6000 killers, rapists and sex offenders released early but Alex Belfield remains in prison and they can’t even tell him why he is there but they do know his risk to the public is calculated as 0.19% ( less than one fifth of one percent )
Why is Alex in prison ?
@KTHopkins Hi Katie, Check out @dshensmith for a clearer explanation about the Manchester court case. It's only one particular charge, relating to a third officer, that a decision hasn't been reached on. The attacks on the female officers have been proven, one of them has been found guilty.
HARMAN LOBBIES FOR LORDS SEAT FOR COUNCILLOR WHO BLOCKED GANG RAPE INQUIRY
Baroness Harriet Harman is lobbying to place Arooj Shah in the House of Lords.
Harman, a Labour peer and former deputy leader of the party, posted a public reply to Shah’s X account. The message was short.
“Hi. Hope all good with you. For next Lords list? H.”
She is a sitting member of the second chamber. She is using that position to bring into the same house the woman who spent years blocking a government investigation into the cover-up of the gang rape of children in Oldham.
SHAH BLOCKED THE INQUIRY
Arooj Shah is the leader of Oldham Council. She is despised across the town for a specific and documented reason. She repeatedly blocked attempts to call in the government to investigate how the rape of young White girls by Pakistani rape gangs was buried by the very institutions she now leads.
She is regularly seen in the company of a convicted heroin dealer who was the getaway driver for a cop killer. Her brother is a convicted money launderer. She celebrates election victories alongside a man convicted for kidnap and torture.
These are not allegations. They are matters of record.
HARMAN KNOWS
Labour’s exposure on grooming gangs is severe. The national inquiry exists because journalists and campaigners forced it into being against the resistance of MPs like her colleagues. Harman knows what Oldham represents in that story. She sent the tweet anyway.
The Joint Committee on Human Rights cannot be chaired by a politician privately advancing the Lords prospects of a council leader implicated in blocking accountability for child sexual exploitation. Harman’s mandate and her conduct are irreconcilable. She has made her choice visible.
A PEERAGE ENDS THE QUESTION
A Lords appointment would place Shah beyond the reach of any future local election. It would insulate her from the political consequences of everything documented above and give her a platform no Oldham voter could remove.
Nobody proposes a peerage in a two-line tweet without having run the conversation already.
Harman is not acting alone. Somewhere in the Labour leadership, someone looked at Arooj Shah’s record and decided she deserved elevation to the second chamber of the British Parliament.
They looked at everything above and concluded she was the right choice. That decision was made. It was made deliberately. And it was made by people who believe they will never be held to account for it.
THE COUNCIL MOTION
Reform UK councillors in Oldham will be asked to table a motion at the next full council meeting calling on the council to write formally to the House of Lords Appointments Commission opposing any nomination for Arooj Shah.
A letter from Oldham Council itself carries a different weight than letters from individuals. It is the institution she leads, on record, telling the body responsible for vetting her that her own town objects. HOLAC cannot ignore a formal submission from the council whose leader is under consideration. It becomes part of the file.
Labour councillors do not have the numbers to vote it down. Should any other councillor try, they will have voted to suppress Oldham’s objection to the woman who blocked the rape gang inquiry being handed a life peerage.
Their vote will also be on record.

Rape Gang Inquiry update.
Our team is currently going through our draft report to ensure that all is legally sound for publication.
The plan is straightforward.
I intend to use parliamentary privilege in the chamber to name a number of the worst perpetrators/officials who we believe have escaped justice.
We will then use private prosecutions to pursue those individuals through the courts, and eventually put them in prison.
These are incredibly dangerous scumbags. It is an national network of organised crime - it is not simply disparate gangs. This is a comprehensive criminal network that is capable of the most evil acts.
I will be informing the police, parliamentary security and the Home Office beforehand of who I intend to name and why - I also now have private security for the first time in my life.
But do not underestimate the danger of these networks. It is organised crime of the very worst kind.
We started this inquiry not to just talk, but to act.
The report will be published after the elections as I want this to be a cross-party effort, and party politics should not interfere with any of our activity.
Numerous Conservative MPs have been supportive, as have the Northern Irish and even a Labour MP attending the hearings. I want this to go beyond petty party politics.
We still have a significant amount of money from the crowdfunder, and that is ready to privately prosecute.
This is where we are. This is the plan.
Thank you to everybody for your support.
