Traditionally, Christmas is the season of goodwill.  But Christian charity is stretched to the limit when we look at the collection of incompetents, shysters and liars masquerading as Her Majesty's Government and Loyal Opposition.

The Westminster political class has failed us at every level:

* taxes higher than any time since 1949.

* the national debt doubled since 2019 (it is now nearly 100% of national income).

* the Government still spending £100 billion a year more than it gets in tax revenue.

* mass-immigration worse than ever - adding a city the size of Birmingham to the UK population every 2 years.

* British culture under sustained attack as 'white British' become the ethnic minority in all our big cities (only 36% of Londoners were 'white British' in the 2021 census (compared with 60% in 2001 and 90% in 1971).

* extortionate 'green taxes' make ordinary people poorer and colder whilst filling the boots of largely foreign multi-millionaires, wrecking the countryside with giant windmills which don't work when there's no wind or too much.

* the 'woke' tyranny makes George Orwell's fictional 1984 reality as police arrest us for 'thoughtcrime' and employers sack us for using the wrong pronouns. The very concept of man and woman is under attack.

* the NHS has become the International Health Service providing poor value for money, with 7,000,000 people on waiting lists.

* public sector unions create chaos everywhere, wrecking working lives at the taxpayer's expense.

There's a General Election within 12 months. The "choice" is between Tweedledum Sunak v Tweedledee Starmer. What is the difference apart from the sun tan? Both are well-off globalist technocrats with zero personality. Both clueless about ordinary people, out-of-touch, useless and incompetent. 

Brexit was a revolt against the political class. Farage fled the field before the job was done and handed Boris his 90 seat majority in 2019. The Tories squandered Brexit and Labour wants to shackle us ever closer to the EU. We should fill those empty seats on planes to Rwanda with our traitor MPs. 

UKIP kept the faith and is needed more than ever. We are still fighting to stop mass-migration, defend British culture and history, build up our armed forces, support veterans, cut taxes & red tape, end woke policing, restore Law & Order, end profligate government, slash waste - and much else besides.

2024 is our chance to reject the old parties with no answers to the problems they created. UKIP exists to show the way as we did on Brexit. 

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and let's make 2024 a Happy New Year.
