WorldbyStorm - 12:40 Thu Jan 15, 2026 So there we have it, Jenrick out, expelled from the shadow cabinet and suspended from the Tories after ‘irrefutable’ proof he was about to defect – presumably to Reform. Kind of messy stuff, not sure it plays terribly well. And it’s odd too that Jenrick would decide to go to a party, should he do … Continue reading "A Reform question asked, and answered"
WorldbyStorm - 09:57 Thu Jan 15, 2026 Here’s something I noticed this year – literature from local councillors was thin on the ground, to the point of invisibility. I’d say that the local Fine Gaeler was most prominent, then a couple of pieces from one or two others. Was wondering about that. There were the Locals a year and a half ago … Continue reading "Local politics"
WorldbyStorm - 09:56 Thu Jan 15, 2026 A point made to me yesterday was that Reform is descending in the polls. It’s pretty marked since October last year to today. Consider the graph here on wiki. And there’s a bit of a Tory revival, leaving Labour in third place. And that line is fairly starkly falling. So, there’s Labour, on 19/20%, Green … Continue reading "Same old Tory?"
guestposter - 18:56 Wed Jan 14, 2026 Well, even at the start of the second Trump term never envisaged this: The Greenlandic government has increased stepping up the military presence ?in and around? Greenland as the territory moves to conduct exercises with the Danish and other Nato allies to work on securing the Arctic. In a statement, published on its website, the government said the aim … Continue reading "That’s a lot of deployments to Greenland"
WorldbyStorm - 11:09 Wed Jan 14, 2026 Interesting this: More than 300 Metropolitan police officers and staff have obeyed an order to tell their bosses if they are members of hierarchical organisations such as the Freemasons, the high court has heard. Britain?s largest force announced the policy last month and it has met fierce opposition from bodies representing Masons. They have taken legal action to … Continue reading "The Freemasons, ?hierarchical? societies and London?s Metropolitan Police"
WorldbyStorm - 10:54 Wed Jan 14, 2026 Handy this from LBC, a list of the more prominent defectors from the Conservative Party, Britain?s former government. It’s striking how relatively few there are. Then again it’s essential to keep in mind that Reform, for all its polling strength, has just 5 MPs, 1 ‘Lord’, 1 member of the Scottish Parliament, 1 member of … Continue reading "Those Tory defections to Reform"
WorldbyStorm - 09:21 Wed Jan 14, 2026 Expect a lot more of this in the next few months ahead of the elections in Wales this May (and other contests that month too). As noted in comments yesterday by Paul Culloty, a poll by ITV on voting intentions in Wales offers this: Note Reform has dropped substantially. Note too that Plaid Cymru is … Continue reading "Senedd voting intentions" |
