Won't be a revelation to anyone but the reason all the worst people on the right are pivoting to talking about race and culture rather than immigration is so they can keep banging the drum even as net migration figures fall (UK) and even reverse (US).
This is the next step and it always was.

Outstanding quote from Casement.
Roger Casement: “A nation is a very complex thing. It never does consist; it never has consisted solely of men of one blood or one single race – it is like a river, rising in the hills with many sources, many converging streams, that become one great stream.” (1905)

There’s a structural shift happening.
At least one political economy is positioning itself to win:
“…and almost all of the growth in investment, making clean energy essential to meeting economic targets.”
The US was trying for a few years, then the coup* of the Epstein class happened.

NEW from us: Rapid expansion of the EV, wind, solar and other clean energy industries drove more than a third of China's GDP growth in 2025, and almost all of the growth in investment, making clean energy essential to meeting economic targets.

Huge applause as Starmer declares Britain has moved beyond the Brexit years. One of the strongest EU speeches by a PM in decades - yet barely covered by the BBC or MSM. While serious leadership is ignored, airtime still goes to Farage and recycled outrage. Kuenssberg, Zeffman, Mason, Gibb - out.

If children were more politically active they would be quite pissed to be told that their screen time is “the most urgent public health issue” while the largest measles outbreak since the vaccine sweeps their schools because of conspiracies that the adults in their life believed from social media.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.
Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.
Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.
