Huge Poll Shows UK Labour Party in Landslide Victory, Farage-Linked ‘Reform’ Gets NO Seats.

A massive new poll of over 18,000 Britons has shown that the UK Labour Party could expect to win a stunning 403 seats if an election were held tomorrow. The next UK election must occur before January 2025, by law.

YouGov data shows the Labour Party would come close to Tony Blair’s 418 landslide victory in 1997, which the former prime minister used to take a wrecking ball to Britain: centralizing education authority, monopolizing the state control over healthcare, “reforming” the House of Lords, and opening Britain’s borders to the world. A similar victory for Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party would doubtless herald similar radical-left measures.

In the project scenario, Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party would win a humiliating 155 seats, with key party figures and Cabinet Ministers losing their places in Parliament.

Despite a recent spike in expressed voting intention, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party would win no seats in the YouGov forecast, mostly because their vote is spread too thinly across the country, the same problem the UK Independence Party (UKIP) faced in 2015.

The party would, however, finish a respectable second in almost 30 seats, as represented by YouGov in the chart below:

Sewage in UK Waterways Leaves Fish Full of Cocaine, Contraceptives, & Antidepressants.

Raw sewage overflows from a local treatment plant have impacted several fish species in the United Kingdom’s Langstone Harbor. According to marine biologist Alex Ford, various marine species found in the harbor located on the coast in Hampshire have been found with build-ups of residue from contraceptive pills, antidepressants, and cocaine. It is believed the chemicals found in the local fish contained their habitat via the sewage spills.

Ford, a professor at Portsmouth University, led a government study of sewage’s impact on the country’s waterways. Numerous harbors and other waterways around the country experience sewage overflows when treatment plants cannot handle the volume of waste. As a result, these plants pipe the excess human waste directly into the nearby ocean.

The government’s Environment Agency says that sewage spills and overflows were at a record high in the United Kingdom in 2023. According to an agency report, treatment plants released raw sewage into neighboring waterways for over 3.6 million hours last year, doubling the number of discharge hours from 2022. Individual waste spills increased by 54 percent, from 301,000 in 2022 to 464,000 last year.

Waste facilities blame heavy rains in 2023 for inundating the country’s sewage system. The extra water caused storm drains to back up and triggered emergency releases to prevent waste from backing up into peoples’ homes. The government, however, says there is evidence that the treatment companies are abusing the emergency releases, dumping waste into local waterways even on dry days.

Sadiq Khan Lights London with ‘Happy Ramadan’ Displays over Holy Week and Easter Weekend.

London’s public spaces are being festooned with ‘Happy Ramadan’ lights through Holy Week and Easter weekend, the most important holiday period for Christians.

Ramadan, a period of fasting in Mayor Sadiq Khan’s Islamic faith, moves in line with the moon each year. This year, it overlaps with Holy Week and Eastertide and appears to be taking precedence over them, despite the United Kingdom’s status as a constitutionally Christian country.

London’s Ramadan displays, now in their second year, adorn the key locations in the West End, including Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, and Oxford Street. Khan, of the left-wing Labour Party, personally switched on the lights earlier this month.

The choice of decoration, funded by the Aziz Foundation set up by billionaire property magnate Asif Aziz, has drawn criticism from some Conservatives.

“The thing I would question is this: there has been a Ramadan celebration in the window of Westminster city hall. But I just wonder if the Easter one is going up very soon? Easter is one of the most important Christian festivals of the year but what are [the Labour-run municipal government] doing to celebrate it?” he asked.

“I am not aware they are. I suspect the window display is not going to change.”

Some have also noted the Ramadan decorations are going up at a time when London is gripped by anti-Israel protests every weekend, with some featuring open calls for jihad.

Outrage as Islamic Star and Crescent Flown From London’s Iconic Westminster Abbey.

Pakistan’s national flag, which features the Islamic star and crescent, flew over London’s Westminster Abbey this week, sparking controversy and eliciting angry reactions from across the country.

