I'm glad Keir Starmer has listened to our calls for this inquiry following the Reform Russian bribery scandal.

New post just out:
"The Overshoot"
Net migration is collapsing, and will fall further over the coming years. We could even have net emigration.
What does that mean for the country and the political narrative as we head towards the next election?

Elon Musk is back to funding Republicans.
Earlier this year the oligarch said he was starting a third party.
But now he's cutting checks for Republicans again, even after Trump's chief of staff said he's an avowed drug user who is not a rational person.

English isn't my wife's first language, but she's lived in UK 20+ yrs. This morning, at a carol concert, I learned she has been singing that "Christ, Arse Saver" is born during 'Silent Night' the whole time. "Because he saves our arses, yes?"

This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative.
Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.

The Patriots will always be cheaters, to me. Brady and Belichick both.
