This is just not true. As soon as I became foreign secretary I asked the security services the same question and they replied that there was no evidence of any successful interference in the 2016 referendum, by Russia or any other power.
Either the security services have changed their view - which would be very odd - or Burnham is lying about what he has been told. After all Starmer was in power for two years and had access to exactly the same information.

Britain is a Christian country, yet this image is a sad reminder that if we do not conserve our own faith and traditions, nobody else will.
For the Archbishop of Canterbury to honour on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, a cleric who praised Bin Laden is a significant lapse.
I’m pleased that Conservative shadow cabinet members @NJ_Timothy @Rebecca_SPaul discovered some of this information and called this out publicly, forcing the church to change its position. Yes, the church might have been ignorant of some facts, but the presence of a woman with a full face veil, covered head to toe, in an outfit widely known as a visible symbol of female oppression should have given pause for thought.
Our Culture and Integration Commission was set up to end this sort of naive belief that all cultures are equal. No other party in British politics is doing this work to protect our culture.

So sorry to learn of Ann Widdecombe’s death We were on opposite sides on the hunt ban but we became co -campaigners to Leave the EU and more recently against the Windsor Framework Her speech as a staunch Roman Catholic in Dromore Orange Hall was met by a standing ovation We just don’t make outspoken principled politicians like her anymore
A sad day

After seven decades of socialist immiseration, Cuba has just announced that it will:
🔴Enlarge the private sector
🔴Ease price controls
🔴Lift energy taxes
🔴Cut spending
🔴Reduce the national debt
Britain is doing the opposite of all these things.

In 1957, Golda Meir said: "If the Arabs lay down their arms, there will be no more war. If Israel lays down its arms, there will be no more State of Israel."
This is still true in 2026.

In France there is a new activity that the Left is getting their knickers in a twist about.
Le Canon Français is running massive banquets. For about £70 you can have great food and drinks and spend time singing patriotic songs.
The “Far Left” is furious.
LFI says it has evidence of racist chanting, and of immigrant staff being insulted. With pork regularly on the menu, they say the feasts are purposely designed to exclude Muslims and vegetarians.
Meanwhile, everyday people who love France, love food and beer are having the time of their lives.

No words are needed; her cry says it all. The little girl, who grew up with "her" bull, teaches us a lesson in humanity and empathy by desperately begging for this animal's life. "He didn't do anything, he just wants to go home."

I've been doing jury service these last two weeks. It's a really special thing.
If you're lucky, as I was in both cases I was involved in, you are sitting with a bunch of fellow citizens who consider the facts and evidence *as facts and evidence*, guided by the judge.
You discuss and consider the matter together, putting things forward and taking critique off it, returning to the charge made against the defendant(s).
When it's like that it's a very beautiful thing. A form of democracy where the people decide what happens.
And in both cases I was involved in, the judge made a point of saying how valuable juries were: of people coming in off the street, giving their time to consider whether others among them are guilty or not guilty (or at least not proven guilty) of the charges made against them.
It's a special thing. We give it up at our peril I think.

If ever there was a cause for western feminists and liberals to back it’s this. A women’s football team collectively standing up to a brutal islamofacist regime - risking all of their lives in the process. It’s the kind of story of extraordinary courage that will one day be told in a Hollywood movie. But there’s been barely a peep from them. Why? Is their activism nothing more than safe performative signalling? Will none of them break ranks?
It’s awful

Thank you Trevor Phillips
🚨TREVOR PHILLIPS RAGES: STARMER IGNORING GROOMING GANGS BECAUSE PERPETRATORS ARE MOSTLY PAKISTANI MUSLIM MEN 😤
“I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW CROSS I AM ABOUT IT”, Phillips declared, barely containing his anger. 😡
Brands Government Response “Utterly, Utterly Shameful” and “So Obviously Political” – Accuses Ministers of Cowardice to Avoid Offending Key Demographics in Labour-Held Seats and Councils 🎯
Sir Trevor Phillips, the former chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, has unleashed a furious condemnation of the government's handling of the grooming gangs scandal.
He accused those in government of deliberately refusing to confront the issue head-on because of “the demographic of the people involved, largely Pakistani Muslim men” and because so much of the abuse occurred “in Labour-held seats and councils who would be offended by it”.
“What the government is doing is utterly, utterly shameful. It is so obviously political. The people in government who are responsible for this should really be ashamed of themselves because it’s so obviously that they’re not doing this because of the demographic of the people involved, largely Pakistani Muslim men and also in Labour-held seats and councils who would be offended by it and that’s clearly the reason that they’re not pursuing this, and it is utterly shameful given what has been done to these children by these men. I cannot tell you how cross I am about it.”
The outburst lays bare deep frustration at what he sees as a politically motivated refusal to act decisively – prioritising electoral sensitivities over justice for the thousands of vulnerable girls who were systematically abused.
This is rage from one of Britain’s most respected voices on equality and race. The question now: will Keir Starmer and Labour finally listen – or continue to look the other way?