The flag was allegedly flown to celebrate “Pakistan Day,” which honors the passing of the Lahore Resolution, which marked the call for a separate Muslim nation within the British Indian Empire in 1940, and the adoption of its first constitution in 1956, declaring itself the world’s first Islamic republic. In addition to flying the Pakistani flag, a special service was held inside the Abbey, attended by officials from the Pakistan High Commission.

Observers online questioned the gesture, citing Pakistan’s harsh blasphemy laws and documented persecution of Christians, bringing up instances of mass kidnappings of Christian youth who are pushed into forced marriage and extensive violence against Churches on celebration days. Individuals voiced their alarm about the seeming endorsement of a nation where Christians can face violence, threats, and intimidation.

Pakistanis are the second-largest ethnic minority group in the UK, accounting for a vast proportion of the country’s Muslim citizens. Heavily Pakistani-populated enclaves of Britain have a reputation as Muslim ‘no-go zones.’ Controversial London Mayor Sadiq Khan is Pakistani, as is Scotland’s equally controversial First Minister Humza Yousaf. Both are known for their friendly stance towards radical Islamism and alleged anti-Semitic tendencies.

Scotland’s Cops Are Giving Up on Crime, Shifting Almost All Focus to ‘Hate Speech.’

Law enforcement in Scotland, governed by the Glasgow-born Pakistani separatist Humza Yousaf, will stop investigating certain crimes to free up resources at the same time as Scottish police will begin investigating any and all “hate” incidents under new anti-free speech laws.

The scheme follows a pilot program in the city of Aberdeen and is expected to see tens of thousands fewer crimes allocated to front-line officers, with investigations never going past call center workers in some cases.

Police Scotland has not confirmed exactly which crimes it will not bother investigating, as this would give criminals a “tactical advantage,” but has previously admitted some forms of criminal damage and theft will be included.

Meanwhile, the Hate Crime Act set to come into force on April 1 will see police required to action all alleged “hate” incidents, including offensive online comments and even comedy shows.

The ill-defined legislation makes merely “stirring up hatred” a crime, with police training guidance suggesting people can be arrested for offensive statements “for example on a sign, on the internet through websites, blogs, podcasts, social media etc, either directly, or by forwarding or repeating material that originates from a third party, through printed media such as magazine publications or leaflets.”

Yousaf‘s left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP) has admitted the Hate Crime Act will impose “additional demand” on police, resulting in a “resource implication.”

Farage Explains Why He Won’t Go to His Local Church.

Nigel Farage, a key figure in the Brexit movement and founder of Reform UK, announced that he no longer attends church due to what he perceives as the Church of England’s capitulation to the so-called ‘woke‘ agenda.

“I won’t go to my local church, I won’t go. I am christened and confirmed in the Church of England, all my family on both sides have been Church of England,” Farage said during an interview with GB News. “I used to believe in it, I used to attend, not every Sunday but regularly during the year, I will not go. It is hopeless, they’ve given up, they’ve surrendered,” he continued.

Farage‘s comments follow calls from Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeaconess of Liverpool, for “anti-whiteness” and to “smash the patriarchy.” Farage noted that Ms. Threlfall-Homes represents everything wrong with ‘wokeness’ and the Church of England today. “Her name sums it up, I don’t know her personally but I’ll have a bet she’s upper middle class, completely detached from reality,” Farage said.

Farage also criticized the contemporary Church of England’s obsession with slavery and ‘atoning’ for it. “On slavery can I remind everybody that today is the 217th anniversary of the passing of the Abolition of Slavery Act as it became, in parliament,” he noted. “When it comes to this issue. You’d think to listen to some of our lefties, that we are the only country that ever practiced it. No, far from it. Slavery persists to this day. We as a nation have done more to stop slavery than any other nation in the history of our earth.”

UK ‘Green’ Policies Could Spark Food Shortages.

British farmers are warning that the UK government’s Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) could spark food shortages. The SFI program rewards practices supporting environmental sustainability but may incentivize farmers to use less land to grow food crops.

Due to the SFI, Northamptonshire farmer Stephen Holt shifted from oil seeds and bean crops to legume cover, which benefits soil health and insect pollinators but is not part of the food harvest. With increases in input prices and falling arable prices, Holt warns that the SFI subsidies may lead to a notable contraction in domestic farming output. “The huge danger… is there will be a severe contraction in domestic agricultural output,” he said.

