Johnson, Winston Churchill

No-one has seen the parallel between Boris Johnson and Winston Churchill. Don't be so quick to write old Boris off just yet folks.

How did Churchill first become Prime Minister? Off the back of Labour votes in the House, that's how. Elements within his own party hated him. Sound like Boris does it? Well, in this Brexit vote, it was Labour heartland that voted to leave while the Tory middle classes wanted to remain in the EU. So poor old Boris can't run for leader of the Conservatives as they hate him. I'm not talking about the party caucus vote here, as with the Conservatives since their changes, the run-off is put to the whole membership, and Boris can't win that.

How he can become PM is either through a national emergency where Labour support for a uniting leader is needed OR Boris jumps ship and leads the Labour party. Unlikely I know, but Churchill jumped ship joining the Liberals from the Conservatives. In the world of politics strange things can happen.
