Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 95.
This week Nick and Toby talk about:
- The General Election result, in which Labour won a landslide in spite of just 20% of the electorate voting for them
- The ‘Portillo Moments’ on the night in which Liz Truss, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Grant Shapps, Penny Mordaunt and Miriam Cates lost their seats
- The five seats won by pro-Palestinian candidates who are far more toxic than the five Reform MPs, but got a free pass from the media during the election campaign
- The runners and riders in the Tory leadership election and whether Robert Jenrick is enough of an outsider to qualify as a ‘dark horse’
- And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:
- The French election result in which the National Rally polled the most votes, but ended up coming third
- Why the Dems will have to choose Michelle Obama as the candidate if they defenestrate Biden because they can’t pick a white man in preference to Kamala Harris
- Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick worries about getting into trouble if he tells any of his female co-workers they look ‘nice’ in light of the employment tribunal deciding that’s sexual harassment
- And in the Based Department, the clear winner is Noel Gallagher for telling virtue-signalling musicians at Glastonbury: “Play your f***ing tunes and get off.”

“the Injustice of the Election Result”
Oh will you give over. More than 80% of those who voted, supported net-zero, mass immigration loving, woke socialist/big state parties. Let’s face it – that’s what people seem to want.
No, that’s what they were presented with and 80% of the electorate said “Bugger of with that crap”.
Reform was the only mainstream party offering significantly different policies to the Uniparty coalition members. What was Reform’s vote share?
I think this is a fair overview of the UK election, with a focus on the growing influence of the Muslim vote;
”The British Labour Party achieved an historic victory. The party has not enjoyed such an overwhelming advantage over competing parties for many years.
For them to achieve that so soon after their party had been riddled in widespread anti-Semitism under its then leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is so remarkable that a deeper dive into the figures and the facts are required.
First, they achieved their victory with a very low voter turnout. Only 60% of the disgruntled voting public cast their ballots.
Surprisingly, despite the number of seats gained, Labour did it with fewer votes in absolute terms than under the reviled Corbyn.
Under Corbyn in 2017, Labour garnered almost thirteen million votes (12,877,916), 40% of the total.
Under Starmer, Labour received less than ten million votes, and only 34% of the total.
In other words, Labour won more seats despite losing voters.
Apparently, most of the migrant vote went elsewhere.
In a number of constituencies with large numbers of Muslim voters they abandoned their prior allegiance to a heavily Socialist Labour Party in favor of independent parties, four moving to Gaza-promoting independent parties.
Today, there are a lot more new Members of the British Parliament representing Palestinian and Islamic interests. These numbers will increase and have more influence, given the expanding migrant population, in local and national elections.
It seems the loyalties of migrant voters do not rest solidly in Britain to where they ran for refuge but that they imported their biases from their places of origin.
Most of the pro-Palestinian Arab migrants, who made their voices heard in the recent election, arrived in Britain from places ruled by dictators and despots. Most never saw a Jew in their lives before arriving in Britain, and in Britain, most live in closed communities where there aren’t any Jews.
Yet they harbor an anti-Jewish form of anti-Israelism now being exploited and promoted by new community leaders who are riding into the British Parliament for the first time.”

An assessment I have been posting for some time now. I will add once more, this is Labour’s last government. If there is an election in five years the Labour Party will be wiped out. The muslim vote has found its feet and has realised it no longer needs the Labour Party, if it ever did.
By the time the next elections come round next year there will be more independent muslim candidates and doubtless some fledgling muslim parties.
The Labour Party is on notice.
It could well be the final lap for both main parties. Simply look at the figures: barely anyone voted for Labour. A government cannot function without support and, given Labours insane policies, they will have no chance whatsoever of retaining what little they got this time.
Muslim votes gained 5 seats, real people got 5 seats. Those figures don’t sound like much but look at the numbers behind them. The Bell is Tolling for the Labour, LibDim and Conservative.
