This wasn't just a seismic moment in British politics. It was a gargantuan, gob-smacking, cyclonic moment, one where the shockwaves of it will tear through the ranks of both Labour and the Tories like a tsunami. Reform's by-election win in Runcorn and Helsby by just six votes wasn't just a stupendous win for a party that just a year ago was polling at 5%. This was the raging roar of an angry nation that is no longer prepared to put up with the chancers, the liars and the liggers that now populate government.
Because what the good people of Runcorn screamed this week was being screamed simultaneously in towns and cities all over Britain where Reform are taking hundreds of council seats. And all because of an incompetent government that promised change and instead brought chaos and refused to listen to the people who elected it. Reform and Farage are now unstoppable.
No longer can either be sneered at as far-right racists or dismissed by the two main parties as the fly-by-nights of politics. People damn well turned out to vote for them - everywhere. And they were proud to do it because, in Reform, they see a party that's on the same page as they are, a party that cares about what they care about!
What happened this week was nothing short of a political earthquake. This was the electorate sending a deafening message that they will no longer put up with being shafted by a government of fools that doesn't give a stuff about them.
Yes, the Tories took losses but the biggest punch in the throat was to Labour, which just nine months ago won the election with a stonking 174-seat majority. Since that win, Labour couldn't have done more to alienate a nation that threw itself enthusiastically behind them reasoning: "They can't be worse than the Tories."
But in just ten months Labour, thanks to its rank incompetence, has proved beyond doubt to be way worse than the Tories. They've kicked pensioners in the guts by taking their winter fuel allowances. They've attacked businesses by ramping up . Our joke of a chancellor has overspent by £14billion already and has single-handedly set this country on a course to recession. Growth is beggared, is rising.
And all the while that's been happening, Labour ministers have had their greedy snouts in the trough taking freebies while businesses went to the wall and people lost jobs.
But together with all that has been Labour's contempt and its disdain for the working people it exists to support. And THAT'S what's done for them in Runcorn and Helsby. That's what's done for them in councils all over the country.
As has their stupidity, their lack of a plan, their lies, their two-tier politicking, their refusal to take on illegal immigration or deport foreign criminals who are raping, robbing and hurting people here on a daily basis.
They've also disgracefully abandoned thousands of girls who were raped and tortured by Pakistani Muslim gangs in order to protect their Muslim vote.
They stick a mother in jail for 18 months for sending an offensive tweet yet an illegal immigrant escapes jail after battering two policewomen. They give billions to other countries yet force pensioners here and the disabled into poverty.
And on top of all that we have a useless, flip-flopping Prime Minister with jelly where his spine should be. He believes in nothing, is devoid of political nous, and has no clue how to lead a party or a country.
He didn't even have the guts to show up in Runcorn in the lead up to the election (if he had, he might have won those six seats) because he thought a loss would reflect badly on him - typical of this coward who hides from a crisis instead of dealing with it.
What happened in Runcorn yesterday wasn't just about Reform winning. This was a sign of things to come - a disillusioned, disgusted angry electorate spitting on a government it now despises!

Olivia Coleman is the latest in a long list of Hollywood stars doing ads for Bolton bakers Warburtons. George Clooney's done it, as has Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone and Samuel L Jackson.
My question isn't why these super rich stars do it because that's easy - no matter how much money they've got they always want more. I just want to know just how much profit Warburtons is making to keep forking out millions for these Hollywood A-listers?
Who knew there was so much dosh in bread making?

Prince Harry has lost his appeal against the Government over his security. Good. He'd argued he'd been singled out for "unjustified and inferior treatment" after being denied the right for automatic police protection.
The Appeal Court thought differently and threw out his claim despite a witness statement were he whined: "The UK is my home. Its central to the heritage of my children."
So why did he drag them off to America? Harry doesn't have a life or a home here any more because he gave both up when he flounced off to California. So why should taxpayers here foot the security bill for a petulant Prince who's made it clear he hates Britain?

The Spice Girls are having yet more discussions about a 30th anniversary reunion and a world tour next year. I'm not sure anyone wants them to reunite because they're yesterday's news. They're all 50-something women still trying to cash in on a phenomenon that's long since dead.
This isn't about giving their fans what they want. It's just an easy pay day for women (Posh has refused to do it) who want to cash in because they can't make big money any other way.
It all feels a bit grasping and desperate.

Trying to shrug off the threat of a 'Summer of Discontent', Kier Starmer says: "No one wants to see strike action." Er, I think he'll find his union paymasters do.

Finally, the FA has banned trans-women from female football. But if they're expecting a pat on the back for that - think again. What the hell took them so long? This organisation allowed female footballers to be injured (some were even too scared to play) because they were too weasly to tell the trans brigade to go to hell. Instead they forced women to compete against hulking great blokes who called themselves women all so they could be seen to be being woke and inclusive.
The FA had plenty of evidence to show women and girls were being harmed yet the weasels sat back and did nothing. And it's precisely because of cowards like them that trans activists were able to infiltrate every organisation in this country.
The FA owes women footballers an apology.

The vile Irish rap group Kneecap has tried to justify telling fans: "Kill your local Tory MP" by saying it was taken out of context.
Might these cretins like to explain how "Kill your local Tory MP" can be taken out of context. It's clear to me what they were saying and it was pretty clear to the organisers of a top Cornwall music festival which has now dumped them. As have two other festivals in Germany. Now Glastonbury is being asked to ban them too. And if it doesn't, it will be spitting in the faces of murdered Tory MP Sir David Amess' devastated family.

A new survey says more than 75% of parents allow their children to have phones at the dinner table. They must be very proud of the part they're playing in turning their kids into obsessive zombies unable to socialise or communicate .
