To England, where five months after the last general election two and a half million adults (sic) have signed a petition calling for another one. Succesfully. It will be held in four years and seven months’ time. The campaign began because Labour didn’t restore prosperity in their first twenty weeks. Rumours that the petition was a ruse by an autograph hunter who specialises in simpleton signatures were not laid to rest when Reform UK threw its collective intellectual weight behind it. Labour only have themselves to blame. By annihilating the Tories at the ballot box, they killed the goose that laid the golden tractor porn eggs. Without Randox, or Chris Pincher, or shell PPE companies, or Partygate, or a vision, all they seem to offer are tax rises and warm words about Blackrock. Ideologically, this leaves them more exposed than Peter Bone talking to a junior staffer. Enter stage far-right, goosestepping, Reform UK and their cartoon Tory clones who hawk uncontested narratives about imaginary threats posed by refugees, experts and – er – trans people. The near and present dangers of climate catastrophe are meanwhile rejected. Never, they say, let the truth get in the way of a good story. In a world where mothballed Thunderbirds extra Richard Tice can become a political figure, it seems that voters are unwilling to let it get in the way of a crap one too. Insurance giant AXA has just published data which say that Tice’s constituency is the second most exposed to global warming in the UK. It’s a catchy stat, but not so catchy as Tice’s mantra that ‘Net Zero equals Net Stupid’. Perhaps the 4000 householders in Boston and Skegness who are at risk of submersion will chant this next time they’re baling turd-filled floodwater from their living rooms. Apologies, the alt text box has run out of space. Pls DM me if you were reading this way and I'll forward the rest!
