New level of threat to UK government – related to militant Tory defectors – means election defeat is highly likely, though not necessarily imminent.
The level of threat from the British electorate to the continued existence of the UK government has been raised from substantial to severe, Theresa May, the home secretary, has announced.
The move to distract the electorate comes after figures were released showing a large rise in net immigration to the UK which experts say could make attacks on government ministers in the near future “a real possibility“.
This also means that an election defeat in the near future is considered to be “highly likely“, and although May said there is no evidence to suggest a change of government is imminent, senior members of the Cameron cabinet are keen to make sure the public is fully distracted in the face of a reported threat from militant Euro-sceptics on the right-wing of the Tory Party.
The home secretary said some of the plots against the government were likely to involve hard-line back-bench Tory MPs and that the decision to raise the official threat level is “related to developments in UKIP, who may be planning attacks against the UK government“.
Her announcement is expected to be followed shortly by a Downing Street statement in which David Cameron is expected to urge the public to remain vigilant of suspicious activity by radical Tory MPs and to report any indications of further defections to the authorities.

To compare UKIP to the other parties shows a complete lack of knowledge about UKIP and a complete acceptance of the usual EU-inspired media bias. Time some people started thinking for themselves instead of accepting any old any old that is pumped out daily . UKIP wishes to give power to the people. If you completely despise that aim you are not a democrat.

Any ideas the purpose of forcing a by-election nine months before the general election? Taking for granted that Carswell did not just wake up and think I’ve had enough of this, what would his plan be?
Do you think he thinks he can hold it for UKIP. Is he likely to hold it for UKIP? And if he does, it still might be all change in nine months time anyway.
Just interested in thoughts.

The threat level has been raised from “Tower Hamlets” to “Rotherham”, the third highest level.
“When will Cameron declare war, and against whom?”
Probably discussing that at this very moment. And he has powerful allies. The US want to give the oligarchs the run of Eastern Europe and eventually finish the job they’d started (pre-Putin) in Russia, so they’re on board. And what better way to forge European political unity, currently in very short supply, than a scrap against a foreign enemy ?
