"Rest in piss" Bluesky, the home where leftists make death threats and organize violent riots, is also where they are praising the m—rder of 78-year-old English conservative politician-activist and Reform spokeswoman @AnnWiddecomb.

🚨BREAKING: The messages Ann Widdecombe exchanged with a Channel 5 worker moments before her murder

It really is extraordinary the extent to which the EU has alienated the great powers and its own flanking powers. Every time I make this point, I have EUphiles commenting angrily about how that's everybody else's fault. But there comes a stage where if everybody thinks you're an unpleasant person to deal with you have to start wondering whether it really is their fault afterall. The EU, of course, still hasn't reached that stage. Thus, having: (1) alienated Turkey, (2) lost Britain from the Union and being only one change of government away from very frosty relations, (3) presided over a total breakdown of relations with Russia, (4) having increasingly fractious relations with Serbia and Switzerland, (5) breaking relations with Georgia because they didn't like an election result there, (6) having increasingly strained relations with the US, and (7) now infuriating the Chinese by trying to pressure them using trade leverage (see the Chinese view of its own history as to why this is so tone deaf) — they still just blame everybody else for being in the wrong. They also wonder why they are losing economic competitiveness. Oh, I don't know, could it be because you cut off cheap energy from Russia, showed no flexibility with Britain, are consistently entering trade squabbles with China, and can't reach a deal with the US? The right will still claim it's green energy policies. Lolz!! Until they get past the arrogance, hubris and conceit that blinds them, the downward trend will continue.


AN APOLOGY I was seriously wrong and insensitive in one of the several media appearances I made yesterday in reaction to the death of Ann Widdecombe. I got the timing and tone of my initial word portrait of her wrong. Of course I shared, and share, the horror at her murder and the respect for her remarkable and feisty political career. I also know that many people loved her for her subsequent showbiz stardom. Her untimely death is a horrible thing. My mistaken view was that in the context of rolling news coverage, I was being asked to contribute as an obituarist who has known her and interacted with her since the 1980s. This approach was premature. At no point was I expressing my personal feelings about her, that's not what I do. I was discussing her life in the round, based on the record of known facts and what she has said about herself, along with some recollections of our personal interactions. My choice of words on the spur of the moment was clumsy. I did not intend to offend though obviously I did.








I’m sorry @ThatAlexWoman you clearly do not know what’s going on. I was involved in the discussion as to whether or not Restore Britain should stand in Clacton, and there was no collusion. None. It was an entirely independent decision. When people with public reach make claims of collusion, implying you have inside knowledge as you are doing, when you do not, you are misinforming and therefore harming British democracy.
