reform

Dr Alan Mendoza, Zionist stooge and Reform candidate in Abbey Road, has lost to the Tories who saw two elected. This surely comes as a significant blow to pro-Israel lobby groups in the UK as Mendoza is the executive director of the Henry Jackson Society. This shady society is a “shill for Zionists” that we exposed in April and exists for the purpose of helping genocidal Israel and its dark interests break into British politics.

Whilst a gain for the Conservatives is rarely an opportunity for celebration amongst the working class, especially after so many years of crushing austerity, this loss is likely to sting Zionists in the UK who were hoping to get yet another stooge into government.

This shows that voters can challenge and defeat political forces that work in the interests of the Israeli, expansionist government.

At the very least, many people will see that as a sign that hope is not lost, and ‘Goliath’ can be defeated.

Tory defectors, Alan Mendoza and the former Conservative MP Damien Moore have lost their seats in Westminster City Council.

A chipper source in the party brands them “failed Tories” and says them "losing their seats makes clear Nigel Farage’s one man band is not all its cracked…

One exploitative arsehole from Reform rejected at ballot

This news is one of the rays of hope we can surely hold on to as local election results come in with a huge landslide won by far-right Reform UK. Yes, it would have been far preferred to see the seat go to the Green Party who stood two candidates. However, as we have become accustomed to in British politics, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

And it wasn’t even a close call for Mendoza, which we hope has shattered his political ambitions, but we won’t hold our breath of course.

The results were as follows for Abbey Road, Westminster:

Conservative –  Festus Kehinde​ Akinbusoye: 1284

Caroline Emma​ Sargent: 1282

Reform:             Alan Mendoza: 567

Green Party:     Themistoklis​ Pagoudis: 411

Esme Webb: 358

Joseph Elliot: 351

Labour:              Asmahan​ Alnidawi: 494

Belin Munshi: 456

Ruth Sullivan: 510

Lib Dems:          Peter Hendy-Dixon: 266

Hussain Murad: 184

Peter Howard Toeman: 220

Nevertheless, the Green Party of England and Wales should take an important lesson from this result. The party’s target-to-win (TTW) strategy – combined with fielding full slates despite having limited resources behind many candidates – arguably cost it a seat in this election. The numbers in Abbey Road make that clear given the Green vote ended up split across three candidates on the ballot.

Had the party stood just one Green candidate, they could easily have matched the vote share of either Conservative winner – and with a focused campaign, they might even have won outright.

A Green victory would have created a powerful political contrast in office and highlighted the clear differences in priorities and values. But all parties made the same decision to stand three candidates, exposing a broader problem in modern party politics: parties too often prioritise electoral ambition and brand-building over local strategy and community representation.

Voters rejected a Zionist hardliner – But progressives must learn this Lesson

For the Green’s and progressives specifically, this is a lesson we must learn as TTW does not prioritise the very real fallout when bad actors get into local and national politics. After all, a Green surge is not an abstract thing; the very real cost is resisting fascism.

Our own Antifabot exposed Mendoza and his Henry Jackson Society, writing last month:

Mendoza’s disgusting reach extends way beyond that racist little think-tank in London. As the President of the Jewish National Fund UK (JNF), he leads a charity that literally erases Palestinians and their history, just to fund illegal occupation. And they’re using our fucking money to do it. One of their most disgusting projects is Britannia Park, a leisure facility in Israel.

This park covers 10,000 acres. And it was built directly over the ruins of seven Palestinian villages, including Ajjur. These communities were ruthlessly ethnically cleansed in 1948 to make way for Israeli expansion. The JNF is planting forests over the bones of innocent Palestinians to make sure displaced people can never return to their homes.

And here’s the kicker for British citizens who already feel their pockets tightening, bills rising and local investment collapsing ever-more:

This isn’t just a devastating issue on the other side of the world. It is our fucking money they are using to commit these disgusting crimes. Through its subsidiary, KKL Charitable Accounts (operating as SmartGiving), Mendoza’s network moved an astounding £9,683,167 in the last financial year. And because it has charitable status, this theft of stolen land is subsidised by us. The British taxpayer is footing the bill through Gift Aid.

This vile little loophole allows wealthy wankers to get a 25% top-up from the government to fund projects that international law deems to be presumptive war crimes. To put it simply, our money is being used to erase Palestinian land and hand it over to settlers in Israel. And that fills me with rage. So whilst Reform UK says it wants to ‘stop the waste’ of public money, it’s own chief advisor is funnelling tax-payer money into illegal settlements behind the scenes.

Thank fuck for that, at least

It is undeniable that many progressive and free-thinking people across the UK will find this morning deeply depressing. In moments like this, people must hold onto the victories – or even the near-misses – where British democracy has, for once, served local communities more than the entrenched political interests tied to Israel and its influence within UK politics.
