🚨 Europe is collapsing under radical Islam. No-go zones, grooming gangs raping native girls, sharia patrols, skyrocketing knife crime & terror attacks — all while leaders open the floodgates and call it “diversity.” Paris, London, Sweden, Germany: once-great nations turned into parallel societies where locals fear walking the streets.

Wake up, America. Secure the border. Deport the radicals. No more importing failure. Trump was right.

America First or Europe’s fate. 🇺🇸🔥

@RobertJenrick Labour are thieves. They steal your wages savings investments pensions and inheritances to pay for Malingerers migrants and Muslims.

[Gareth Davies @GarethDavies007]

@andyburnham When Andy talks about bringing people out of poverty, he is not talking about British people

Andy is talking about foreigners who Labour have brought to the U.K.

Andy wants to use your taxes to make the lives of foreigners who eat seagulls better

You should be angry

Very 😡

The economy is about to collapse. Burnham needs to find - what - £120 billion or it’s IMF time.

Meanwhile Rachel Reeves et al are sniggering about Count Binface.

Southport, Southampton, Harehills - all will be as nothing when people can’t pay rent and feed kids.

No breakfast clubs then.

When was the last time you really sat with a question?

The Dalai Lama starts every morning with two hours of analytical meditation: Sitting with a single question, letting his mind explore it without forcing a conclusion.

Most of us do the exact opposite. Whenever a question surfaces, we reach for the nearest answer—just to be done with it.

Yet real self-knowledge begins when you learn to sit with the big questions. Not to resolve them quickly, but to let them open something up.

Neat answers are comforting, yes, but they usually miss the deeper truth. The alternative isn't thinking more, but thinking carefully.

- sit in silence
- walk without your phone
- hold a question in your mind and nourish it with attention

Chances are this will feel uncomfortable. That's good. The discomfort means you're in deeper water. And that's where self-knowledge begins.

If you’re not sure what to question first, turn the problem on its head. Ask yourself: "Why haven't I made time for this before?" Sit with this question for a while. You might be surprised at what's hiding beneath it.

The real reason why the Iran ceasefire is in tatters - and will never be a secure peace - is because the Iranian regime will always seek to undermine and cheat any attempts to restrict its power and freedom of manoeuvre. Whether it be building nuclear weapons, funding terrorism or blocking free trade, the fundamental problem therefore remains the existence of the regime.

If the US is not prepared to undertake the actions that will actually remove it - with all the implications this involves - then it needs to accept the reality and start creating an active containment strategy to counter the regime and prevent its resurgence.

[Alan Mendoza @alanmendoza]

Andy Burnham is already showing his true colours. Apparently in the aftermath of the October 7th atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians, Labour “didn’t get it right” and should have applied more pressure…on Israel. This weak man is already plunging headfirst into sectarian appeasement in order to win over voters who have abandoned his party. But he doesn’t realise that they will simply pocket his concession and demand more. This country is going to be in for quite a ride as he goes through an on the job learning process about pandering to extremism.

The benefits of “diversity” continue to unfold in contemporary Britain. In yesterday’s instalment, a foreign football match sparked rioting on London’s streets. Just remember, we are all stronger for it!

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Can’t deport a Pakistani pedo who groomed children as young as 12.

But can accept 12 relatives for every 1 worker from Cameroon.

Britain is completely broken.

Look around you. They are laughing at you.

Vote Reform.

@francisjfoster Browder then reinvents himself as an activist, trying to curb Putin’s gangsterism on behalf of the Russian people. Browder is another WEF stooge posing as a righteous crusader for justice.

[Steven Edgar @EdgarRobeson]

@francisjfoster Browder travels to Russia post the Soviet collapse to rob the country blind. He is then disappointed that Russian citizens in positions of power, decided to do the very same.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

40,000 (on the terror watch list) is an old 2020 figure. Since then millions have entered the UK, mostly young men. And we know that instead of these people being sickened by the atrocities of Oct 7, perversely it titillated and radicalised them. So 40,000 a clearly massive understatement.
But 40,000 is still a terrifying number. It’s nearly double the number of men Hannibal had with him when he emerged from the Alps crossing to humiliate Rome. It’s about 6 times the number of soldiers William the Conqueror brought over from Normandy to conquer England.
The only difference is that the UK today has had successive govts that have very actively encouraged this, and still do.

Purdah is the Islamic practice of isolating and hiding women over the age of 9 from the outside world to “protect” their modesty and prevent them from committing adultery (or Zina) by tempting Muslim men to rape them.

In practice it means:
• Physical separation: Women and girls must stay behind curtains, walls or screens whenever unrelated men are present.

• Full covering: Burqas, niqabs or full hijabs that hide the entire body and face so women are barely visible.

• Gender apartheid: Women are forbidden from being present in any space with men who are not close male relatives (mahram). This often includes bans on work, education, shopping or walking in public without the female’s owner, aka male guardian.

