I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all the readers of this blog a very Happy New Year for 2026.
It’s fair to say that 2025 has been a difficult and challenging year for many. There have been jihadist terror attacks in Western nations against Jews and increasingly Christians in places like Africa and it will not be long before such attacks on Christians happen on an increasingly regular basis in Western nations themselves. The ‘forgotten jihad’ as I call it against Christians in Africa will I believe come to Western nations and then we will see and sadly experience what the African Christians in places like Nigeria are currently suffering. Maybe the church burnings and desecrations that we are seeing reports of across Europe are just the start of something horrible.
In Britain the Labour government continues to mismanage the economy and the country. The borders are effectively wide open just as they were during the Boris Johnson administration. The current government’s policy of scattering Channel Invaders across the country is meeting, so far, mostly peaceful resistance from local people scared for their families due to the presence of unvetted men from countries and cultures with horrible attitudes to women and children. Britain is being increasingly burdened with taxes and restrictions on speech continue to grow more and more onerous on the British subject. We continue to be squeezed fiscally whilst being told to accept public services that are of such an abysmal quality that they might shame some third world hell hole.
2025 has been a woeful year or many especially in the United Kingdom. Financial and social stresses are increasing and it doesn’t look as if the current government are at all interested in sorting out such problems for the benefit of the majority population. The negative effects on the economy and society by the lunatic Net Zero policies of Labour are also becoming very apparent.
But what could 2026 bring? If you had asked me at the end of 2024 I might have made some predictions that would have been correct such as Labour messing up the British economy and border security along with their penchant for prioritising some ‘communities’ but not others. However I doubt that I would have been able to solidly predict the Manchester synagogue attack nor the Bondi Beach Atrocity nor the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the United States. None of these events I could have reasonably predicted.
The world is moving so fast and politics is becoming so much less predictable that making assumptions about what 2026 will bring is somewhat of a hopeless and futile task. In July 2024 nobody would have been able to predict Labour’s collapse in support, at times below 15%, as it was not reasonable to believe that a government with such a massive majority in the House of Commons would have its public support collapse so quickly and so totally as it has with Labour. As for the right, Reform continue to bite at the heels of both Labour and the Conservative Parties but whether Reform’s polling lead can translate into votes at elections is difficult to predict once voters understand that Reform are not overly blessed with detailed policy plans. However the situation in Britain is now so bad that it’s possible although not certain that voters will ignore the lack of detailed policies and choose Reform on the grounds that this party is the only large party speaking the language of many voters. Britain is now so badly managed that the voters could choose the vibes of Reform over any policies put forward by the Tories on the grounds that the Tories have let the voters down on a number of important issues regarding migration, social cohesion and Net Zero.
I do predict reasonably confidently that the Cult of Trans and their supporters in the public sector will continue to do their utmost to defy the British Supreme Court’s ruling that biological sex is paramount when deciding ‘what is a woman’. This cult is deeply embedded in Britain’s National Health Service, police forces and in education. The cult of trans is fighting against the Supreme Court ruling on sex and gender and in some cases is openly defying the Supreme Court’s decision. However some organisations such as Girlguiding have been forced, kicking and screaming, to side with reality but it will take time for those young people who have become enmeshed into the Trans Cult to age out of the organisation and Girlguiding still has a worryingly large cohort of trans activists currently involved in Girlguiding. The Supreme Court ruling on sex and gender was not a war winning judgement but merely a significant battle that was won. It will take many more years and many more mutilated teenagers and young people to stop this cult. This is very similar to the situation with lobotomies where it took time and the coming to market of psychiatric drugs to kill off this brutal and not always successful surgical procedure. The fight against this cult is still very much on but we might, at least for a while, be faced with a situation where the people cleave to the reality of sex and gender whilst the organs of the state do the exact opposite something which is going to have an enormous amount of negative effects on British children and young people.
I will make one solid prediction for 2026 and that it is going to be a hard year for many people. In Britain the people are going to continue to suffer from bad policies supported by equally bad politicians. It’s likely that Britons will be worse off economically and with regards to quality of life than they were in 2025 and it’s possible that we could see an acceleration of the 1970’s style ‘brain drain’ of young Britons who see no future for either themselves of their families in the UK. Migration to Israel by British Jews will rise as a consequence of rising Islamic and Left Wing Jew hatred and non-Jewish Britons, especially those with marketable talents, will look to other nations such as the USA, New Zealand or Dubai or Eastern Europe to be a new safer home for themselves and their families. For those who don’t have such talents that are transportable things are going to get worse. Net Zero created deindustrialisation will get considerably worse in Britain and I doubt that such a situation will be of any good to Britain’s indigenous working classes. This deindustrialisation and clear and obvious two tier governance might bring out into the open the spectre of ethnonationalism and that will not be a conscious choice for many but will be a choice forced on them as a survival tactic in the face of government policies that prioritise the ‘other’ ahead of the Briton. This could all end very badly indeed maybe ‘Lebanon conflict’ level bad.
With things changing so quickly in politics and society all I can really say is that 2026 might be the ‘interesting times’ that the old Chinese proverb warns about.
I hope and pray that Britain’s problems can be sorted out peaceably, amicably and via political means but I’m not going to stake money on that being the case.
However to be hopeful we night see the ‘epic crash’ in politics and trust in the media and its narratives of the sort that writers like Daniel Salt believes could happen prior to the sort of change that many of us want to see. My only hope and prayer on this is that even if Mr Salt is correct that this big crash in politics doesn’t wipe out the good with the bad when it comes to politics and society. See Dan Salt’s article on how the Labour Government is dying whilst in office which can be found here: https://politicallyhomeless.substack.com/p/the-beginning-of-the-end
Sorry about the doom and gloom for my New Year message but we do live in doomy and gloomy times but the shows not over until the fat lady sings and 2026 could bring positive stuff as well as negative stuff that nobody including myself can predict easily. Remember nobody interested in politics solidly predicted the revolutionary Thatcher government when looking at the Tories in 1975 nor did anyone properly predict the massive amount of damage to the constitution, the economy and to society created by the Blair administrations from 1997 when Tony Blair became Labour leader in 1994. Things could go good or bad or be a combination of these two poles.
All that remains for me to say in this article is that I hope everyone has a good 2026 and that you avoid the bad bits of it and embrace the good bits.
Happy New Year.
