The Uniparty ‘at work’ …
There are some newsy ‘news’ today which are of interest because the ‘Red Wing’ of the Uniparty seems missing in action, either because the MSM didn’t ask or because they’re on holidays. Firstly, see the headline produced by ‘staff’ this morning: “Newspaper headlines: Protesters on Sunak’s roof and UK economy ‘in a trap’.” (link).
The Express, Metro, DM and even the grauniad have this Sunak ‘protest’ on their front pages. Yes, it’s the usual crew, ‘Just Oil’, and so it’s no surprise that the Labour Red Top, the Mirror, is not reporting. After all, why would they attack the supproters of Starmer … It is however strange that ‘staff’ didn’t pick up the report in the DT, headlined:
“NHS goes private in biggest expansion of sector since Blair – Independent firms to carry out hundreds of thousands of scans and tests as ministers vow to cut record waiting lists” (paywalled link)
Shouldn’t there have been areal outcry from Labour, not just an obligatory quote from Labour’s shadow minister, saying that they’d have ‘gone further’ than the Tories who ought to’ve acted sooner, with Labour supporters asking now ‘what took the Tories so long?
It’s a valid question, especially since those of us who can recall the covid years remember how the Sacred Cow demanded – and paid for – beds in private hospitals which had all been closed down in expectation of the whole of the UK keeling over. And now this (emphases are mine):
“Private sector firms will be asked to operate community diagnostic centres for NHS patients, starting with eight units carrying out more than 400,000 scans, checks and tests a year. Across the country, such companies will be asked to identify all spare capacity, enabling the NHS to send patients facing long waits to private hospitals that can treat them more quickly.” (paywalled link)
Perhaps Labour is hoping that this might finally lead to nationalising all private hospitals.
Next, there’s the ongoing banking scandal. It’s wonderful that ‘ESF’ – “Ever Since Farage” – some intrepid investigative ‘authors’ are finding out that more cancellations were taking place. Perhaps this: “Jeremy Hunt asks financial watchdog to report on extent of debanking – A threat to your bank account is a threat to freedom of speech, the chancellor says” (link, paywalled) has concentrated some minds in the Westminster MSM newsrooms?
Perhaps it was the report in the DT, headlined “Gun clubs’ accounts shut as banks ‘cancel the countryside’ – Firms accused of treating shooting groups ‘like criminals’ as latest example of de-banking increases pressure for ministers to take action” (paywalled link) which got them interested? The DT at least had someone doing some digging:
“A third of shooting businesses have had their accounts suddenly closed down, research has shown, with major high street banks including HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds and NatWest among those named as having refused accounts or credit to businesses linked to the rural pursuit. It comes after The Telegraph revealed that hunts have been banned from taking card payments through major financial services firm SumUp.” (paywalled link)
Well, that won’t be of interest to the Red Wing of the Uniparty. After all, posh people who can go hunting (boo hiss) and shooting (double boo hiss) need their activities curtailed!
Meanwhile, there are the first green shoots of ‘concern’ about the economy. It’s still a bit disjointed but will surely provide material for the weekend editions and ‘opinion makers’. This is about the economy which is in deep trouble, with the BoE predicting more pain for consumers.
Yesterday evening there was a tear-jerk article in the DM about the horrors of homeowners now faced with an increase in their mortgage payments (link). I found the numbers bandied around a bit unconvincing, but what do I know … This morning we’re treated to an ‘outlook’ by the BoE, and never mind their announcement to rise interest rates even further:
“The era of cheap food is over, economists have said, after the Bank of England forecast that prices would remain high for the rest of the year. The Bank predicted that food price inflation would fall from 17.3 per cent but still be at about 10 per cent by the end of the year. It conceded that food price inflation had remained high for “longer than anyone expected”.” (link, paywalled)
That’s certainly bad enough. I wonder though if this statement is meant to provide a handy excuse for businesses to keep prices high, especially when I read this next:
“The Bank said that while costs for food producers had fallen, they remained higher than normal, while many companies also faced increasing wages and high energy bills. Many businesses would not benefit from the reduction in wholesale gas prices until their energy contracts came up for renewal, which was not likely to be until the autumn for many smaller ones.” (link, paywalled)
Why aren’t there headlines about wholesale gas prices being reduced? Where is the demand from government that gas and energy firms reduce their household energy bills immediately, certainly before autumn? Are private households, are consumers, going to have to bear the burden of high energy costs while said firms still rake in money ‘because: contracts!!’? Where is Labour? Don’t they have ‘economists’? Are they hoping that, by keeping silent now, people will become more desperate and thus flock to Labour? How despicable is that!
I find it noteworthy that the Westminster MSM seem to be uninterested in getting Labour spokespeople to make statements about these issues. We’ll see if Labour Shadow ministers will come up with some articles and statements for the weekend. They can’t all be on holidays, can they? Holidays are now only for the posh rich, after all.
That’s all I have for today. It looks as if the Uniparty regards the economy as an ‘Act of God’ which just happens and which they can do nothing about – except fleece us peasants ‘until the pips squeak’, as a famous Labour Chancellor once said. Have a good day.

