      What a pathetic little creature Georgy boy is!

      In a story of a young lad who stabbed 2 other children and then went to a mosque to cry, he, Georgy, asks "what are they teaching them in these mosques?"

      That is a totally racist statement as nothing has been published anywhere which states that his actions were as a result of anything to do with mosques.

      Georgy is making racist inferences to further his pathetic assertions.

      John Cleese has gone where others fear to tread on Islam.

      It would be the perfect setting for one of Monty Python’s more surreal sketches. An inquiry hears the most horrific attacks and horrendous crimes committed by a specific group, only for members of that group (picture Eric Idle and Michael Palin in absurdist costumes) to pop up and scream that it’s offensive to speak the truth.
      But that is what has happened this week in Britain.

      In the same week where billionaire businessman Jim Ratcliffe has decided to speak up about the ‘colonisation’ of Britain by immigrants, another famous face has put his head above the parapet to comment on exactly this issue – Monty Python’s own John Cleese!

      On X, Cleese wondered aloud about whether the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) might be Britophobic, in response to the MCB describing the grooming gang inquiry as, you guessed it, ‘Islamophobic’.

      Suffice to say that it is more heartbreaking and disgusting than you can probably imagine. And it happened all over the country, to our most vulnerable, by targeted groups of mostly Pakistani Muslim men.

      Moreover, they organised themselves around those factors, and some are on the record in court transcripts as saying ‘we are here to f*** white girls and f*** the Government'.

      The MCB clearly disagree. They want to prevent the public from knowing the scale of what happened – and continues to happen to this day – in Britain.

      They want to scare people from speaking the truth; in this instance, by the tried and tested method of calling anyone involved racist by another means.

      The Labour Government has been trying to come up with an official definition of ‘Islamophobic’, in order to buy the support of radical elements of those communities.

      We are seeing more and more well-known figures breaking cover to criticise mass immigration and its effects.

      If this trend continues, the national debate on these issues will only speed up. Who will be the next celebrity to speak sense?

      Don't you just love our soft Britain, the illegals certainly do'

      An asylum seeker who assaulted a police officer was fined £26 and spared community service because he purportedly could not speak English. Mustafa Al Mbaidin, from Jordan, appeared in court in 2024 and was ordered to pay £2 of the money owed a month. At the time, it was reported that Al Mbaidin would need a full-time translator to accompany him if he were to complete a period of unpaid work.

      It was believed that this would have raised "issues" with health and safety at work regulations. The migrant pestered female joggers who were running along Bournemouth's seafront on May 11 the same year. A CCTV operator told two nearby police officers after noticing.

      PC Selina Swan attempted to arrest him for being drunk and disorderly, but Al Mbaidin shoved her and hit her on the head. He then said "f*** you", before running away.

      oh he knew how to say **** you in English! and other phrases like where's my hotel, what time's dinner and thanks for the mobile phone.

      Starmer's Labour is imploding - snap election is now real possibility and Reform are ready.

      The pressure on Sir Keir Starmer mounts daily. Unsurprisingly Reform boss Nigel Farage is seizing this moment to ready for government, with a shadow team set to be revealed amid warnings a snap election could be in the offing. Even Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has joined demands for the PM to call an election if he can't get his party's act together. As Sir Keir's chief of staff and press chief exit amid Mandelson gate, the Blairite project seems to be imploding.

      Reform - despite warnings of 'peak Farage' - has generally seen its poll numbers increase so far this year. Who would have imagined the British people actually wants a party in power which gets serious about illegal immigration, and law and order? Stands back in shock!

      The one thing Sir Ed and Farage likely agree on is we need an election now. Britain surely cannot endure another three-and-a-half years of this nonsense! Bring on May and bring on a new broom in Number 10!

      Dead man and party walking.

      Woke madness adding fuel to the fire!

      Green Party councillor has grandchildren write Valentine's Day cards for asylum seekers

      A Green Party councillor says she and her grandchildren have made Valentine's cards for asylum seekers staying at a controversial migrant camp. Councillor Anne Cross, from East Sussex County Council, said she plans to give the cards to men at the Crowborough site over the weekend.

      Migrants last month began moving into accommodation on the military camp where the Home Office plans to house up to 500 men as it aims to end the use of asylum hotels. The move has sparked opposition from locals in the area, with hundreds taking part in a large-scale protest through the town in response. Cllr Cross made her comments about the cards during a recent council meeting.

      "My grandchildren and I painted some cards - Valentine's Cards - at the weekend which we are going to be presenting to the men in the camp in Crowborough as a welcome," she said, as first reported by Guido Fawkes.

      Local Conservative MP and Deputy Speaker of the Commons Nusrat Ghani said the remarks were "disturbing".

