This duplicitous rat worked with Phil Shiner, who conspired to use the courts to work against our troops, and represented terrorists. He would want you to forget it now, but that’s all you need to know. order-order.com/2024/12/11/s…
"We rely on what you do"🗣️ The Prime Minister has thanked the Armed Forces for everything they do, praising the "driving sense of purpose" that keeps the country safe Sir Keir Starmer emphasised his appreciation for their sacrifice and commitment

Dear @BBCNews I was in Israel during both Intifadas. I saw the violence first hand. Suicide bombings, petrol bombs and mass stabbings are not benign. Calling this “mostly unarmed” is to sanitise Islamic terrorism. Do you have any real journalists left? Asking for a friend.

Labour put a Labour peer in charge of the rape gang inquiry then admit it won’t be exhaustive. That’s not an inquiry. It’s a stitch-up. If they were serious, they’d appoint a judge, expose every failure, deport the rapists, and ban visas to Pakistan until abusers are taken back. Victims, like Jade deserve justice, not more cover-ups.👇 The case of Jade Nurse. Her story, published this week is a catalogue of failure: raped by hundreds of men from the age of 14. “Freshies” from Pakistan who were flown in to rape them. A system of targeted gang rape that operated in the open, and likely still does. This wasn’t just grooming. It was sexual exploitation tourism, happening under the nose of the British state. What visas were these men arriving on? Visitor visas? Spousal visas? Were they ever vetted? Were they ever removed? How many even left? We issue hundreds of Pakistani visitor visas every single day over 200,000 granted last year alone, more than double the number issued just two years earlier, with barely any meaningful checks on criminal history, local enforcement records, or links to rape gang networks, how many, like the men Jade described, are here to rape? If we had a single serious safeguarding department in Whitehall, these questions would already be answered. But they’re not because no one dares ask. How many more Jades are there? We now know that what happened in Rotherham, Rochdale wasn’t an exception. It was a model. Networks of Pakistani men were allowed to operate openly for over a decade across towns and cities in England. They weren’t just ignored. They were enabled by police, by social services, and by politicians who feared losing their seats or individuals who feared being called racist more than they feared being complicit in the rape of children. These weren’t isolated incidents. They were nationwide, organised, targeted abuse. The victims were mainly white girls. The rapists knew it. They called them “white bitches”.” They told the victims the police wouldn’t act, and if they did they would say the victim is racist . And for years, they were right. If Labour or the Conservatives want to talk about protecting women and girls, they can start here: How many rapists are coming in from Pakistan? And how many have been deported? If Pakistan refuses to take back its sex offenders, the UK must introduce immediate visa bans. That’s what real safeguarding looks like. You don’t protect women by letting the risk grow. You stop it. You remove it. Or you lose the right to say you care. Protection means prevention. Right now, a convicted sex offender can fight deportation under “Article 8 right to family life.” He has rights. His victims don’t. And while Labour clings to the ECHR, British girls are targeted. Borders matter. Enforcement matters. And nothing in Labour’s plan tackles either. Labour wants to teach boys to respect girls. But boys don’t learn respect from worksheets. They learn it from what the state tolerates. And what the state has tolerated for decades is the mass rape and torture of British girls, while the state let the guilty go free and kept the door open to more. We are not short announcements. We are short of action. The only way to make this right is to do what no government has done, not even the Conservatives, who had every chance and looked away: Admit the truth about who was responsible .Remove every offender who has no right to be here. Cut off the pipeline of visas from countries, such as Pakistan where rape is being exported And stop pretending this is about demonising a group of people. Its not. It’s about justice. Because justice for Jade and every other girl like her will never come from a new strategy. It will only come from a reckoning.

Keir Starmer has proved to be completely USELESS — but he’s been a great recruiter for @SpeechUnion. This is the most AUTHORITARIAN government in a generation, and more and more people are concerned that their right to free speech is under attack. We’ve grown from 14,000 members at the time of the last election to over 40,000 today. Our staff has grown from 17 to 25 over the course of this year alone. Since the Free Speech Union was founded in February 2020, we’ve handled more than 5,100 cases — including 1,800 this year. The government insists that employers urge their employees to join a union. We urge you to join Britain’s fastest-growing union. Join the Free Speech Union today 👇

Closer relationship with EU might be desirable if it delivers significant benefits for UK. It isn’t if it simply involves us bribing them in an attempt to get them to treat us less vindictively. Starmer is not the leader to negotiate a better relationship. He will only concede.

