Farage Catching Up to Sir Keir!. Content Warning.
Since Kemi Badenoch became Conservative leader two months ago there has been no Tory bounce. And why would there be? People endured 14 years of Tory failure which hurt so many people. Especially hurt were those at the bottom of the pile and people have long memories. If the Tories think as they have arrogantly said "We are the natural party of government" and if the latest YouGov poll is to be believed, they have another thing coming!

2025 Should Be Calm for Politics?
What a momentous year UK politics and world politics have been. We had the general election in July. Rishi 'Wishy Washy' Sunak and his Conservatives after 14 years were booted out of office. People wanted change and Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour Party won a huge election victory! Starmer's victory was likened to Tony Blair's victory in 1997. The Labour right or at least the centre ground of the Labour Party is back in control. Labour gained a 400-odd majority. The Tories were reduced to 121 seats, the Lib Dems gained 72, Reform UK 5, and the Greens 3.

Badenoch Became Working Class?. Content Warning.
When Kemi Badenoch became the first black female leader of a political party, the Tories felt so cosy inside. They had a warm glow saying "Look how inclusive we are a female leader and a black one to boot"! However, don't be fooled, identity politics is not for Ms. Badenoch. She is a darling of the right and you would be foolish to think otherwise.
