Civil War.

Right now there is a war going on within the UK. It's not reported, it's not on the radar of the mainstream media, and only those with any political nous really understand. 

Nigel Farage gets it, Suella Braverman gets it, other Conservative MPs are slowly realising it. Especially after last night's commons fiasco.

We are at war between forces outside the democratic process and the general public.

Let's look at a timeline:

Boris Resigns and the Conservative party request applications for party leaders.

The selection process starts and it's apparent that there are two sides: The globalists, working on behalf of global corporations and Supra-national organisations and the party membership.

The Globalists control the contest and it's whittled down to a choice of The Globalist candidate (Rishi Sunak) and the least strong membership candidate (Liz Truss).

Liz wins, but from day one she's hamstrung as the globalists brief against her constantly. The media, complicit in their globalist support also start on the Liz-hating.

Liz is installed and selects a chancellor with similar views. Together they put together a budget that would (a) save the majority of the public from serious energy costs and (b) reduce costs for small businesses. 

But in a miscalculation, or a deliberate misdirection from the globalists in the party, she also cuts the tax for rich people. They give her the policy that they then use to beat her with. And with that they took away control of the Parliamentary Party from her.

Within weeks her chancellor was gone. The globalist-supporting Jeremy Hunt is installed. Days after that, Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary that actually deported some Albanians that arrived by dinghy last week, was ratted out and resigned. 

There's chatter about whether she resigned deliberately because of pressure from the globalist wing of the party, or that Liz Truss was told to give Suella the option. But it's quite clear from her resignation letter that she wasn't happy with the effective coup that was going on within the party to usurp the wishes of the membership.

Within hours another Globalist, Grant Shapps is installed and in his acceptance speech he mentions Liz Truss zero times and Jeremy Hunt at least twice. Now we know who he's giving thanks to and who actually has power in the cabinet.

Then we have what some might say is a deliberately engineered farce last night in the commons. 

Tory MP Charles Walker was almost in tears last night in an interview. Listen to his words carefully. He's talking about Parliamentary Party members who engineered this situation. The people that ensured the final candidates would be the globalist that the membership wouldn't vote for and the membership candidate that the globalists could control or sideline. Sadly by calling for Truss to resign, he's playing into the globalist's hands.

Nothing about the Conservative party currently is about the National Interest. Instead it's serving vested interests, globalists that want a cosy atmosphere to work in, they want competition stifled and Brexit neutered. 

Hence why the raise in Corporation Tax was re-introduced by Hunt. The big corporations want no competition. They hate small businesses taking even a fraction of their business. They killed something that would have helped small businesses across the country. As little as it was, it was something to help.

Global corporations have tax breaks, or the option of paying corporation tax in a different country, so it doesn't affect them. But it does make it harder for small-medium UK businesses. 

The budget support for energy prices for two years took a lot of pressure off people. With it now ending in April thanks to Hunt, the uncertainty for ordinary people is back. Another fear for the globalists to exploit.

Right now the globalists have the upper hand. They have Jeremy Hunt in place as Chancellor and they have Rishi Sunak in the wings.

If Truss resigns, they could just install Rishi as leader in some sort of concocted second-choice option, or Hunt could slide over from number 11 to number 10 and be caretaker leader. But then they could say it's too close to an election to spend months on a leadership contest, so either becomes de-facto leader of the party. 

Either way the globalists win and the ordinary people lose. They have played the political game well. 

But if enough Conservative MPs defected to Reform, then there could be a case to promote Reform as the true, new home of Conservatism and to get Tory party members to vote for them instead of the globalist Tories.

Hopefully that will happen and the war has a chance of swinging back in favour of the ordinary person and the globalists will lose control.

Here's hoping.

Trials ahead for Truss: Some quick fixes and some longer term ones required NOW.

So it's just been announced that Liz Truss has been voted in as t6he new leader of the Conservative Party.

There are some things she needs to do immediately.

The first is to sort out the issue of energy bills. Right now, in the immediate term, she needs to remove VAT from energy bills and fuel. I say fuel, because there are still houses using fuel oil for heating that don't appear to be getting any rebates or any help like people on direct debit energy tariffs. So just cut the bloody VAT.

That will have an immediate effect in lowering the price and (in the short term) provide some relief.

Then she can crack on sorting things out for the medium term and then the longer term.

I'm not sure the Socialist "pay the suppliers the difference" proposal is a real, Conservative answer. It's robbing Peter to pay Paul, or more accurately spending today to claw back tomorrow.

In the medium term, increasing production from UK offshore gas fields will ease the burden and lower the price. Of course energy suppliers won't like the government telling them what to do, but I'm sure the threat of a windfall tax will whip the suppliers into line and get them producing gas. 

Somehow we need to do something about futures markets bumping up the price of resources artificially, and also removing the link between global prices and locally produced resources. If we produce our gas, then we should be getting it cheaper. How we do that, I leave to the financial wizards, but to me it seems ludicrous that we are paying the highest global price for something we extract from the ground right here in the UK. I expect something like a hideous amount of tax on exported gas and oil would be the answer.

In the long term, giving Rolls Royce firm contracts for their Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMR) would be a very good move. The technology developed should be attractive around the world. 

SMRs distributed around the country would go some way to replacing Russian gas-fuelled electricity production. Being modular, once developed the installation should be straightforward and relatively quick (in nuclear reactor terms).

In the very long term, we need to be funding alternative nuclear options like molten salt reactors. China is already going down this route. 

And looking at the longer term as well, the net zero policy needs to be binned. Instead it needs to be replaced with a more pragmatic approach that isn't as dogmatic and is affordable for the majority of the country.

It's frankly disgusting watching a government saying it is powerless to do anything, because it is hamstrung to an ideology that is actually working against the population at large.

By sticking with net zero when so many people are facing severe hardship makes the government essentially the enemy of the people. They can kiss their votes goodbye unless they do something and quickly. 

I'd even go as far as demanding recompense for the effects of the policy so far, such is my disgust at the incompetence of the energy policy that has been in play over the past decade. It's tantamount to negligent behaviour, allowing security of energy supply to be removed. 

UPDATE: It seems to me that the real crux of all this is the unchallenged export of resources out of the country. For instance my old soap box stance of global companies paying corporation tax outside the UK. Something similar is happening in the energy market: companies extracting resources in the UK and then selling them outside the UK at global market rates.

In both instances, the UK, the provider of the profits, money and the resources seems to come off worst and not receive any benefit at all. 

That has to stop.