Yes I know it’s another damn petition, but it makes me feel better that I am trying to p*** off someone in the Welsh Taliban.
With regard to the ‘Red Wing’ of the Uniparty, it is more likely that they don’t care……
Ultimately related to this article if not obviously and directly. Here’s a disturbing video about the Swiss government’s Host State Act, it offers immunity and protection for so far the WEF, GAVI and the UN.
“Swiss Nazi Jesuit Safe Haven Act to protect UN, WHO, WEF, Gavi, Gates Foundation…”

That photo of the Commons must have been taken on a day when they were debating something really momentous for the fate of Britain and its citizens-: eg whether it’s a good idea to give the WHO untrammelled power over us, to force vaccination or internment on us? Or Andrew Bridgen’s discussion re vaccine injuries: as my MP said, “MP’s have more important things to attend to that the ravings of conspiracy theorists like him.” Or the treatment being inflicted on the nation’s children.
But if they were going to vote on a Pay Rise for MP’s , it would have been jam packed…
Back on the subject of Farage’s debanking: just came across an interesting piece by Rodney Atkinson who warned long ago about the dangers of corporatism. I sometimes speculate how UKIP could have fared under his leadership: but then voters always prefer someone with “charisma” (huh) over someone without it but who therefore wouldn’t have been given a chance, regardless of their merits.

Mary………I am afraid it doesn’t what a party might be called whether it be the UK independence Party or any other, a leader has to have a sort of presence, a personality, charisma, call it what you will, and the ability to articulate a message in a fairly straight forward manner which can be readily understood by the average man/woman in the street. Farage had this in bucket loads, whereas Henry Bolton for instance had absolutely none. I tuned into Dan Wootton on GB News this week and one of his panellists was Bolton, and nothing much had changed since his UKIP leadership days. Still rambles on, taking ages to make a point with too many clumsy words and sentences, and ends up being cut off, whilst Farage is succinct and to the point and is interesting.
Good article.
We currently have disparate snipers all over the place, all good people independently making good points, randomly blowing up narratives here and there. But nothing will change until all the splinter groups and folk on the right put their egos aside, stop fighting each other and each contribute their best skill, and they all have different strengths and angles, to fighting the real enemy. An army needs a whole range of skills that don’t each seek to put themselves at the front, but jointly support a unified campaign. It’s not going to happen.
75% of the rioters arrested in France have been found to come from single parent families or social care. I believe there was a high proportion of single parent youth involved in our own riots of 2011. The Marxist attack on the ‘bourgeois’ family that intensified in the sixties has borne fruit assisted by ‘progressive’ education.
That the shame or stigma of single parenthood, in the sense of conceiving out of wedlock, is more or less removed may be a good thing but the effect of the absence of a father figure has not been removed. Desertion, particularly before divorce laws were liberalised, was always a problem. It’s the scale of it that has changed and to a level that alters society.
Proverbs 23:22 “Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.” Sound advice – the ancients knew a thing or two – but increasingly there is no father present to hearken to.
Proverbs 29:15 “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” The rod is out of fashion in the family (and also in society but seems to work in the low crime society of Singapore) but reproof is still needed. The indiscipline in schools and culture of entitlement and victimhood the left promote undermines any attempt at reproof by single mothers.
It is feckless fathers that need bringing to shame. My guess is it would take about ten years of a truly conservative government to do that.
Absent father’s who have allegedly had upto 8 children to five different woman and are kept by the state are truly feckless..
For example a certain Mr Boris Johnson.
