A 17-year-old British boy has had his lower leg amputated after being stabbed by migrant Idris Ahmed, 18, during the bank holiday weekend at Barry Island in Wales.
Ahmed has pleaded not guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, unlawfully inflicting grievous bodily harm, and possessing a bladed article.
Prosecutors said the stabbing on May 25 caused catastrophic injuries that led to the victim's leg being amputated below the knee. A previous court hearing described the knife as a "highly dangerous weapon."
Ahmed has been remanded in custody ahead of a trial scheduled to begin on November 2, which is expected to last 10 days.
Muslim migrants are losing their minds after Milan Mazurek’s powerful speech in the European Parliament.
The MEP called on Europeans to start protecting their own citizens, especially women and young girls, and to deport migrants who refuse to integrate and bring crime to Europe.
This is the kind of honest leadership Europe desperately needs.

THE PRIME MINISTER's PAKISTANI RAPE GANGS PROBLEM
Andy Burnham is one week from Downing Street. Four out of five Labour MPs have nominated him to lead the party into government. In that time he has not issued a single statement on Operation Hexagon, the operation that hunted the whistleblowers who tried to expose grooming gangs in Oldham and not the men who were gang raping little White girls.
This is not an oversight.
It is the same pattern Burnham has run since the beginning when he commissioned the Assurance Review that buried Oldham's cover up rather than expose it. He knows what silence buys him. It bought him three years of narrative control last time. It secures him a premiership now.
You will have seen it for yourself. Nobody in the press pack chasing his every word has asked him a single question about Operation Hexagon. Not the BBC. Not GB News. Not The Guardian or the Telegraph.
Before it became something they could no longer avoid, it was the same with the Pakistani Rape Gangs. In the end, they reported on it because they had to. Likewise, the same with the post office scandal. They reported on it because ordinary people would not go away. No matter what they did to them.
WHICH IS WHY IT IS LEFT TO US
This morning we stand at 498 paid subscribers towards our target of 2,000. Two more people and we cross our first real threshold of 500. It sounds small. It isn't. Every one of those 498 is a person who decided this work was worth paying for. And what it's paying for is this.
Imagine the Prime Minister Under Oath
Imagine the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom dragged in front of a national inquiry into the cover-up of the Pakistani rape gangs, forced to testify under oath, forced to defend his own record.
You don't have to imagine it. You just need to help me make it happen.
For eight years I've exposed how politicians and police covered up the gang rape of working-class White girls by Pakistani rape gangs. With the people of Oldham behind me, I led the campaign that forced the national inquiry into existence. Now, with your help, we force that inquiry somewhere it does not want to go.
The Cover-Up of the Cover-Up
As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham fronted a series of Assurance Reviews. One of them was in my hometown, Oldham. It buried the truth rather than exposed it. Don't take my word for it. Ask Maggie Oliver. She has reached the same conclusion.
We forced the national inquiry despite his efforts, not because of them. Burnham once defended the robustness of a review that has since been exposed as a cover-up. Now he is rewriting what he actually did.
Why This Matters Before It's Too Late
Right now, the national inquiry will not investigate Burnham or his conduct. His deceit is set to go unchallenged. We intend to change that before the inquiry reaches Oldham.
Once Burnham is in Downing Street, the pressure to protect him will be immense. The institutions that failed these girls will do everything they can to avoid holding a prime minister to account. Much of the press will look away, as it always has. So it falls to us to carry the truth where they won't.
What This Community Becomes
This is why I'm turning this readership into something I can no longer run on my own. Red Wall and the Rabble needs to grow into a proper independent investigative outlet, with:
- A professional website to reach a far larger audience
- Video production to make this work accessible to millions
- Research support so no lead goes cold
- In-person training events for communities fighting the same battle we fought in Oldham
- Resources to gather evidence and report from towns the press has abandoned
Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers. That's the scale of what's coming. But today, we only need two.

Eight Years Later
We are not where we are by accident. Every column inch, every FOI, every hearing forced into existence, came from years of refusing to stop. From paying a price that most would not.
We will not get where we need to be if we leave the job to the people who built the cover-up in the first place. Stand with me.
This work is free because the truth has to circulate. Anyone can read it, share it, act on it, without paying a penny. But truth without numbers is easy to crush. Governments do not fear facts. Facts get filed, minimised, managed. What governments fear is scale.
Burnham and the Labour Party do not fear one campaigner. They fear thousands of readers, sharing the same work, backing the same investigation, because numbers mean witnesses, numbers mean pressure, numbers mean consequences they cannot manage away.
Every subscriber is a number they cannot erase. Every reader widens a circle they cannot control. A handful of supporters can be dismissed as noise. Thousands cannot. This is how the campaign survives. This is how we see it through to the end. This is how voices like ours stop being managed and start being feared.
Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers. That's the scale of what's coming. But today, we only need two.

