Merseyside Reform council has cancelled all refugee week events & demanded money already spent to be returned. The previous administration set aside £60k for it.
“In light of the illegal immigration emergency…we don't think that this is an appropriate use of council resources”
In 2006, polling showed that 68% of Muslims in Britain think it should be a criminal offence to insult Islam.
So far, Britain has chosen a path of appeasement and capitulation to Islamic blasphemy laws.
Since Starmer came to power, cases received by the Free Speech Union of people being penalised for criticising Islam or Muslim cultural practices have increased by a multiple of 4.
This was before the 'anti Muslim hostility definition' was introduced by Labour. All 5 members, hand picked by Labour, of the working group that came up with the definition have links to Islamist organisations.
“Twenty-five years ago, the political class was more willing to engage in open debate.”
Today, there is an attempt to cast legitimate criticism of prevailing orthodoxies — whether on diversity, Islam, immigration, or climate change — as misinformation, disinformation, or hate speech.
At the heart of the free speech crisis is an unwillingness on the part of the promoters of these policies to defend them in public.
Instead of engaging in good-faith debate, they portray critics as beyond the pale.
In this relatively recent phenomenon, people are increasingly realising that if they challenge a certain cluster of prevailing orthodoxies, they are likely to be cancelled.
We must push back against this.

A reminder that Burnham is not competing for the same prize in the upcoming by election as the other candidates.
This was already a Labour seat. It was secure.
Burnham is here to run the country. A job he is totally underprepared and under skilled for.
A man who has no understanding of energy policy.
A man who says he will obey the fiscal rules even though he doesn’t know what they are.
A man who u-turned on the EU,
Not to mention migration or the bond markets.
Like so many things today, it would be funny if it wasn’t so serious.
His pitch to run the country is a joke. A bad one.
Vote Reform. Give Makerfield a voice. An honest one. A real one.
The Sikh who held a TikTok Live claiming Henry Nowak was a dangerous racist where they voted for Henry's grave to be shit and pissed on was Tommy Robinson's VIP guest.. Imagine my shock.
They also claimed Vickrum Digwa used his Kirpan to fight oppression and this should be a message to the wider UK audience to not mess with the Sikhs. I can't make out what one of the Sikhs say at the end of the TikTok Live, but it's something about us whiteys.
Rael, firstly, it was Reform that split the vote giving Labour an unassailable majority in the 2024 election. Second, Reform are splitting the vote in Aberdeen South, thereby letting Labour win. Third, regardless of the outcome in Makerfield, Labour will remain in power because of point one. Fourth, democracy is about choice, not denying choice. Restore is a choice. Fifth, despite myself and others wanting to see the detail of Reform’s plans for government, all we hear is criticism of others. So tell me what is patriotic about voting for a party - Reform - that has done nothing to try and convince the nation it is ready to govern? Sixth, the aim is not to stop Reform, the aim is for Restore Britain to move forward so that we can indeed restore Britain.
Finally, suggesting someone who has served his country in the army, police, diplomacy and politics his entire life, as I have, is not a patriot, is a bit desperate.
🚨 LEAKED AUDIO just dropped.
Labour Councillor Susanna Pressel (Oxfordshire) is caught on mic saying:
“Can we trace them on social media?”
“Can Police not lie in wait and nab the B*STARDS?”
…for people putting up British flags 🇬🇧 on lampposts.
Should public officials who call for arrests over flying the national flag be held accountable?
YES or NO?
Shabana Mahmood Called George Floyd's Death An Unspeakable Outrage. She Called Henry Nowak's A Political Grandstanding Opportunity.
On June 4th 2020, four days after George Floyd died in Minneapolis, Shabana Mahmood wrote to her constituents. She described his death as an unspeakable outrage. She shared the anger of the Black Lives Matter movement. She condemned Donald Trump in the strongest possible terms. She pledged to ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She signed it with a Black Lives Matter hashtag.
This week Shabana Mahmood stood at the despatch box and told the House of Commons there must be no two tier policing. She said the police have a sacred duty to act without fear or favour. She warned that anyone using Henry Nowak's murder to stoke division should be rejected.
Henry Nowak died on December 3rd 2025. Mahmood said nothing for days. The Commons Speaker had to order the government to make a statement. When she finally spoke she described the national outcry as political grandstanding and accused those naming the problem of stoking division.
Four days after George Floyd died she had already written to her constituents. Four days after Henry Nowak's killer was convicted she had to be ordered to speak by the Speaker of the House.
The letter she wrote in 2020 is worth reading carefully because it is the most precise document available for understanding what happened this week. She writes that her work deeply reflects the cause for social and racial justice. She writes that she will carry on working to ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She writes that she wants her work to continue to be reflective of black and ethnic minority experiences in Birmingham.
Not all voices. Black voices. Not all experiences. Black and ethnic minority experiences. That is the Home Secretary who told Parliament this week there must be no two tier policing. Her own letter is a precise description of two tier political engagement. One standard applied to George Floyd. A different standard applied to Henry Nowak.
The progressive institutional machinery was operational within hours of Floyd's death. The hashtag was ready. The language was ready. The political network was ready. Mahmood's letter was part of that machinery. It was produced within four days because the machinery runs automatically when the case fits the framework. Black Lives Matter had been founded in 2013. By 2020 it had dozens of local chapters, a global network, corporate donors worth hundreds of millions of dollars and political allies embedded across every major Western government. When Floyd died every node of that network activated simultaneously. Mahmood's letter was one activation among millions.
Henry Nowak's case does not fit the framework. His killer used the progressive framework as the murder weapon. His case does not vindicate the ideology of anti-racism training. It exposes it. And the Home Secretary whose entire political career has been built around that ideology found herself at the despatch box this week condemning its most visible consequence while declining to name its cause.
She wrote in 2020 that she would ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She has kept that promise. The question Henry Nowak's family is entitled to ask is which voices were heard at the heart of the institutions that trained the officers who handcuffed their son. The Hampshire Race Action Plan. The NPCC guidance. The College of Policing practice bank. The Metropolitan Police neutrality myth. All of it built by the same political framework Mahmood has spent her career advancing.
There must be no two tier policing. She is right. The letter she wrote in 2020 explains precisely why there is.
We’ve just finished our canvassing and campaigning for today in Makerfield for Restore Britain.
We’ve been canvassing mostly in traditional Labour strongholds. However, I’ve been surprised by the level of support for Restore Britain.
We are the only anti-establishment option.
I’ve followed politics since primary school and wouldn’t leave for school until I had watched the news.
I’ve never felt like there was a party for me, let alone a politician I passionately believe in.
There has never been a party that shared my views.
I love my country, and only Rupert Lowe has the same love and passion for our heritage, culture, history, and country.
