Is Britain’s Labour Victory a National Embrace of the Left, or a Repudiation of the Fake Right?

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has explained the British electorate is not poised to usher in a leftist government because it is embracing leftist ideology but because the ruling Conservatives (Tories) have comprehensively betrayed their base.

War Room host Stephen K. Bannon asked Kassam, a reform advisor to Brexit leader Nigel Farage, why the Brexit vote in 2016 did not “immediately not spawn a populist nationalist movement” comparable to MAGA in the U.S.

Kassam noted that Tories “usurped” Brexit after the referendum—even though most Tory lawmakers campaigned against it—and “really slow-rolled the whole thing.”

“The reason that the United Kingdom right now is pulling to the left, is pulling to the Labour Party, is not because there is this great feeling that, ‘Oh, [Labour leader] Sir Keir Starmer, this bureaucrat and his Cabinet of mostly DEI appointments, can come along and improve the country,” he explained.

“No, this election is a repudiation of the Conservative Party, of the Conservative Party’s arrogance, of the lockdown measures during Covid, of its anti-Brexit, you know, forced Brexit behavior,” he stressed.

FARAGE 2029.

Kassam said this is why Farage is “gambling” on a political comeback, seeking to break into Parliament knowing that Labour is likely to alienate the public as badly as the Conservatives have over a four- to five-year term.

“He’s got a chance then to come in and say, look, you thought the Conservative Party in government doesn’t work, [Labour] really doesn’t work, and that will lead, I think, to a major major shift,” Kassam said.

“You can sense it, you can feel it,” he said of the political mood, predicting things are “shifting” and that it will take just “one more election cycle to get there.”

ANOTHER New Scandal in Plaguing British Politics…

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being urged to initiate an inquiry following the arrest of a Metropolitan Police officer assigned to his protection detail over allegations of betting on the timing of the next General Election. According to the Metropolitan Police, the investigation was prompted by information from the Gambling Commission.

The officer from the Royalty and Specialist Protection Command has been relieved of operational duties and was released on bail after being arrested on Monday on suspicion of misconduct in a public office. Meanwhile, the investigation has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which will determine its level of involvement. The Crown Prosecution Service defines misconduct in a public office as serious, willful abuse or neglect of authority, applicable to various public officials, including police constables.

In another troubling instance, the Gambling Commission announced it is investigating several potential offenses relating to the election date. Its probe includes Craig Williams, who served as Sunak’s parliamentary private secretary and is the Conservative candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr. Additionally, the commission announced a second Conservative candidate was under investigation late on Wednesday.

Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper called for a Cabinet Office inquiry, describing the situation as a potential government scandal. “Rishi Sunak must call a Cabinet Office inquiry into what is shaping up to be yet another scandal at the heart of Government,” Cooper stated. She emphasized the need for clarity on the incident.

A spokesman for the Conservative Party confirmed contact with the Gambling Commission regarding multiple individuals but refrained from further comment, citing the Commission’s independence. Sunak remarked on the incident involving Williams, labeling it “very disappointing.” Williams has expressed regret, noting the significant error in his judgment.

Ex-Boris Adviser Warns of ‘Massacre’ for UK Conservatives.

British political strategist Thomas Corbett-Dillon—who once advised ex-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson—is forecasting a significant defeat for the Conservative Party in the upcoming United Kingdom (UK) general election on July 4. Corbett-Dillon made his prediction during an interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast, stating that he also believes many in Great Britain will welcome the potential landslide loss.

The former adviser to Johnson criticized the Conservatives, accusing them of failing to deliver on their electoral promises, and expressed a belief that this failure will lead to their downfall. He noted that British voters are ready to hold the Conservatives, including current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, accountable for unfulfilled commitments. “You cannot get elected on promises and then not do what the people want you to do,” said Corbett-Dillon. “They deserve to lose their seats.”

Currently, the Conservative Party holds the majority in the UK Parliament. However, widespread anger over the party’s failure to address the nation’s migrant crisis, a sluggish economy, and inability to ensure basic government functions has resulted in what appears to be a significant electoral backlash. Corbett-Dillon pointed out that while many UK residents have conservative views, they are dissatisfied with the existing leadership.

Corbett-Dillon expressed hope that UK politicians might adapt and align themselves more closely with Republican principles in the United States, stating: “Hopefully, they are gonna start changing their tune, and maybe we’ll see the Conservatives become more like the Republicans, but I’m not holding out hope.”

The National Pulse reported last week that Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has overtaken the Conservative Party in recent polls. Farage said he intends to form the opposition to Labour after the election, supplanting the Conservatives.

Farage Vows to Break Britain’s Ties to Globalist World Economic Forum.