• Islamic justification: Based on Quran verses (24:31, 33:59) and the example of Muhammad, which portray women over the age of 9 as sources of sexual temptation that must be controlled and hidden.

This system turns women into property of male relatives. It strips them of basic freedoms—education, work, independent movement and personal autonomy. In strict societies like Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia, violating purdah can lead to beatings, imprisonment or honor killings.

Purdah is not “culture” or “choice.” It is a core Islamic mechanism that treats women over the age of 9 as dangerous sexual objects who must be locked away rather than equal human beings with rights.

In the last financial year, Britain gave well over £100m of taxpayers’ money to Pakistan, a nuclear-armed power with one of the world’s largest militaries and – as its brokerage of the woeful Trump-Iran deal last month showed – global diplomatic heft.
That is only the beginning. Pakistani citizens are handed more British family visas than any other nationality, as well as lashings of work visas. They are among the top recipients of visitor visas and Pakistani students are the third-largest foreign cohort at British universities, behind only India and China.
Whoever thought that offering Pakistan such British largesse was a good idea? This is a country of honour killings, forced weddings, child labour, child marriage, widespread sexual abuse of women and girls, human trafficking, violence against journalists, and famously little religious freedom. Why did we think it was going to end well?

Burnham Promised Change. His National Security Adviser Has China Connections And An Unconfirmed Vetting Status.

Andy Burnham has not yet entered Downing Street. He has already made his most important national security decision. He has chosen to keep Jonathan Powell.

Powell was planning to leave in the autumn and return to Inter Mediate, the private consultancy he founded in 2011. An ally told the Observer that a sense of duty convinced him to stay. That formulation deserves scrutiny. Duty to whom. And to what.

Powell is the first political appointee ever to hold the National Security Adviser role. Parliament's joint committee on national security strategy was blocked from questioning him, unlike any previous holder of the post. Every parliamentary question about his vetting arrangements has been blocked using language identical to that deployed to obstruct questions about Mandelson. He conducted two secret visits to Beijing in six months. He maintains relationships through Inter Mediate with officials linked to China's intelligence apparatus, including the former head of PLA intelligence and the Secretary General of the CPAFFC, described by the US Congress as the public face of China's United Front Work Department. His vetting arrangements have never been publicly confirmed. None of that has changed. All of it will now continue under Burnham.

The Chagos deal Powell negotiated would have handed Beijing strategic proximity to Diego Garcia, the joint UK-US military base in the Indian Ocean, at a cost of up to £35 billion to the British taxpayer. It was postponed only after Donald Trump raised concerns about the security implications. Powell began working on it before his NSA appointment, in a personal capacity, through Inter Mediate. The constitutional lines between his private consultancy work and his government role have never been clearly drawn. Parliament was blocked from asking him about it.

Burnham says he wants to focus on domestic issues and spend less time abroad than Starmer. The man he has chosen to manage Britain's relationships with a dangerous world is the man whose undisclosed China connections triggered the most serious national security questions of the Starmer era. The man who ran a secret backchannel to a proscribed terrorist organisation. The man whose departure would have returned him to a private consultancy with documented PLA-connected relationships.

The fresh start narrative has a familiar cast. Powell stays as National Security Adviser, his China connections undisclosed and his vetting status unconfirmed. James Purnell arrives as chief of staff, a man who left Parliament in 2010, spent years in senior positions at the BBC and then worked at Flint, one of London's most influential corporate lobbying and political strategy firms, before joining Burnham's inner circle. Burnham himself entered Parliament under Blair in 2001. The fresh start is three New Labour figures, a corporate lobbyist and a set of unanswered national security questions.

This sits alongside a pattern documented across multiple pieces. Public money lent without adequate due diligence to a developer whose luxury towers were marketed to Chinese investors in Hong Kong. A bilingual confidential letter praising China's Covid response sent to the Mayor of Tianjin. A formal twinning relationship with Tianjin providing institutional cover for Chinese financial engagement. A Court of Appeal hearing on £140 million of those loans with judgment reserved. A wife on the board of a company holding a public contract with the transport authority her husband chaired. And now a National Security Adviser retained despite documented China connections that have never been subjected to the transparency the Mandelson affair demanded of everyone else.

Burnham enters Downing Street in three weeks. Powell goes with him. The questions that were never answered under Starmer deserve answers before the door of Number Ten closes behind them.

Imagine strapping an 8-kilo explosive vest on your 14yo son, promising him Islamic paradise for bravely blowing up Jews.

Then you watch IDF soldiers spot the threat, clear civilians, and calmly talk the boy into letting the bomb squad remove it — because jail is better than death.

Now imagine his family having the audacity to launch a global campaign, outraged that the ‘evil Jewish supremacists’ imprisoned their ‘sweet boy’ under ‘apartheid.’

You don’t have to imagine it. This is the Israeli experience, with far too many variations of it happening to absurd degrees.
