‘Pack It In!’ – Kassam Blasts ‘Splitters’ on the Right, Urges Focus on the Real Enemy.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has warned against “splitters” driving a wedge between the populist right in Britain over Tommy Robinson. His intervention follows Elon Musk, who previously backed Reform and met with party leader Nigel Farage at Mar-a-Lago, calling for the Brexiteer to be ousted over his refusal to support Tommy Robinson.

“I’m friends with both of those men; I have been for a long time. I talk to them both very frankly about it, and I’ve fallen out with both of them about talking to the other one,” Kassam said on The Charlie Kirk Show.

“But what I say is this: the people who have been critical of Nigel over the last couple of days because he doesn’t want to be allied with Tommy Robinson… This is not the time to be watching a party, the only political movement that could surge and replace the Tories and Labour, and trying to drive a wedge through the political right,” he stressed.

“The people doing that, I regard as splitters, I regard it as contrary to the greater cause, and I just think, this is a fight that the establishment, the EU, Davos, and the left, absolutely love, and we just all need to pack it in.”

Reform established a parliamentary beachhead in Britain’s July 2024 snap election, and polls now show it tying and occasionally outpacing the incumbent Labour Party and the Conservatives (Tories), who governed from 2010 to mid-2024.

Multiple high-profile Conservatives are defecting to the insurgent party, which is more authentic to conservative principles.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Gains ANOTHER Big Defection.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has welcomed a former Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) known for being tough on illegal immigration and a challenger of woke dogma. Marco Longhi becomes the third defector in as many months to Farage’s party, which is exploding in the polls.

Longhi—who represented the Dudley North constituency (electoral district) from 2019 to 2024—announced his shift, criticizing the current direction of the Conservative Party, describing it as “unrecognizable” compared to its former days under leaders like Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.

“The Conservative Party I once identified with—the party of Churchill and Thatcher—has transformed into something unrecognizable, captured by a left-wing influence that masquerades as conservatism at election time while prioritizing the wishes of an elite few when in power,” he said, saying he would not be part of this “uniparty drift.”

A staunch Conservative, Longhi penned a letter to the Telegraph newspaper in 2020, slamming the “woke agenda” and cultural Marxism. He also confronted former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who resigned after a sex abuse coverup last year, on his support for illegal immigration. Longhi questioned the former Archbishop in 2022 on why he was against a plan to remove asylum seekers to Rwanda, asking if he would house illegals in his own palaces.

Reform has attracted several defectors from the Conservatives, including billionaire donor Nick Candy as treasurer and former Conservative MP Aidan Burley.

Internationally, tech billionaire Elon Musk has expressed support for Reform after meeting with Farage and Candy in Florida late last year.

$4.3 Billion ‘UK Disneyland’ Project Canceled… Because of Rare Spiders!?

A British version of Disneyland, estimated to cost over $4.3 billion, has been canceled after 14 years of planning due to a Kuwaiti businessman’s bankruptcy and the green agenda. Plans for ‘The London Resort’ were first announced nearly 14 years ago. The resort was expected to rival Disneyland Paris in size and visitors.

Promoters initially secured partnerships with major organizations such as the BBC, ITV, and Paramount Pictures. Proposed attractions included themes from popular franchises such as Top Gear, Paddington Bear, Mission: Impossible, and Doctor Who. The park’s design featured eight roller coasters, medieval castles, an Aztec pyramid, a 2,000-seat theater, and a nightclub. The project was anticipated to provide 30,000 jobs and attract 12 million visitors annually, with a planned opening in 2024.

However, financial issues and environmental concerns led to the project bogging down. The accumulation of over $123 million in debt and Natural England’s designation of the site as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) were critical factors in the decision to abandon the endeavor. Natural England, a government body, claimed the location’s previous industrial use created favorable conditions for various wildlife species, such as jumping spiders.

Paramount, an investor owed millions, alleged financial misrepresentation linked to Kuwaiti businessman Abdulla al-Humaidi, who declared bankruptcy last year. Al-Humaidi had invested nearly $50 million of his family’s funds into the project.

Along with costing the estimated 30,000 jobs and millions of dollars of tourist cash the park was set to bring in, environmental regulations in the United Kingdom have also been predicted to spark food shortages. British farmers warned in March last year that government “sustainable” farming policies incentivized farmers to use less land to grow crops.

Some green agenda advocates have even told Britons to stop heating their homes to meet carbon emission targets.

King Charles Has Revoked the Royal Warrants of These Companies After Aggressive Ukraine Lobby Effort.