      She said on X: "How is it that Wealden councillors don't have time or courage to meet with MPs or community over the asylum seekers in Crowborough, but have time to get kids to make Valentine's cards and deliver to single adult men - strangers.
      "It's just disturbing, highly irresponsible and with no regard for safeguarding.
      "This is NOT a good idea."

      Ex nursery worker sentenced for more than 50 child sex offences
      A former nursery worker has been sentenced to 18 years after a meticulous investigation uncovered more than one million indecent images and evidence of widespread offending spanning nearly two decades.

      Today’s outcome represents an important step in securing justice for the children, families and wider community whose lives have been profoundly affected by Vincent Chan’s actions.

      Calls have been made for the government to consider making CCTV in nurseries compulsory, in response to the case of paedophile nursery worker Vincent Chan.

      Chan, 45, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to 26 charges of sexually abusing young children in his care in north London.

      Terrorist who plotted to bomb UK Army base will walk free in weeks.

      A terrorist who helped plot a bomb attack on a UK Army base could be released from prison within weeks unless the Justice Secretary intervenes. Zahid Iqbal, who was part of a gang that discussed detonating a bomb at a Territorial Army site in Luton, has been deemed safe for release by the Parole Board, raising concerns among senior politicians and security figures.

      Iqbal was originally jailed for 11 years and three months, with a further five-year extension added in 2013. However, he could now be freed early, despite objections from both his prison offender manager and community offender manager.

      Boy arrested for attempted murder after two pupils stabbed at school.

      Both boys were taken to hospital, with one admitted to a major trauma centre as a priority. Officers said they were both believed to be in a serious condition.

      Due to the surrounding circumstances, the investigation is now being led by officers from Counter Terrorism Policing London, who are working closely with our local officers in response to this incident."

      According to witnesses the suspect is alleged to have shouted "Allahu Akbar", meaning "God is greatest" in Arabic, during the attack.

      I am a British-born Muslim who has converted to Christianity. According to Islam’s murderous strictures, known as sharia, it is a capital offence. And sharia-adherent Muslims very nearly killed me in my British hometown.

      This was the culmination of 20 years of Sharia-based terror. My family and I have now lived for 9 years unfree under police protection in an undisclosed location, fearing that every day could be our last.

      Another one on the list....

      Lord Matthew Doyle, the former communications chief of Sir Keir Starmer, has been suspended from the House of Lords due to his past association with a convicted paedophile. The suspension was announced by the Labour Party, and Lord Doyle has publicly apologized for his past support of Sean Morton, a former Labour councillor convicted of possessing indecent child images. Despite the suspension, Lord Doyle has stated that he will not take the Labour whip and has expressed his commitment to the party and its values. The situation has raised questions about the integrity and judgment of Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour Party as a whole.

      You can deny, but you can not hide the truth. What a pathetic bunch of liars.

      Nick Ferrari was gobsmacked as he listened to Baroness Jacqui Smith attempt to defend Keir Starmer. The prime minister has been under intense pressure since it was revealed that he appointed Lord Peter Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US, despite knowing that he maintained a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted of sex offences in 2008.

      When 10 Downing Street discovered details that showed the extent of their relationship, Starmer sacked Mandelson. The Labour leader claimed Mandelson lied about the extent of their friendship and publicly apologised to Epstein's victims for believing him. On LBC, Ferrari was joined by Smith, who claimed Starmer is "taking responsibility" for the decision. Ferrari could only laugh as he quipped: "Oh for goodness sake, Jacqui."

      When the Labour minister added that Starmer has accepted that it was the wrong decision and has apologised to Epstein's victims, the presenter said: "That's the best laugh I've had since Michael McIntyre on Saturday.

      "That is risible nonsense to say that he's taken responsibility."

      After trying to make excuses for starmer, Ferrari deterred that she was laying the blame on anyone but Starmer, declaring: "It's Peter Mandelson's fault. It's Morgan McSweeney's fault. It's the employment procedures fault. It's nothing to do with the prime minister."

      His sarcasm continued: "That poor man. How does he get through his life? Everything conspires against him. It's lucky he gets up in the morning, isn't it?"

      Well said Nick.

      Knifeman 'tried to cut off soldier's head'!

      A uniformed Army officer who was repeatedly stabbed in the street outside his home told his wife in hospital that his attacker tried to “cut my head off like Lee Rigby”, a court has heard.

      Lt Col Teeton said he was told by medical staff it was a “miracle” that he survived, having been left with a very large wound to the right side of his neck and further stab wounds to the front and back of his chest, front and back of his abdomen, left side of his lower abdomen, right groin, right upper arm and left thigh.

      In her victim impact statement, Mrs Teeton said that, when visiting her husband in hospital, he said: “Do the people at work know what he tried to do to me?” She asked him what did he try to do, and he replied: “Cut my head off, like Lee Rigby.”

