🚨 THE UNTOLD TRUTH ABOUT STARMER'S REPLACEMENT IN HOLBORN AND ST PANCRAS!

We all read the headlines about Sagal Abdi Wali being chosen as the Labour candidate to replace Keir Starmer. 🤡

The mainstream media wants to sell you a glowing PR story, but here is what they will never tell you about her actual track record:

*She has been the leader of Camden Council for literally three months, and she is already abandoning local residents to grab a promotion in Westminster!

*She previously ran Camden's housing portfolio, a department where thousands of local families remain trapped on social housing waiting lists while council properties suffer from damp and disrepair.

*Under her council watch, local streets have become plagued by daylight phone snatching and crime, while town hall bosses obsess over vanity Net Zero projects.

*She was rushed through behind locked doors to play progressive identity politics against the Greens, chosen to tick ideological boxes rather than for any record of competence for British workers.

They do not care about fixing public services, protecting our streets, or delivering for the working class!

They only care about maintaining power inside their elite north London bubble. The mask has completely slipped!!!

Bill Clinton: “The Palestinians were offered a state. They refused. A state wasn't their goal. Killing Jews was."

This must be shared every single day.

[Hussain Abdul-Hussain @hahussain]

In 1950, Iraq considered Jewish citizens "dual national" and stripped them of their Iraqi citizenship, issuing them single trip passports to a country of their choice (most of them moved to Israel) and stamping on their passports "not allowed to return to Iraq." Iraq never changed its law against dual nationality until the collapse of Saddam's regime in 2003.

And you still get Arabs and Iraqis who insist that these Jews left of their own will and were never harassed or forced out.

Israel understood the ejection of 750,000 Jews from Arab countries the equivalent of 750,000 Arabs who had left Israel (willfully or forcefully). Israel believed this was a population swap, just like India and Pakistan, around the same time, and Turkey and Greece, 25 years prior.

The UN, however, turned the Arab relocation into a lucrative industry, managed by multi-billion dollar agencies over the span of eight decades, thus aborting the swap on the Palestinian side and keeping the conflict burning indefinitely.

Remember that 19 Yazidi girls were burned alive in iron cages by the Islamic State for refusing to convert to Islam and become sex slaves.

ISIS paraded them through the streets of Mosul, then burned them in front of hundreds of people. Not a single person attempted to stop them!

Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist protested for the Yazidis!

Urban warfare scholar John Spencer says Hamas has created a uniquely barbaric form of warfare that much of the world fails to understand.

Hamas doesn’t merely accept the deaths of its own civilians as collateral damage.

He says civilian deaths are an integral part of its political strategy.

“The Hamas leadership… have many public statements… saying they need the blood of their women, children, and elderly to achieve their goals.”

“They said they not only want it, they need it to achieve this goal of theirs in the afterlife.”

“It’s a really sick political strategy.”

“Even the Japanese, the Nazis, while they accepted civilian casualties, that wasn’t their strategy.”

“To get their own population killed in order to achieve this political goal in the afterlife.”

“There’s 600 miles of tunnels in Gaza, as one example.”

“There’s 2.2 million people there. All of them could fit in their tunnels with ease and escape what’s going on the surface.”

“But Hamas actually makes written and public statements saying these are not for the civilians, and civilians are not allowed.”

“That’s where you get Hamas occupying hospitals, schools, mosques, all of it, because they know that those are protected sites.”

“That’s a war crime in and of itself, but it’s this reverse engineering of the rules of war.”

Words from Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir:

“In April 1948, I myself stood on the beach in Haifa for hours and literally beseeched the Arabs of that city not to leave.

“Moreover, it was a scene that I am not likely to forget. The Haganah had just taken over Haifa, and the Arabs were starting to run away – because their leadership had so eloquently assured them that this was the wisest course for them to take and the British had so generously put dozens of trucks at their disposal.

“Nothing that the Haganah said or tried, did any good – neither the pleas made via loudspeakers mounted on vans nor the leaflets we rained down on the Arab sections of the town.”

Do not fear, they read in Arabic and Hebrew. By moving out you will bring poverty and humiliation upon yourselves. Remain in the city which is both yours and ours.

They were signed by the Jewish Workers’ Council of Haifa.”

But alas they ignored the advice. Israel survived the war and the Arabs were not allowed to return.

Don’t allow the truth to be erased.