Britain’s King Charles III has withdrawn royal warrants from Unilever and Cadbury, ending their recognition as suppliers to the Royal Family after criticism that both still conduct business in Russia. The decision, described by Cadbury as “disappointing,” was reported last week following the release of the second set of warrants during King Charles’ reign.

Royal warrants are given to companies that regularly provide goods or services to the royal household and allow these companies to display the Royal Arms on their products. Unilever, which owns brands like Dove, Ben & Jerry’s, Hellmann’s, and Mondelez, Cadbury’s parent company, received no specific explanation for the removals. According to the Royal Family’s website, warrants may not be renewed if the quality or supply of products or services is found lacking.

However, this change comes amid ongoing criticism from Ukraine’s government over these companies’ business activities in Russia. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, both Unilever and Mondelez have continued operations in Russia.

In June, the activist group B4Ukraine addressed an open letter to King Charles, urging him to withdraw royal warrants from companies including Mondelez and Unilever, alleging their presence in Russia is prolonging the conflict in Ukraine.

In response to the warrant cancellations, Mondelez expressed disappointment but respect for the decision, emphasizing pride in its long history of holding the royal warrant. Unilever similarly highlighted its longstanding service to the royal household and previous recognition by Queen Elizabeth II.

If a UK Election Were Held Today, Farage’s Reform Party Would Win 14 Times The Number of Seats It Has Now.

An analysis by the More in Common think tank suggests significant losses for the ruling UK Labour Party if an election were held today. Despite securing a victory under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer less than six months ago, Labour is now projected to lose a whopping 200 parliamentary seats, largely influenced by the rise of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. The data says Labour would win a mere 228 seats, a sharp decline from the 411 the party achieved in the recent election.

The study, conducted for London’s Sunday Times, indicates that seven current cabinet ministers, including Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, would be unseated, with six losing to Reform candidates. Other key figures, such as Defence Secretary John Healey, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, and Health Secretary Wes Streeting, are similarly projected to lose their seats.

Labour’s projected seat count falls below the 326 needed for a majority, which would lead to a ‘hung parliament’ and the need for a coalition government. Even a partnership with the Liberal Democrats, expected to secure 58 seats, would still not suffice for a majority.

Reform UK currently holds five seats but is predicted to gain significantly, reaching 72 and becoming the third-largest party in the House of Commons. The survey indicates growing momentum for Reform, with notable support in regions such as South Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.

Public sentiment appears pessimistic regarding the Labour government’s prospects, with only 23 percent of Britons optimistic about improvements under Starmer’s leadership. Concerns persist over potential leadership changes, though the British system would facilitate an internal party selection without triggering a national election.

HISTORIC: Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Passed the ‘Conservatives’ in Public Membership.

Reform UK, directed by Brexit leader Nigel Farage, has officially surpassed the UK’s Conservative Party in public membership numbers, marking an historic inflection point in British politics. As of Thursday morning, Reform UK reported 132,200 members, pulling ahead of the Conservative Party’s last recorded figure of 131,680 from November.

Farage, who returned to politics in blockbuster fashion this summer, expressed pride in the achievement, stating, “Reform UK has overtaken the oldest political party in the world.” He declared that Reform UK now stands as the official opposition to the governing Labour Party, with membership numbers still rising.

The rapid increase in membership numbers was displayed on a live ticker projecting the growth rate.

Farage’s leadership and the party’s expansion have once again upended UK political dynamics, which have long been dominated by the establishment Conservative and Labour parties.

Immigration Riots: One in Six Arrested Were Children, Data Reveals.

New data suggests that at least one in six people arrested in Britain’s anti-mass migration protests and riots earlier this year were children. The riots erupted after three young girls—Alice da Silva Aguiar, age nine, Bebe King, age six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, age seven—were stabbed to death during a dance class in Southport, England, on July 30. Several others were wounded in the attack, allegedly by Axel Rudakubana, born in Wales to African migrant parents.

An investigation utilizing data from 32 police forces identified 1,233 arrests, 219 involving individuals under 18. Thirteen police forces did not provide figures. Public order offenses were the predominant reason for arrests, accounting for over 700 cases of unrest-related detentions. Other charges included 69 for assault, 45 for theft and burglary, 38 for possession of weapons, 32 related to drugs, and 19 for so-called malicious communications, such as sharing “grossly offensive” social media posts.

Figures from the National Police Chiefs’ Council indicate that fully 1,711 arrests have been made since the events in Southport.

One of the children arrested in the wake of the protests and riots was just 12 years old, arrested for participating in a riot in Southport shortly after the killings took place. Another 12-year-old was arrested in Manchester and pleaded guilty to charges of violent disorder.

Several others have also pleaded guilty to various charges and have received hefty prison sentences for as little as shouting at police chanting slogans like “Who the f*ck is Allah?”