      On July 16, he also searched “Woolwich soldier murdered” on the internet, which Ms Morgan said was plainly a reference to the attack on Lee Rigby in 2013.

      The 25-year-old off-duty soldier was killed in broad daylight by extremists near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, south-east London.

      Lt Col Mark Teeton said he was “forever in gratitude” to “heroes”, including his wife Eileen, who came to his aid during the attack in Sally Port Gardens, near Brompton Barracks in Chatham, Kent, on July 23 2024.

      On Monday, he told Maidstone Crown Court of his relief at still being alive as Anthony Esan, his attacker, was set to be sentenced for his attempted murder.

      Lt Col Teeton said he was told by medical staff it was a “miracle” that he survived, having been left with a very large wound to the right side of his neck and further stab wounds to the front and back of his chest, front and back of his abdomen, left side of his lower abdomen, right groin, right upper arm and left thigh.

      The problem with multiculturalism....Some do not fully integrate with society, they bring their own grievances and agendas to their host countries. Potentially dangerous especially when they gain positions of authority and influence.

      A convicted terrorist standing to become a councillor in Birmingham has said that he accepts he is “not everybody’s cup of tea”.

      Shahid Butt, 60, was jailed in Yemen in 1999 for conspiring to bomb the British consulate, an Anglican church and a Swiss-owned hotel. Prosecutors alleged the plot was part of an attempt to establish an Islamic state in the Middle Eastern country.

      Mr Butt is now standing in the Sparkhill ward as part of an alliance of pro-Palestine independent candidates across Birmingham.

      Speaking to BBC Politics Midlands, he insisted: “If they think I’m an extremist, then I can’t change that opinion – at the end of the day, it comes down to the people of Sparkhill.”

      The independent candidate continued: “As far as the law is concerned, the law doesn’t bar me in the UK from standing as a councillor.”

      Mr Butt was among 10 people, including eight Britons, convicted in Yemen in 1999 of charges of associating with armed groups, plotting murder and destruction and possessing weapons.

      He had been a follower of Abu Hamza, the Finsbury Park Mosque hate preacher who would later be sentenced to life in prison by a US court on terror charges, during the 1990s.

      Following trips to Bosnia and Afghanistan, Mr Butt went to Yemen, where he joined a gang that included Hamza’s son and stepson.

      After the group was arrested, he was found guilty of being in an armed gang and conspiring to bomb the British consulate in the country, along with an Anglican church and a Swiss-owned hotel.

      The prosecution alleged that the men were linked to an Islamic militant group that was responsible for kidnapping 16 westerners in 1998.

      Mr Butt is now representing the Independent Candidates Alliance, which has been set up by activists Akhmed Yakoob and Shakeel Afsar. Both men ran for seats in the second city at the 2024 general election on a pro-Gaza platform.

      Mr Yakoob received almost 70,000 votes in the 2024 West Midlands mayoral election.

      In a video announcing his candidacy, Mr Butt said: “With the help of Allah, with your support and with these guys behind me, I know we are going to take this.”

      Jess Phillips, the Labour MP for Yardley in Birmingham, told ITV News: “The idea that people who have been convicted of terror offences standing to represent part of my family in that area, I find that absolutely appalling.”

      Labour is braced for another backlash from Muslim voters in May over the party’s stance on Israel, with pro-Gaza independents expected to make gains.

      Heaven help us. The genie is out of the bottle!

      Megyn Kelly said about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, 'I like my half-time shows in English from ppl who love America,"

      "Why is there a guy screaming in Spanish in a field on my TV screen?" "This same guy chants 'ICE OUT' yet sits behind a heavily guarded mansion apparently on stolen land. I don’t turn on football for political rants. I turn it on to watch football."

      Outkick founder Clay Travis added, "Would any other country in the world have their signature cultural event in a foreign language? I legit have no idea what just happened."

      Many expressed frustration that they could not understand Bad Bunny's performance. Social media was inundated with complaints about the language barrier at what is traditionally viewed as a purely American event. Some leaned toward alternative programming, such as Turning Point USA's "All-American" halftime show featuring Kid Rock.

      Visuals incorporated Puerto Rican cultural elements such as jíbaros in traditional straw hats, a casita stage, domino players, and a piragua shaved-ice stand.

      A Typical government whitewash.

      Home Office 'tried to silence' adviser who raised alarm over growing Islamist threat to Britain.

      A veteran Government adviser on counter-extremism has accused the Home Office of trying to “silence” him after he criticised ministers’ handling of the growing Islamist threat to Britain.