Gaza received more per‑capita aid and development funding than any conflict zone on earth for nearly twenty years; yet vast NGO and charity networks ultimately helped Hamas entrench its rule, culminating in the October 7 disaster. I explain how this system took shape, how it enabled Hamas and why the pro‑Palestine and NGO industrial complexes ended up harming Gazans rather than serving them.

🚨 EMERGENCY WARNING TO EVERY PENSIONER IN GREAT BRITAIN: LABOUR IS PREPARING THE ULTIMATE WEALTH GRAB!

If you worked hard for 40 years, paid your taxes, and saved for retirement, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has just placed a massive target firmly on your back.

The highly influential IPPR think tank, which is packed with Burnham's own inner circle, just published the exact socialist blueprint Labour plans to use to bail out their bankrupt government. 🤡

Look at the terrifying three step robbery they are demanding for the October Budget.

First, slapping National Insurance directly onto the incomes of 9.6 million British pensioners.

Second, hiking capital gains tax to a staggering 40 percent to crush your investments.

Third, a devastating 0.65 percent annual property wealth tax just for the privilege of living inside your own family home!

They label you "wealthy" to justify stealing the nest egg you spent a lifetime building. Yet they magically find endless billions to house illegal arrivals in catered hotels without blinking an eye.

They treat the generation that built this country like an absolute cash machine while engineering our total national decline. The mask has completely slipped.

RT and SHARE this everywhere to warn every single retiree in Great Britain before Chancellor John Healey raids their bank accounts! 🇬🇧🔥

[Imtiaz Mahmood @ImtiazMadmood]

A Muslim country is warning Europe about Islamism.
Not Christian conservatives. Not the "far right". Not anyone you can wave away as an Islamophobe.
The United Arab Emirates.

The UAE has spent years taking a hard line against political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood, which the country classifies as a terrorist organisation.

And in June 2026, the UAE's ambassador to the EU, Mohammed Ismail Al Sahlawi, sat in the European Parliament at a conference with this title:
"Muslim Brotherhood: a real threat to Europe."
Hard to misread.

The warning was about the Brotherhood's methods. Infiltrating European societies and institutions, influencing political decisions, spreading extremist ideology.

Read that again.
A Muslim country is warning Europe about political Islam. And here is what matters most! Islamism is not only the man with a rifle or a suicide vest.

That is the outermost, violent expression of it.
Islamism can also work slowly. And politically.
Through organisations, universities, religious institutions, activism, lobbying, political and institutional influence.

That is exactly why it is so dangerous to look only for the man with the bomb belt. Because Islamism can arrive in a suit. It can hold a university degree. It can run an organisation. It can sit close to political decision makers.

And it can learn to speak the West's own language about tolerance, rights and diversity, while working for values that collide with liberal democracy.

And no. This is not just something the UAE claims.
Britain's own government has investigated the Muslim Brotherhood.

The British review found that Brotherhood-associated and Brotherhood-influenced groups in the UK had, at various points, held significant influence over the largest Muslim student organisation, national Muslim organisations in dialogue with the government, charities and some mosques.

The same review concluded that parts of the Brotherhood's ideology and activities run counter to democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, equality, and mutual respect and tolerance between faiths.
So this is not only about terror.
It is about ideology.

And now comes the part that should stop every European in their tracks.

The UAE has become so concerned about Islamist radicalisation at British universities that British universities have been removed from the list of institutions where Emirati students can receive state scholarships.

Young Emiratis are still free to study in Britain. With their own money. The UAE simply will not pay for it anymore.

A person with direct knowledge of the discussions put it plainly to the Financial Times: "They don't want their kids to be radicalised on campus."

Sit with that for a second.
A Muslim, Arab country is worried about sending its Muslim young people to Britain, because it fears they will be radicalised there.

If that does not trigger some soul-searching in Europe, I don't know what will.

Because the UAE's point is precisely this. You make a fatal mistake if you only start caring about Islamism once someone picks up a weapon.

The ideological process may have started years earlier.
The UAE's foreign minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has said:

"Daesh, Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups have fed off a wider current of extremist ideas."

He pointed specifically at political Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, which in his view have spent decades spreading those narratives.
He called them "backward-looking". And said they "reject open, pluralistic societies." This is a Muslim foreign minister saying it.

And there is something else I want to make very clear!
THE UAE IS NOT THE WEST.

It is not Europe. It is not a Western liberal democracy.
It is a Muslim, Arab country with a different culture, a different form of government and different traditions. And there are aspects of the UAE's political system and human rights record that we would never accept in a Western democracy.

