Well the news is dominated by Israel, Germany, Brazil.
The Labour Government has at last/least shown some bals in banning arms exports to Israel in the face of U.S. opposition. Well done.
Germany has had state lections in the former East Germany swing to the right. No real surprise there – especially as the German economy is tanking a bit!
Brazil has banned Twitter! Well done but reports of rainforest clearances and murder of indigenous rights workers are of concern.
Meanwhile at home – the race to elect the leader of a party and lead it to oblivion continues. I would say hotting up, but as they are all guilty as charged, as was revealed at the last election there is nothing to report! The candidates firstly have to appeal to the remaining Conservative M.P.s which is difficult. The following table is interesting
| May 2023 PCPN = 3581 | SurvivedN = 951 | |
| Northern Research Group | 39 (11%) | 5 (5.3%) |
| Blue Collar Conservatism | 155 (43%) | 33 (35%) |
| Onward Levelling Up Taskforce | 37 (10%) | 11 (12%) |
| IEA Free Market Forum | 58 (16%) | 11 (12%) |
| Conservatives for Canzuk | 30 (8.4%) | 6 (6.3%) |

80% of MP’s are also guilty by association with the last lot of charlatons. The MP’sidentifying by being members of the above groups has diminished. Despite 83 ERG group members having lost their seats the candidates all seem to pander to the tunes of the ERG and other right wing nutters! There is a reason, they are taking a calculated risk that they will get through the MP’s vote and then be elected by the facist and racist party membership. This may seem rather harsh but the reality is that this is what they are deep down. They will pretend to be patriots and respect others, but they wish for a return to the past with a white, nominally Christian society where patriarchy rules.
