Let’s not beat about the hedgerows. The local elections have thrown a hand grenade into the porcelain tea set of British politics.
The Tories? Bloodied, bruised, and flat on their back. Reform? Puffed up, bullish, swinging from the chandeliers after a strong showing.
Nigel Farage and his merry band are lording it, threatening to decapitate the old Conservative beast once and for all. But before we write the political obituary for the oldest and most successful political party on Earth, let’s just take a breath. Politics, dear reader, is a dish best eaten with a healthy dollop of realism and a sprig of unpredictability.
Yes, the Conservative Party has taken a pasting. But this is politics where dead men walk, Lazarus rises, and party leaders can go from toast to titan in a single speech. Remember, these are local elections, not a general mandate. And the idea that Reform’s current surge will remain a fixed star in the firmament of British politics is, to put it gently, optimistic.
God forbid something happens to Nigel. What then? A party built on one man’s charisma, fire, and rhetorical wizardry suddenly finds itself flailing without a compass. Would Reform still roar with only a handful of MPs and no general at the helm? I very much doubt it. Politics is a cruel, volatile mistress. One minute you’re riding high in the polls; the next, you’re yesterday’s chips paper.
Meanwhile, Kemi is clearly struggling to break through. The message isn’t landing, the mood isn’t shifting. So what next? Robert Jenrick? He’s certainly cutting through on socials. Or a return of Boris at the 11th hour, thundering in like a blond-haired colossus? Perhaps. Or perhaps Ben Habib’s insurgent movement unites the Tory rebels and Reform renegades under a new, patriotic banner. Anything… everything… is on the table.
And that’s precisely the point. We don’t know what will happen. None of us do. Which is why the Great British Political Action Committee (PAC) is more important now than ever before.
Because while the right squabbles, splits, and speculates, Labour has already cruised to power on a conveyor belt of complacency and divided opposition. We also saw it happen not once, not twice, but three times in the mayoral races just last night. The Tory and Reform vote combined crushed Labour. But split as it was, Labour snuck through like a burglar at dawn. It was the 2024 General Election all over again.
And unless we get our act together, it’s a harbinger of 2029.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Great British PAC exists. Collectively, we don’t give a fig about what colour rosette you wear. We’re not here to carry water for one leader, one faction, one tribal outfit. We are the spine, the skeleton, the scaffolding of a national revival. We are doing the donkey work now, quietly, efficiently, relentlessly, so that whoever holds the banner of the right can hit the ground running on Day One in 2029.
We are building the Great Repeal Programme, ready to roll back the creeping nannyism, restore sovereignty, slash bureaucracy, and reignite enterprise. We’re setting the policy foundations, the legal frameworks, the infrastructure of a new British renaissance. We’re country before party. Mission before ego. Victory before vanity.
Because this isn’t just an election we’re preparing for. It’s a reckoning. A final shot at reversing decline, restoring order, and reviving the greatness that this country still holds in its bones. We’ve got one chance. Just one.
And with the Great British PAC, we WILL be ready. Roll on 2029.

An utterly flawed analysis. Do you ever read the comments?
You cannot simply add the Reform and Tory votes, if they formed a pact then voters would desert Reform in droves. Reform knows this, which is why they quite rightly rule it out.
They also know what the elctorate knows about the Tories – they cannot be trusted. They will say anything to gain power, then do something else – or lately, do nothing much at all. This is largely due to the rump of so-called one nation wets sitting as MPs, controlling their party by having too much sway over choosing leaders and candidates. They will defenestrate any leader – when the time is right – to prevent right wing policies being enacted.
Lastly, it is not simply about gaining power. for some theoretically right wing bunch of MPs cobbed together from whatever flawed electoral calculus wishful thinking make one dream of – it is about what you are going to do with that power. The only party anyone believes right now is Reform.
So the question is: how do we get enough Tory voters to make the leap?
By the way – Robert Jenrick is not the answer. He’s a plant, same as May was.
He was a Cameron afficionado when he entered parliament, mentored by Anna Soubry (eek). A remainer as well. He now claims to have seen the light, but apparently changed his views on issues such as immigration in a remarkably short space of time.
Just as Badenoch looks like a plant, being a Gove protegee, Jenrick looks as though he’s there simply to create false choice in the old Tory shell game. In that game, they elect a leader saying the right things prior to an election, then they defenestrate them via their bizarre 1922 procedures and push a wet and a plant onto the membership vote stage – if there’s even a membership election at all.
People have woken up to this game. With Reform now having the party machinery to get their message out, they will rip Jenrick to shreds if he’s ever put forward as leader. Just pointing out his background, as noted above, will have any true small-c conservative running to the poll booth to tick the turquoise box.
