Let the nonsense commence: Pete North hits the ground running and looks like having a rich diet of hypocrisy, contradiction and idiocy upon which to feed. Keir Starmer has called for a ceasefire in Gaza. He is already pandering to the Muslin vote, and our foreign policy is to be dictated by cousin-marrying third worlders living in Oldham. Meanwhile, Ed Miliband, in defiance of local democracy, is to remove the effective ban on onshore wind turbines in line with the party donor’s demands.We also learn that Labour is considering plans to release offenders after they serve just 40% of their sentence in a bid to tackle prison overcrowding. We then learn today that Labour is to allow more than 100,000 migrants to apply for asylum after scrapping Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda scheme. This latest move amounts to a general amnesty for immigration cheats. It will be interesting to see where Mr Starmer plans to house them.As an opening salvo, none of this bodes well for the country. It suggests Labour could be about as bad as we feared. Already though, Starmer is making enemies by appointing a women’s minister who said that there are many definitions of a woman. JK Rowling, Martina Navratilova and other feminist campaigners have condemned the move. One can‘t help feeling that Labour is setting itself up for a fall on several fronts.Labour’s promise of 1.5m new homes, for instance, requires a 70 % increase UK house building capacity, which categorically isn’t not going to happen. Opposition to new onshore wind farms is likely to drive considerable rural opposition, while the approach to dinghy migrants will anger just about everyone apart from human rights lawyers.We have yet to see Labour’s plans to open up new fronts in the culture war, but it’s not a good sign that Stephen Kinnock has been appointed Minister for Health and Social Care. Kinnock has surrendered his daughter to the gender butchers for breast amputation. During the election Starmer vowed to ban the teaching of gender ideology in schools, and won’t be keen to make a rod for his own back, but the new influx of backbenchers will have their own ideas o the matter.The real worry, though, is how far Starmer will appease Islamists, recognising he needs to win back urban Muslim votes if he wants to secure a comfortable second term in office. If there are moves to enshrine the APPG definition of Islamophobia into law, we’ll know whose tune Starmer is dancing to.Meanwhile, it seems we should keep a close eye on Starmer’s plans for “devolution”. This, of course, is not real devolution, rather it it marks the regionalisation and quangofication of “local” government, controlled by Whitehall. Labour will put new powers in the hands of combined authorities but with statutory strings attached. We do not yet know if Starmer intends to press ahead with Gordon Brown’s constitutional revolution, but this smells like the groundwork.On the Brexit front, both Starmer and Lammy have been keen to dampen any ideas about rejoining the single market, though David Lammy has made it a priority to repair relations with the bloc. Precisely what he can accomplish remains to be seen. Initial remarks suggest Lammy will limit himself to talks on climate, energy and security, but this is unlikely to produce anything tangible. EU diplomats have already poured cold water on anything more ambitious.As to the economy, Rachel Reeves has signalled the nation’s finances are in worse shape than she previously understood, and is preparing the ground for a round of tax increases.Over the coming days and week we’ll get more of a flavour of what we’re in for, but it will be rich pickings for a conservative opposition. That, though, is contingent on there being a conservative opposition and whether it can take time away from the ritual infighting. It looks like we’re in for another protracted leadership contest in which party will fail to resolve its internal philosophical differences.On that score, I have no real preference. Suella Braverman has grown on me over the last year, as has Robert Jenrick, but the new front line of the Tory party does not look inspiring or encouraging. The party cannot go where it needs to go in order to win back Reform voters. Even if Labour is especially bad, the scale of Tory betrayal will be keenly remembered.The good news is that there is no role in Starmer’s government for Emily Thornberry, and David Cameron has declared his intention to retire from frontline politics again. Since good news is in such short supply, I’ll take whatever cheer I can find.In the round, we are in for a turbulent few years. Starmer’s majority may be a mile wide, but it’s only an inch deep. Several of his key policies fly in the face of majority opinion, and the rise of political Islam has not gone unnoticed. The entire political class is in a state of denial as to how fractured and dangerous politics is becoming, and is singularly incapable of debating the issues, let alone addressing them.As such, politics out in the real world will continue to deteriorate while the world becomes a more threatening and unstable place. The fate that befell the zombie Tory party is just as likely to befall Starmer’s Labour. A clock is ticking, but the denizens of Westminster are deaf to it.

