More evidence of the close relationship between US and UK radical right wing.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he wonât be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper responseâthe only responseâis righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobodyânobodyâshould ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

Class, voter behaviour.
May 25
It is insulting to every working class family to suggest that itâs somehow part of our culture to be vile, nasty and sexist and that anyone appalled at the Reform candidate in Makerfieldâs comments is somekind of middle class pearl clutcher.

Voter behaviour: education, profession, age all at play in this result. Not sure of the exact methodology teacher tapp use to get the representative sample.

Nice bit of social media tit for tat. Reform vs Burnham.

Current Nowcast Model for Makerfield, following the news that Josh Simons MP is standing down in a bid to get Andy Burnham a seat in Parliament.

So if you're Starmer, whose authority is now undermined then there's a risk here worth taking...let Burnham stand, meanwhile Streeting and Raynor don't run thinking Burnham gets a seat...not impossible that Burnham doesn't win, he's done. Streeting and Raynor left looking weak.

Of course, Burnham could win a seat and then beat Starmer but then Starmer's current position is pretty dire.

This feels like a fairly big one. Well respected and has been pretty quiet so far. Her seat will be under pressure in a future election. bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1e2n923âŚ

Hard to disagree. Entirely nonpartisan analysis of the issues the UK faces regarding the record of the elected politicians who have tried to govern a polarised electorate.

I genuinely can't believe we're here again. What an utter failure of politics.

Politics and economics
May 12
Starmer and Reeves are not kidding when they say this political uncertainty causes economic damage. The only âresetâ being achieved at the moment is higher borrowing costs. Result? Weâre all worse off. So deeply depressing.

Sums up where a lot of people are at by the sound of things. Faith in politicians and their ability to change things feels very low. How would any party be able to carry a large enough portion of the electorate given how fractured they are?

Feels like the UK is headed for its sixth prime minister in seven years. This isn't just about flawed personalities, it's about a flawed country.

Turnout đą
We often comment on low turn out is in local elections, so it's great to see Calderdale currently reporting turn out of... checks figures... 126.94%.
Impressive truly.

This is an excellent example of how political social media posts about complex issues get boiled down to reductive sound bites. The reality of course is that this is where most people now get their news.

A very different take on Reform's night from most.
