UK Police:- “Potentially someone could perceive that as a Hate Crime”

“He’s partially deaf - he asked them to speak clearly”

British Police take the accusation of this elderly Man asking someone to “speak English” more seriously than they do a Man laying in his own blood having been stabbed multiple times.

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

.@Keir_Starmer, your statement says you have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.

With respect, tolerance is not the issue. Nobody tolerates a near beheading on a residential street in Belfast. The question your statement carefully avoids is prevention. And prevention requires honesty about a pattern your government has consistently refused to name.

A man in his thirties, a Somali national, pinned a man to the ground on a residential street and stabbed him repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened with a hurling stick. A woman required hospital treatment for the stress of witnessing it. This happened in Northern Ireland, a place that has known more than its share of violence, and even there residents said they had never seen anything like it.

Your government has presided over record small boat crossings. It has failed to proscribe the IRGC despite repeated promises. It has blocked the grooming gang inquiry for a year before being forced to concede it. It has spent £10 billion on asylum accommodation contracts. It has actively resisted measures that would have reduced the number of unvetted individuals entering and remaining in this country.

The victims of these attacks are not statistics. They are British people, going about their lives on their own streets, who were failed before the attack happened. Failed at the border. Failed by a system that prioritises the rights of those who arrive illegally over the safety of those who were already here.

Your thoughts are with the victim. So are ours. The difference is that thoughts are not policy. Thoughts do not secure borders. Thoughts do not remove individuals with no right to be here. Thoughts do not protect the next victim, whose name we do not yet know, on a street we cannot yet identify, from an attack that has not yet happened.

How many more before the thoughts become action?

Over the last year we have seen a flurry of migrant sex attacks on British women and girls. In multiple of these cases, they use their culture of their home country as a defence. We now are begging to learn of the scale of the Pakistani rape gangs that have terrorised thousands of British girls. Some may say we have actively imported a rape culture to Britain.

This phrase, “rape culture” became widely used during lockdown on social media and amongst young women off the back of a feminist campaign to raise awareness of sexual harassment and assault within schools.

National media covered the crisis that had been revealed. The government launched an immediate inquiry into school safeguarding, the NSPCC launched a helpline called Report Abuse in Education, and the Met Police launched investigations into allegations. It was effectively treated as a national emergency.

It was defined to mean anything that normalised or trivialised sexual violence. This could be anything from serious sexual offences such as upskirting, to general misogyny and jokes about sexual assault. The message was that if any of these behaviours were normalised, they could act as a gateway to more extreme acts such as sexual assault and rape.

The term was being used so broadly that it led myself and I think many young women in my generation to believe that if a male peer was to make so much as a joke at the expense of women, that without intervention, he could literally go on to be a rapist.

Strangely, the same feminists who began and continue with this campaign to end what they call rape culture within schools, seem oddly absent from the actual rape culture that we are importing to the UK. We also know that young women are the main demographic that are in support of open borders.

Where is the national emergency about sexual violence from foreign men who come from countries that could far more accurately be described as rape cultures?

I will be speaking about this at the @WomensRightsNet national conference on the 5th July in central London. You can get your tickets via the link in the women’s rights network bio.

The IPCC says snowfall should become less frequent in a warming world. Yet when Japan was buried by record snow in January 2026, the explanation changed. Researchers claimed global warming increased the snowfall.

The storm itself was straightforward: a prolonged surge of Arctic air crossed the Sea of Japan, producing intense snowbands.

Sapporo transport shut down.
Aomori set depth records.
Communities across northern Honshu were buried. And Japan's army was even deployed.

Instead of simply pointing to the cold air outbreak though, researchers at Japan's Meteorological Institute instead ran climate model simulations.

The models concluded warming increased snowfall by about 7%. So the theory now reads: global warming reduces snow, except when it increases snow...

Under this framework, every possible outcome appears to confirm the same conclusion.

"A theory that explains everything explains nothing."

Last year, more than 600,000 non-EU migrants came to Britain.