let the nonsense commence

Chris Martz - the unapologetic client Ninja - takes few prisoners once again... "... Listen here communist,The IPCC was never created with the intention to study both natural and man-made causes of climate change. Their founding documents may say differently, but let’s get real.There was no need for it — universities and government organizations such as the BoM in Australia, Met Office in the UK and NASA, NCAR and NOAA here in the U.S. were already on the case.The United Nations, which the IPCC is a part of, is a political organization, period. Their primary goal is globalism — that is, the objective of planning economic and foreign policy on a global basis, and one of these aims is securing control of the energy industry by regulating coal, oil and natural gas companies . If you control the production and distribution energy, you control everything.Power-hungry bureaucrats and political opportunists saw the emerging science of “global warming theory” as a way to advance their agenda. There was some growing evidence that carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels was slightly enhancing the Earth’s natural “greenhouse effect,” and that it explains the global warming trend.&nbsp;However, science was far from “settled” as to precisely how much our emissions contributed to warming, and whether or not warming was dangerous. Scientists were in widespread dispute.However, in seeing that there was some evidence that fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions might be the primary cause of global warming, political opportunists at the United Nations sought to use that as a crutch to use the scientific community to build a case to regulate coal, oil and natural gas companies by via regulation of carbon emissions.Bureaucrats decided to build a scientific panel of climate experts to specifically find evidence of harmful, human-caused global warming. They told them to come to some sort of agreement that warming is human-caused and dangerous. They were not tasked with examining evidence for natural variability, nor any benefits of warming. After all, if warming since, say, 1850, turned out to be largely natural or of no significant harm, then there’d be no case to regulate energy companies. So, they put the cart before the horse.&nbsp;And, the public, at least back then, had trust in the scientific community. So, if the experts were saying that humans are screwing up the climate, then the United Nations would be able to carry on with their globalist agenda without any major pushback.This entire “green” movement revolves around regulation of energy and control over people’s daily lives, micromanaging the most minute details. It has nothing at all to do with environmentalism. Your outrage here confirms this because you would otherwise try to prove me wrong. You just don’t like that people like me are standing in your way.From X - @chrismartzwx

climate: truths and consequences

Draft 1v0 07jul24<h3>Now there is real work to be done.</h3>The key thing to remember is that 34% of the popular vote may now be about to make the lives of 66% of the nation suffer from a slab of long cherished dogma that nobody voted for - because nobody knew what was going on, because Starmer avoided been drawn into discussing his real intentions.The useless media completely failed to corner Starmer and force a proper declaration of intent. I have just seen Labour Party advisor Sam White admitting that he took his inspiration to move on from the 2019 election defeat from an Avengers movie where Dr Strange reviewed a million possible futures, and chose the narrow path to success against Stanos, requiring self-sacrifice and bravery, I kid you not, these wonks are borderline fanatics. It might explain why Keir Starmer appears to have been modelled on Groot&nbsp; (and before anybody tells me, I know he's from a different comic franchise). <figure id="figure-bjxw8mijslybzwfrd" class=""><img id="bjxw8mijslybzwfrd" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27ffWy877Ugf8SrR1V9VQq1VVr7jWuOcpu6P1CWOhqKOBGWSqyfCrci9LVtwK4wJ.jpg" alt="Celebratory Toast with String Lights and Champagne Silhouettes" title="Celebratory Toast with String Lights and Champagne Silhouettes" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined% 20%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined%" data-positiony="20%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27ffWy877Ugf8SrR1V9VQq1VVr7jWuOcpu6P1CWOhqKOBGWSqyfCrci9LVtwK4wJ.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined% 20%;"></figure>The clumsy Tories have gifted Labour the opportunity for Honest Keir to be praised by commentators like <a data-mce-href="https://www.civilexchange.org.uk/who-we-are" href="https://www.civilexchange.org.uk/who-we-are">Caroline Slocock,</a> (another career civil servant in the mould of Sue Gray, and former pps to a genuine political giant, Margaret Thatcher, and lesser mortal John Major).