@RupertLowe10 It is quite depressing how some people are behaving. I didn't agree with everything Ann Widdecombe stood for, but I thought she was an absolute legend. Straight talking and wouldn't take crap from anyone. Britain is a poorer place without her today. RIP fine lady!
322 Labour members of Parliament have nominated Andy Burnham for leader.
He will become PM unchallenged. This is still unacceptable right @DavidLammy?
We need a General Election NOW.
🚨Pakistan has declared it will not take back the Rochdale Monster - Shabir Ahmed - “under any circumstances”.
Over the last 20 years Tory and Labour governments have sent £6 BILLION of your money in foreign aid to Pakistan in real terms.
They issued 2 MILLION visas to Pakistani nationals.
All in the name of “soft power”.
Yet the Rochdale Monster - Shabir Ahmed - convicted of raping 30 girls as young as 12 - “cannot be deported” because Pakistan is refusing to take him back.
How POWERFUL do you feel right now?
The Tory Labour uniparty have betrayed hard working Brits, sent our treasure abroad and allowed the rape of British girls by foreign nationals.
Do not fall for the Tory and Labour talking heads and their assets in the press pretending they’re angry.
They sold you out.
They are traitors to their country.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Oldham Council Demanded I Stop Calling Shabir Ahmed A Paedophile Or Else
Yesterday evening I published the paperwork behind Oldham Council's attempt to silence me, and I think people skimmed past the worst of it. Among the statements their lawyers demanded I stop making was that Shabir Ahmed, ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang and an Oldham Council employee with access to children, is a paedophile.
The man who confirmed instructing those lawyers was Alexander Bougatef. He is now the Council Monitoring Officer, the most senior legal officer in Oldham Council
The letter Alexander Bougatef commissioned from Browne Jacobson listed the things Oldham Council wanted a court to stop me saying. One of them was that Shabir Ahmed is a paedophile.
Shabir Ahmed. The ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang. Convicted of raping and trafficking children. And an Oldham Council employee, in a job that put him near children, which nobody in that building ever intended you to know. There was no press release. There was no statement. I found it, I published it, and Oldham Council's answer was to hire a national law firm to try and stop me repeating it.
The letter demands I refrain from suggesting "without any proper basis" that people connected to the council may be paedophiles. Without any proper basis. The basis was a Crown Court conviction. His lawyers knew that when they typed it, because I had cited the conviction every time I named him. They sent it anyway. I suspect the Council spent tens of thousands of pounds of tax payers money attempted to scare me into silence.
The other man I exposed was Rod Blyth. A Liberal Democrat councillor in this borough for over twenty years, convicted of serious child sexual offences. Twenty years an elected member, and when he was convicted, nothing.
I could find no statement from the council he served. Nothing from GMP. Nothing from the Manchester Evening News, which has never once struggled to find space for my name. A councillor of two decades goes down for child sex offences and it is kept secret from the people of the town that elected him. Hidden from the families that gave him access to their children.
That silence held until I broke it. Go ask Andy Burnham why his police force failed to release a statement. Ask the same of the CPS or the editor of the Manchester Evening News why they helped hide the story until after I exposed it. Let me know what they say.
So count it up. Two convicted paedophiles inside Oldham Council. One on the payroll, one in the chamber. Every institution in this town kept quiet about both of them. I made both public. And the council, instead of launching investigations into whether these men had used their positions to abuse children, reached for its lawyers, and the lawyers were pointed at me.
Think about the choice inside that decision. A convicted child trafficker drew a council wage and the legal department's energy went into the man who said so out loud.
I have the evidence from Bougatef himself that he instructing the law firm that came after me. So do others. He copied it to every councillor in Oldham. They all knew what was being attempted. Not one spoke out. Not one.
This man is now the Monitoring Officer. I call him Backdoor Bougatef because he was appointed without due process into one of the most senior positions in the council. I'll leave it to you to decide how that came to be.
When the National Inquiry comes to Oldham, Alexander Bougatef MUST be called to testify and answer for his actions. Why did he hire a law firm to try and take out an injunction against me for exposing paedophiles within Oldham Council? Of which one of them was Shabir Ahmed.

For 8 years I've exposed how politicians and police covered up the gang rape of working-class White girls by Pakistani grooming gangs. I, with the support of the people of Oldham, led the campaign that forced the National Inquiry. Now, with your help, we will force this inquiry to a place it does not want to go.
As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham fronted a series of Assurance Reviews of which one was in my hometown of Oldham. It was a cover-up of a cover-up. It tried to bury the truth. Don't believe me? Ask Maggie Oliver. Even she has come to the same conclusion.
Despite Burnham's efforts to help hide what took place, we forced a national inquiry. Whilst previously defending the robustness of his now exposed cover up, Burnham is now trying his best to rewrite the truth of what he really did.
Unfortunately, as of yet, the national inquiry will not investigate Burnham or his actions and his deceit will go unchallenged. We hope to change this before the investigation starts in Oldham.
Once Burnham is in Downing Street, the pressure to protect him will be immense. The institutions that failed these girls will try everything possible not to hold a PM accountable. Much of the press will look away, as always. This is why it is up to us to carry the truth.
Which is why I'm turning this community of readers into something more than what I can manage on my own. We need to grow.
Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers to help grow and become more than a one man operation. With your help, we can do in towns and cities across the country what we have done in Oldham.

Should we succeed, politicians will go to prison. It is as simple as that. Surely, on this prospect alone, it is worth your support.

A Guardian journalist, Peter Walker was EXPELLED from the LGA conference today.
He was caught hiding behind a curtain trying to record the private discussions in a Reform UK Council meeting.
Journalists being this desperate just increases the establishment vs Farage narrative.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: GB News can reveal the parliamentary standards committee set to investigate Nigel Farage is stacked with MPs who have publicly attacked him, raising serious questions over whether he can get a fair hearing. Critics are calling it a 'kangaroo court'.
