A 36 year old foreign whose nationality is unknown… serving 21 years for offences including kidnap, GBH and possession of an offensive weapon in public…. Has been LOST. After he wandered out of an open prison. Read that again. Also, everything is fine 🤡

Shazad Khan was in possession of explosive materials & iron shrapnel, similar to the device used at the Manchester Arena by Salman Abedi. It killed 22 people. He was jailed for 3 years & 11 months. Lucy Connolly was jailed for 31 months for an X post.

🚨BREAKING: SCHOOL GOVERNORS TOLD TO DISMISS ANY GROOMING GANG CONCERNS RAISED BY PARENTS WOW. THIS IS HORRIFIC. Training provided to school Governors says you should dismiss concerns of "men of a particular religion committing violent crimes against women" One parent said - “Thousands of girls were gang raped and the authorities ignored them. This training enables more abuse.” HOW CAN THEY STILL BE DOING THIS?

M y monologue from today’s Times at One with Andrew Neil @TimesRadio The British economy is in a right old pickle and you might think whoever has been Chancellor of the Exchequer these past 18 months should bear at least some of the responsibility. But not Rachel Reeves.  Everybody and everything is to blame — bar her. Not me, guv, is the new Treasury mantra.  Even Brexit is being wheeled out, which she now says is undermining her economic strategy. Perhaps she didn’t know it happened when she unveiled her first Budget a year ago. She certainly didn’t mention it then. Now she does. Curious.  Poor productivity is another of her culprits. Again, we’ve known about this for many years. Many of us warned that the OBR’s forecasts on productivity were too rosy. It’s recognised that at last, hence the downgrade in its upcoming economic predictions, which increases the black hole the Chancellor has to fill, this time one of her own making.  But it’s the Tories to blame, claims Ms Reeves. And it’s true they left a poor legacy on productivity. But public sector productivity fell 0.7% in the second quarter of this year — the steepest fall in three years. Is that really the fault of the Tories too? High borrowing costs are holding her back too, she says. Especially since we’re paying a ton of money in interest to service the debt. But I don’t remember Labour in opposition ever telling the Tories to borrow less. Indeed quite the reverse. During the so-called austerity years and the pandemic, Labour wanted the government to spend even more.  And if we’re borrowing too much, why did she borrow an extra £30 billion in her first Budget? Which along with the extra £40 billion in taxes probably does more to explain the current plight of the economy than anything the Chancellor blamed this morning.  Even Donald Trump is in her sights for the global headwinds we now face, as if his obsession with tariffs was one of life’s great unknowns. Maybe it was in 11 Downing Street.  The Chancellor says her priorities are NHS waiting lists, reducing the national debt and cutting the cost of living.  But despite the billions she’s already thrown at the NHS, waiting lists are down only a quarter of a million since the summer of 2024 and still stand at 7.36m. Why? Because healthcare productivity is down 1.5% on the year. So much for NHS reform. The national debt is rising, not falling. The cost of living will hardly be helped by piling on extra taxes. Yet that is where we’re heading.  Today’s early morning party political broadcast by the Chancellor was all about softening us up for big tax rises in breach of manifesto pledges. A not-so-subtle rolling of the pitch.  If income tax thresholds are frozen for another two years and tax rates increased by 2p she’ll raise an extra £25 billion a year to fill in her black hole. Some variation of that is what we’re in for.  Yet Chancellor Reeves still has the effrontery to claim she’s fixed the economy’s foundations. If that was true she wouldn’t be coming back for a shed load more in tax for the second year running.  Unemployment is rising, inflation is the highest in the G7, growth is faltering (and is barely above 1% anyway), our national debt is rising faster than any major market economy, the tax burden is at a record level and about to rise more and total public sector productivity is close to stagnant.  If that’s fixing the foundations the Chancellor must have used a cowboy builder. No doubt without the proper licenses.

