You don't know who James Purnell is. That's exactly how he likes it.
While you were busy watching Burnham on the news, this man moved into No.10. No election. No vote. No mandate. He just walked in and sat down. Let me introduce you to the man who is now running your country.
Start with the money. When Purnell was Work and Pensions Secretary he claimed £395 on parliamentary expenses, your money, for an accountant's advice on the sale of his own London flat. He told Parliament the flat was his second home and drew the second home allowance on it. When he sold it he used the main residence rule with HMRC so no capital gains tax was due. Same property. Two different answers depending on who was asking. He was not found to have broken the rules. He was not asked to repay. He was the minister in charge of making sure you did not claim too much.
While he was Culture Secretary he got caught out by a hospital photo. He was late to the event. The other MPs had already left. The hospital photographed him on the same spot and merged him into the group shot. The trust said he consented. He denied agreeing to a fake. Later emails showed the hospital telling him they would “drop you into the photographs” and sending him the doctored picture. Jeremy Hunt, then shadow culture secretary, said his position was “completely untenable.” He kept the job.
That same year he stood in front of the TV industry and told them to clean up after a wave of fakery scandals. Weeks later he was in a faked photo. The man lecturing Britain on media integrity was in a cut and paste job from a hospital car park.
Back to welfare. Purnell proposed charging 26.8 percent annual interest on crisis loans to the unemployed and pensioners. Not loan sharks. The government. Targeting people who needed emergency money for a broken boiler. Gordon Brown had to kill it. His department also trialled “voice risk analysis” lie detector style tests on benefits claimants. The trials were dropped. Disability campaigners still name him as one of the ministers who helped turn poverty into a character test.
Then in 2009 he stabbed Gordon Brown in the back. He timed his resignation letter to drop at maximum political damage, called publicly for Brown to “stand aside,” and walked out. Not for the country. Not for the voters. He calculated it was the right move for him. The man who called for his own Prime Minister to quit is now the unelected Chief of Staff to the next one. He writes the day. Burnham reads it.
After Parliament he went to the BBC. No programme making experience. Former Labour cabinet minister handed a director role at BBC Radio worth around £300,000. Conservative MPs called it a mockery of impartiality. He spent seven years inside the BBC. Then he left.
Then came Flint Global. He became CEO of one of Britain's most secretive lobbying firms. Known clients have included BP, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Uber, Jaguar Land Rover and water industry interests. Flint refuses to publish its full UK client list. After Labour won, the firm met government 38 times across breakfasts, lunches, dinners and roundtables. On the official lobbying register it declared almost none of that. He hosted Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds at a dinner with defence and industry executives. Reynolds logged a dinner with Flint. He did not log the companies in the room. Those firms have since taken large government contracts. This is not a rumour. It is in the documents.
He resigned from Flint in June 2026 to take the No.10 job. Flint said he had recused himself and would have no ongoing financial interest. The appointment still walked a man who had just been selling access through the black door.
This is the man running No.10. Not elected. Not accountable. Not in the shot.
You were shouting at the dummy.
Meet the hand.
London Assembly member Susan Hall is done playing nice with the mob that turned London into a weekly Hamas parade and now wants Ed Sheeran’s stage as the next pulpit.
These “Free Palestine” mobs do not march for peace. They flood the streets of major cities and call for a “globalized intifada,” meaning Islamic terrorism against non-Muslims in the West.
“Free Palestine” is a call for Israel’s annihilation “from the river to the sea.”
The jihadists never hide this, but Muslims and Marxists in the West still side with them even after they started the war on October 7 by killing over 1,000 Jews in the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Then they hunt anyone who refuses to excuse jihad against Jews.
That is the campaign: gaslight the West about why the war began, seize every platform, and turn concerts, campuses and weekend marches into a pulpit that glorifies Hamas and sells a lie.