Meanwhile, over a hundred thousand young British people left.

Mass migration is wrecking opportunity for young people. When I asked the Home Secretary about this, she didn't even pretend to answer the question.

[Right over Left Everytime @RightSide_Uk]

HOLY SHIT.
A senior police officer has just admitted to two-tier policing in Birmingham.
When asked why there were almost no police present during violent unrest, he said they “met with community leaders,” allowed the community to “police within themselves,” and chose a “style of policing” because a “small minority of criminals” would attack officers.
Translation: They stood down because certain communities threatened violence against the police — and the police decided it was better for the narrative to let them run wild than to enforce the law.
This is not policing. This is surrender.
Britain now has areas where the state has ceded control to parallel societies that openly threaten violence if the law is applied equally.
The mask is off.
Two-tier policing is real. The police are afraid of certain groups. And the British people are paying the price.
This ends when we say it ends.
Restore law and order. End two-tier policing now.

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

I watched the Belfast video so you don’t have to.

Please don’t watch it. The level of violence is extreme.

What frustrates me about this straight away is seeing reports describe it as a stabbing.

It was an attempted beheading.

The public deserves accurate reporting.

Call it what it is.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

The scale of what the Telegraph has uncovered requires the country to stop and process it methodically.

Between 2015 and 2021, more than £28 billion of British taxpayer money — through foreign aid payments and Covid emergency loans — was appropriated by terrorists, hostile foreign states and organised criminal networks.

The money is described as “beyond reach.”
Those who took it are “unpunished.”

Russia received grants via state-linked companies.

Islamic State received Covid loans.
Chinese military-linked firms received research investment.

And behind all of this sits a Cabinet Office report — the first government assessment ever to quantify this catastrophic leakage — that was deliberately suppressed to spare ministers embarrassment.

Now consider the timeline.

This covers six years spanning three Prime Ministers — Cameron, May, and Boris Johnson — and into the early Starmer era.

It covers the 2015-2019 Conservative governments, the pandemic response, and the transition to Labour.

Multiple Cabinets.
Multiple Chancellors. Multiple foreign secretaries.

All of them operating a foreign aid and emergency lending apparatus that — by the government’s own secret reckoning — channelled tens of billions to Britain’s worst enemies.

None of the money recovered.
None of the recipients punished.

And the report — rather than triggering urgent cross-party accountability — was quietly buried.

The public paid for this report.

They paid for the £28 billion it documents.

They were then deliberately denied the right to know either existed.

If there is a cleaner definition of contempt for the electorate, it is hard to imagine.

Is anyone else sick of ministers not answering questions in Parliament? By allowing them to make irrelevant statements in response to questions, the Speaker risks making Parliament itself redundant - if ministers are not required to answer questions asked in the House then one of the main functions of Parliament is lost

So today I have written to @CommonsSpeaker to express my concerns, referencing Energy questions last week

@ClaireCoutinho asked @Ed_Miliband who is responsible if there is a blackout in the UK and what would happen to them if there was one

He accused her of scaremongering, expressed sorrow that she no longer supports net zero and made some totally unconnected comment about green jobs

What he did not do is answer any part of her question and the Speaker said nothing. No requirement to answer the question. No reprimand for talking irrelevant waffle. Nothing

Week in and week out we see the same at PMQs - @KemiBadenoch asks a question and @Keir_Starmer lurches through some pre-prepared answer often on another topic, or complaining about the record of the previous government or Liz Truss or whatever his pet peeve of the day is

So what's the point? If ministers and the PM are allowed to simply say any old rubbish when asked a question and not even pretend to answer it, why bother with the whole charade? Why bother with Parliament? Why not just have a few committees drafting legislation and taking evidence from third parties?

By allowing this, the Speaker's Office is reducing the House of Commons into meaningless spectacle. It's simple theatre without substance and without purpose

If Sir Lindsay Hoyle wants to play a supporting role on the stage, London's West End has plenty of opportunities for this. The Palace of Westminster is not one of them

Labour risks being forced to seek emergency help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as Britain lurches toward a debt crisis, leading economists are now warning.

