So Reform UK Ltd have made major gains in council elections and the bye-election. What do they stand for? Racism , leaving the ECJ and lower taxes. Racism is the main attraction despite 100000 foreign nurses workin in NHS – The UK is racist. Leaving the ECJ – I doubt if even 1% of Reform voters could identify its main function and why it exists. Then lower taxes – always a vote winner until the services disappear and NHS waiting times get longer. The tax issue is constantly under threat from the rich, who believe that they should be even richer whilst the poor get poorer! Bastards.

Andrea Jenkyns of 2 fingered fame has become Mayor of the inbreds! farage is busy counting donations to his private company. So come on Keir, get your act together and show us a brighter future – you have a majority that is unlikely to be repeated any time soon. Nationalise water and steel – stagger payments over the next Parliament – that should moves for privatisation. Make solar panels mandatory along with payments by housebuilders for stage, water, roads and the cost of new roads and schools, health clinics. This may add money to the cost of a house, but could be underwritten by all land for housing being priced at agricultural rates.

Well I am not sure! I have always wanted to vote Labour but have resorted to Lib Dems to keep Tories out at times. It seems like socialism is my natural home although Green Party is appealing, or would be if it stood a chance. I was even part of a Green Party campaign in Lewes back in 1980’s. Blair was OK but Iraq was a disaster then we had austerity and Tory mismanagement and corruption. Corbyn was brilliant in many areas but made too many diplomatic mistakes – I apologise for criticising a politican for speaking his mind, however Jeremy had the Labour Party in the right place, even if he did not possess the charisma necessary to carry his views forward against the combined wrath of ALL the major newspapers (yes I enclude my beloved Guardian here). Starmer is the very opposite to Corbyn – he got riled by Tories commenting that he worked for Corbyn, whilst he should have relished those comments. Starmer appears to revel in being a statesman whilst appearing to be berefit of ideas at home – the very opposite of JC. Ultimately it seemed that the 270000 jews in the UK were instrumental in bringing Corbyn down. Their covert influence is immense – and I am not being anti-semitic in saying this – The BBC and media generally are very sympathetic to Israel.

So here I am – waiting for Sir Keir Starmer (why did he accept a knighthood? (staus and power?)). The Green Party needs to find a voice.

What a disappointment they have turned out to be. Water companies continue to pollute our water and make profits and dividends and bonus’; small companies are penalised with NI increases; benefits are cut; child poverty increases; NHS reforms are so far just ideas?; Defence spending is up; dissent on the streets is increasingly being penalised and dragonised; DOGE style cuts are being made; Starmer seems to be giving in to Trump at every turn; tax relief for American Tech giants; Only Ed Miliband seems to be holding the line regarding the environment.

And Reform with the horrid slug in charge is dictating the narrative. I voted labour in the belief that it had a socialist heart rather than the cowardly blue one that Starmer epitomises. Fuck financial restraints – socialist investment in green infrastructure can boost the economy and offer hope to the young and disenfranchised. Stop pandering to the right wing wrinkles – of course unearned housing in value ncrease should be taxed if it means making housing more affordable for children. Come back Jeremy Corbyn! All is not forgiven but your country needs some radical imput to stop the rot from the right spreading!

Can it be true that Trump states that he should be elected the next Pope as he is the most qualified and cleverest person for the job!

Of course I made that up – but it is believable!

On the tariff front a Chinese airline has returned a new Boeing 737 Max – price tag $55million. With 20% of world market China is a major customer – and it has imposed a 125% tariff on American goods thus sneding the price rocketing. This could be good news for Airbus but I doubt they could increase production at the required rate? However Boeing has been struggling of late so this could mean a big problem, and the absolute reverse of Trump’s intentions to build American manufacturing.

We all hate sore losers, but also it is not British to be a bragging winner. JKR arranged a publicity stunt on her super-yacht with a cigar and glass of something. As stated previously I know nothing about the debate, but I do know that I dislke opulent wealth being flaunted. Who ever the minority, if legal, must be protected by the law – it is our civilised society. Talking of which muppet face is dominating the pages with his ridiculous grin. If the voters in the red wall seats cannot stomach voting for Starmers Labour, I woould suggest abstaining is preferable to a master of deception and the publicity. What is it about the thick public that they fall for the likes of Johnson, Trump and Farage? I suspect it is a mixture of racism, misogyny and ignorance. They can be classed with Jimmy Saville and Hitler – charisma and no morality, wealth chasing and egoistic.

There never seems to be a problem with funding a war. Sudan and South Sudan are blighted by a horrific war with sexual attacks on children as young as 1 year old. Who provides the weapons? Both these countries are poor and the weapons and planes used are in general not locally made – who are the profiteers? We know where Ukraine gets its weapons and Israel too – how can Israel afford the air raids on 40000 locations and the 70000 tonnes of bombs dropped? USA funding I suppose although it has the manufacturing capability to produce its own.

Whilst on the topic I notice that politicians have stopped stating that Isreal has a right to defend itself – it passed that point a long time ago – now the words are vengence and ethnic cleansing.

Like Liz Truss and Boris Johnson before him Trump has become a parody of himself. His recent avowal to limit exemptions time wise is laughable. He maintains that he is doing it because of unfair trade practises. I think it unfair that avocados do not growin hedgerows in the UK and the Mexicans are just exploiting an unfair climatic system; similarly if Chinese workers have the necessary skills and work longer for less sober. As a trade unionist I am not happy with the last statement but one cannot ignore the fact that one BILLION people have be lifted out of extreme poverty world wide (mainly Asia). The main beneficiaries of this economic revolution has been the citizens of the west, Americans in particular.

So is Trumps plan to exploit migrant labour? No he is rounding up migrants, legal and illegal, and often illegaly and deporting them. Hmmmm. Me thinks he has not thought this through! Whilst the USA may have the capacity to increase car production (burning petrol and diesel), it is unlikely that iPhones will be built in the USA any time soon, at least not at a price the American consumer can afford. Globalisation has had victims too!

Not only are the tariffs a tax on consumers but the exchange rate is emphasising the price increases, the dollar is now 1.31 to the £, This is at least 5% higher than BT. (before Trump).

So Madagascar will have to pay a 10% tariff on vanilla! How does this help an American citizen? WTFK’s! Is it malicious or ignorance?

And then Bezos is putting his girlfriend and mates into space. Whilst I agree that it should not be a male dominated thing, exploring space, but this is a publicity stunt for rich fuckers.
