How can any half sensible party fail against the CIRCUS that is the LibLabCon? Reform are winning at the polls just by being vaguely conservative and waffling - but they are hopeless on detail and STILL don't have anything resembling a shadow cabinet of good spokesmen and women.

Sorry to hear that Mrs B. I trust your opinions and hope Reform can take the needed actions to form a governing party.

On a lighter note - it seems the international congealing of conservatives you mentioned some time ago is happening, it gives me some encouragement.

Stay well yourself.

Hope the polls are right about Reform. I sunk into despair last week at what had happened. Rupert was formidable in the H of C but some of the language on his X page was too far for me. What the hell was he doing pressingbthe nuclear button. He's gone down in.my estimation. Formidable but his language and possibly temperament is not suitable for public office in the UK....this isn't the MAGA cultist country he perhaps dreams of.

Let's hope things settle down and he continues to be above his station that people get sick of hearing him. Onwards and upwards. See you in Birmingham in a couple of weeks.

MAGA cultist country Elizabeth? I think you know very little about the mostly working class citizens of the US who are conservative and quite rational in their life styles.

I'm in Massachusetts a very left justified state and the state's policies are green, financially dangerous, sanctuary cities, LGBTQ... sanctuary with a populace that mostly hates Pres Trump: Despite his securing our southern border - bringing in multi-billions of investment money to our country-having another shot at bringing a relative peace to the mid-East and a likely ceasefire to the Ukraine.

Not to mention: DOGE uncovering multi-millions in waste, fraud and abuse in our government.

And for all this he is hated?!

Our very left justified media and press here have induced hatred for Trump and all his voters without acknowledging any of the positives. One sided, don't you think?

We have video collages synchronized, showing multiple news programs saying the identical talking points as if reading off a common sheet.

There's so much more but I'll stop here. If you want links of lifelong Democratic voters now supporting Trump I can provide them, some who were high u in the Dem Party Machine.

Stay well in troubled England.

Nothing new here it is what we expected from Liebour and its made up policies were never in their manifesto, the country is being invaded and Nero is fiddling. Chaotic. Green new energy, what a joke. Authorised theft by politicians.