Susan Hall refuses to bow to jihad. She names the jihadi mobs and will not stay silent while the same pro-Hamas intimidation campaign that terrorizes London’s streets now targets Ed Sheeran. Islam, jihad and Muslim supremacism are dressed up as culture and freedom fighting to push a false narrative onto his stage.
Rape as part of jihad is not a human right, i.e. religious freedom.
Kidnapping and enslaving non-Muslims are not peaceful acts of worship.
Threatening genocide against Israel’s entire Jewish and non-Muslim population “from the river to the sea” is not peace.
This is the same Islamic imperial project that erased Christian civilization across the Middle East. Now it wears a keffiyeh, chants on a high street and cries Islamophobia the second you name it.
Hall is one of the few elected voices in Great Britain who will say so without kneeling.
Share if you agree with every single word she said and follow @Councillorsuzie
The @BBC's coverage of the Ashrafi award withdrawal, written by its Religion Editor, omits that Ashrafi:
1) called the October 7 attackers "freedom fighters",
2) called suicide attacks on NATO troops "lawful",
3) said men may take four wives without existing wives' consent, and
4) backs Pakistan's death-penalty blasphemy laws used against Christians.
@DailyMail reported all four. Why did the @BBCNews leave them out?

I searched for the name of this poor woman, suffocated in black cloth. I COULD NOT FIND IT! She is referred to ONLY as the WIFE of Hafiz Ashrafi! SHE IS UTTERLY DEHUMANISED. Wake up women! This is what Islam means for us, for our daughters, our sisters, our granddaughters.
Migrant charity in Scotland is now giving lectures to migrants on when they can have s*x with teens and avoid arrest
I can’t believe this is real
And we’re told that if you don’t want these people invading your town than you’re a far right fascist
This is a Facebook post from Cllr Tom Dickerson on the RAF Barnham protest.
A tiny rural village and a small town being told they’ll have to absorb over a thousand unvetted single men, with no proper consultation, a primary school nearby, and locals expected to just get on with it.
People turned up peacefully to say no. That’s not hate. That’s a community defending itself.
Share this. Don’t let them pretend nobody noticed. 🇬🇧🙏
Birmingham has issued a fatwa on the England flag. The city that illuminates its buildings to celebrate Pakistani independence, and where council meetings begin with an Islamic prayer in Arabic, has criminalised English patriotism. Enough, says Hugo Timms

Devon & Cornwall Police have told the public not to publicly talk about the Truro knife attack.
The force even told Cornwall Live to turn off comments on their posts & the media outlet complied.
Whatever your opinion on the attack, this has huge freedom of speech implications.
This is the Justice Secretary, Alex Norris.
He doesn’t want you to know the truth about the number and types of crimes committed by foreigners. He’s using your taxes in an effort to keep this data hidden. He’s scared of us learning the truth. He’s a piece of garbage.
@SuzanneEvans1@ArchbishopSarah If the Church uses the money for reparations, how would that not be deceit or fraud? The custom has always been that money from the collection plate and donations are for the upkeep of the Church, not for political causes. @ArchbishopSarah should start a collection instead.
13 years old.
Walking down the street in Barrow.
A car pulls up. She’s shoved into the footwell.
For the next five years Ellie Reynolds was raped, beaten, drugged and threatened by Pakistani grooming gangs. They told her they’d cut out her tongue if she spoke.
When she finally went to the police… they arrested her.
While a fantasist’s lies dominated the headlines and the authorities looked the other way, real girls like Ellie were being destroyed.
This isn’t “far-right”. This is Britain’s shame.
Never again.
This is absolutely outrageous.
A clear threat of violence.
I expect the University, her College and @TVP_Oxfordshire to act.
I had not realised it was this bad, or this blatant.
It is not acceptable.
This is Humza Yousaf, formerly First Minister of Scotland
He now works for the Muslim Impact Forum, a network openly committed to helping Muslims take power in Western Countries
Now he's left Scottish Politics he doesn't hide who he is anymore
