People are trying to make sense of why Reform have put forward Laila Cunningham as their candidate for Mayor of London. Is she a real Muslim? Is Reform containment? The simplest answer is that Cunningham is only interested in politics as a path for self-promotion. She's a grifter. She saw Reform are likely to form the next government, rote-learned the slick "British values" talking points to get ahead in a party desperate to not be called racist, and was pushed as the progressive-proof face of the party. Everything she does is to increase her personal advantage. She made headlines with her "supermum" citizens arrest stunt. She was in favour of hate crime legislation when it benefitted her. She wrote Woke poetry about how London's diversity was its strength — words which could have come straight from the mouth of Sadiq Khan. Then she jumped aboard the Conservatives when they were in power. She took selfies with everyone she could, because it was more important to be seen at functions than to be actually doing anything. She went to Pride and hosted the first Iftar event as a Councillor for Westminster North. The contradictions don't matter. She doesn't believe anything consistent. These are just the rituals of being a part of liberal political circles. The passwords you have to speak to be part of the club. It gatekeeps in favour of shameless grifters. She only pulled out of being the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Rotherham right before the 2024 election. What connection does she have to Rotherham? None, since she loves London so much that she's always lived there and wants to be Mayor. She just took the seat as a nonwhite Muslim woman, until she realised she couldn't win and it would damage her future prospects. We shouldn’t trust Cunningham. Not just because she's a Muslim, and both the British right and public at large don't like Islam. We shouldn’t trust her because her entire political career appears to be about making her famous. She wants to be in power and on camera for the sake of it. She isn't really all that interested in philosophy or policy. Otherwise, she wouldn't be reciting insults like "far right" or pushing the incoherent platitudes of "British values", because neither stand up to scrutiny. It's a grift. And if we want an effective right-wing in this country, we shouldn’t reward it.

Spending some time outside, in proper Britain. Morning birdsong is like the red pillar-boxes, hearty breakfasts, and morning fogs that George Orwell listed among the distinct characteristics of English culture. Our culture is irreducible to, but represented by, signs and symbols of a way of life which resonates with people whose heritage here stretches back a thousand years into the past. Many politicians deny this distinct culture. They think our way of life should be replaced. Birdsong means nothing to them. But it is our culture. Our land. Our songs. We love it, and so we should keep it.

Nigel Farage's gamble on an early by-election looked like it backfired when every rival party refused to participate. But when Labour, the Lib Dems, Conservatives, and the press endorsed Count Binface, they showed the scorn they have for deprived white towns like Clacton. Binface has become the irritating avatar of the establishment's disdain for the British people. This farce has gone far enough. People outside the Westminster bubble won't find joke candidates funny while their country faces financial, demographic, and cultural collapse, and is defenceless against predatory foreign powers. Farage will win the by-election. It's good that he does: his enemies want nothing more than to silence those who raise complaints about the state of our country with "But you lost to a bin." Don't give them the satisfaction. This circus is the establishment's fault. If his alleged financial misconduct is as severe as they say, why not stand against him and win? Because they know they can't, they resort to Parliamentary procedure and lawfare to remove the threat. The reminder that politics is gravely serious came when Ann Widdecombe was murdered last week. No wonder Farage requires constant security. Reform have realised that events have accelerated the decline, and left the cosy 2010s consensus behind. By adapting and listening to critics, they may regain the credibility and poll lead lost since the last election. Fortunately for them, their opponents refuse to learn any lessons.

On Monday, Rupert Lowe secured a debate on mass deportations in Parliament. Reform MPs agreed that we should deport every illegal immigrant and send millions of legal migrants home. Labour MPs Jonathan Brash, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, and Mike Tapp tried to police their language, accusing them of "racist dog-whistle politics". They are getting desperate because they know the public doesn’t agree with them. A new report from RICU darling Dame Sara Khan, A new report from RICU darling Dame Sara Khan, Britain Under Strain: The Broken Social Contract, Democratic Distrust and the Mainstreaming of Extremism, finds that: - 55 per cent of voters believe “national identity is disappearing because of diversity” - 33 per cent support remigration - 31 per cent believe being British is about ancestry - 61 per cent think the social contract is broken - 42 per cent say Muslims can never integrate into British society Among Reform voters, those figures are 87 per cent, 87 per cent, 50 per cent, 83 per cent, and 71 per cent, respectively. 32 per cent of voters believe capitalism has failed and we need a “communist revolution”. But, when categorising voters, the study finds that 58 per cent of the public are “far right” by the authors' standards. This means any party making a credible pitch to reverse mass migration and put British people first can win a Parliamentary majority. When supporters of the party that consistently leads national polls reject demographic change, multiculturalism, national identity based on self-ID, and the liberal managerial state, it's no wonder they're worried.

Immigration and censorship are about to get worse under Andy Burnham. Communist activists are now at the heart of government. Burnham has hired Matthew McGregor, former Director of Hope Not Hate, as Director of Political Strategy in 10 Downing Street, and Alison Phillips, a current board member of Hope Not Hate, as his Director of Transition. McGregor worked for the Obama campaign in 2012 and led Hope Not Hate's campaign against Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party in 2019. McGregor is also on the board of charity Reprieve, which campaigns to abolish the ability to strip British citizenship from the likes of Rochdale rape gang leader Shabir Ahmed and ISIS bride Shamima Begum. Phillips was editor of The Daily Mirror (2018 to 2024) and head of Labour Together. She writes incessant articles attacking Reform UK, and endorsed Nick Lowles' book on how to smear and censor their political opponents as "far right" and antisemites. Hope Not Hate trustee Baroness Ruth Anderson (formerly Smeeth) remains the Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office and a House of Lords Whip. Bunrham is pretending to be a fresh start, while recycling figures from the orbit of Morgan McSweeney's censorious Centre for Countering Digital Hate, the Jewish Labour Movement — who weaponise accusations of antisemitism, while supporting policies that import lethal Islamic terror — and Hope Not Hate. Hope Not Hate has been rewarded, despite employing violent communist Matthew Collins, who bludgeoned women with a hammer, and convicted paedophile Liron Velleman. These figures despise Donald Trump, and the Administration will find it impossible to work with them. They want to accelerate the forces of "civilisational erasure" that the US State Department has warned about. Without external pressure applied by our allies to the British state, life is about to get much harder for patriots and critics of the Labour government. Expect deplatforming, demonetisation, and persecution in the years preceding the next general election.
