Borrowed from Pete's Substack:- Pete North from Northern Variant &lt;petenorth@substack.com&gt;&nbsp; In the light of the struggle to see Reform getting its act properly together, several of the more thoughtful commentators are getting used to the idea that a Conservative Party revival may yet be possible, given the widespread acceptance that Labour has cynically lied its socks off without a trace of shame ...and that another Labour government could scarcely be any worse.&nbsp;&nbsp; The reappearance of Rishi Sunak in the HoC - after a long absence earlier today (26JUN25) may have set a few hares off prematurely, but we shall see. He spoke briefly, and seems to have worn rather better than Starmer in the past 12 months. <figure id="figure-7vmxhqe3ymmcdlqfdx" class=""><img id="7vmxhqe3ymmcdlqfdx" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0ewiMLD69WUDIPs6FQNzAOKdtQqdwvuTX962ZazilHtpvjNC1xcaT2YtO13FEhpb.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0ewiMLD69WUDIPs6FQNzAOKdtQqdwvuTX962ZazilHtpvjNC1xcaT2YtO13FEhpb.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Nobody reads manifestos and nobody cares about policy. That’s what people tell me. Politics is all about vibes, they say. To say such things, though, is to miss the point. Confidence is a vibe, and confidence is not something that can be faked. Bravado and bluster is not the same thing.&nbsp;<h3>Real confidence comes from knowing what you’re doing and why.</h3>I’ve known this in my professional career. I’ve never been more powerful in a role than when I know what is required, have a firm idea how to do it, and the desire to do it well. You can try to fake it, but eventually you get found out. It only takes a little bit of expert scrutiny to expose you as a fraud.&nbsp;We know this to be true of politics too. The politicians you sit up and take notice of are the ones who’ve put the work in and mastered their brief. I may not like Wes Streeting all that much, but I can respect he is a man who takes his job seriously&nbsp; (...and we have not forgotten Streeting of Shame and his pledge to the <a data-mce-href="https://wote.uk/blog/wes-streeting---man-of-dishonour" href="https://wote.uk/blog/wes-streeting---man-of-dishonour" title="Streeting of Shame" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WASPI women </a>)This is literally the only reason anyone is paying attention to Robert Jenrick. He’s not dazzlingly charismatic. He’s not a showman. He’s just someone who has a bit of personal direction, and as such, is getting results.&nbsp;He hasn’t done this alone, though. His platform has some serious people behind it, and what gives him the edge is the policy research behind him, and the fact he’s bothered to learn it. It gives him his own authority.&nbsp;In recent weeks we’ve seen similar energy from Kemi Badenoch. She’s behind the curve, but she is showing signs of getting up to speed. She has put her best people to work to figure out a resolution to the ECHR question. It’s given her a new-found confidence. This is essential. A party cannot have confidence if its leader doesn’t.The lesson, then, is not that policy is for public consumption. It’s part of it, for sure, but it’s so that you yourself know what you are doing and why. It means on any given issue of the day, you can say what is really going wrong, and what needs to be fixed. That’s what gives you the authentic “vibe” of authority.&nbsp;Contrast this with Reform, which has yet to produce a single subject expert, even on the subject of immigration. On the issue of migrant dinghies, the policy approach varies according to which Reform MP you speak to. The consequence of this long-standing incoherence is that nobody serious thinks Reform is up to the job. Reform is polling well as a protest party, but very few people see it as a viable prospective government. We’re just at a point where exasperation and cynicism run so deep that people don’t believe they could be worse than the rest.&nbsp;On that basis, this is the Tory party’s last window of opportunity. We can safely say that Reform will not commit to serious policy. Populist parties never do. They prefer the agility that comes from keeping it vague. Populism is to policy as oil is to water. You see the occasional Spectator article claiming that insiders are working on policy for the party, but every time Reform makes an announcement, we are served up more of the same simplistic populist slop. I’m sure they think they are working on policy, but I don’t think they know what policy actually is.&nbsp;The opportunity for the Tories, then, is to simply outclass them. This is entirely possible. There are some hardworking, credible conservative MPs, not least Nick Timothy and Chris Philp.