Labour and the Conservatives are in freefall. The local elections were a clear example of that. Labour lost 198 out of the 296 seats they were defending—almost two-thirds.
Frankly, we’d prefer them to slow down. Even their own MPs are fed up.
"Enough. Enough of low wages and sky-high bills. Enough of high streets being left to rot. Enough of crumbling infrastructure and public services that don’t work. Enough of broken promises."
Do you know who said that? Labour's own MP Dan Carden.

The Conservatives did even worse and were practically obliterated. You can see why both parties colluded to postpone the local and mayoral elections—the writing was on the wall. They are running scared of Reform UK. Yet, despite this brazen behaviour, both parties remain tone-deaf to the cries of the British public.
So listen carefully both of you. I believe I speak for a large portion of the British public when I say: we do not believe that “smashing the gangs” is a credible policy.
It’s nearly impossible to believe in such promises from a government that won’t even hold a national inquiry into the rape gangs operating in this country—gangs whose networks potentially spanned at least 50 locations.
We are not confident that Labour is capable of smashing criminal networks abroad when it cannot confront them at home.
As for the Conservatives—well, they aren’t capable of anything. We are sick and tired of being forced to house and feed Channel migrants, many of whom are making a mockery of the kindness and generosity of the British people—people who are themselves suffering.
Instead of making this country so inviting, give them tents like in France—the very country they are fleeing to seek better conditions here.
And for God’s sake, ditch Net Zero. We are not impressed by the government’s blind commitment to it—especially when it’s costing us a fortune and making us dependent on China for raw materials and rare earth elements. How does this give us energy security?
How does it reduce global carbon emissions when those emissions are simply being outsourced elsewhere? Add the transportation costs, and we're actually putting out more.
To keep this so-called renewable revolution going, it has to be heavily subsidised. Renewable energy is now costing us £25.8 billion a year across households and industries.
Ed Miliband’s "mad schemes" include a £22 billion experimental carbon capture project—announced on the same day as a £22 billion black hole in the public finances. If Labour had that money, why didn’t they use it to fill the gap?
Carbon capture has failed almost everywhere it's been tried. Then there’s the obsession with carpeting the land with wind farms and solar panels—even while admitting that the materials for solar panels come from China, where slave labour is used. Had Ed Miliband not been challenged, he would still be buying from those plants.
We’ve seen how flimsy solar panels are in bad weather. In Anglesey, farms were destroyed—and now they’re even talking about dimming the sun. But how can you advocate for solar energy while planning to reduce sunlight?
We’re on track to lose our last blast furnaces. Coal is gone. There will be no new oil and gas licences—so we’ll be buying from elsewhere.
We’ve already seen what happens in Europe when energy policy is dictated by unreliable renewables. Grid fluctuations caused blackouts in Portugal and Spain.
And Ed? He’s doubling down. He’s sacking 80-year-old Dame Mary Archer—wife of author Jeffrey Archer—from his Net Zero department, just seven months after Labour blocked her appointment as Chair of London Parks.
Why? Perhaps because she recently agreed with Tony Blair that Net Zero is doomed to fail.
It’s time to ditch Net Zero. Enough is enough. If the two main parties refuse to listen to the electorate, they will be obliterated at the ballot box.
