Trump wants a civil war. Trump is obsessed with calling things after him. Maybe this civil war will be remembered by his name, and not in a good way.

I have seen nothing to suggest Julian Smith is resisting this diktat. If he is, and is prepared to abandon his MP position at the next election, then I got it wrong and I apologise unreservedly.

Non committal but here is the thing. Kemi Badenoch has made it clear she is purging the Tory party just like Boris Johnson did. Only Tory members who support her aim of leaving ECHR and abolishing net zero can be candidate in 2029. This includes current MPs.

I approached him in 2025 about it. He replied
Dear Pascal

Thank you for contacting me regarding the European Convention on Human Rights (EHCR) and the Conservative Party's recently launched Commission examining foreign treaties and their impact on the British legal system.

The Shadow Attorney General is an experienced lawyer. It is important that he fully considers all possible issues, including in Northern Ireland, and I will of course bear your comments in mind when discussing this work with parliamentary colleagues.

Thank you again for your email.

Kind regards

Leaving the ECHR brings no benefits, only dire risks and penalties. It is phase two of a destructive, alienating Brexit rabbit hole that has swallowed the miserable remnants of the Tory Party entire. All to attempt to appease a vociferous minority of racist scum that will still never vote for them

In 2022, local Tory MP for life ™️ Julian Smith was a great fan of ECHR and recognised its importance for the Good Friday agreement. He has now changed his mind, and supports Kemi Badenoch's decision to leave ECHR.
Julian Smith MP @JulianSmithUK

The ECHR is key to the Good Friday Agreement. It is worth bearing in mind the stark international consequences on trade deals, credibility and trust if the Conservative leadership contest starts undermining the GFA.

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

As well as a Britannia Magic Dome, Tories will build a Halo Array, a Stargate, a Dark Tower, and a Death Star - named respectively Spirit of the Blitz, Maggie's Opening, Boris-Dûr, and Churchill's Clacker - funded by sales of a new wellness smoothie made with carrot, ginger, and poor people's tears.

Train to Beauvais is fine, and there is a local bus to the airport but it is slow.

Pascal Jacquemain @jacquep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I prefer to use the train but I used the bus today. Pretty slow as for some reason, it went through narrow Beauvais streets instead of main roads. It was packed but OK.

but he is not the leader. Some people from his party, like the Mayor of St Denis, have also made mistakes letting others claim Mélenchon party supported rioters. I don't believe they are.

Pascal Jacquemain @jacquep.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
It's complicated. There's a bit of everything in the demos. A bit of support for Palestine, rioters, people who want to destroy stuff, but mostly people who are fed up. However there isn't a single ideology behind those protests. Mélenchon, it seems to me, is trying use the demos to gain support

There can't be anything left wing in me if I don't support the Greens position on abolition of Israel and replacement by a single Palestinian state, a leftist told me, calling me a Nazi. But Trump supporters, who often act like Nazis, claim Nazis are left wing. So I am left wing after all!

Disgusting that the Tories have pledged to scrap the requirements for new homes to come with solar panels. Solar panels on new homes will save people hundreds of pounds, bolster our energy security, and will of course be hugely beneficial for the environment.