      Fiyaz Mughal, founder of Tell Mama, stepped down from his Home Office advisory role at the end of last year, claiming he faced “insidious pressure” to avoid speaking publicly about the threat posed by Islamist ideology.

      “I actively made the decision to more robustly challenge Islamist extremism and felt it wasn’t possible to continue speaking out about it while working there,” he said.

      His departure brought to an end more than 20 years advising successive governments on extremism and radicalisation.

      The row followed an article Mr Mughal wrote for The Telegraph last February, in which he said he was stunned that Islamist extremism was not mentioned during the first 90 minutes of a Home Office summit on tackling radicalisation.

      Instead, civil servants focused on threats described as having “mixed” or “no clear ideology”, as well as misogyny, the far-right and incel culture - despite intelligence agencies repeatedly identifying Islamist extremism as the UK’s primary terror threat.

      Mr Mughal believes the current Labour administration has deliberately softened its approach to Islamist extremism for political reasons.

      “As soon as Labour came in, I recognised a shift. Why has suddenly the focus on Islamism dropped off?” he said.

      “My perspective is they feel it will cost them politically if they speak about it - they have bought into the ruse that it will cause community divisions. They desperately don’t want to lose the Muslim vote and support.”

      Those concerns intensified after the last general election, when pro-Palestinian independent candidates overturned several Labour seats.

      Five Gaza-focused independents defeated Labour incumbents, becoming the sixth-largest grouping in Parliament.

      The Muslim Vote campaign group later claimed “unprecedented” influence over the outcome.

      The group said it was formed to mobilise Britain’s 3.9 million Muslims at elections and pressure Sir Keir Starmer to meet its 18 policy demands.

      Doctors benefit from biggest pay rises of all professions.

      Thanks to Labour and the unions

      Doctors have benefited from bigger pay rises than all other professions, new figures show.
      The advertised salary for doctors hit £126,133 at the end of last year, according to data from hiring platform Indeed, marking a 68pc increase since 2016, once inflation is accounted for. This jump is far greater than any other profession.

      Details of rising pay for physicians and surgeons have emerged as Wes Streeting prepares to offer resident doctors a bigger pay rise than other NHS staff in the hope of ending a long-running dispute.

      Jack Kennedy, an economist at Indeed, said the sharp rise in doctors’ pay was largely down to inflated NHS pay settlements.

      Mr Kennedy said: “We have seen a fairly broad uplift in [doctors’] salaries. The pay settlements have contributed to that.”

      He also pointed to the growing disparity between public and private sector pay since Labour came to power.

      According to the most recent figures, public sector pay is rising at the fastest pace on record at 7.9pc, while private sector pay growth has fallen to a five-year low of 3.6pc.

      The finding comes as the Health Secretary is locked in dispute with resident doctors, who are poised to walk out unless he puts more cash on the table.

      A majority of the public opposes the strikes, according to YouGov polling.

      Pay for resident doctors has increased by 28.9pc in the last three years.

      Even Morgan McSweeney gone, the only reason Sir Keir Starmer is still clinging to office, by common consent, is that there is nobody else up to the job. Clearly, Starmer isn’t, and therefore there’s only one solution: a general election.

      How incredible. Only 19 months ago, 404 of these socialist idiots were given power. Most of them weren’t capable of running anything. Lowly trade union officials, clapped-out councillors or the offspring of failed Labour politicians.

      They scraped in courtesy of the fact that the nation thought they couldn’t be worse than the Tories. They were so wrong.

      Starmer was a disaster from Day One. Pocketing £30,000 for suits and designer glasses from Labour peer Lord Ali. Starmer had been a human rights lawyer for decades, had a £2million house, his wife worked, and yet he wouldn’t even pay for his own suits.

      A total fraud.

      it’s over for him. A matter of time. Either goes after the Gorton and Denton by-election when his decision to make Mandelson US Ambassador will turn a 13,000 majority into third place behind the Greens.

      Then there’s Wes Streeting. He has two strikes against his name. First of all, he was a Mandelson protégé. Both being gay was probably helpful. He now lets it be known that the recent text between him and Mandelson was not ‘’particularly’’ embarrassing.

      Perhaps he’d like to define ‘’particularly’’. Or he could clear that up by publishing the WhatsApp between them. Just as damning is the fact that he gave a huge press conference to announce he had single-handedly reduced the NHS waiting list, whereas the reality was that the Government had paid £3million a month to a company to go through the list and take out patients who had either died, moved away or had actually had the op.

      Ed Miliband is getting a shout. Why? He’s said to be popular at the party but was given the DCM ( Don’t Come Monday) back in 2015. Does the country want ot be run by another loser? One that has already imposed electricity prices four times higher than the US on us.

      A General Election would be the best answer. And that’s the reason it won’t happen. Labour will take any humiliation as long as they can stay in power.

