Reform UK's Goodwin can't face the electorate on the same terms as Gorton and Denton candidates.
He's doing a runner?
Seem like he's scared?
Not really a strong candidate then?
Nope!
Seems like the reasons to not vote Reform are building and building!

"People increasingly are seeing people like Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as weak and useless, given their tendency to play softbody and write strongly worded letters to murderous ICE agents. No politician can or will save us. Certainly no police or military will."

King Donald the Mad boasts his funeral will draw a “much bigger crowd” than Dick Cheney's.
I'm reminded of Franke Boyle's remark on the £3m spent on Thatcher's funeral.
For £3m you could give everyone in Scotland a shovel, and we'd dig a hole so deep we could hand her over to Satan in person.”

On paper, the economy looks strong. GDP numbers look good. Corporate profits are healthy. But those metrics are measuring the very machinery that's grinding you down.

I don’t think people realize how much AI is changing the battle space.
Think about it like this:

This isn’t super surprising - DOD has been increasingly relying on AI for operations. I’ve written about this several times.
Some people seem surprised that they used an off the shelf model rather than a propriety product, but DODs AI suite incorporates almost all of the models.

Despite making over £20bn in the UK, Starbucks has paid £0 tax in most years.
In fact it's total tax paid ever is only about £20m.
It pulls this off by paying £40m+ a year to its parent company in the USA so it makes a loss.