&nbsp; Chris Philp is pressing on the Deliveroo/Just Eat dimension to illegal immigration. Something this blog has highlighted in some depth. Knowledge driven campaigning gets results. Contrast that with Reform MPs. Goodness knows what they actually do with their time.Much of this will turn on what Kemi Badenoch turns up with in September. It will be politically difficult for her if she concludes that leaving the ECHR is more trouble that it’s worth. The tabloids and the Telegraph have distilled our deportation woes down to the ECHR when in fact the problem lies with British judges and British law.&nbsp;In that eventuality she will have her work cut out, but it is an arguable case. No government wants the distraction of multilateral talks over Northern Ireland in order to deal with dinghies in Dover, especially if there’s the chance it won’t even work. Whatever Badenoch concludes is less important than showing that she knows what she is doing.&nbsp;My central assertion is that credibility matters. If you can turn the heads of opinion influencers, and make people give you a second look, you are in with a chance. There are many reasons why the Tories are not seen as credible, not least their woeful record in office, and the suspicion that the party is overrun with wet blanket liberals, but if a leader can slam a manifesto on the table with real confidence and say “This is what we’re doing” they can break with the past and put their troublemakers on notice. They will fall into line if their jobs depend on it. None of them wants to have to get a real job.Some of you ask why I’m even slightly invested in this. Why even care about the fate of the Tory party? Why not let it die? Those are good questions. I think it’s because I’ve reluctantly concluded the obvious. There is no new force in politics on the horizon. There is no Ukip revival. If a Rupert Lowe party pops up it will flop, and any nationalist party will be consumed by its antisemitism.&nbsp;As such, right-leaning voters have two choices. Either to attempt a Tory resurrection, or back a slopulist party that wouldn’t have the first idea how to fix anything, and would create as many problems as it solves (if any).&nbsp;Were it that Reform was remotely serious, nobody would be giving the Tories a second look, least of all me, but ultimately you have to work with what you’ve got. There is the suggestion that the party would fare well under new leadership. I understand that. But regardless, Kemi Badenoch is the leader for now, like it or lump it.&nbsp;The polls are not looking good for the Tories. While polls this far out from an election aren’t much of a useful predictor, Badenoch surely realises that, for members, they are an indicator of her performance. She does not have long to get results. She is replaceable, and for once, there is an obvious replacement. If then, she is going to turn things around, she has to build self-confidence, confidence in her abilities, and confidence in her party. Policy is key to that.&nbsp;Policy ultimately lets us know whether they’re serious or not. It lets us know whether they’ve understood the issues. It lets us know if they have listened. It lets us know if they have a clue. As we edge closer to an election fair-minded voters will contrast the showbiz glam of Reform with the Tory party. If, in the Tories, they see quiet competence, strong local candidates, and a newfound confidence in their abilities, they will save themselves from oblivion.&nbsp;By neglecting policy, Reform have left the goals wide open for a Tory comeback. Where Reform offers gimmicks and slogans, Badenoch can offer solutions. In some respects, it has never been easier for the Tories to come back from the brink. The right is primarily concerned with immigration and are desperate for coherent immigration policies. Bizarrely, Reform has moderated its line on immigration, leaving hardliners wondering what the point of it is. Badenoch can easily position her party to the right of Reform and she doesn’t even have to go overboard to do it.&nbsp;What I’ve found in my study of immigration issues is that much can be repaired with careful, targeted interventions, not least fixing Indefinite Leave to Remain, but also with proper enforcement of existing laws, not least HMO inspections. Drastic gestures like leaving the ECHR are less important than reforming the judiciary and overhauling the asylum system. Voluntary remigration policies can be implemented just by enhancing and promoting existing schemes.&nbsp;The biggest results will come through the cumulative effect of a comprehensive policy programme, consisting of largely uncontroversial and sensible measures that only open borders lunatics would oppose. This will be an exercise in policy engineering, not vacuous populist slogans. If Badenoch is the engineer she claims to be, she shouldn’t find this difficult.&nbsp;Interesting times... PN