      Back benchers make £93,000 a year plus any media money plus bungs from trade unions and the odd commercial company.

      Therefore, the bad news is we are going to spend the next three years watching unemployment grow (terrible for the 16-24s), growth stutter, the state sector expand while private industry contracts.

      The only good news is that the Right, in the shape of Reform and the Tories, will continue to dominate the polls, and I guarantee that when election day comes, Reform will emerge as the largest party. Labour will be destroyed.

      More scandal, who would have guessed.

      Lord who paid for Starmer and Rayner freebies named in Epstein Files

      Lord Alli made donations to Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner, and he has now appeared in the files linked to the billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

      A Labour Lord who gifted Sir Keir Starmer more than £30,000 for designer suits and spectacles has been named in the Epstein files. Waheed Alli, or Lord Alli, was at the centre of one of the first scandals of this Labour Government when it was revealed he was Sir Keir's biggest personal donor. Angela Rayner, then Deputy Prime Minister, was also embroiled in the revelations when she admitted to receiving around £3,550 from Lord Alli for working clothing.

      Chancellor Rachel Reeves was also implicated in the so-called 'Freebiegate' story when she admitted taking a donation from another Labour supporter, Juliet Rosenfield, which was also used to pay for clothing. The PM, Ms Reeves and Ms Rayner all said they would no longer accept donations to pay for clothes following the backlash in 2024. However, in what looks like another headache for Sir Keir, Lord Alli has now appeared in the Epstein Files linked to the notorious billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

      Emails unearthed from the millions of files released that Lord Alli appeared on a list of guests due to attend a dinner hosted by Epstein at the Monkey Bar restaurant in New York in February 2010, was also listed as a guest for a large dinner in August 2010.

      Lord Alli's name and that of Peter Mandelson appear in the email, and Lord Alli also appears in another alleged email from May 2012. In that message, Epstein tells a friend that Mandelson and Lord Alli were staying at Shelter Island in the Hamptons, a region near New York known as a playground for America's elite.

      In an exchange between Epstein and businesswoman Jennie Enterprise about the Hamptons, she allegedly writes "yes... u close?", to which Epstein replies with a message littered with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. He replies: "no my fined peter mandel son , former dep prime minister engalnd' gay is with another black gay , walid , currently on shelter island."

      "Walid" is understood to be a reference to Lord Alli, who, like Mandelson, is gay. Lord Alli owns a property on Shelter Island, which is now for sale.

      Manhunt launched after 'very violent' Channel migrant goes on the run
      Syrian national Adnani Mohammed was found guilty - in his absence - of two counts of beating at Weathersfield near Braintree.

      A violent Channel migrant is on the run after attacking two security guards at a former military base.

      Syrian national Adnani Mohammed was found guilty – in his absence – of two counts of beating at Weathersfield near Braintree a former Essex military base
      home to about 800 young male asylum seekers.

      Mohammed, who had been in the country for just four months, drunkenly punched and headbutted staff after demanding to see a doctor.

      One security guard suffered injuries to his mouth in what was described as a “very violent” attack.

      A warrant has been issued for Mohammed after he failed to turn up to court for the case against him.

      Mohammed had already damaged the security office at the base during a separate violent outburst.

      Witnesses told GB News the asylum seeker had demanded to see a doctor before launching his brutal attack on staff, punching and headbutting officers.

      One witness said he swiped at an officer, knocking the body-worn camera to the floor.

      He then headbutted an officer three times and kicked another in the knee.

      He had not long before the attack on the two guards apparently ransacked the office, damaged, and vandalised the security office,

      The latest news is sure to be a new blow to the government, which is facing increasing pressure over the number of migrants coming to the UK.

      That's the thanks we get.

      The problem with multiculturalism....Some do not fully integrate with society, they bring their own grievances and agendas to their host countries. Potentially dangerous especially when they gain positions of authority and influence.

      A classic example of faith above country.

      New York City's first Muslim mayor has stirred up a political storm after directly citing Prophet Muhammad's story to justify tougher sanctuary city laws.

      Speaking to roughly 400 faith leaders gathered across the five boroughs, the 34-year-old mayor didn't hold back. 'I consider my own faith, Islam, a religion built upon a narrative of migration,' Mamdani said. 'The story of the Hijra reminds us that Prophet Muhammad was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina.'

      Mamdani went further than just telling the story. He quoted from the Quran itself, citing Sura An-Nahl 16:42: 'As for those who emigrated in the cause of Allah we will surely bless them with a good home in this world.' He also referenced a hadith where the Prophet supposedly said: 'Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.'

      It's unusual, to say the least, for an American mayor to ground municipal policy in specific religious teachings. Critics immediately pounced, warning that mixing Islamic theology with city law crosses a dangerous line. They argue it risks alienating huge chunks of New York's diverse population and undermines the separation between faith and government.