Excellent to hear that Birmingham is finally making a stand against ‘hostile vehicles’. These vehicles have been a problem for some time. Often at risk of radicalisation.
Big changes for Birmingham city centre! 🚧 We’ve installed hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) bollards and upgraded CCTV at strategic locations to keep everyone safe in the city centre. These measures stop hostile vehicles from entering pedestrian areas, so you can enjoy the famous Frankfurt Christmas Market with confidence. Hear from Councillor Jamie Tennant and Iain Moran from Crowd Guard about how we’re making Birmingham safer. #BirminghamSafe #CitySafety #FrankfurtMarket #SafeBirmingham”

Slippery Starmer really is a piece of work. When it comes to pensioners, farmers, businesses and workers there is no money and they all need to be taxed to the hilt. But when it comes to sucking up to the EU (another £6bn on another terrible deal for Erasmus) strutting around on the international stage, wage rises for his union paymasters and net zero extremism, money is no problem and can be sprayed around as if there is no tomorrow. The country cannot take much more of this.

Democracy - Starmer's Labour style - in action. And announced as parliament goes into Recess. Hmmm
**BREAKING** The Government says it is "minded" to delay more local elections if councils want them pushed back by a year from May because of its ongoing local government reorganisation. Councils have until midnight on Jan 15 to apply for a delay. Other parties are furious. The Tories' local goverment spokesman Paul Holmes has asked: "What does this Labour Government have against democracy?" Reform UK's views not yet known. More now on @GBNEWS.

Starmer has now created clear precedent. The British Prime Minister can apparently, on a whim: ✔️ Cancel elections in which the governing party will do badly. ✔️ Gerrymander who gets to vote to tilt things in the governing party’s favour ✔️ Weaponise the instruments of state, including the police and MI5, against political opponents, at taxpayer expense, to publish a “report” 5 weeks before elections. ✔️ Have his Attorney General attack the character of his main political opponent. ✔️ Withdraw basic human rights like jury trials. All without any of this in his manifesto, and no electoral mandate. All well noted.

wtf is the Bloomberg Harvard course - and why are our mayors being trained in it?
Leadership is about collaboration. It was a privilege to have taken part in the Bloomberg Harvard course in 2022. Now with the focus on the UK, in partnership with @LSEnews, more metro mayors can experience the exceptional thinking at the heart of Mike Bloomberg’s initiative.

The whole ecosystem around this Palestine Action hunger strike issue is troubling. We’ve already seen a spiral to ever greater manichaean extremism in this movement. Now they and their supporters have imbibed the martyrdom fetish that has been so destructive in other such groups.

Progress is progress. It is an important step to acknowledge that “words have meaning and consequence” and that the hate marchers have blood on their hands. The test will be the CPS prosecuting. Watch the hate movement show its true colours this evening. news.met.police.uk/news/join…

Why did that necessitate your histrionic outburst about our sons and daughters (‘useless white men’ in case you forgot, you prick) “having to fight”? That cyber threat is a job for IT specialists and the government to counter and resolve. Our shores are at less risk from Russia than we are from illegals, loss of freedom of speech and the encroaching EU.

Problem with this is food is still up at 4.2% which is why every time I shop it feels like I am now unable to afford what I recently bought, which is quite bleak. That’s how most people experience inflation. Simply telling them it’s coming down won’t help. They have to feel it.
Bigger fall than expected. Consensus was for 3.5%. Core inflation also down below expectations. Door wide open for the @bankofengland to cut rates tomorrow

Sorry, these costings for Erasmus are nuts. Membership for the *first* year of Erasmus will be £570 million and that already includes a 30% “introductory discount”. We paid £296 million in 2019. Some discount…