Former IMF chief economist Ken Rogoff says, in a new interview, that there is “more than 50:50 chance” of a major UK debt crisis before the end of this decade.

He is joined by Sir Charlie Bean, a former senior official at both the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility, who says the need for an IMF bail-out is now a “material risk” for the British economy.

I not only firmly agree with Ken Rogoff and Sir Charlie Bean – but have been repeatedly issuing the very same warnings for a very long time.

Because the grave risk of a major fiscal meltdown has been apparent for at least the last two years – to anyone who combines serious knowledge of UK economics and politics and global debt markets with an open mind.

The UK's public finances were already fragile when Labour took office back in July 2024.

But this government's misguided, ideologically-driven statist policies have made a bad situation much worse, seriously increasing the danger of a deep fiscal crisis - which would cause a disastrous state funding shortfall and a very nasty inflation spike.

That would result in Downing Street being forced to follow the orders of unelected technocrats flown in from Washington and elsewhere.

It would be a very major national humiliation combined with a deep economic slump and an even more intense cost-of-living crisis – in which low-income households, as ever, would suffer the most.

Yet those of us that have shown the brains and courage to point out these inconvenient truths over recent months and years have long been dismissed and derided for our trouble - not only by ignorant politicians and approval-seeking journalists but also the overwhelming majority of "leading economists".

Ahead of the general election in mid-2024, with Labour on course to win, the conventional wisdom among the great sages of broadsheet journalism and the economics establishment was that "the adults would soon be back in charge" ... Labour would "get lucky with the economy" ... and "Britain would now enjoy an extended period of political and fiscal stability".

I thought that was total nonsense – not least as I was well aware Labour's plans irresponsibly to increase borrowing and spending would be met with deep scepticism by the global pensions funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors that lend governments serious money.

My weekly @Telegraph "Economic Agenda" column of 23rd June 2024, a fortnight ahead of the general election, was a total outlier. I recounted the disaster of 1976 – when Britain was forced to go "cap in hand" to the IMF for a bailout – and warned that "The Ghosts of the 1970s" would haunt Labour's (so-called) economic resurrection".

Six months later, after the October 2024 "Hallowen" budget in which Chancellor Rachel Reeves did indeed sharply hike borrowing and spending, I assessed the market reaction then doubled-down – warning more assertively in my column of 12th January 2025 that "The UK risks a return to 1976 unless Reeves changes course".

And then again on 20th July 2025, as Labour's policies raised the costs of doing business, translating into price pressures which pushed up government borrowing costs even more, I again cautioned that "Inflation risks are taking Britain to the debt-crisis cliff edge".

"It’s now screamingly obvious that Labour’s crude Keynesianism – “pump priming” the economy by upping state borrowing and spending – isn’t working," I wrote in that column last July.

"Worse than that, this Government’s actions are pushing Britain towards a budgetary crisis every bit as serious as that in 1976 – when the UK was forced to go “cap in hand” to the IMF for a bail-out".

It's been a lonely task issuing these warnings. I've been hounded in public debates, slagged off by senior civil servants and often dismissed by "leading economists" as "alarmist".

So what do these same "leading economists" now say to Rogoff (Harvard Professor, Former IMF Chief Economist) and Bean (LSE Professor and Former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England)?

The "economics establishment" – with very few honourable exceptions, the brilliant @jagjit_chadha among them – has been and remains extremely reluctant to point out the deeply unsustainable nature of this government's addiction to ever more borrowing.

The systemic fiscal dangers of evermore "tax and spend" – and the prospect of a serious spike in gilt yields and related fiscal meltdown – are now so real and present as to be completely undeniable.

Yet the UK government is about to shift even further to the left, pushing up borrowing and spending even more under a new leader, in a bid to appease the massed ranks of economic illiterates among Labour's Parliamentary party and activist base – making those dangers even more acute.