      Right after his speech, Mamdani put pen to paper on Executive Order 13. The new rules ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from stepping foot on city property.

      Mamdani's religious framing adds fuel to an already blazing fight with Washington. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to cut federal money to New York over sanctuary policies. During the mayoral race last year, Trump called Mamdani a '100% Communist Lunatic'

      Mamdani's clearly drawing a parallel between his faith and modern sanctuary debates. His argument is that welcoming strangers isn't just good politics—it's a moral duty rooted in religious tradition. But opponents see something more troubling: a mayor who's letting his personal faith dictate how he runs America's biggest city.

      The backlash hasn't just come from the political right either. Some moderates worry that Mamdani's rhetoric, combined with his vocal criticism of Israel during the Gaza conflict, paints him as too ideologically rigid for a job that demands coalition-building.

      Explicitly tying Islamic teachings to policy gives critics fresh ammunition.
      What's certain is that the clash between New York's sanctuary stance and federal enforcement is escalating. Mamdani's executive order puts the city on a collision course with an administration that's already threatened retaliation.

      When you are confronted with a good idea use it....American Style ICE

      Kemi Badenoch sets out Tory plans to deport 150,000 migrants a year with Trump-style immigration crackdown
      A Removals Force modelled on the ICE agency would be given £1.6 billion and ‘sweeping new powers’ including facial recognition without warning to spot illegal immigrants.

      Kemi Badenoch plans to create a new “Removals Force” modelled on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agency aftertaking the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). She pledged to stop “silly arguments” about human rights from stopping her doing the “right thing”

      Some 34,401 people have crossed the Channel in small boats so far this year, according to PA news agency analysis of Home Office figures, putting 2025 on course to break the record for most arrivals in a single year.

      Mrs Badenoch said: “We must tackle the scourge of illegal immigration into Britain and secure our borders.

      Along with the Removals Force, the plan includes a radical overhaul of the asylum system, in which refugee status would be granted only to those threatened by a foreign government. Those fleeing laws on religion or sexuality would not be eligible, with the party saying “few people will qualify”.

      The plan will also see the immigration tribunal abolished, with all decisions on migration taken by the Home Office with only limited rights of appeal in cases where officials have acted without statutory authority.

      Immigration cases will be denied legal aid, with the Conservatives accusing solicitors of having “defrauded” the UK by “coaching” applicants, and saying there is “no need for lawyers” as people “should simply tell the truth about their circumstances”.

      The Tories have said they would look to leave the European Convention on Human Rights if they win the next election, saying the treaty had “frustrated the country’s efforts to secure its borders and deport those with no right to be here”.

      This is the only way to get real results, a much tougher approach.

      Unbelievable! Where is the justice in this?

      Left-wing ideology is skewing integrity of legal system - this one case proves it

      Left-wing politics are eroding the integrity of our legal system. That is the only conclusion that can be drawn from the outrageous acquittals this week in which six protestors from the militant group Palestinian Action were cleared after a raid on a Bristol factory run by the UK subsidiary of the Israeli defence firm Elbit systems.

      Progressive agitators are fond of trumpeting their attachment to "non-violent direct action", but there was no absence of violence in this attack, which took place in the early hours of August 6, 2024. The court heard that one activist at the wheel of a prison van smashed through the factory's perimeter fence before using the vehicle as a battering ram to enter the building. Armed with sledgehammers, other activists rushed in and began to damage equipment.

      But they were soon confronted by security guards and the police. According to the prosecution, the protestors went on the offensive with their sledgehammers, as well as whips and foam from fire extinguishers. One police sergeant, Kate Evans, had her back broken by a blow from a sledgehammer.

      Despite this mayhem, the jury at Woolwich Crown Court on Wednesday found the six activists not guilty of using or threatening unlawful violence. In addition, the jury failed to reach a verdict on charges of criminal damage or the assault on Sergeant Evans despite deliberating for 36 hours and 34 minutes.

      A retrial beckons but this week's outcome has been profoundly disturbing.

      It seems police officers can be left with a fractured spine as long as protesters have the correct political motivation. As the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism asked, "How far does impunity go? Can you paralyze Palestine? Can you kill for Palestine?"

      Driver jailed for 10 years after fatal 135mph crash

      Trad Almaghrabi, of Harlington Road, Uxbridge, Middlesex, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving on the M40 near Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.

      On Wednesday, at Aylesbury Crown Court, he was given a 10-year sentence for the first count and jailed for two years for the second, which will be served concurrently.

      The 24-year-old was disqualified from driving for 11 years and eight months, ordered to pay £1,000 in costs and had to forfeit his vehicle.