How Badenoch can save her party from extinction

Terry Christian has long been lost to reason and common sense, nicely summarised by this X post: "Socialism is normally bailing out capitalism ie The banks , the privatised water and train companies m fossil fuel companies, car companies etc . Where would capitalism be without socialism to bail it out" &nbsp; So I replied ... "The bail outs you mention are mostly the results of failed tribal socialist "dogma".&nbsp; Socialism always runs out of other people's money to spend - which is extracted by ever more authoritarian and fascist methods as the golden geese of capitalism are starved and plucked - using confiscation masquerading and taxation.&nbsp; Hmmm... maybe we need a new term : "Fascialism" ..? And the poster boy image can be "Robbing Hood" in an HMRC cap. But someone got there first, of course... &nbsp; Fascialism, as described by Thomas DiLorenzo, is a critique of the U.S. economic system as a dangerous blend of fascist state control and socialist redistribution. It highlights real trends—government regulation, bailouts, and welfare programs—but frames them in provocative terms that draw on historical fascism and socialism. "While the concept resonates with libertarian concerns about state overreach, it risks oversimplifying a complex mixed economy and exaggerating parallels to authoritarian regimes. To fully understand Fascialism, one must critically assess both its insights and its rhetorical flourishes, considering alternative explanations for U.S. economic policies." Now please do that again...&nbsp; Please rerun the piece on Fascialism in a populist style and don't get so far up yourself with phrases like "concept resonates with libertarian concerns about state overreach" - simpler, eh? GROK&gt; Fair enough! I got carried away with the fancy stuff. Let’s strip it down to a rougher, more straightforward take on Fascialism based on Terry Christian’s post and your reply, keeping it simple and populist. &nbsp; What’s Fascialism All About? Fascialism is the mess we’re in when socialism and fascism team up to run the show. Picture this: the government bails out big banks, car companies, and privatized water and train outfits—stuff capitalism can’t handle on its own—while slapping heavy taxes on everyone to pay for it. Terry Christian’s spot on—capitalism leans on socialism to survive its screw-ups. But here’s the kicker: when the money runs dry (and it always does under socialist schemes), the state turns bossy, grabbing more cash through harsh taxes and rules, choking the life out of businesses that used to thrive. It’s not just help—it’s control. The government meddles in everything, from car bailouts to healthcare, acting like it owns the place, while pretending to care about the little guy with welfare handouts. This mix leaves us with a bloated bureaucracy, starving businesses, and folks fed up with being nickel-and-dimed. It’s a system that’s half about saving failing companies and half about squeezing the public dry—sound familiar? That’s Fascialism in a nutshell: a greedy grab for power dressed up as a rescue plan. &nbsp; How’s that? No highbrow jargon, just a plain-talking rundown. Let me know if you want it tweaked more! me: that's it - by jove I think you've got it! :-) GROK&gt; Glad to hear it! By jove, we’ve cracked it! &nbsp; Anything else you want to throw my way?

Introducing Fascialism: Grok and I crack a definition

Has Rupert Lowe (elected as a Reform MP, now independent) got it all going on?&nbsp; Rupert uses this recent Spectator interview to set out his stall, and a pretty compelling pitch it is.&nbsp; &nbsp;He espouses most of the commonsense foundations we set out for WOTE when we first pondered a plan to fix broken British politics - MPs with real world experience, selection by merit alone. And frankly it won't take much more than the application of such commonsense to fix all the basics. We will borrow this point from Rupert for the WOTE mantra: "Britain is being run by unelected Permanent Secretaries who move cabinet members on just as they’re beginning to work out what’s going on in the Civil Service." (Shades of Dominic Cummings' curtailed mission to reform the Blob - but&nbsp; - remember who he was brought down by the Westminster blob for threatening them. And he would get rid of spurious postal voting - and deny Labour the bloc vote.<figure id="figure-efosee2e1bmbtim004"><iframe id="efosee2e1bmbtim004" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/553E98HR-MU" class="w-full bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=553E98HR-MU" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/553E98HR-MU" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure>This is REALLY important. If you do nothing else today, watch this...&nbsp; @RupertLowe10He talks absolute sense about easing the useless remnants out of the Tory party - which sadly is more than half the remaining MPs. But It must be time to start a drive to get him on the case because after all we have seen, Starmer's clown show is going to come crashing down soon; and the longer we wait to send the tumbrils into Downing Street, the more harm will be done - and the job will be more costly and challenging. What's not to like? "I don't care about quotas - select on ability"Someone with chutzpah and presence has to rebuild the Conservative Party while there is still a remnant of an organisation to build on.&nbsp;

Rupert sets out his stall: Cometh the man...?