This is not to be romanticised.
But the UAE has fought political Islamism for decades, an ideology its leadership believes has undermined and destabilised the Middle East. And which they now openly warn is seeking influence in Europe and the rest of the Western world.

Their foreign minister has spoken about the need to show that you can be "modern, Arab and Muslim."
That distinction is one Europe desperately needs to understand.

You can be a Muslim and still reject political Islam, extremism, antisemitism and religious intolerance.
And notice one more thing.

THE VIEW OF WOMEN IS PART OF THAT FIGHT.
Abdullah bin Zayed has directly criticised Islamist ideologies for their "denigration of women's role in society."

The UAE has not just talked about it. The country has made women's education, economic participation and leadership official state policy.

Women are to be educated. They are to work.
They are to be able to start businesses. They are to take part economically and politically. And they are to sit at the table where decisions are made.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and the UAE's vice president and prime minister, established the UAE Gender Balance Council with the stated aim of reducing the gender gap and strengthening women's participation in leadership and decision making.

And the UAE's president, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, MBZ, leads a Muslim country that has made religious coexistence part of its national story.
In Abu Dhabi, a mosque, a church and a synagogue stand side by side in the Abrahamic Family House.
Think about that contrast.

A Muslim country is saying: Keep Islam. Fight Islamism.
Let women study, work and lead. Let Christians be Christians. Let Jews be Jews. And fight the political and religious movements that want to replace pluralism with their own ideology.

And yes. That includes the people who support, legitimise and clear the path for those movements while believing they are defending tolerance and diversity. Including when they end up working against the very Western values, freedom, equality, democracy and religious liberty, that gave them the opportunity to do so in the first place.

History has an old term for people who end up serving an ideology whose actual goals they do not share:
"Useful idiots." They do not have to be Islamists themselves. That is the whole point. They only have to be useful to those who are.

And this is what Europe has to learn to separate:
Islam is a religion. Islamism is a political ideology. And Islamist extremism is not "diversity".

You can defend Muslims' full right to believe and practise their faith, and at the same time say a resounding NO to movements that want to use religion for political power, parallel societies, extremism, or the gradual erosion of the society that gave them the freedom to be here.

Tolerance does not mean tolerating intolerance until it has grown strong enough to turn on you.
When a Muslim country pulls its state scholarships away from British universities out of fear of Islamist radicalisation, while parts of Europe are still afraid to even name the problem, the question is no longer whether there is a problem.

The question is who understood the seriousness of it.
And right now, it isn't us!

🚨BREAKING: A UK judge has ruled that a Gazan refugee and mother of three must be allowed to bring 18 family members to Britain.

Upper Tribunal Judge Gemma Loughran upheld a decision that refusing entry to the extended family would breach the European Convention on Human Rights, citing the woman’s mental health and the right to family life.

The relatives approved to come include:
- Her parents
- A brother, his wife, and their four children
- A sister and her four children
- Another sister, her husband, and their three children

The woman only has space to house her parents. The remaining 16 family members will require taxpayer-funded housing and will be eligible for welfare support.

The Home Office fought this decision but were overruled. The power seriously needs to be taken away from these judges.

SHOCK IN BRUSSELS: EUROPE JUST VOTED FOR MASS DEPORTATIONS – AND IT’S HUGE!

They thought Europe would surrender… but the tide has turned dramatically!

In a stunning landslide, the European Parliament has approved sweeping new deportation rules with a vote of 389 to 206.

Center-right parties teamed up with conservatives and patriots to ram through the toughest deportation framework in over a century: longer detentions, stricter returns, offshore deportation hubs, and lifetime bans for security risks.

Germany is gearing up to repatriate almost 800,000 Syrians. Return centers in Africa are already in negotiation.

The politicians who once called this “extremism” are now doing what the people have begged for years.
The great globalist experiment is collapsing before our eyes.

Europe is taking back control — and the shift feels permanent.

This is history in the making. A real turning point for the continent and the entire West

During the Iranian Revolution, leftist students, communists, and Muslims were all united in overthrowing the Shah.

The leftists celebrated when Khomeini returned in 1979. They thought they had defeated capitalism and imperialism. It didn’t last long.

Around 30,000 leftists who helped the Islamic regime consolidate power were soon executed. That’s where the term “useful idiot” comes from.

They served their purpose and were no longer needed. Muslims had always despised their progressive ideals and could not wait to get rid of them.

One of the women celebrating in the photo was killed, and the other fled the country for her life.

It’s bizarre that almost 50 years later, Western leftists are making the exact same mistake and allying with Muslims. They will have the same fate.