Nigel Farage is pledging his Reform Party will break Britain’s ties to Klaus Schwab‘s World Economic Forum (WEF) ahead of the country’s July 4 snap election. “Reform UK will reject the influence of the World Economic Forum and cancel Britain’s membership of it,” he vowed.

Detractors are attempting to “fact-check” the Brexit leader, claiming “Britain is not and never has been a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF).” This is disingenuous, as the British government has sent representatives to WEF summits in Davos, Switzerland, and, most recently, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for decades.

The British government also directly partners with the WEF on issues such as artificial intelligence (AI), sending a government secondee to its Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution to shape AI policy in 2018, for example. Additionally, the British government funds WEF projects like the Blue Food Partnership.

Farage has been railing against the WEF as the beating heart of globalism for years, arguing that “the nation-state, run on democratic lines, is much better than people deciding our futures in Swiss ski resorts on their annual jaunt to Davos, or wherever else it may be.”

In contrast, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, projected to become Prime Minister after the July 4 elections, says he prefers Davos to Westminster, where the Houses of Parliament are based.

Farage denounced the leftist as a “full-on globalist” whose “mask has slipped” at the time.

WATCH: American Reporter Threatened With Stabbing by London Jihadist.

A jihad supporter threatened to stab an American reporter in the neck while he was covering an anti-Israel protest outside the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. Pro-jihad protests have plagued the British capital since the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, while SOAS has long been notorious for promoting far-left race ideology and hosting radical Islamic hate preachers.

Ben Bergquam, host of the Law and Border show on Real America’s Voice News, filmed himself being manhandled and told to “f**k off” by a foreigner with his head wrapped in a Palestinian keffiyeh. A local Muslim soon joins the foreigner, threatening Bergquam, “I’ll shank you in the f*ing neck, bro!” and repeatedly screaming, “You’re on my turf, bro!”

The jihad supporter admits he is not even a student at SOAS.

“The same communist, Jihad sympathizers that we find in America… almost like this is globally organized!” Bergquam said. “If you vote for Democrats, you are supporting this!”

London police have had a generally permissive attitude towards Hamas supporters and anti-Israel activists since October 7. Officers are nowhere to be seen during Bergquam’s interaction with them.

In May, Donald Trump lamented London is “no longer recognizable” as a result of having “opened the doors to jihad.”

Local Politicians Are Flocking to Farage’s Reform Party.

Local politicians elected as Conservatives (Tories) are defecting to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, signaling a significant shift on the British right. Jeff Bray, Peter Harris, Richard Everett, and James Codling, all members of Tendring Council in the Clacton constituency (electoral district) where Farage is running for Parliament, joined him at a rally in the seaside town on Tuesday.

“I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues in joining Reform UK to advocate for common-sense policies here in Clacton and the surrounding areas,” said Harris, who, like Bray, is a former chairman of Tendring Council.

Farage welcomed the new members enthusiastically, stating, “Reform UK’s positive message for change is resonating with people across Clacton. I am proud to welcome four new councilors who will play key roles in advancing our cause.”

The Conservatives currently govern Britain under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. They are expected to be ousted by Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party after the July 4 snap election, however.

Presiding over record mass migration, failing to deliver a genuine Brexit, and governing from the center-left, the Conservatives have had little to offer their 2019 voters. Polls show they are abandoning Sunak’s party for Reform in droves.

Projections indicate that Farage will win Clacton from the Conservatives with a historic swing. Reform also expects to capture the parliamentary seat of Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden.

The Brexit leader believes Reform can use a parliamentary “bridgehead” to become the true opposition to Labour over the next five years, and win the next general election outright in 2029.

Top Leftist Strategist Urges Uniparty Coalition to Stop Farage.

Alastair Campbell, former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s right-hand man during his premiership, is urging Britain’s Labour Party and its supposed rivals, the Conservative (Tory) Party, to form a uniparty coalition to stop Nigel Farage from winning the parliamentary constituency (electoral district) of Clacton.

Campbell, a top spin doctor who infamously issued the British press with the “dodgy dossier” the Blair government used to justify the disastrous Iraq War, pressed Clacton Labour to “Please sort something out with the Tories” after a poll predicted Reform Party leader Nigel Farage would narrowly win the seat, ahead of the incumbent Tories, with Labour in third place but not too far behind.

Clacton Labour candidate Jovan Owusu-Nepaul is proving something of a liability, with a record of boasting that “white man tears” are his “favorite drink.”

Farage argues there are “no real, fundamental differences between” Labour and the Conservatives, with both parties presiding over a high tax burden and mass migration.