Presently restrained by those who acknowledge 34% does not represent a credible mandate and reflects no faith in the policies of the secretive Starmer. If they rattle on with the loony stuff - backed by just 34% of the popular vote giving Labour carte blanche, they know they will be hauled up and told to explain how 34% (of the 60% turnout) can justify the sort of deep constitutional change/mischief that ethically requires a credible mandate. Or even a referendum...Here's a free bit of policy advice for Sir Keir - if he wants to start work to wind back the ruinous Blair devolution that broke up the Nation and led to the costly and unnecessary regional muddles in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Welsh Marxists, he may find more support than he is expecting. The rumours from the regions are that they know it hasn't worked, although it's costing a fortune.&nbsp; But it suited Blair to set up regional enclaves where Tories would be very unlikely to establish long term influence. And so it was.Better ways of collaborating whilst retaining devolving responsibility exist by properly exploiting the technology of 2024. Maybe even as basic as getting everybody to use Google's workspace apps on £150 Android phones and tablets.RealDemocracy.uk should start by "knowing the enemy" before launching into any presumptive moves based on the little idea of what Labour has up its sleeve.

being better winners

Rishi Sunak was a very lonely figure. His quite astonishing folly has steered the UK to the edge of a Marxist abyss. Has he been the victim of a Russian Psyops plot? Did Sue Gray leave sleepers in Downing Street to complete the work of bringing down the government and setting up her new boss?<h3>So what is wrong with everyone? This is a malignantly illegitimate and plainly bogus result - where a minority government with just 34% of the vote (60% turnout) wins the lunatics 409 seats, amounting to almost 60% of the total of 650 asylum seats.</h3>LibDems win 70 seats with 12% of the vote. Reform wins 5 seats with 16%. There needs to be an immediate expression of popular outrage. Let's see what happens when Taxpayers try to remit 34% "pro rata" of the taxes due. But also pay the other 66% into an escrow account, pending on voting reform. But this form of direct action is no longer possible in a world of direct debits, PAYE and money that you simply do not control any longer, and frequently never even see before it is "confiscated". WEF Plans for Central Bank digital currency (CBDC), digital ID and social credit scoring, are well advanced. <a data-mce-href="https://news.sky.com/story/tony-blair-and-william-hague-call-for-everyone-to-have-digital-id-cards-12817051" href="https://news.sky.com/story/tony-blair-and-william-hague-call-for-everyone-to-have-digital-id-cards-12817051" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ask Tony Blair.</a> It is of course for your own benefit.What's this... you hadn't heard? Remember the story of the frog in a pan of water, that does not notice as the temperature rises gradually until it is boiled alive. An old friend who is a Czech expat who escaped communism 40 years ago, and moved to Australia to set up a successful electronics business responded to my proposition... "....It’s a great idea, but the obedient sheeple will never dare to do it. You do need to face the fact that you are in fact a dissident, a part of a&nbsp; tiny minority that the ignorant and cowardly majority is too afraid to join, and even despises for that very reason. Most people are so intimidated and paralysed by the current system that they became incapable of any meaningful and resolute action against it. And many also fall prey to a kind of Stockholm syndrome. You can’t fundamentally change a system that is inherently rigged against such a major change, and which moreover relies on ignorance and cowardice of the majority of the population. Really, the similarity with the communist society I grew in is hard to ignore. It would literally take some sort of an organized revolution to extricate the society from this complicated, self-perpetuating mental disorder..." Ouch&nbsp; 🤔05jul24/v.4

So only pay 34% of the tax due?

