An analysis you might not care to read

 ... let alone agree with … this was at the top of Lord Toby’s newsletter this morning:

“Nigel Farage has begged Keir Starmer not to quit today, quipping he’s the “greatest asset we’ve got”, as Labour’s catastrophic local election bloodbath prompts fresh calls for the PM to go. The Mail has more.”

Right … I don’t necessarily mean the difference in narcissistic arrogance between Farage and Lowe … you saw both reactions to their victories but I do ask which of the two seems closer to Starmer’s arrogance?

Also remember the footage in parlmt a year or so ago when, during a break, Starmer crossed the floor to chat with Farage, they embraced at one point, Nige was right chuffed. Do those two embrace and love Rupert to the same degree?

All right, what does it all signify? Many pundits, inc. the MSM, see Farage as PM, inc. Starmer coming out and saying it. Also, he’s not going to resign and “plunge the country into chaos” … not yet at any rate … neither is “ready”.

At the same time, Lady Julia was saying her district in London went Labour. I asked if that was the imported vote, she said … not all. In other words, there is a problem with the indigenous too who just can’t see or choose not to.

Yes, there’s certainly that mode but I’m not sure that that completely explains it. I don’t even mean “politically dumb”, under the control of the MSM … it’s not only that.

Last evening, I explored this word I hear from downunder … Teals … apparently a political grouping but why the colour teal, more associated with old Brexit Party here? The “respectable right”, let’s say, whilst hardheads here tend more Restore … dark navy, meaning truly conservative?

Well, ggl Teals and it’s illuminating. It says that they’re “fiscally conservative” but socially … well my interpretation is Woke left, in dogooder, nicely nice ways behind the clipped lawns, the herbaceous borders. Much NIMBYism … demand people take invaders into their “spare” bedrooms but of course not in their district please. Quite similar to Martha’s Vineyard across the pond. Aspirationally upper middle, the Teals’ only MPs are feminist women, with hubbies with “good” jobs in the city.

One of this type was once my spouse and I’ll say this … we never truly fought the entire time … there were silences of course. So I do know Conservative women, if not small c … many was our pool party on the patio. There’s one in the better part of town over in my “hometown” across the Pennines.

They would never vote Restore … a farmer? Town and country, don’t forget. Nice city boy Nige is far more their flavour. But Nige is being groomed for office, right? By the PTB? Would you not say so? And his politics is downunder type or Martha’s Vineyard type Teal. I’m scrambling for the word here and can only come up with the term “upper middle aspirant”.

Nowt wrong with aspirations, dreams, doing the best we can … but while completely unaware of what’s going down? Not wishing to know? Until it’s all taken away?
