This is Tanweer Ikram , he refused Danny Tommo bail at Basingstoke Magistrates on September 25th saying he was satisfied there was a real possibility of an immediate custodial sentence.
Tommo had elected Crown Court trial , his barrister offered GPS tagging and a package of conditions and Ikram still remanded him.
Four days later at Portsmouth Judge Newton Price refused bail again but at least he said on the record he was setting politics aside.
Ikram however never said that.
He is deputy chief magistrate , sits on Judicial Appointments Commission that picks new judges and has publicly said he went to Bradford specifically to recruit Pakistani lawyers to the bench!
He is also listed as an advisor to the British Pakistan Foundation , which attacked Suella Braverman over her grooming gang comments .
A senior judge with that portfolio hearing a politically explosive case involving an anti immigration activist ...That's the question worth asking !
@KayBurley Let’s replace the population of your leafy gated community with entirely young Afghan men.
I suspect your attitude to demographic replacement will rapidly change.
The UK Government will tell you there is no Sharia Law in the country and then set up an entire new system just to comply with Sharia Law
Anyone else sick of this?
So how did a property adviser end up posting about Andy Burnham and Abu Dhabi?
All we wanted was a planning permission.
It took Manchester City Council over nine years to give us one. In that time Renaker put up about a dozen towers, seven of them around our site.
My client has owned a site on Great Jackson Street in Manchester for 40 years. In October 2017 we started work on planning for 1,037 flats there. We are Manchester born and bred. Friends in London warned us that development in Manchester was "the Wild West". We didn't know how right they were.
We were told we had to provide £28.8m of affordable housing. So we asked what Renaker's Deansgate Square next door had paid. The answer:- Nothing. Zero. Nada. Zip. 1,508 flats and no section 106 agreement at all. Nobody at Manchester City Council could explain why. On four Renaker schemes MCC has "lost" the viability files.
We were told we had to pay just over £1m as an upfront payment. Exactly £1,000 per flat. Across 20 Renaker towers and 8,543 homes, Manchester City Council took just £487,000. That is £57 a home.
So we kept looking. We found £598m of public loans from Andy Burnham's GMCA to Renaker. Add in the other public sources and it is £868m, to companies controlled by one man. None of these loans were ever publicised and the loan terms remain almost entirely hidden.
It took nearly four years just to get to the planning committee. Over nine years on, nothing is built.
We then asked MCC for permission to knock down our own empty warehouses. It refused, giving ten flimsy reasons. So off to court we went. In January 2026 a High Court judge rejected all ten and held that MCC had "acted unreasonably". That case cost MCC over £200,000 of public money. And for what?
My client also owns the main Royal Mail depot on Oldham Road. MCC has since told us that land sits inside its joint venture with Far East Consortium. It has kept over a third of that agreement hidden, including the plan, and won't show it to us. Why?
So we carried on asking questions.
Then they blocked my emails.
We never set out to investigate anyone. We asked one question, got no answer, and kept digging.
We still are.

I have tabled a parliamentary motion officially calling on the Government to recognise and protect English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish ethnicities as distinct historic identities.
We should never be ashamed to defend who we are.
All MPs have been invited to support.
Politicians are praising Russell Brand's victims.
Sammy Woodhouse suffered at the hands of one of the worst Rotherham Grooming Gangs.
The Gang was reported to the police in 2002 by Home Office investigator Adele Weir.
The police took no action against the gang but forced Ms Weir to go on a diversity course.
Sammy applied for compensation in 2017 which was rejected until her lawyer stated the obvious.
Those politicians are all lying, two tier, hypocritical scum.