Guest soothsayer, Pete North, provides a parting shot as the corpse of this exhausted government twitches its last. It will not be missed. People ask me why I put so much effort into analysing Reform instead of attacking the other parties. It's simple. I actually want the right to win. By trade, I'm a software analyst. It's my job to find faults. I'm good at it too. Without my work, companies would end up shipping bad software that doesn't work, and they'd lose money. You have to be self-critical to stay in business.&nbsp;The same is true of politics. The Tories never addressed the fundamental flaws, and look what happened to them. As with software, sometimes you just have to admit that the code is so badly corrupted or poorly structured that it's better to simply scrub it and start over.I could have spent the entire election attacking Labour or the Tories, but I don't need to. It's all on record. I've spent more time analysing energy and immigration policy than most of you combined. You agreed with me then, you just don't like what I'm saying now.&nbsp;We also know why the Tories are going to lose, and we know roughly what kind of disaster Labour will be. Nobody's voting Labour because they like their policies. Moreover, I don't have a stake in either party. I don't care if they both die and I rather hope they do. What interests me is how we take back power.&nbsp;To that end I asked myself if Reform can succeed and whether it was worth backing. It can't, and it isn't. That's my considered opinion as a long time policy analyst and political writer, and someone (unlike you) with a functioning long term memory. Much of my analysis is centres of Farage and his all-too-predictable behaviours.&nbsp;I don't deny the man is the best communicator in the business. I don't even disagree with much of what he says. He's just a very poor leader and an even worse strategist. Most of what people say he's about is pure projection, largely because he's a symbol of hope to many. But that's why I find this all so depressing. He will dash those hopes.&nbsp;People say I should stop "being negative" and "get on board", which is really just code for "shut up". I know you don't want to hear it. It even costs me to say it. My Substack hits are way down this month because I'm not telling you what you want to hear. But I have always been in the business of telling people what they want to hear. There are plenty of right wing YouTube ranters who sing the songs you like to hear, telling you what you already know about wokery, Net Zero and gender, and I couldn't compete with them even if I wanted to. My conscience could not bear it.&nbsp;As it happens, my analysis very much is "getting on board". I have written, at length, what corrective actions should be taken. I have travelled the country to talk to people at my own expense, with money I don't have, and taken to X to produce original content that many of you tell me is too long to bother reading. Well, fine. That's more a reflection of you than me.&nbsp;Where I don't want to be in 2029 or 2034, is in this same rut, with nobody to vote for and without a political pot to piss in. That's what motivates me. That's what drives me. I have concluded that there is no future in Reform, it is incapable of becoming anything more than what it is, cannot break through the inherent ceiling that goes with lazy populism, and the barrier to developing it into something sustainable is its leader (and his notorious aversion to detail and consistency).As such, I'm not prepared to throw good money after bad, or invest my energies in something that cannot succeed. I know roughly how this exercise ends, and it leads us back to square one. You might not care to learn from experience, but we've already seen from Vote Leave and Boris Johnson how this goes. When you delegate the details and delivery to someone else, you end up back where you started.&nbsp;That Boris Johnson squandered Brexit is not in the least bit surprising to me. I gave the same warnings at the time, but was again told to stop being "negative" and to "get on board". And here we are, with the Tories about to lose by a landslide - to the worst iteration of Labour there has ever been. How d'ya like them apples?<h3>I take no pleasure in the fact I will be vindicated eventually. That's why I'm so despondent. But I will go on saying it how I see it, because I know some are listening, and they're the ones who will have a voice in building the alternative. In the meantime, if you don't like what I do, take your mithering elsewhere. I don't owe you anything, especially not conformity.</h3><a href="https://x.com/FUDdaily/status/1808856206552814051" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="https://x.com/FUDdaily/status/1808856206552814051">Pete's post on X - comment here...</a>