Voting in the Polling Station: Close-up of a man's hand putting his ballot into the ballot box, with plenty of copy space

Pete North nails it. The early promise of Reform is in great danger of being fumbled by less than competent management.&nbsp; The Labour Party has left an open goal, but all the right wing strikers are on the bench without a seasoned manager, or a plan to convert the Starmergddon Shambles into a solid Reform political mission.It is a depressingly accurate assessment. While Labour is busy suicide bombing our culture and economy with a litany of ideology and incompetence, pushed along by ever more outrageous lies, the polls are showing that the public is eager for something credible to replace Starmer and stop the rot. Remember Starmer's so-called landslide is thanks to just 20% of the electorate and a flawed electoral system that is in desperate need of reform. The lack of a coherent opposition able to exploit the opportunity is another indictment of the failure of UK education to nurture a "thinking citizens" political class. The woeful quality of public intelligence represented by game show contestants is just beyond belief. Today's ITV The Chase marked a particularly low point when a serving Air Vice Marshal (really!) failed to get past round one.&nbsp;<h3>Over to you Pete...</h3>The departure of Zia Yusuf is probably a bit of a nothing-burger as far as the polls go. If anything, it makes the party slightly more appealing, but it lends weight to the view that Reform is never going to overcome its inherent dysfunctionality. What little talent the party does attract it cannot retain. The party basically never stopped being Ukip. Arrogant, disorganised, paranoid, tribal and a little bit thick.&nbsp; As such, it's never going to be more than it is. It will simply stumble from one crisis to the next, learning nothing at as it goes. One might even say this latest episode is hardly newsworthy. It's just what happens in that party. Yusuf, who should never have been appointed in the first place, was always destined to leave. It was either going to be a shove from Farage or a weary resignation. Either way, it doesn't matter at all. His replacement will be as bad or worse. It may as well be Arron Banks - obnoxious, politically talentless and too arrogant to understand his own limitations. He'd be the perfect fit.&nbsp; I think, though, today was something of a watershed. A pattern is now firmly established. We've all got their number. I was outspoken this time last year but now I see most pundits saying more or less the same thing: Reform is a policy vacuum, and a party that doesn't really stand for anything. A personality cult, and one with no discernible point. It can win seats by way of broad disaffection, but to no useful purpose. No veteran of British politics sees Reform as an answer to anything. You might say that Reform couldn't possibly be worse than the incumbents, but that's a conceit. They could be worse and very probably will be worse through lack of preparation, inexperience and naivety. Rupert Lowe is absolutely right. Reform shouldn't be allowed anywhere near power. It would be like handing a loaded revolve with a light trigger to a hyperactive four year old.&nbsp; That said, I now think whatever chance of forming a government Reform might've had has already evaporated. Mid-term polls are an illusion. Many who might have had a punt on Reform are now just as likely to stay at home, probably gifting Labour a second term, albeit it with a smaller majority. Reform might scratch two dozen seats where they came in second last time around, but by then Farage will be looking to offload Reform to whoever will take it. A merger with the rump Tory party now seems the most plausible end to this experiment because Farage simply cannot close the deal with the electorate - and without Farage (the party's last remaining asset) there's nothing much going for it. The party is incapable of nurturing talent from within, and we will not see a viable alternative to Farage. As to where that leaves the right, it's all contingent on whether Jenrick can pull of a coup without the wets sabotaging him. Many of us have taken it for granted that Jenrick will be Badenoch's replacement, but it's telling that Badenoch won't explicitly commit to leaving the ECHR. She knows her party won't let her. Jenrick would be a leader without a party while Reform would be a party without a leader (to speak of). The next course of action (a merger) seems entirely logical, but depressingly, the kind of dross on the Reform back benches could&nbsp; be every bit as bad as your average Tory wet. This whole enterprise is a dead end.&nbsp; That then leaves many grasping for any kind of credible alternative, but the raw material doesn't exist anywhere on the right. I do like Rupert Lowe. His heart is in the right place, but he is naive, and ultimately he is cut from the same cloth as Reform. None of them ever lost their Ukippy tinge. They couldn't come up with a serious policy platform between them because they simply do not have the mental architecture for it. As such, we are stuck with whatever mediocrity we can salvage. And that's not enough.&nbsp; I've been saying for a long time now that we're going nowhere until there's an intellectual renaissance on the right, but there are no obvious thinkers waiting in the wings. Jenrick is as good as it gets but his party is a write-off. We're going to be treading water for the foreseeable future. We might even be better off putting up with Labour for as long as it takes for the right to get its act together. Better that than to squander the last opportunity to make real and lasting change. Handing power to another set of dysfunctional wastrels will kill off any hope of truning things around.

And now Reform needs reform....

<h2>Everything is coming apart - and getting worse. </h2><h3>It is time for charges of criminal negligence to be brought...</h3>Politics is more broken every time a mainstream politician opens their mouth.

