Tax Dodger, Phone Fraudster and Fake Solicitor — Labour’s pathetic hall of shame. A gang of lying, thieving hypocrites who rip off the system while the rest of Britain gets shafted. What a disgusting bunch. Reform UK can’t come soon enough to flush this sewer out.

@PolitlcsUK Get them sacked, it’s people’s lives and they just take it as a joke

[Ian @ianburton1976]

@PolitlcsUK It’s just one big joke to them. Living in their Westminster bubble.

[Richard @RedWallPleb]

@PolitlcsUK They're laughing about rapists and paedophiles being released from prison early.

How on earth is there "no ill intent"?

They WANT harm to come to us and our loved ones, don't they?

[BritainWakesUp @BritainWakes]

@PolitlcsUK Caught cracking jokes about letting prisoners out early on a hot mic, then scrambling to put out matching corporate apologies blaming a 'May/Clarke joke'. Utterly spineless clowns 🤡

He Kissed Her On The Steps Of Number 10: The Image They Wanted You To See

On Monday afternoon Andy Burnham walked into Downing Street as Prime Minister and the cameras catch him working the crowd outside Number 10. In among the handshakes and hugs there's a kiss for Arooj Shah, until May the leader of Oldham Council. The footage went out live on national television.

I watched it and I wasn't surprised. That's the honest answer. Eight years of doing this and nothing about who stands next to whom surprises me any more. But I want you to look at that image properly, because everything I'm about to tell you sits in court reports and newspapers, on the Combined Authority's own website, and in her own mouth. I don't need to speculate and I never have.

The Record She Cannot Dispute
One of the men closest to her political operation was Mohammed Imran Ali. Everyone in this town calls him Irish Imy. In 2013 he was jailed for assisting Dale Cregan after driving him to a safe house. Cregan went on to murder PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes. The Manchester Evening News has repeatedly described Ali as the getaway driver for the police killer. He is a convicted heroin dealer who has spent most of his adult life inside, the MEN reported his recall to prison, and this year, conviction spent, he was reported to be standing for a council seat in Werneth.

Shah is regularly seen driving round the streets of the town in the passenger seat of a Bentley driven by her friend Irish Immy. I'll leave it to you to speculate where a convicted heroin dealer and viagra salesman who spent most of his adult life in prison got his wealth from.

Now here's the bit people outside Oldham struggle to believe. When Arooj Shah was asked about her relationship with this man, she didn't deny a word of it. She said she couldn't turn her back on people she'd known since childhood. The Spectator wrote this year that the friendship goes back decades. Her own brother is a convicted criminal, and she has acknowledged that herself, on her feet, in the council chamber.

Then there is Zia Hussain. He was convicted for nine years at Bradford Crown Court after admitting conspiracy to kidnap and assault. The court heard his victims were stripped and beaten and tortured with electric clamps and hot wax. When the police arrived, they found blood splattered all over the walls.

I published the photograph of Shah celebrating an election win alongside him. He was wearing a red Labour rosette. Council lawyers wrote to me. It makes no difference. The photograph didn't change. It's still there.

So that's the company. On the record, all of it.

The Man Who Leaned In
People will tell you Monday was only a crowd, that politicians hug people all day. No. At the Combined Authority, every council leader gets their policy brief handed to them personally by the Mayor. Burnham gave Shah the equalities portfolio in 2021. Oldham's voters threw her out of her seat in 2022 and the brief went elsewhere. She got back in during 2023 and Burnham handed it straight back, welcomed her by name in his own announcement as his lead for Equalities and Communities. Council papers show her still presenting work in that capacity through 2024. Then there's the Tackling Inequalities Board, which she chaired while Burnham sat as a member.

Her friendships were national news by then. The voters of St Mary's had already removed her once. Voters in Chadderton a second time. And Burnham looked at all of it, twice, and decided this was the person who should speak for equality across nearly three million people. In a city region where thousands of girls were raped while the institutions he presided over looked the other way.

Burnham didn't stumble into that kiss. He knows who Shah is. With the National Inquiry coming to Oldham, he knows he needs her help.

Why This Belongs Inside The Inquiry
Here's what eight years in this town has taught me. Power in towns like Oldham is assembled through networks. Those networks mobilise votes, and political leaders reward the people who control them with access and influence.

The girls had no network. Nobody delivered anything for them, so nobody in authority ever had a single reason to fear the cost of ignoring them.

The question the inquiry must now answer is whether that influence also bought protection while children were being failed. It has been told to look at police failure and safeguarding failure. Nobody has told it to look at the relationships between political leaders and the people who put them where they are. Monday's photograph is the reason it must.

The former leader of the first town selected for local investigation, who repeatedly voted to prevent a national inquiry and is herself incriminated in Operation Hexagon, wrapped in an embrace by the new Prime Minister, in front of the world, while the record of who stood behind her career sits in the law reports waiting for anyone bothered enough to read it.

Burnham was Mayor while Oldham's children waited for justice. Shah was a political leader he elevated while questions about her associations were already in public view. Both must now be compelled to give evidence under oath. The kiss lasted a second. The relationship behind it took years to build.

I've watched Labour politicians and Pakistanis like Shah nibble samosas and embrace each other for eight years. But this time it is different. This time they did it on the steps of Number 10.

__________

We Did Not Come This Far To Kneel At The Gates Of Number 10.

The campaign to expose the cover up of the industrial scale gang rape of little White girls by bloc postal vote supplying clans of Pakistani men has never depended on the powerful giving us permission.

Just look how we forced a national statutory inquiry that the establishment did everything possible to prevent.