So Rachel Reeves was told by two separate estate agents that her £3,200 a month Dulwich house needed a licence before she rented it out, and both even offered to sort it for her. Getting a licence means the council checks everything. It forces the landlord to declare the true ownership of the property, including any trusts, joint owners or companies. It requires details of the mortgage, whether it is genuinely buy to let, and demands proof of all safety certificates for gas, electrics and fire alarms. It reveals the exact rental income being received, who the tenants are, and what type of tenancy agreement exists. It also connects the address and the owner to any previous enforcement or tax history. If she had applied, all of that would be logged publicly with Southwark Council, searchable by anyone. So what was she trying to hide? Was it a residential mortgage, which would breach her lender’s terms? Was she avoiding declaring rental income or delaying capital gains tax? Was she concealing who is actually renting it or how long for? Or did she simply assume, as an MP and the Shadow Chancellor, that the rules do not apply to her? Because no normal landlord would risk thousands in fines, rent repayment orders, or public exposure for a mistake that two separate agents warned her about and even offered to fix. Something does not add up here.

India’s digital ID disaster is a warning to the world. Over a billion people were forced into a biometric system linking food, pensions, and healthcare to a single digital ID. The result? A humanitarian crisis. Criminals hacked and cloned identities, leaving families starving, elderly without pensions, and the sick turned away from hospitals. In one state alone, two dozen people starved to death after being denied rations due to system failures. Millions of fake accounts siphoned funds meant for the poor, creating a black market for stolen identities. Sold as “secure,” it became a tool for control and exploitation. When survival depends on a single ID, a glitch—or a hacker—can erase your access to life itself. This isn’t progress. It’s a blueprint for dystopia.

Update from the Killing Fields of Sudan: Maternity hospital massacre leaves 460 dead as patients and staff are butchered; 2,000 civilians were executed in two days. UN resolutions: zero. Protesters in London: couple of dozen. Coverage of Sudan carnage in media: minimal.

Sussex Police say an officer acted lawfully after pushing a woman during an altercation on St James Street, Brighton. A review of bodycam footage found the force used was reasonable and proportionate. 🔗 sussex.news/brighton-hove/vi… @CrimeLdn @NormanBrennan

Humans have mined 700 million tons of copper in all of history. We need the same again in just 20 years to hit “net zero”. oh look it’s at near record prices ‘Saving the planet’ is very profitable … as long as taxpayers continue to fund it 💣

The Afghan migrant accused of killing a man in Uxbridge arrived in the UK via a lorry in 2020. Local resident Wendy Spindlow: "The community spirit has gone. Everyone is angry, upset and frightened. They're not fleeing from a warzone, they're building an army." @dailysamara1

Who knew ?… Only been saying it years.

Remember when Starmer told us that Digital ID was a great idea because India had done it 🚨 Massive Aadhaar (Indian Digital ID) data breach. Hackers sold personal info of 815 million citizens on the dark web, including names, IDs, and addresses for $80K a time.

Raped by Sixty different Pakistanis from the age of 12 Pakistani Paedo Gang Rapers Vikram Singh, 46, Asif Hussain, 33, Arshad Jani, 33, Mohammed Imran, 38, Taimoor Khan, 28, Akbari Khan, 36, Taxi Drivers The previous record was 50 separate rapes on a girl between the ages of 13 to 16 These Taxi Drivers have cheated, they’ve used drugs to stupefy her and they’ve started on her when she was 12, that’s how they’ve managed 60 rapes by sixty different Pakistani Rapists. I don’t care what excuses they have I want these Rapists deported, if they’ve got dual nationality deport them, if they’ve got a cousin in Pakistan deport them. I want all Rapists histories scrutinised and all dual nationals and foreigners deported, if they don’t want to voluntarily leave keep them in prison as national security risks until they do! They were found guilty of 20 offences including rape, sexual activity with a child, administering a substance to overpower for sexual activity and arranging child prostitution

Dear @WesStreeting, I’m sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you could remind us all how strongly you spoke up when this happened.

Atefeh Sahaaleh, a 16-year-old Iranian girl was publicly hanged for being raped. She was murdered by the Islamic regime because she reported that she was raped. Under Sharia law, being raped is considered ‘sex outside of marriage’, and it’s a capital crime.

