A few weeks ago, our UK media and Nigel Farage were clamouring to 'Get Starmer Out'.
Remember that? They were using it as their slogan for Matt GPT's disastrous by-election campaign. They claimed that it was a 'referendum on Starmer's leadership'.
It didn't quite go to plan. Starmer outplayed them all on that occasion.
Here's something that we need to remember though, when JD Vance came to the UK in July of 2025, he held a series of meetings in the Cotswolds with some British politicians.
Nigel Farage.
Robert Jenrick [Tory then, Reform now].
Danny Kruger [Tory then, Reform now].
James Orr [Tory then, Reform now].
Donald Trump is a destabilising force, but I don't really think he knows why. šµāš«
JD Vance is far more malign. He is wrapped, head-to-toe, in the Christian Nationalism/Project 2025 movement that Farage et al. are desperately trying to bring to our shores.
Reform will lose the Makerfield by-election, they picked a lame, three-legged donkey to run the Grand National. But they started this campaign the same as the last 'Get Starmer Out', before suddenly dropping it as the realisation dawned.
OK, this has gone a bit higgledy-piggledy, so what I'm trying to get to, is that any intervention by JD Vance in UK politics, is likely at the behest of Nigel Farage.
Farage is desperate, clawing at the floor while the daemon of scrutiny drags him backwards to the pitch dark basement of obscurity.
His only possible hope of survival is an early General Election, and to have that happen, he needs Starmer on the ropes.
Cue, JD Vance with a targetted intervention about:
migrants ā
elites ā
inciting anger ā
Henry Nowak ā
death of our civilization [sic] ā
A tirade worthy of only one man ⦠Nigel Farage.
The man who has sought to weaponise this tragedy and incited rioting only five days ago. The man who has gone against Henry's father's own wish that the tragedy should not be used as a weapon of hatred.
Nigel Farage is a dangerous force with the backing of, probably, the next President of the USA. Both are trying to destabilise and turn our societies into fascist visions of the far-right.
Don't let them.
Have a lovely weekend. š
