Before ‘setting a woman on fire’, this convict was arrested 72 times By the age of 50, Lawrence Reed had been arrested 72 times. His charges stretched back at least three decades. Reed notched up number 73 earlier this month, when he set a young woman called Bethany MaGee on fire on a Chicago train, leaving her severely injured. He watched as the 26-year-old was engulfed in flames and walked off when the train doors finally opened, and she collapsed on the platform, prosecutors claim. Later, while being taken into custody, he allegedly shouted “burn b----” and “burn alive b----.” Critics, including Donald Trump, the US president, condemned the attack as the latest in a litany of cases of career criminals being allowed to roam the streets and potentially harm innocent victims because of misguided soft-on-crime policies. -

They Hide in plain sight, the authorities turn a blind eye. Best to let it carry on, heaven forbid they cause offence and called racists. Just like the grooming gangs. ISIS's new leader is migrant who 'preached in UK' before heading bloodthirsty terror group. The jihadist is perhaps best known for burning his British passport in front of a crowd of supporters at a mosque. But he has done far worse than that... https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2140803/isiss-leader-abdul-qadir-mumin-somalia -

Unbelievable! Heartbreaking. These people should not live amongst us. If they want to continue their barbaric practises they should stay in their own countries, We don't want them. A teenage girl who was tied up and thrown into a swamp to drown in an honour killing had infuriated her strict father by refusing to wear an Islamic headscarf and by using social media, Dutch prosecutors have said. The body of 18-year-old Ryan Al Najjar was found gagged, her hands tied behind her back and her ankles taped together, dumped in a swamp six days after she vanished from the family home in Joure in May last year. Her brothers, Mohamed, 23, and Muhanad Al Najjar, 25, are now on trial for her murder, while their father, Khaled - accused of ordering the killing - has fled back to Syria. Investigators found her father's DNA under Ryan's fingernails but prosecutors say they cannot determine whether he or one of her brothers carried out the killing 'Honor killings are completely unacceptable,' the prosecutor said, 'This is a form of femicide'. Dutch authorities on Friday demanded prison sentences of up to 25 years for the three suspects. -

Former Islamic teacher, 71, jailed for sex offences against little girls as young as 7. 71-year-old former Islamic teacher in Ipswich, who was convicted of numerous non-recent sexual assaults, has been jailed. Hafez Ashraf Uddin, of Wivenhoe Road, Barking, appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday 21 November, where he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He has also been ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life and been made subject of an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order. Uddin was found guilty of 13 counts of indecent assault at Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday, June 5, following a trial lasting almost four weeks.

Nigel Farage eyes red wall wipeout after Reform steals 'bellwether' seat from Labour in historic win 👏👏👏 Reform UK has bagged another by-election win that could pave the way for greater gains in Labour's heartland. Reform snatched victory from Labourin a Sunderland by-election this week in a dramatic swing, taking home 45.2 per cent of the vote. Sir Keir Starmer's party, meanwhile, slipped to third place in the Hetton ward by-election, with a share of just 22.7 per cent of the vote, falling behind an independent candidate who finished up on 25.6 per cent. Why the win is so significant The seat is regarded as a 'bellwether' ahead of Sunderland City Council's May elections. Bellwether seats are constituencies where the local result tracks a wider voting trend. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/nigel-farage-eyes-red-wall-wipeout-after-reform-steals-bellwether-seat-from-labour-in-historic-win/ar-AA1RlrVc?ocid=socialshare -

Fury over Police Federation boss £700,000 salary and 100% bonus The leader of a staff association for rank-and-file police officers has received a 100 per cent bonus for the past two years as he was paid £1.4million over the period. Mukund Krishna, chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales, received a total annual remuneration of £701,100 for each of 2024 and 2025. The former management consultant's annual salary had already been disclosed on Tuesday as £342,000 after a freedom of information request by a police officer. But now, the federation has also said he received a 100 per cent bonus 'retention payment' and a 5 per cent contribution of £17,000 to his pension for each year. Mr Krishna's total remuneration means he receives the biggest paycheque of any trade association or union leader in Britain, according to The Times. No wonder he's smiling. -

US suspends Afghan immigration requests after National Guards shooting It's time to stop this madness! The US has suspended all immigration requests for Afghan nationals after two National Guard soldiers were shot near the White House. It comes after the suspect of Wednesday’s shooting, which US President Trump labelled as an “act of terror”, was identified by the Department of Homeland Security as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal. It is understood he arrived in the US in September 2021. The two soldiers, who were part of a militarized law enforcement mission ordered by Trump months ago, were hospitalised in critical condition. Tens of thousands of Afghan nationals entered the US under special immigration protections following the US withdrawal from the country in 2021, under former president Joe Biden. The 29-year-old suspect is understood to have entered the country under the Operation Allies Welcome programme. -