Now comes the harder fight. We must force the national inquiry to call Burnham to account for what happened on his watch. He must be made to answer for his role in the cover up. He must be forced to testify on Operation Hexagon.

As Prime Minister, he will use every tool of government to avoid it. He will have the lawyers, the advisers and the friendly newspapers.

It makes no difference. I have you.

If you believe Andy Burnham must answer for what was done under his authority, stand with me and support the campaign that will see politicians made to answer for what they did.

🚨EVERYONE KNOWS ANGELA RAYNER IS BACK. BUT NOBODY IS CONNECTING THE DOTS ON WHY.

Andy Burnham is currently plotting the most vicious assault on British homeownership in decades.

His published agenda wants to scrap the Right to Buy and impose a radical new "Land Value Tax" to punish everyday people just for owning a family home.

And who exactly has he chosen to lead this socialist raid on your property?

Angela Rayner.

A woman who literally had to resign in disgrace just months ago for dodging her own property taxes! 🤡

Let that sink in!

They are preparing to tax your family home into the ground, and they have put a proven tax-dodger in charge of the entire housing department.

You honestly could not write a better script for the absolute hypocrisy of the Westminster elite.

It is a massive middle finger to every single hardworking Brit who plays by the rules, saves for a deposit, and pays their bills on time.

This is not a government. It is a rigged, two-tier mafia cartel. They protect their own wealth and bend the rules for themselves, while squeezing the working class for every last penny!

[Axispoint 🇬🇧 @axispoint60]

@RyanShorthouse It's a fact. She is a convicted fraudster

The left want to brush misdemeanour under the carpet when it's their team, but weaponise it against the right.

Always two sets of rules

[Sandy Tregent @SandyofSuffolk]

So the Knob from the North has got rid of a few plonkers - Jones, Lammy and Reeves.

But re-employed a fraudster (Haigh), a stamp duty dodger (Rayner) and a liar (Reynolds).

The others, like thug Streeting, Mad Millipede, 'free' breakfasts Bridget and Balls-Cooper have just been shuffled into positions they'll be as crap at as their previous roles.

So different boss, same as the last boss. Presides over a bunch of criminals and incompetents.

[Lloyd @LGB_1962]

Convicted Fraudsters, tax evaders, expense cheats, house flippers at tax payers expense, a man that should have been charged for posing as a qualified lawyer.

A den of rats and vipers.

And you thought Starmer was bad.

[Lee Nallalingham @LNallalingham]

🚨 New Prime Minister.

But don’t expect anything to change.

It’s the same political club…

👤 Stephen Kinnock: Son of former Labour leader Neil Kinnock and husband of former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

👤 Ellie Reeves: Sister of Rachel Reeves. Married into a family of former MPs.

👤 Ed Miliband: Brother of former Foreign Secretary David Miliband.

👤 Yvette Cooper: Married to former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls.

…and the list goes on.

In UK politics, it’s not what you know. It’s who you know.

Maybe that’s part of the problem.

[Benonwine @benonwine]

Remember Andy Burnham doesn’t like to be held to account and questioned this video is very telling of who he is and what he stands for.

Great Citizen Journalism from James Goddard here back when he challenged Burnham on his Expenses.

How can anyone forget a expense for £36k🤔😲

[CraiginEngland @ghost_wales]

Interesting 🤨

A fraud conviction does not result in a blanket ban on employment. However, you are legally barred or heavily restricted from working in regulated financial services, the legal profession, law enforcement, and roles involving handling large amounts of client funds or charity trusteeship.
Why has @andyburnham appointed a criminal to high office?

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Now that Louise Haigh is back in the cabinet, can the mainstream media refer to her as a “convicted fraudster”?

They have no issue referring to Geroge Cottrell as a “convicted criminal.”

I have no respect for two-tier reporting.

[Stuart Brown @InclusiveBuild]

How deluded are you? You cannot even write an honest retirement letter, the farmer's death tax was introduced during your time at DEFRA to ensure farming businesses could no longer be profitable after the death of the farmer. Your planning changes are designed solely to impose dictatorship over the will of local people and further compromise food security along with giant unsightly resource consuming data centres. You let commercial freeholders continue to harm leaseholders. This is the policy of failure not something to write proudly about.

[Rachel @RachelD1892]

The whole country knows this is a fake PM.
Selected not elected.
Imposed on us by feckless Labour MPs.
It won't end well.

🚨 BREAKING: THE BIGGEST DOUBLE U-TURN IN WESTMINSTER HISTORY.

You honestly have to laugh at the absolute, desperate comedy of this collapsing Labour uniparty. 🤡

Andy Burnham hasn't even entered Downing Street yet, and his entire policy platform has already descended into a total circus.

His deputy leader, Lucy Powell, has just gone on live television to confirm that his government is preparing to announce brand new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea!

After spending years lecturing you about the "climate emergency" and banning domestic energy, they are quietly begging for fossil fuels the second they realize the economy is in ruins.

To make it even more hilarious, Powell actually tried to spin this on the BBC as "not a change of policy" but just a "change of emphasis."

On top of that, Burnham has immediately scrapped the mandatory Digital ID scheme that Keir Starmer spent his last weeks in office trying to build.

They are desperately dumping their most unpopular policies in real time, while still preparing to nationalise our water and energy to satisfy their far-left MPs.

They have zero principles, zero consistency, and absolutely zero plan. They are just making it up as they go along.

RT to completely expose this ridiculous Labour circus and demand a General Election NOW! 🔁🇬🇧🔥