They claim to be bitter rivals, however. The Conservatives present themselves as pro-borders, pro-tax cuts, and anti-woke–despite increasing immigration, taxes, and state-funded woke activism. They argue right-wingers should not vote for Reform because it would help Labour. Meanwhile, Labour figures, including Campbell, present the center-left Conservatives as “hard right.”

A pact between the two in Clacton could stop Farage, whose party is currently polling ahead of the Conservatives nationally, but would also strengthen his argument that they are much the same.

The Wealthy Are Fleeing London. Here’s Why…

Millionaires are fleeing Britain faster than any country except China, amid concerns over a likely Labour victory in the upcoming July 4 snap election. The Henley Private Wealth Migration Report reveals that 9,500 millionaires left Britain last year, with only China seeing a higher number of departures.

“This represents a new record outflow for the UK, with London expected to be especially hard hit. The top destinations for millionaires leaving the UK include Paris, Dubai, Amsterdam, Monaco, Geneva, Sydney, and Singapore, as well as retirement hotspots such as Florida, the Algarve, Malta, and the Italian Riviera,” the report notes.

Countries like Brazil, where a leftist government has ousted former president Jair Bolsonaro, known as the ‘Trump of the Tropics,’ have also experienced significant millionaire exits. However, in Europe, only Britain and Russia saw a net outflow of millionaires—in the latter case, as a result of oligarchs and others, many of whom are dual nationals of Israel, leaving to evade Western sanctions.

“Migrating millionaires are a vital source of [foreign exchange] revenue as they tend to bring their money with them when they move to a new country. For instance, a migrant who brings USD 10 million with them is equivalent to a country generating USD 10 million in export revenue as both transactions generate USD 10 million of forex revenue for the country,” Henley explains.

Many high-net-worth individuals (around 20 percent) who relocate are entrepreneurs and company founders, often creating local jobs in their new countries. This percentage rises to over 60 percent for centi-millionaires and billionaires.

Leftist-run U.S. states are experiencing similar issues, with many millionaires abandoning California and New York for conservative-run Florida and Texas, where taxes and regulations are less punishing.

WATCH: Climate Loons Desecrate Stonehenge.

Climate extremists from the Just Stop Oil group have vandalized England’s Stonehenge monument with orange paint, claiming the act of desecration “builds on the legacy” of the ancient Britons who erected the stone circle.

The extremist group is using the criminal act to fundraise towards a £150,000 (~$191,000) target. The funds will go towards digital communications, media teams, safehouses, and legal defenses, among other things.

Just Stop Oil activists previously vandalized a display case containing an original copy of the Magna Carta in May, among many similar stunts. They sometimes block traffic, even preventing ambulances rushing to “life and death” emergencies from moving.

Taxpayer-funded technocrats such as United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres are indirectly encouraging climate extremists, fearmongering that “climate change is here [and] it is terrifying” and that “the era of global boiling has arrived.”

They may face a harsher response than usual to their Stonehenge stunt. The megaliths and the rare lichens growing on them have state protection under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act and endangered species legislation.

Anti-Israel activists have also been targeting British heritage in recent months, with the Palestine Action group slashing and spray-painting a 1917 portrait of Prime Minister Arthur Balfour in March.

UK Inflation FINALLY Hits 2% Target in Tiny Boost for PM Rishi Sunak.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), inflation in the United Kingdom has decreased to an annual rate of 2.0 percent. This rate, down from 2.3 percent in April, aligns with expectations. Core inflation, excluding food, energy, alcohol, and tobacco due to their volatility, is anticipated to have reduced to 3.5 percent from 3.9 percent.

The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose 2.0 percent over the 12 months leading to May 2024, a decline from 2.3 percent in April. The Consumer Prices Index, including homeowners’ housing costs (CPIH), rose by 2.8 percent, compared to 3.0 percent in April.

The fall could be a boon to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who made the two percent inflation target one of his key goals when he became premier. He claims he can “start cutting people’s taxes” now.

However, inflation has been outpacing real-term pay increases for years. Although real-term pay increases are now outpacing inflation, many workers are still behind overall.

BIG PICTURE. 

An analysis by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) indicates that unsecured household debt will rise by more than £1,600 per household this year. Driven by loans, credit cards, and hire purchase agreements, this amounts to a 9.4 percent increase in real terms. The TUC says this is the largest annual rise in cash terms since records began in 1987.

YouGov polling reveals that 42 percent of people have cut back on essential spending, such as food and utilities, rising to 47 percent for women. Around 60 percent reported reducing non-essential spending like dining out and entertainment. Almost 19 percent have fallen behind on household bills, with this figure reaching 28 percent among those aged 18-24. Additionally, 27 percent have taken on debt to handle unexpected bills, jumping to 37 percent for adults aged 25-49.