Another farmer, James Williams, is taking roughly 30 percent of his land out of agricultural use, underlining the danger SFI poses if his practice were adopted nationally. If other farmers follow his lead, the implications for the UK food supply are “only too obvious,” he said.

Conservative MP Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg echoed the farmers’ concerns. “The green ideology seeks to make us not only cold and poor, but also hungry. It makes no economic or social sense and needs to stop,” Rees-Mogg told the Daily Express.

A government spokeswoman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) defended the policy. “Our schemes pay farmers to take actions that improve the environment, but they have profitability and food production at their core. We are committed to continuing to produce at least 60 percent of the food we consume in the UK,” she said.

However, the experience of farmers like Holt and Williams suggests that the government’s policies pose a significant risk to UK food production, which is already under strain. Earlier this month, farmers warned bad weather and poor harvests could spark a potato shortage.

Anglican Priestess Declares ‘Let’s Have Anti-Whiteness and Smash the Patriarchy.’

Archdeaconess Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, a senior priestess in the Church of England, has called publicly for more “anti-whiteness.”

Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeaconess of Liverpool, issued a call to “smash the patriarchy” in the same social media post, reflecting on the lessons of a race ideology conference she attended.

“I went to a conference on whiteness last autumn. It was very good, very interesting and made me realise: whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender,” she wrote on X.

“So yes, let’s have anti whiteness, [and] let’s smash the patriarchy,” she added, insisting this was “not anti-white, or anti-men, it’s anti-oppression.”

Since issuing her rallying cry, Threlfall-Holmes has used her X account to post about apples and getting new glasses but has been notably silent on Palm Sunday, Holy Monday, and other Christian holidays leading to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

The Church of England, which is the mother church of the Anglican Communion, including the Episcopal Church in the Unted States has become increasingly woke in recent years.

While Church attendance is collapsing and Church buildings are falling into disrepair, it is spending lavishly on hiring “racial justice enablers” — white people are excluded by the job description — and establishing nine-figure funds to finance slavery reparations.

Court Delays Julian Assange’s Extradition to U.S.

England’s High Court has delayed the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States, giving the Joe Biden regime three weeks to provide assurances that the Australian will not face the death penalty before deciding whether or not he can lodge an appeal.

Dame Victoria Sharp and Mr Justice Johnson also demanded assurances from U.S authorities that Assange will be extended the same First Amendment protections as a U.S. citizen — despite the United Kingdom lacking similar free speech protections.

The courts will allow Assange to file a new appeal if the Biden regime fails to provide these assurances, with a hearing set for May 20 to determine whether the assurances provided, if any, are satisfactory.

Assange has been in a form of detention since 2010, when he took refuge in London’s Ecuadorean Embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden to face dubious sexual assault charges.

The British authorities continued to stake out the embassy even after these charges were dropped, seeking to arrest him for the minor offense of skipping bail. Following a change of government in Ecuador, Assange was ejected from the embassy, and he has been fighting extradition to the U.S. ever since.

REPORT: British Army Would Run Out of Munitions 10 Days Into a Full War.

In a recent parliamentary session, former armed forces minister John Spellar said the British army would deplete its munitions in only ten days during a full-fledged war.

“The minister rightly speaks about the ability to sustain fighting, he knows that an exercise conducted with the Americans showed that the British Army would run out of munitions within ten days,” said Spellar.

Although current armed forces minister James Heappey insisted that Britain’s “armed forces remain fearsome,” he admitted that the “armed forces do need reinvestment in their ability to sustain themselves at a war-fighting level.” Heappey continued: “[W]e’re now in a pre-war era and so it’s the responsibility of this Government and those who follow to reinvest in that necessary war-fighting capability.”

Spellar’s and Heappey’s comments come as the UK — along with numerous other nations, including the U.S. — has been supplying significant amounts of munitions to Ukraine to sustain its war with Russia. The British Army’s lack of preparedness for a full-scale war could become a serious problem for the country, as Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that continued NATO interference in Ukraine could spark a war.