      Almaghrabi was seen leaving a pub in Uxbridge at 00:40 BST on 12 July where he had earlier bought alcohol, Thames Valley Police said.

      Police said CCTV footage showed Almaghrabi leaving the scene on foot as he walked up the slip road towards Beaconsfield Services.

      Officers added they found a Nitrous Oxide canister, cannabis and a grinder in his car which was later forensically linked to him.

      Wes Streeting is to offer resident doctors a bigger pay rise than other NHS staff in England as part of a new package of measures to try to end their long-running dispute.
      Streeting is looking at making a series of improvements to previous offers he has made, which may persuade the British Medical Association (BMA) to call off its nearly three-year-long campaign of industrial action.

      When will Starmer realise that his position is now untenable.
      Those of you that watched PMQ's today could see his discomfiture over Mandelson and he finally had to admit that he knew about the relationship BEFORE appointing him.
      Surely this suggests two possibilities a) His judgement is so bad that he is a danger in his present position or a darker situation that he was on or, in on, the take with him.
      Based on his history on Freebies and cronyism the question must be considered since Mandelson's reputation for dishonesty was well know long BEFORE the Epstein affair.

      Welcome one and all?

      An Iranian asylum seeker, who came to the UK illegally on the back of a lorry in July 2024, has been sentenced to 7.5 years for sexually assaulting a teenage girl.

      Ahmadreza Khalafi, 29, previously pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the teenage girl at St Albans Crown Court in December last year.

      His Honour Justice Mann handed Khalafi a four-and-a-half-year custodial sentence, and a further three years on licence.

      Khalafi was granted refugee status in the summer of 2024, claiming he would face persecution if he returned to Iran after converting to Christianity. (yeah right)!!!

      Illegal migrants flock to work as barbers and delivery drivers

      Illegal migrants are flocking to Britain to work as barbers, delivery drivers and nail technicians, official figures show.

      More than 1,100 illegal migrants working in warehousing, distribution or delivery services were arrested in 2025, up more than threefold from the previous year.

      It is understood the numbers are largely driven by people working as motorbike delivery drivers.

      The beauty industry – which includes barbers, nail bars and tanning salons – also emerged as a hotspot for illegal workers.

      However, restaurants, takeaways and cafés were the worst offenders for hiring illegal workers. This sector has had the highest number.

      Workers are usually paid cash-in-hand and employers are often tempted not to put the payments through the books. Cash payments also avoid the need for a bank account, which many illegal migrants do not have.

      Figures also show illegal workers employed at residential properties and at car washes. The construction industry saw the greatest year-on-year increase in 2025

      Mike Tapp, the minister for migration and citizenship, said: “I have seen first-hand how illegal working undercuts honest businesses, damages our high streets and undermines our immigration rules.

      “That is why we are tracking down and deporting illegal migrants working in the black economy, removing the incentives that draw them to Britain in the first place.

      Surely it would save a lot more time and money if they were stopped from coming in the first place.

      Keir Starmer, the man who promised us a new era of sober, grown-up government – no more Tory chaos, no more flip-flops – has just jetted off to Beijing for the first British prime ministerial visit to China in eight long years. And what a triumph it’s been. Three hours with President Xi in the Great Hall of the People, a delegation of sixty British business grandees trailing behind him like eager schoolboys on a field trip, and everyone – everyone – issued with burner phones because, well, you never know when the Chinese state might fancy a peek at your contacts. Nothing says “pragmatic, consistent partnership” quite like arriving in a country you openly admit is a systemic threat to our national security… armed with a disposable Nokia.

      Sir Keir assures us this is all terribly sophisticated. A “reset”, he calls it. A mature, clear-eyed engagement with the world’s second-largest economy. Because apparently the last lot were too inconsistent – swinging from the Cameron-Osborne “golden era” to the frostier realities of Hong Kong crackdowns, Uyghur camps, Russian sanctions-busting and routine espionage against our own Parliament. So Starmer’s bold solution? Fly straight back into the dragon’s embrace, declare it “vital” to talk, and come home waving a few crumbs: a bit of progress on tariffs (details to follow, naturally), and – joy of joys – visa-free travel for Britons staying under thirty days. How generous. The Chinese, of course, already enjoy far easier access to the UK. But never mind reciprocity; we’re pragmatic now.


      Why court a regime that spies on us, bullies Hong Kong, props up Putin and hoovers up our critical industries while our own security services warn of the threat on an almost weekly basis? Starmer’s response? We must be “clear-eyed”. Clear-eyed! The phrase of the week. He’s clear-eyed about the risks, you see, even as he poses for the cameras with the man who embodies them.

