This has been agreed privately because Labour know exactly how unpopular it would be.
Andy Burnham wants to increase foreign aid from 0.2% to 0.7% of GNI, almost trebling the foreign aid bill.
While Britain is drowning in debt and our public services are deteriorating.
Why are we sending vastly more money abroad when we can’t even fix the problems at home?
This government does not have Britain's best interests at heart.
Jess Phillips is the lowest of the low
She's deflecting from the migrant leaflets telling them not to rape children by saying ALL MEN need lessons in not raping women
She shut down the Oldham Rape Gang Inquiry
She lied about rape gang victims on the national inquiry
She is in the Government that continues to bring rapists to the shores of the UK
Jason Arday shouldn’t be dead.
But he is dead - because he didn’t tell the truth.
And Cambridge University didn’t look for the truth - because he’s black.
And fellow black professors didn’t ask for the truth - because he is black.
Jason lied repeatedly.
And he told the exact lies that allow one to excel in the system that elite universities have adopted.
A system that factors in race, hardship, and lived experience under the banner of equity, instead of pure performance.
Nearly everyone in these institutions ignored Jason’s lies, to try and protect black people.
They called the people seeking the truth racists.
Of course there were some racists.
But the majority of people just wanted the truth.
Avoiding the truth didn’t help black people.
Double standards in academia aren’t helping black people.
They hurt the perception of black people who are truly the best, and would have held prestigious positions at elite schools, solely off the merits of their performance.
Double standards always backfire.
Even when well intentioned.
Even when intended to correct for past oppression.
Race-conscious hiring and admissions have created a situation where it is rational to wonder whether a black person has achieved their position because they were simply the best, or because they were good enough, and black.
This is not a racist thought.
It’s a rational thing to wonder when a system promotes people based on race.
It’s a thing I’ve wondered about myself, as someone who graduated from Harvard - which had race-conscious admissions.
No amount of insistence that it’s racist will make it racist.
It’s no more racist than it would be to wonder whether a white player got into the NBA off of just performance, if the NBA decided to focus on “fixing” the underrepresentation of white people.
This is the logical downside of race-conscious hiring and admissions.
You can think the downside is worth the upside.
But the downside remains.
Calling people with legitimate concerns racist didn’t protect black people.
It didn’t protect Jason.
It hurt black people who have earned their positions.
And it allowed a troubled man who built his career on lies to rise to a height so great that his fall from grace killed him.
We could have just had the truth.
Instead, we have a tragedy.
Weird how the people outraged by the "hounding" of Jason Arday delight in and encourage the actual hounding of the person who exposed him.
Arday was not fired from his job or denied employment opportunities. On the contrary, he was given and retained jobs for which he was not qualified and was rightly criticised for lying.
Cofnas, on the other hand, is actually being denied jobs and fired from them for bring Arday's lying to light.
One transforms kids rejected by grammar schools into outstanding A* students. The other defrauded his students by lying about his achievements & stole other’s work.
One is despised by the left for rejecting woke culture, the other, lauded by them.
Both, victims of the left.
BREAKING - This mother and daughter paid $1,000 per ticket to attend today’s Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game at State Farm Arena, specifically to see Sophie Cunningham — a woman they respect and admire for taking a clear stance against biological men in women’s sports. They wore XX/XY shirts in support of that same message. The back of the daughter’s shirt simply read “For the girls.”
Arena staff gave them two options: cover the shirts or leave. They were handed shirts to put on over their own.
Earlier in the game, a woman wearing a “Protect Trans Rights” shirt was prominently featured on the Jumbotron. Only after receiving that stadium spotlight was she also told to cover her shirt.
A women’s league run by women decided a shirt saying “For the girls” was too offensive and controversial to wear. Meanwhile, State Farm Arena will put a pro-trans message on the big screen — but won’t allow a shirt that states a basic biological truth.
The WNBA and stadiums like State Farm Arena continue to be a national embarrassment.

🚨 EXPOSED: SACKED DAVID LAMMY STILL LIVES IN A TAXPAYER FUNDED MANSION NEAR BUCKINGHAM PALACE!
Notice how the BBC is keeping completely silent about this outrageous Labour scandal? That is exactly why I am here! 🤡
David Lammy was sacked weeks ago in Prime Minister Andy Burnham's reshuffle! yet he is STILL living in a luxury grace and favour mansion overlooking St James's Park.
Instead of moving back to his Tottenham constituency, Labour has allowed him to keep the taxpayer funded mansion through September as a sweetener for getting fired!
While working class Brits get crushed by record tax hikes, champagne socialists in the Labour Party live in luxury mansions on your money long after they lose their jobs.
They treat the British taxpayer like an absolute cash machine while managing our total national decline. The mask has completely slipped.
RT and SHARE this everywhere to expose David Lammy and Labour's luxury perks! 🇬🇧🔥
🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Blasphemy law is back — but it only applies to Muslims.
FSU member and retired police officer Stephen Gray was found guilty of being "grossly offensive", a criminal offence under s127 of the Communications Act 2003, for repeating a joke about Mohammed.
Stephen reposted a message he saw on Facebook that said: “Fun facts about bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9 year old!”
While giving evidence, Stephen explained that the post was a reference to the marriage between the Prophet Mohammed and Aisha — which was consummated when she was just nine years old, after he married her when she was six.
Stephen said the post was intended to be satirical but he also hoped it would spark a serious debate: did that marriage, as recorded in the Hadiths, contribute to the acceptability of child marriage in Muslim countries?