They have a demonstrable duty and responsibility to the nation and the 80% of the electorate that did not vote for Starmer's regime, to gather and pass a vote of no confidence - and force the government's resignation so we can have an honest election. The basis of suitable electoral reform has been discussed at length by WOTE and could be bashed into shape quite quickly when needed.&nbsp;It was a good idea last December when first proposed, and it has become increasingly urgent. The evidence of criminal negligence piles up whenever a minister's mouth opens. I shall be developing this theme, and welcome any input at <a href="https://x.com/WoteUk" data-mce-href="https://x.com/WoteUk">https://x.com/WoteUk</a> Good old Grok has had a look and already proposed a sharpened version of this piece: A Call for Accountability and Electoral Reform in the UKThe UK is unraveling, and the current government’s actions—or lack thereof—are accelerating the decline. It’s time to hold MPs accountable for what WOTE calls criminal negligence and demand a fairer, more representative electoral system to restore trust in our democracy.The contempt for Keir Starmer’s leadership is palpable. Scroll through posts on his X account (@Keir_Starmer), and you’ll see a barrage of criticism within moments of every statement. As Andrew Neil argued in his Daily Mail piece, Starmer’s plummeting popularity reflects a broader crisis of confidence in our political system. A leader and cabinet so widely derided weaken the nation’s standing, yet they double down with policies that alienate the public, from winter fuel allowance cuts to divisive welfare reforms. So, what’s the solution? WOTE (wote.uk) proposes a bold path forward: a parliamentary vote of no confidence to oust the current government, followed by an election under a reformed electoral system. MPs have a unique privilege and duty to act in the nation’s interest. WOTE argues that their failure to challenge a government elected by just 20% of the electorate constitutes criminal negligence—a neglect of their responsibility to the 80% who didn’t vote for Labour’s agenda. This isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a call for legal accountability based on MPs’ failure to use their parliamentary power to stop harmful policies.&nbsp; &nbsp; WOTE’s vision for electoral reform, outlined on their website, emphasizes proportional representation (PR) to ensure votes reflect seats, addressing the democratic deficit where millions feel their voices are ignored. In 2020, Starmer himself acknowledged this, stating, “We’ve got to address the fact that millions of people vote in safe seats and they feel their vote doesn’t count.” Yet, as Prime Minister, he’s dismissed PR as a priority, drawing criticism even from within Labour. A reformed system could be implemented swiftly, building on WOTE’s proposals for a fairer, bottom-up democracy that empowers communities, not just Westminster elites.&nbsp;This idea, first floated by WOTE in December, is now urgent. Recent by-election losses, like Runcorn and Helsby to Reform UK by a mere six votes, and Labour’s struggles in local elections, signal growing public discontent. Policies like means-testing winter fuel payments and refusing to scrap the two-child benefit cap have sparked rebellions within Labour itself, with MPs like John McDonnell calling for U-turns. Every ministerial misstep adds to the evidence of negligence.&nbsp; &nbsp; Here’s the plan: MPs must unite across parties to pass a vote of no confidence, forcing the government’s resignation. A caretaker administration could oversee an election under a transitional PR system, drawing on WOTE’s framework. This isn’t about chaos—it’s about restoring democratic legitimacy. The public deserves a government that reflects their will, not one limping along with dwindling support. Join the conversation at @WoteUk &nbsp;on X. Share your ideas to refine this movement. Together, we can demand accountability and build a democracy that works for all. <h3>The gaslighting and legacy media misdirection just gets worse.</h3>Here Paul Watson calls it out over the LA "mostly peaceful" riots; but the dystopian WEF-inspired media propaganda machine carries on regardless to stimulate and stoke Trump derangement syndrome.

It's been quiet in here lately. Little progress is being made in any of the major challenges facing the country and world - just ever more of the same outrageous incompetence and submission to international irrelevance - as far as the UK is concerned.&nbsp;I have just been overwhelmed by the lies and dishonesty of the Starmer and his government. I have been looking back over the past couple of years and noting that pretty much everything I wrote has turned out to be true - the blog entries in here and at <a href="https://poelposition.blogspot.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="https://poelposition.blogspot.com">https://poelposition.blogspot.com</a> seemed edgy and bordering on conspiratorial when first written, but they have mostly been acknowledged as plausible and latterly become absorbed into the mainstream.