Yet, still, the silence among "public intellectual" economists is deafening.

I'm glad the likes of Ken Rogoff and Charlie Bean are now issuing clear warnings. So where is the rest of the "economics establishment" - those who purport to understand fiscal management and financial markets, and often funded by taxpayers' money?

Britain is now clearly in the crosshairs of a very serious danger. The government's creditors are increasingly fickle and based overseas – with no regulatory or cultural obligations to lend money to the UK government.

Those holding UK gilts are increasingly "speculative" rather than "strategic" long-term investors – looking for quick returns, financing their government bond purchases with "leverage" (money borrowed from elsewhere), which will quickly be withdrawn when senitment decisively shifts, causing a plunge in gilt prices and a sharp additional surge in government borrowing costs, setting up a vicious circle.

The UK government is very heavily indebted – and the global investors we rely on to bankroll a huge slice of our state spending are alarmed that of the £132bn the government borrowed last year, no less than £110bn was spent on debt interest – as I wrote in a column on 17th May 2026, "As Labour lurches further left, the markets are calling time".

Global investors are alarmed the UK has consistently had the highest inflation in the G7 (which pushes up borrowing costs) and has easily the highest share of index-linked debt (which magnifies the burden of inflation on the state's balance sheet).

And they are deeply, deeply alarmed that when Labour came to power in mid-2024, the Office for Budget Responsibility was forecasting additional state borrowing of £323bn by 2029, the scheduled end of this Parliament.

But Labour’s runaway spending and growth-crushing tax rises mean that the same five-year borrowing forecast is now £583bn – 80pc higher. And still, the trade unions, MPs and Labour activists who will choose Starmer’s successor now want even more.

It is not too late to pull the UK back from the fiscal brink, to avoid the extremely painful and deep, lingering damage of being forced to go to the IMF and perhaps other multi-lateral creditors for a bailout.

It is not too late to avoid the inflation surge, the currency crash, the shocking blow to consumer and business confidence alongside the sky-high interest rates that will seriously whack our economy – or the perhaps even deeper damage of yet more of the British electorate losing faith in the ability of our establishment to manage the country in a manner that avoids imposing serious hardship on so many hard-working people simply trying to make their way.

But our political and media class needs to start acknowledging the economic and financial truth – that the UK government is borrowing and spending too much, taxation is now so high that it's hammering growth and employment, and that trying to finally get the economy moving by "moving further left", borrowing and spending even more, will result in a fiscal collapse.

Smart, experienced, high-profile economists need to start speaking out – as Rogoff and Bean just have – raising the alarm in a bid to force the broader establishment to face reality. Before it's too late.

If you've read this far, you clearly think this analysis is worthwhile and important. So please like and share.

Remember when I told you this…

I’m bored of telling you that All
the parties are lying to you.

Because if they told you the truth they wouldn’t be elected.

Britain is nearly bankrupt and politicians have no idea where this ‘mythical’ growth to cover obscene spending will come from
Because they can’t! There isn’t any.

The working-age population is shrinking, the number of people claiming benefits is rising, and the public sector, funded by the private sector, is ballooning.

AI is on track to replace huge amounts of white-collar jobs in the next 10–15 years. All of these people will be jobless and needing to claim benefits. Which we won’t be able to afford to pay!

The guff about “net zero” and “green jobs” is bollocks (technical term) Those jobs only exist during the construction phase, after that, these are largely automated industries.

As for those shouting about Universal Basic Income er … from where? How would it be funded? You’re dreaming.

And those saying we can just tax the corporations, they’re dreaming too. They’ll just operate from outside the UK.

And to control you … as you demand pay rises and more benefits? Well a near total clampdown of speech and thought through legislation and censorship and those Digital IDs, “just so you behave yourself.”

There really is little growth, even trades will be hit because the population won’t have the money to buy their services.

We’re are in a badly managed decline, with grossly under qualified and incapable leadership in any party at all.

And all those screaming to tax the wealthy? You’re just morons.

I really wasn’t exaggerating 🔥