One of the men jailed, grandfather Peter Lynch, took his own life in prison after being sentenced to two years and eight months.

Months after the killings, it was revealed that the suspected killer was in possession of al-Qaeda training material, despite the authorities initially ruling out terrorism as a motive.

One in Five Tory Voters Defect to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party: Poll.

Polling suggests that more and more Conservative (Tory) Party voters are ready to back Brexit leader Nigel Farage and his populist Reform Party, with one in five Tories defecting. A Techne UK poll has highlighted the shift among voters.

The Conservative Party, led by Nigeria-raised Kemi Badenoch, has seen a slight increase in support, reaching 26 percent in the last week—just 1 percent behind the ruling Labour Party, which holds steady at 27 percent. However, 22 percent of voters who previously backed the Conservatives in the July election have now switched allegiance to Farage’s Reform Party.

Reform concludes the year with a 21 percent support level, showing a competitive position as it draws votes from the Tories. Previous polls have shown the party ahead of Labour.

Another key finding in the latest poll is that Reform holds a lead among voters who chose to leave the European Union (EU) in the 2016 Brexit referendum, capturing 38 percent compared to the Conservatives’ 36 percent.

Farage and Reform have also attracted attention from businessmen in recent weeks, including billionaire Nick Candy. Candy recently announced he will donate a seven-figure sum to Reform and become the party’s treasurer in the new year.

Tech mogul Elon Musk has also expressed interest in and support for Reform, meeting with Farage and Candy at President-elect Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, this month.

In response, Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has threatened to change political finance rules to prevent Musk from financially supporting Farage.

Trump Team Unhappy with UK Govt Choosing Epstein-Linked ‘Moron’ as Ambassador to USA.

Far-left British premier Sir Keir Starmer‘s choice of Lord Peter Mandelson to serve as Ambassador to the United States is off to a poor start, with President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inner circle taking issue with his past criticism of the America First leader. “This UK govt is special,” wrote the President-elect’s senior campaign advisor, Chris LaCivita, on X.

“[R]eplace a professional universally respected Ambo with an absolute moron – he should stay home! SAD!” LaCivita added, noting that Mandelson previously described President-elect Trump as “a danger to the world and ‘little short of a white nationalist.'”

Lord Mandelson is not a career diplomat, but a Labour Party politician with a long history of scandal. He was forced to resign from Tony Blair’s government in disgrace twice, but continued to be offered high-powered jobs, with Blair sending him to Brussels to serve as the British representative on the European Commission, the unelected executive of the European Union. His time there was also marred by accusations of impropriety, but once his term expired, he was returned to government for a third time by Blair’s successor, Gordon Brown—and given a seat for life in the House of Lords.

In addition to his harsh criticism of Trump, Mandelson’s close personal relationship with notorious American pedophile Jeffrey Epstein makes him a particularly controversial choice for Ambassador to the U.S. Mandelson maintained his relationship with the financier long after he was convicted of child sex offenses. He is even reported to have called Epstein while he was in prison for soliciting minors, asking him to arrange a meeting with J.P. Morgan chairman Jamie Dimon.

New Epstein-Linked UK Ambassador to USA Called Trump ‘Danger to the World.’

The United Kingdom‘s new ambassador to the United States has referred to President-elect Donald J. Trump as a “danger to the world” and claimed he was “little short of a white nationalist and a racist.” Lord Peter Mandelson, a three-time government minister for the far-left Labour Party under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, was announced this week as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer‘s pick for US ambassador.

The infamous globalist, closely linked to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, has not been shy about his views on President-elect Trump in the past, criticizing the previous Conservative government for even trying to develop relations with the America First leader during his first term in office. He once stated that Trump should “never be viewed by people in Britain as a true embodiment of or spokesman for our values.”

“What Donald Trump represents and believes is anathema to mainstream British opinion, and the idea that as a result of Brexit, we have to kowtow to an American president who holds those views will outrage people in Britain,” he claimed.

In 2018, he wrote an opinion piece stating it was “necessary to recognize Mr. Trump’s behavior for what it is: he is a bully and a mercantilist who thinks the U.S. will gain in trade only when others are losing.”

Lord Mandelson, who had to resign from Blair’s government in disgrace, is one of several prominent Labour Party politicians who have expressed disdain for Trump in recent years. For instance, Foreign Secretary David Lammy once called Trump a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and a  “tyrant.” Earlier this year, he refused to apologize for the comments but did praise Trump for arming Ukraine during his first term.

Members of the Labour Party even tried to cancel Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom in 2019, claiming he promoted misogyny and xenophobia.
