Sorry to sound sycophantic, Matt, but you're bloody brilliant!

We should indeed pressurise foreign regimes into taking back not only criminals but the millions of those who have either entered Britain illegally or have proven unable or unwilling to support themselves and their families when given visas to come.

Benefit payments should be available strictly to British residents of at least ten years standing and then only to those who can clearly demonstrate a medical impairment or on a short term basis to those unable to find employment.

Posted above too early 🙄. I’d love our PM to subscribe to your Substack - that way he could read all our comments too and learn something from your analysis and what we all think of his premiership.

Sorry Matt. So far just lip service and zero action that actually amounts to anything being done. Of Labour's promises; 90% will in time be proven to be gaslighting. Just like the Starmer National Rape Gang enquiry being actually a series of Local enquiries which will let the main more senior culprits in this scandal off the hook. Cancel ECHR next? Not holding my breath.

Labour's colouring in its spots is not the same as changing them. Starmer is still a human rigbhts lawyer to his finger tips and has a proven track record of talking the talk but not walking the walk.

His enquiry into the rape gangs appears to exclude the civil service. That means council officers, police officers and Whitehall. Just this morning, Michael Gove was on GB News explaining that the civil service blocked any proper investigation and succeeded in frightening the Tory party. Granted, that was not difficult and Labour is terrified of its own shadow.

Iran is making dire threats against the UK if it sides with Israel. Iran knows very well that it now has an army of 100,000 in the UK. Using the mosque communications network, it can be mobilised very quickly and it will get very ugly.

There are plenty of people who want to live here and contribute but are intimidated by the religious headbangers so keep quiet. They, like the nut jobs, will all be caught up in the violence that is to come.

Perhaps you could recommend that he calls a General Election Matt?

Labour are simply terrified of the polling. As they should be. Labour and Tory had three decades to do as we asked. To do what the majority of British people wanted. It wasn't ignorance, they knew what the majority thought of human rights, illegal migrants, rape gangs, criminality, law and order and net migration. But they didn't care. they just thought they could get away with it.

Well, I hope the public do not forgive and forget. I want the next election to be a bloodbath. I've said this elsewhere, but there needs to be severe consequences for political parties which take the public for granted. Otherwise, do we really live in a democracy?

Take the Tory party. Is it really a democracy if we have a system which allows a party to consistently lie to the public during election season only to do the exact opposite of what they campaigned on?

Perfectly true. Labour are only changing their message because they are bothered about their polling, i.e. they are just opportunistically trying to shield themselves. There has been no change of heart and we should not let them off the hook. It is, however, foolish to equate the Labour Party with the back record of the Conservative Party, both are complicit in recent scandals over rape gangs and immigration. But Labour has been for decades now ideologically committed to above all protecting Moslem sensibilities and to rubbishing this country's record and Western values generally. The Conservative Party have been weak and cowardly but they were never ideologically committed to woke propaganda. The Labour Party has a double motivation, on the one hand ideological and on the other opportunistic. They are therefore much more dangerous and will never change their spots, they're too deeply involved in past scandals. They will whitewash any enquiry or try to.

And if Starmer IS reading, you're lucky you're going to get Farage as the next PM and not one who is more vengeful. The blob would certainly deserve losing jobs, pensions, honours and all the rest!

The Left has embraced the open borders Globalisation project ( useful idiots ) driven by international finance capitalism and haven't any solutions.

Correction due, in my view: the Uniparty (Cons included) has embraced the open borders globalisation project.

Remember that the symbol of the Fabian Society is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Like the Tories with their Rwanda Scam, Labour will talk tough about possible future actions when public anger needs cooling.

Neither party will do anything meaningful to prevent the demographic change you forecast recently because they are perfectly happy with current trends.

Which is exactly why we need a Reform government. Labour and Conservative are just two cheeks of the same arse.

What - led by Nigel "mass deportations are not our ambition" Farage?

With Richard "I don't care about demographic change because I won't be around" Tice?

And David "immigration is the life blood of this country" Bull?

It is absolutely essential that the Rape Gang fiasco is investigated thoroughly right through the public sector - government departments, local government, civil service, quangos, social services, children's homes and police. No stone must be left unturned and every lead and connection followed up. As a former civil servant, I really don't trust them to be as thorough as I would have been.p

Matt, I am worried you are getting ahead of yourself. Labour - viz. Morgan McSweeney - knows what it needs to say, but this is all half-hearted, reactive, and performative. There will be minimal follow through because the activists and those charged with implementation will make it as hard as possible.

There’s already signs of this from Louise Casey. She was backsliding into “white men are child rapists too” and faux outrage at Kemi Badenoch doing what I thought was an honourable thing and calling these Pakistanis out.

What is driving this apparent change of heart? Does the Labour leadership really understand, sympathise with and even agree with the mood of 'ordinary working people', or are they just really afraid of losing support to parties like Reform UK? It isn't just the government who need to see common sense, it's also the woke Liberal press like The Guardian newspaper; those university lecturers and school teachers who promote a distorted and left biased history of our country, think that all immigration is a good thing, no matter where the immigrants originate, and that multiculturalism has been a success. Oh dear, there us still a long way to go!
