This gets worse for Sir Keir Starmer.

In a couple of years, second, third, fourth, and fifth will be swapping from poll to poll with all of them in the 13-18% range. This gives Green the three Manchester seats.

Your Party will focus on high profile/front bench seats.

That's what I think, anyway

➡️ Reform lead by 16%, their largest ever advantage in an opinion poll.

This would give them 407 seats on the custom nowcast model, a majority of 164.

"(Officers) refuse to recognize local or court authority. A judge says you can’t arrest journalists. Watch us. A judge says we have to wear badges. No. State law says we can’t drive around in unmarked vans? Too bad. Elected officials who want to see what is going on should prepare to be arrested."

Wow.

Keir Starmer's goons conned their way to power.

But now the chickens are coming home to roost.

what did she call us | patreon.com/lubchansky

PANEL 1: MATTIE and one other person are handcuffed on a platform over a big cylindrical vat full of glowing liquid. Behind them, TWO ARMED TROOPERS stand. One is shouting, next to a big lever.
TROOPER: You have all been charged with sexual deviance under the new statutes!
TROOPER: You are hereby sentenced…

PANEL 2: Closer in on MATTIE and the person next to her.
TROOPER (VO): …To being dropped into a big vat of acid, thus dissolving your perverted bodies!
MATTIE: I sure did prefer life before we were overrun by fascist stormtroopers.

PANEL 3: The TROOPERS look at each other.
TROOPER 2: Sorry…What did she-he call us?
TROOPER 1: NOT Cool…

PANEL 4: The other TROOPER from panel 3. He's crying, and pulls the lever. Some acid splashes into the frame.
TROOPER: STOP BULLYING ME!
SFX: CLUNK
SFX: SPLASH

Pope to journalists: “…it is worth remembering Hannah Arendt’s warning that ‘the ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.’”
