As ever, wondering just what it would take for the #UKSR commentariat, let alone the captured politicians, to realise we are watching the deliberate sabotage of USA, her allies and hegemony.

A window on the absurd self importance of Westminster technologists.
Ovenden feted for calling really obvious lie a 'lie'. Such rare talent.
Labour won an unloseable election. Their campaign was so brilliant they fell back 5-7 points in the polls. Yet the backroom boys want credit.

At this stage, if you're paying the slightest attention and can't see this is an inside, self-sabotage job by traitors, seek urgent psychiatric help.

Apologies for sharing such an absurd Mail front cover but its properly funny.
Starmer's 'socialist utopia'. Wtf?
Fashion sense = North Korea?
And surely if your principal obsession is illegal immigration, ID cards make sense?

See also anong many examples, ruinous tariffs, vaccine cancellations, burning of US alliances.
Meanwhile, only a miniscule number of commentators dare talk of 'self sabotage', whilst the 'clever' people do what they have for a decade. Look, sound shocked and appalled.

Laurence Fox - a ridiculous fascist grifter whom I don't follow - is in my push notifications over at Musk's place. Yet there are 'respectable' commentators saying liberals, moderates, Trump opponents, should embrace Musk. Give me strength. I doubt they will ever get it.

To nobody's surprise, Liz Truss has joined the CPAC circuit, making the pilgrimage to Budapest.
As usual, everyone will explain it in ideological terms. No mention of why Hungary - the RU mafia state's EU colony - became the must-visit place for grifters willing to push far-Right bullshit.

I don't agree with the results. The answer is obviously Labour.
But this is a damning indictment of the Labour Party leadership - all wings of the party - over many generations.

The people who support Trump, Orban, happily took money from RU mafia tool Dmytro Firtash, never said a word about Lord Lebedev of Siberia...are suddenly distraught about their pet newspaper being bought by a foreign wealth fund.

Starmer and Morgan McSweeney are apparently clueless about who votes Labour.

It was already on life support, but Keir Starmer's credibility looks completely shot today. What on Earth did he expect to achieve with this? Whose vote does he think he will convert?

This is what standing up to Big Pharma looks like. Small healthcare providers, endorsed by humble First Son and heir to the throne, who definitely isn't a cokehead, no matter what "The Left! (Grrr!)" say.

No, Dan. You and the rest of the #UKSR client media were using that terrible argument to find a less disastrous narrative for the Tory Kleptocrats. Everyone analysing the results in good faith corrected the nonsense, but you all carried on.

Yet again, the big winners from Trump's trade war with China are...China.
This self-sabotage is a genius scam, in which the victims never even acknowledge they were scammed, lest it hurt their fragile egos.

I appreciate your efforts and motives but that story makes me despair even more!!
It's a nonsense. The political class 'misappropriating' billions, country disintegrating, transnational organised crime taking over. Yet this is what police and media focus on 😭

Gary Stevenson is making waves in the USA, and deservedly so. The most impressive person to come out of my old school, (including Trevor Brooking).

Trump - Mr Unfounded Economic Optimism - failing to deny recession was coming was a huge indicator of doom.
Now I wake up to find this from the very Conservative editor of The Economist in my inbox.

Andrew Roberts. Daniel Hannan. Andrew Neil.
Before you know it, Niall Ferguson will perform another spectacular 180.
Encouraging to know most prominent right wingers who spent the last decade ignoring the blindingly obvious were merely useful idiots, rather than traitors.

I was tempted to quote-tweet this but Andrew Neil blocked me last year, following a lengthy exchange over TrumpRussia, his hit piece on Hunter Biden and FBI raiding Mar a Lago in pursuit of ultra-sensitive classified documents.

So what is the Tory position? Yesterday they wanted Trump's state visit rescinded?
Presumably some donors got in touch.