      Starmer insists we don’t have to choose between the US and China. Really? Because from where I’m sitting, it looks an awful lot like a choice – and not necessarily the one that puts British interests first.

      One suspects the business delegation loved every minute. AstraZeneca, HSBC, Jaguar Land Rover – all rubbing shoulders, eyeing lucrative deals, while the Prime Minister murmurs sweet nothings about stability and investment. Growth, you see. That’s the magic word. Never mind if it comes wrapped in surveillance and strings; as long as it helps the bottom line and, perchance, funds a few more nurses. Or not.

      Let no one say Sir Keir lacks ambition. He wants a “long-term, consistent and comprehensive strategic partnership”. Translation: the golden era, but with better branding and fewer illusions – or perhaps more. Because nothing screams consistency like lecturing the Chinese on areas where we disagree… quietly, behind closed doors, while publicly toasting deeper ties.

      One can only imagine what Xi made of it all. A British Prime Minister, fresh from electoral triumph, arriving cap in hand, burner phone in pocket, begging for scraps. Sophisticated? Mature? Or just the latest proof that when push comes to shove, economic necessity trumps principle every time.

      Welcome to the new pragmatism, folks. Clear-eyed, consistent… and ever so slightly embarrassing.

      The embarrassment that is Keir Starmer. 👇click

      Even his home secretary agrees that Keir Starmer hasn't a clue.

      Shabana Mahmood sensationally contradicted Keir Starmer by admitting Brexit is not to blame for the Channel migrant crisis.

      The Prime Minister in October labelled dinghies "Farage boats" and praised an EU-wide returns scheme.

      But the Home Secretary dismissed claims Brexit was "responsible for the boats", adding that Brussels had replaced the Dublin Agreement hailed by Sir Keir.

      Ms Mahmood told the Home Affairs Select Committee: "I would just dispute whether Dublin actually worked as was intended.

      "The EU have now themselves created a new pact because their own arrangements were not working as intended, so I would think it's a bit of a stretch to - I'm sure there's lots of other debate to be had about the rights and wrongs of Brexit, but is Brexit responsible for the boats? No don't think that's true.

      The admission will be another blow to Prime Minister Sir Keir, who sought to blame Brexit for the carnage in the Channel.
      And Ms Mahmood sparked alarm when she repeatedly refused to say if she was confident Channel migrants would fall this year.

      Some 41,472 migrants crossed the Channel last year, up from 36,566 in 2024.

      She told the Home Affairs Select Committee: "Those numbers are obviously not where I want to be either.

      "This is an issue of deep concern in my own constituency and my city as well, so I fully hear what you and your constituents are saying, and it's exactly where I am as well.

      There are those that think that the rich do not pay their fair share of taxes despite the evidence that to increase their tax burden is counter productive.
      To evaluate this idea some measure is required and perhaps the most understandable measure would be to compare the tax paid as a percentage of total income. The following is such a comparison.

      Tax Bands Tax Paid %age of Income
      A) £0 to £12,570 0 0
      B) £12,570 to £37,700 0 To £5,026 2 to 13.3
      C) £37,701 to £125,140 £5026 to £40,001 13.3 to 32.0
      D) £1,000,000 £433,688 43.4
      E) £2,000,000 44.2
      This ignore that the rich have a opulent life style and pay more VAT and Council Tax than most, also the employ domestic help and pay (indirectly) PAYE and NI.
      I wonder if many of the moaners would be happy to have almost half of our remuneration taken away at source.

      Ps. Sorry I set this out as a table but the system has removed the spacing

      Lies and deception Nothing new from this Labour government

      Labour massaging NHS performance by paying hospitals £3m a month to delete people from waiting lists

      Ministers have been ridiculed for paying hospitals £3million a month to delete patients from waiting lists - making it look like the NHS is treating more people than it is.

      Sir Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting have repeatedly boasted about Labour’s success in cutting the number of patients waiting for treatment since they came to power.

      But new analysis of NHS figures suggests hundreds of thousands are being deleted from lists without receiving the treatment they were waiting for in a process known as ‘list cleansing’ or ‘validation’.

      Artificially’ reducing the waiting list gave a misleading impression of the NHS's performance.

      Two weeks ago the prime minister claimed figures showed that NHS waiting lists were down by ‘more than 86,000’, which was the ‘largest fall in a month for over two years’.

      ‘These aren't just numbers - it is thousands of people getting the care they need,’ he said.

      However, this drop was only achieved by removing thousands of patients from the waiting list through the ‘validation’ process.

      In November - the month that Starmer was referring to - 346,300 were removed from NHS waiting lists. This was 82,000 more than the month before and almost the entire claimed drop.

      However, NHS data also shows hospitals carried out about 10 per cent fewer operations and appointments in November than they did in October, suggesting fewer people were being treated.