District Judge Steven Hood found the post to be “grossly offensive” and dismissed Stephen's defence that it was making a serious political point about the acceptability of child marriage. He found that the post was designed to be offensive and could not be making a serious point because it was light-hearted in nature. He concluded that a conviction would not amount to a disproportionate interference with Stephen’s right to freedom of expression.
The Free Speech Union is helping Stephen appeal his conviction and has instructed a top criminal silk, John Beggs KC, to act for him.
With your support, we hope to be able to pay for Stephen’s legal defence in the Crown Court and meet the costs of any further appeals. Please donate Stephen's crowdfunder in the link below.
Earlier this year, the FSU paid for the defence of Hamit Coskun, who burnt a copy of the Quran outside the Turkish consulate in London. He was initially convicted, but we managed to get that conviction overturned on appeal. When the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) then tried to appeal the acquittal, we took them on and won again.
More recently, the Free Speech Union threatened South Wales Police with legal action after it adopted a draconian version of the Government’s definition of anti-Muslim hostility, instructing officers to record any comment that went beyond “legitimate” discussion of Islam as a 'non-crime hate incident'. We won, and the force withdrew the guidance.
Stephen’s case gives us another opportunity to reaffirm the principle that there is nothing illegal about criticising any religion, including Islam.
It should not be a criminal offence to repost jokes about Islam that some Muslims find offensive.

A Black Cambridge professor dies after resigning amid explosive plagiarism allegations, and the British political and academic class immediately starts talking about racism.
Aaron Dugmore was nine years old.
He was one of the few White children in a school where roughly 75% of pupils were non-White. His family said he was subjected to racial abuse, including being told that “all the white people should be dead”, before he was found with a cord around his neck.
Britain never made his name a national cause.
Ask yourself why.
I wrote an article about this linked below:
Labour Councillor Victoria Joseph has been interviewed & cautioned by @EssexPolice for making death threats to a Reform Councillor.
The Basildon Women's Safety Vice-Chair is also in hot water for not paying her council tax, which had reached court.
A special court has ordered the issuing of a red notice through Interpol for the arrest of Labour MP and former minister Tulip Siddiq following an application filed by Anti-Corruption Commission.
She's still a Labour MP and the msm show no interest in the story.
Funny that.
This is Judge Amjad Nawaz.
He allowed a 70-year-old muslim to walk free after sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. In 2016, he did the same with a similar case involving a muslim.
Yet, in the same year, he gave a white man 8yrs for rape. This is clear corruption. 🇬🇧
I wonder what he means by “other people”?
I haven’t seen you comment about Peter Lynch, Sadiq. 💔
Shall we talk about public hounding?
I get hounded daily on social media and by journalists/public figures such as Dan Hodges, Femi, Narinder. To name but a few.
You support Reform, so therefore you are fair game, is their attitude.
We will come for your family, for your kids. Nothing is off limits because we don’t agree with your politics.
If I’d have hung myself in prison or indeed since. the very same people would have been clapping like seals.
Fortunately, I will never let these people beat me! Jason was clearly not as strong.
It’s desperately sad that a man has felt the need to take his own life. Social media and the media most definitely had a hand in that.
You wil all be outraged for a few weeks and then move on to your next victim.
Vultures, the lot of you self righteous lunatics.
🔥 LET’S STOP PRETENDING THIS ISN’T HAPPENING.
Caitlin Clark should be AT OR NEAR THE TOP of the MVP conversation based on what she’s actually doing on the court.
But the WNBA media establishment already picked its darling: A’JA WILSON. The same player they’ve been pushing relentlessly as the face of the league and, apparently, the GOAT-in-waiting.
@MonicaMcNutt@AndrayaCarter@chiney — WHERE’S THE SAME ENERGY FOR CAITLIN? 👀
Because every Caitlin Clark game gets dissected like a congressional hearing. One turnover? TALKING POINT. One bad quarter? BREAKING NEWS. But when she’s BALLING, suddenly everybody goes quiet.
And let’s not rewrite history: there was plenty of debate that Napheesa Collier had the stronger 2023 MVP case, yet A’ja got the trophy.
This isn’t about hating A’ja. SHE’S GREAT.
It’s about asking why Caitlin has to seemingly OVERCOME THE MEDIA NARRATIVE ON TOP OF THE DEFENSE EVERY NIGHT.
If Caitlin keeps producing at this level, put her name where it belongs:
MVP.
TOP OF THE LIST.
NO EXCUSES.
Stop crowning the darling before the race is over. 🥱🔥
Well said Ian Botham:
“Whitehall is turning England into a tinderbox. Defra’s response to climate change has been to sharply increase vegetation. Over the past 20 years its cuts in upland cattle and sheep grazing led to a 25 per cent increase in highly flammable grass.
Another genius move has been to stop preventative burning of heather. During damp winter months these burns safely prune the dead material which is then replaced by younger plants. It is the dead heather that is combustible. And thanks to Defra we now have 74 per cent more of it. The winter burns used to create firebreaks. Now we have huge expanses of continuous, ageing vegetation. The result is disaster after disaster.
When Downing Street starts asking questions of Defra, jaws will drop. Why did it further restrict winter burns despite the National Fire Chiefs Council warning this risked the lives of "firefighters and the public"? How come it also ignored the pleading of top wildfire scientists not to go ahead?
In 2007, officials said that stopping winter burns would produce "a much increased risk" of wildfires. Which is exactly what we are getting. Rewilded land going up in smoke.
Other countries have learnt the hard way. Australia and California tried suppressing the prescribed burns that indigenous people had used for tens of thousands of years. By some calculations, dozens died before their governments saw sense. What will it take for ours to wake up?
This is a crisis caused by years of Whitehall grabbing power away from the countryside.”
