It's the immigrants fault we lost.

If you take one lesson from the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, let it be this:

Once we become a minority, there is no voting our way out of this.

How much is by not letting Badenoch appointment the Chancellor?

Can Labour claim a £30billion "Not being Liz Truss" saving every budget?

Palantir’s Tom Watson says ‘mob rule’ must not dictate awarding of government contracts

Former Labour deputy leader says tech firm would work with a Reform UK government on immigration crackdowns

Oh, do ◊◊◊◊ right off, Watson!

Just because you sold what was left of your soul to Thiel doesn't mean you get to offer up ours as well.

Any sensible person not wanting Pete Thiel or any of his companies anywhere near them nor their countries is not "mob rule", rather us thinking a bit more about what is happening, looking at the behaviour of Thiel, listening to what Thiel says, then concluding "not with someone else's barge pole. Not even yours Watson!"

Now carry on ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ off some more!

Why is he drinking foreign beer?

Worse than that, it's black, and you have to let it settle...

Meanwhile, a friend passing through Brussels informed me that there are riot police on the streets using tear gas and water cannons on trades union protestors against the proposed budget. I thought that was just a French pastime.

Police deploy tear gas and water cannon against riots around union protest

Belgium’s two biggest trade unions, CSC-ACV and FGTB-ABVV, are staging protests on Friday against the federal government’s budget plans.

This election was always a free hit for Restore Britain, and we’ve managed to win hundreds and hundreds of votes in a very posh and a very Islamic part of central London.

Patriots, all of them.

Good work, @Tyler4Restore
.

Hundreds...out of many thousands.

The voters don't agree with you

Less than 2000 votes, not much of a conference 'bounce'

Helen Whately MP
@Helen_Whately
Millions of people on benefits is unaffordable and a sign that our culture has changed.

More people looking to the state to fix things no matter what. Fewer people standing on their own two feet.

Britain cannot be a force in the world with a culture like this.

Perhaps we don't want to be a force in the world?

If only the area had more Chinese patriots, he might have done a little better.

Or Russian.

@GoodwinMJ

A strange feeling. I loathe Labour and don’t want them to win. But the Greens represent an even bigger threat to our country. I’m very much hoping that Mad Zack Polanski loses in Holborn and St Pancras tonight. He’s tried to mainstream some dark ◊◊◊◊ in our country.

We don't believe you. Repeating the same thing won't make any difference.

Our message to violent and repeat offenders is simple.

We will lock you up.

Successive governments failed to build the prisons we need - but we are going to build 50,000 new places.

"Successive Governments"? I think you misspelled "We"

I am pretty certain that Cleese is extracting the urine, and has been for ages.

Sadly he seems to believe it now

When 1st and 2nd places in an election in a London Borough are won by a Somalian with an Islamist in second place, don't you now wish you'd stood up years ago and said what you're saying now.
We've been invaded.
But you were too scared of being called a racist.
You've reaped what you've sown.
And now - it's too late for London.

Labour is throwing pensioners under the bus in favour of benefits for migrants.

Reform UK will end this madness.

I see this happening a lot more in the future.

People will eventually realise:

1) It solves the problem of migrant HMOs in YOUR area.

2) Extremely unlikely to be caught (police resourcing).

3) Your neighbours will not rat you out because you just solved a problem for them.

I am sure you are thrilled that Somali Sagol Abdi-Wali has been elected as an MP in Holborn & St Pancras.

I keep saying in 2029 or before, if we do not elect a robust centre-right government, this country is finished. The Great Replacement is winning.

Not even a whisper from Reform about yesterday's elections, council or parliamentary.