👉In NHS, men who claim to be women don't need secret cameras to watch women undress- they can just go in the women's changing room. They can also expose themselves. And the women who object will be deemed the problem - and subjected to shaming seminars by the same blokes.

🚨🚨BRADFORD: MALE CARE-WORKER JAILED FOR ASSAULTS AT NURSING HOME Fazal Mateen, 45, a care-home support worker, who sexually assaulted a female colleague and a “highly vulnerable” resident - jailed for just 23 months - of which he'll serve just half.👇 Mateen committed the offences at Burger Court - a residential care home which supports adults with complex mental health needs and learning disabilities. In his defence, Mateen produced a reference from an unnamed local councillor recommending him for "any suitable role" & praising his “enthusiasm.” ⁉️Who was this councillor⁉️ Judge Smith rejected it but still gave him credit for a guilty plea - even though Mateen still denied the offences and showed no remorse - as it meant the "inherently vulnerable" victim wouldn’t have to testify. Some heroic gesture that was - though highly doubtful his guilty plea was for her benefit... On release he’s banned from working with children - but he should be banned from working with any women and girls - vulnerable or otherwise. He clearly poses a high risk to females. What a disgrace that extremely vulnerable women - and the women who care for them - are subjected to these horrific predatory men. Appalling.

Evil bastard! 🤬🤬 I wish nothing but evil upon him.🤬 🚨A rapist who threw a woman out of a second storey window after brutally beating her, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 19 years. Twisted Benjamin Coates, 42, violently kicked his victim’s head and face before trying to murder her. The woman, who can’t be named for legal reasons, broke both her legs in the horror fall on December 11 last year. She was found “covered in blood” after an evil campaign of “unimaginable suffering”. Police were called after neighbours heard her chilling screams and she was rushed to hospital. Doctors discovered she had been struggling with broken ribs for two weeks before the near-fatal attack. An investigation then uncovered eight months of both physical and emotional abuse from that had begun in April 2024. Coats had raped, beat and strangled his victim multiple times across in his reign of terror. The “violent, manipulative and controlling” abuser also threated the woman’s family in attempts to keep her silent. A jury found Coates guilty of attempted murder, five counts of rape, intentional strangulation, controlling coercive behaviour, threatening to share intimate images, and threats to kill at Portsmouth Crown Court. The depraved rapist was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 19 years. Elizabeth Medland, of the Crown Prosecution Service, told the court: “Benjamin Coates has now been exposed for who he truly is – a violent, manipulative, and controlling individual. His vile actions have had a tremendous impact on the victim’s life. “It’s difficult to comprehend the unimaginable suffering this man has caused in his attempts to gain power over her. “Coates used every trick in the book to prevent his behaviour coming to court, including threats to kill the victim and her family. He is now in a place where he can no longer cause harm to them. “The use of emotional manipulation, physical control and sexual violence is utterly unacceptable, and the Crown Prosecution Service is dedicated to ensuring perpetrators are brought to justice.” Detective Sergeant Lucia Davies of the Eastern Criminal Investigations Department, who led the investigation into the monster, said: “Benjamin Coates has received the only sentence appropriate for the unimaginable devastation and pain he has caused; a life behind bars. “The depravity of the offences he has committed against the victim and her family are beyond words and I am glad that this dangerous man will not be able to subject any one else to this horrific behaviour. “I cannot commend the victim enough for her bravery and courage in supporting us to bring this man to justice.” The DS hailed the woman for her “unwavering strength” and credited her for helping the force serve justice. “I know that no sentence will ever turn back time and undo the damage Coates has done, but I hope that knowing he will never be free will eventually help her begin her journey to rebuilding her life,” Davies added. “I understand that coming forward and reporting to us can feel impossibly difficult and scary, but to anyone who is in an abusive relationship of any kind, I promise you that if you bring this to us, you will be listened to, you will be heard and we will do everything in our power to ensure that the perpetrator is brought to justice.”

Wayne O'Rourke served longer in prison than an illegal migrant who sexually assaulted a CHILD. Let that sink in. #TwoTierJustice 🇬🇧