Labour support continues to fall as Reform steals triple by-election victory. Labour's dwindling support across the country has been laid bare once again after the party lost ground in each of the seven council by-elections on Thursday, while Nigel Farage's Reform UK headed in the opposite direction. By-elections were held in Cheshire East, Dumfries and Galloway, East Sussex, Redcar and Cleveland and Stratford-on-Avon. The by-election was called following the resignation of Ashley Farrall days before he was jailed for attempting to pervert the course of justice. Ex-Labour councillor jailed for 12 months after trying to stop justice. -

Miliband's dash for Net Zero lands millions of families with yet another energy bills hike Millions of families are to be hit with another rise in energy bills this winter because of Ed Miliband's dash for Net Zero. Energy regulator Ofgem said government 'policy costs' were a key driver in the latest rise, which takes the price cap to £1,758 a year. Bills will rise even though wholesale energy prices have fallen by four per cent. The cap is £190 higher than when Labour came to power last year, despite Mr Miliband's pre-election pledge to cut bills by £300. The situation is so embarrassing for the Government that Rachel Reeves is now considering action in next week's Budget to remove the cost of things like connecting wind farms to the grid from energy bills and pay for them through general taxation. But critics tonight called on Keir Starmer to 'rein in' Mr Miliband and bring a halt to the remorseless rise in UK energy costs, among the highest in the developed world.

Walk down Uxbridge High Street and on the surface, it appears like any other. But scratch beneath and you'll find a town struggling at the centre of the UK's migrant crisis. It's a situation that has caused an unbearable financial burden to be shouldered by the local authority, which is now splashing out more than £10million a year on paying for asylum seeker accommodation. For a town already struggling with squeezed services, many residents told the Express the issue is tearing the community apart. Susan Weston, 66, said there was a "growing concern that all these young men coming over are actually, homeless, paperless She warned the situation is "causing this country an awful lot of problems" and said Sir Keir Starmer, What is he doing as Prime Minister, has he got any idea? I don't think he has. Sir Keir Starmer was being "pushed by the Muslim population", alleging it was "obvious, otherwise why would all these fighting men, muslims, be coming over to this country? Well, they're votes for Labour." Colin Easthope, 73, who has lived in the area for 28 years. "Instead we are giving away money overseas, and not looking after our own in this country. Labour are a 'no-no' from me. "It's a struggle to hear English on the high street. It takes a week to get an appointment. It's changed in the three years I've lived here," One of the flashpoints that epitomised local division occurred early this year when a local man chased a group of youngsters into a shopping center after they "ran into him" and "pushed him" before shouting "English B*stard". -

The BBC has just given Donald Trump more fuel. Apologies roll off the production line. The BBC has turned the insincere apology into an industrial process. Its latest offering arrived when presenter, Rajini Vaidyanathan, disrespectfully referred several times to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales as “Catherine Middleton” — her maiden name — while the written statement demoted her further to “Catherine, Princess of Wales”, a style reserved for divorcees. After nearly fifteen years of marriage and a public life defined by selfless duty, this was no oversight. It was a calculated slight from a broadcaster that has never bothered to hide its disdain for the monarchy as a traditional pillar of British society.

Racism in the Animal Kingdom: Is an innate important defence, protect and survival part of nature. A thread of cases of racism between regional variants of the same species of animal.

'Most deadly' strain of virus sweeps Britain - everything we know Patients with the virus often report a higher fever, but in some cases, it can be deadly. Have you had your Flu jab this season? Doctor explains how to prepare for the flu season Data from Australia indicates that the H3N2 flu strain has caused the country's worst influenza season on record, a trend that health experts warn could be mirrored in Britain as winter approaches. In Japan, the same strain has led to widespread school closures as infections reach epidemic levels, with thousands of people requiring hospital treatment. Health officials in Britain have already warned that flu has arrived around a month earlier than usual, raising concerns that too few eligible people are taking up the offer of a free NHS flu vaccine. The latest figures reveal that two in five care home residents are still unvaccinated, prompting renewed calls for vulnerable groups to come forward for their jabs. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has warned H3N2 "can kill" and has called on parents to give their children the flu vaccine nasal spray. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2132910/most-deadly-strain-virus-sweeps -
