The level of hostility against the Govt and the political establishment is approaching mid-Brexit levels. Then the Queen stepped in and appealed for calm. It worked.
Her replacement I fear does not command the same levels of respect.
I also fear that the fix cannot start until it is all firmly broken.
The unthinkable in Britain is increasingly becoming thinkable.

Not in my name.
What Del Somerville did was wrong. But a 2 year prison sentence is obviously two-tier.
Why is the British state punishing protestors harder than illegal migrants who break into our county and commit appalling crimes?
Why do judges apply the principle of deterrence to sentencing protestors, and not to the illegal migrants who are terrorising women and girls across our country?
Somerville got 2 years for swearing aggressively at the police and throwing a plastic bottle towards them.
But for context:
Maqbil Dhaheri arrived on a small boat and was sentenced in April 2026 for sexually assaulting a nurse.
He escaped prison with a 12 month community order.
Hussein Almiyyahi arrived in a small boat in April 2024 and was sentenced in May 2026 for four counts of sexual assaulting three women.
He was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
Tadi Alemeyeha arrived in July 2025 and was sentenced in February 2026 for sexually assaulting a woman and then threatening to keep her silent.
He was sentenced for 18 months.
This is why the British state has a legitimacy crisis.
It exerts far more effort suppressing people’s concerns about immigration than actually fixing it.
Reform will ensure the British government actually serves the British people again.

Torsten, when you find the fool who:
😱 Voted for 330 pages of employment red tape
😱 Hiked NI costs by £25 billion
😱 Jacked up rates on businesses
do be sure to tell them precisely what you think.
Like many people across Swansea Bay, I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Admiral Insurance are to cut 500 jobs from its UK business. I’ve asked for an urgent meeting with the company to talk about what happens next - particularly in Swansea.

Meanwhile the trial for the murder of Ann Widdecombe has been scheduled for June 2027. The courts can move quickly when they want to scare people. And slowly when they want the people to forget.
Danny Tommo has been charged with criminal damage and will appear in court today - the speed of this process is absolutely astonishing.
We're told it's in the 'public interest' to pursue criminal proceedings.
All individuals are entitled to the same treatment before the law, regardless of what the establishment may think of said individual.
The pace of incident to arrest to charge to court for Danny Tommo is rapid, to say the least.
I will be watching very closely.

As the cost of AI plummets, demand will increase.
At the point of singularity where AI can design better AI then the cost presumably goes to close to zero, demand will go near infinite.
The limiting factor will be data centres. Their limiting factors are power, copper, silver, tin.
I am a luddite mining guy (albeit with an Oxford physics degree) and I am highly content with my portfolio right now!!
You wait a lifetime for an opportunity like this.

Jaguar Health - short squeeze. Relentlessly shorted - just like Northwest Biotherapeutics - and come the point where there are no more sellers does 10x in a day on massive volume.
Will MHRA approval in the UK do the same for $NWBO??? Fingers crossed!!

#China's total #tungsten product imports in August 2026 reached 5,600t, up 39% MoM from July.
Estimated metal content is 2,480t, up 97.8% YoY.
Cumulative tungsten product imports in 2026 totaled 25,800t, up 91.7% YoY.
All this on the backdrop of Western prices being circa $3,000 per mtu, and Chinese APT prices around $1500. This is a manipulated market.
Although China's tungsten reserves account for about 80% of global reserves, domestic ore grades are declining year by year.

#China August #tungsten data: a MUST read if you own $EQR or $TUN.
Despite a 5% MoM rise in exports, August was a 4-year low at 1,360t. The growth came form SINGLE USE products: W hexafluoride, W metatungstate and ferro tungsten.
APT exports in August were zero
Jan-Jul exports though were only 7,781t, down 13% YoY.
China is exporting value-add products that cannot be recycled, and slowing exports of that which can. Their strategy here is obvious, and clever.

Reformed EU? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Labour government Reset will force the UK to obey EU rules and pay EU bills.
They would the EU bother to reform if they have captured the UK and made it into a colony?
Britain should seek to rejoin a reformed European Union within the next decade, ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a report published today.

This is a tax on Internet access. If you don't pay you go to jail. Every mobile device needs to be registered and monitored.
🚨NEW: Labour is considering scrapping the BBC licence fee and replacing it with an £11/month "internet charge" - which will be used to fund the BBC instead, payable by everyone whether they watch TV or not
It would be added straight onto household broadband bills
