Britain has shut down, and failed to adequately replace, essential energy infrastructure. Our moronic politicians have placed eco vanity ahead of energy security and affordability. Parliament still has the wrong priorities. MPs are more worried about emissions than solving the energy supply crisis and cost of living crisis that they have caused.

Our dysfunctional Home Office is nowhere close to getting a grip on illegal immigration and is failing to deport in anything like the necessary numbers to get on top of the backlog. This morning MPs are sparring with academics on whether women can have a penis.

Fuel and energy costs are skyrocketing. Poorer households are facing the greatest cost pressures since the nineties. The Home Offices is requisitioning thousands more hotel rooms for illegal immigrants every day. It’s the same thing – week in, week out, while the political class and the media fixate on their own inanities, oblivious to the real world.

It’s now looking like we will face a serious energy crunch in the winter, and if Putin turns off Europe’s gas supply then we are looking at some form of energy rationing. The government is scrambling to reopen gas storage facilities and extend the life of existing plant, but it looks like they’ve left it far too late.

Meanwhile, it looks like the war in Ukraine is set in for the long haul. We are getting to the situation where, from initial pessimism about the capability and endurance of Ukraine, we see a growing belief that it can win this war. That view is over optimistic. For sure, Ukraine can beat off the attackers in time, but when it comes to recovering ground, they face exactly the same problems the Russians faced.

This presents a different and stressful dynamic on western nations, including the EU. Until this war is resolved, normal politics and economics will not be resumed. This is driving foreign, defence and economic policy, which cannot revert to normal as long as we are, in effect, in an undeclared war with Russia.

The EU’s response to this has been to wean itself off Russian gas at the earliest opportunity, but this can’t happen fast, and the like the UK, the EU has placed its faith in unreliable intermittent renewable energy which is exacerbating grid stability problems. Critics of renewable energy, wind especially, have long warned that it could lead to blackouts. System warnings have become more frequent and this year we’ve seen long spells with no wind at all.

The British response is arguably worse. Not only has the British government doubled down on Net Zero, Boris Johnson has committed Britain to underwriting Zelensky’s war machine, asset stripping our own armed forces to do it. Britain is no longer capable of mobilising a brigade at short notice. We’re fuelling a long war over eastern European rust belt which is likely to be a bloody stalemate for years, impoverishing the whole continent. By the time they’re done, Eastern Ukraine will be flattened by artillery and there’ll be nothing left to reclaim.

This is where we need a functioning politics most of all, but we don't have anything close. We have a dilapidated Tory party robbing from Peter to pay Paul, trapped in socialist cycle of tax and spend, expecting different results. There’s no vision, no clarity of purpose, and no hint of a clue. Boris Johnson is a lame duck, mired in sleaze and is still the best the Tories have to offer. There is no glimmer of hope on the opposition benches either. The Labour party has done nothing to deserve power and is as morally and intellectually bankrupt as it was under Corbyn. In any case, with three years til the next voting ritual, we don’t get a say in it either way. We’re helpless spectators. All we can do is sit back and watch it burn.

Life in Britain is going to get harder and more expensive. The establishment parties offer no solutions to the problem because they are the problem. The central problem being a lack of willingness to take on the respective blobs within the apparatus of state. Not least because our braindead politicians agree with them. Gender voodoo and pronoun idiocy, green zealotry and open borders dogma is calling the shots at the highest levels of government. Our democracy has been replaced with a network of think tanks and advocacy groups masquerading as civil society – who are accountable to nobody and represent nobody but themselves.

Our model of government now closely resembles the Brussels apparatus where genuine democratic sentiment doesn't get anywhere close to power. We are nothing even close to a democracy. They’ve decided what they’re going to do, and they don’t care how much misery they inflict on us. They’ll do it without consultation or consent and they’ll use every crisis they create to advance their own powers and hit us with more of the same. They’re coming for our cars and our home heating, and soon enough they’ll outlaw all the opinions they disagree with. Freedom of speech online is dying. They’re taxing us back to the stone age.

It should be clear now that the establishment is at war with the people. Our freedoms don’t factor into their technocratic green utopian templates. We have nobody representing our interests in government. The Tory party is an empty husk and the PM is asleep at the wheel. Industry after industry is feeling the strain of crippling taxes and energy costs and the productive economy is seizing up. The Tory green revolution is stalling and Johnson’s EV rollout is stillborn. The days of Britain as a functioning country are coming to a close. Chaos, poverty and decline will be Johnson’s legacy.
