The man entrusted with Britain's national security is married to a journalist who publicly questioned the testimony of Israeli rape victims, sneered at solidarity with Israel the day after October 7, and told James O'Brien he could "do better" than calling Hamas a "murderous death cult".
You'd have expected Sarah Helm to keep her head down while questions swirl about her husband, Jonathan Powell. You'd have expected wrong. On Monday, she waded in to defend the Palestine poppy, days after the Telegraph revealed that its creator, an NHS doctor, had circulated an image comparing Israel to a cancer.
Helm is entitled to her opinions, however grotesque. But when your husband is privy to the nation's deepest secrets, they cease to be a family matter.
Powell owes the public answers. The Cabinet Office owes us an explanation of what safeguards exist. And he should step down.

Labour minister’s Dubai trip & £7.5k flights to meet firm run by Man City owners – at height of club’s ‘cheat’ probe

Burnham had seven significant meetings with Man City and Abu Dhabi chiefs, not one. He’s been caught lying again. Now Reynolds and Powell are implicated. The ‘Etihad Coup’, which got rid of Starmer in double quick time, is beginning to unravel. The PM’s toxic Manchesterism…

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

British people are being treated in NHS car parks & corridors while we spend £13 billion on overseas aid and £12 billion on welfare payouts for foreign nationals.

Stop it all. Invest every penny into the national health service until it works for the British people.

[Simon Danczuk @SimonDanczuk]

Rayner, who is refusing an investigation into Burnham’s Manchester-Abu Dhabi loans, was also part of the ‘Etihad Coup’, which speedily ousted Starmer. She’s got the PM to thank for getting her cabinet job back, after dodging tax. Manchesterism is beginning to stink…

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

In other words — and contrary to all the lies told about the Dublin rules, including by Stephen Kinnock on Question Time — we took more people in under them than we sent back. End of.

🚨🚨 A Labour councillor for Telford has been arrested on suspicion of downloading indecent images and has been suspended by the local Labour Party.

📣 Just waiting for ITV, BBC and Channel 4 to do a documentary on the many Labour councillors who have an obsession with paedophilia.

[Flags'n'Stuff @JoyousCivic]

It's all gone quiet on the Peter Mandelson scandal.
It's been all quiet on the Tulip Sadiq scandal, on the Angela Rayner scandal, on Burnham and the Man City scandal, on the Nick Brown scandal....
But a few Reform councillors say inappropriate words and the media meltdown.

[Ramon Agusta @ramonagusta]

Maybe @itvnews could do a hit job on the anti-white racists, antisemites, pro-terrorism supporters and general weirdos in the Labour party?

[June Slater @juneslater17]

Hurty words are making the headlines with @ITV
Yet this doesn't seem to upset them 🤔

These imams told Muslim men they should beat their wives.

They said "physical discipline" should be used if they are "disobedient" or deny sex.

I've written to the CPS - they must prosecute these barbaric preachers.

While Danny Tommo sits in jail, Bushra Shaikh is welcomed onto the BBC.

She is an IRGC asset who has addressed terrorist rallies backing multiple proscribed groups and faced no consequences at all.

This is two-tier Britain. Islamist extremists like her stay untouchable. Evil.

Nobel No-Peace Prize: UN Watch found that Navi Pillay, as UN human rights chief, turned a blind eye to dictatorships, staying silent on abuses in Cuba, North Korea, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Belarus, and Syria during her first two years in office.

🚨 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: THE LABOUR COUNCILLOR WHO SCAMMED MILLIONS FROM FAKE COVID TESTS!

Look closely at the ugly face in this photo because everyone in Great Britain needs to see exactly who profited off the pandemic.

Former Labour councillor Faisal Shoukat has just been convicted of money laundering after running a totally bogus Covid testing laboratory in West Yorkshire.

While ordinary citizens were locked inside their houses losing their livelihoods, his scam company raked in a sickening 6.67 million pounds in just three weeks.

Prosecutors revealed that RT Diagnostics simply dumped thousands of public test samples in a spare room and handed out fake negative results to anyone who complained.

This Labour politician deliberately let infected people walk the streets just to milk the government testing system as his own personal cash cow.

Retweet this immediately to expose Faisal Shoukat and make sure his face is recognized by every taxpayer he ripped off. 🇬🇧🔥

🚨 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LUCY POWELL CAUGHT TAKING THOUSANDS FROM THE UAE GOVERNMENT!

Just in case you missed the latest Gulf money scandal taking over Downing Street, let me expose the latest politician caught in the web.

Education Secretary Lucy Powell pocketed 3,500 pounds in luxury hospitality paid directly by the United Arab Emirates government.

She also happily accepted free tickets on five separate occasions from Manchester City, the exact same football club Burnham protects from financial cheating charges.

Labour elites are raking in luxury foreign freebies while forcing brutal tax hikes onto working class families.

Retweet this immediately to expose the corrupt influence ring operating right inside the Burnham cabinet. 🇬🇧🔥

🚨DISGUSTING: This is Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, Recorder of Cardiff. She sentenced ex-soldier Daffron Williams — a 41-year-old veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and suffers from PTSD — to two years in prison (half to be served in custody) for Facebook posts made in the tense days after the Southport child murders.

His posts referenced “civil war is here” and included anti-Islamic imagery. She acknowledged his military service, good character references, and mental health struggles… but still sent him to prison for words on the internet.

The same judge has also jailed others for social media posts in the post-riot crackdown, including 24-year-old David Morgan who received 20 months for tweets involving Nazi imagery and racist content.

Yet when Rees Newman — convicted of the historic rape of a girl under 14 — appeared before her for breaching his sex offender requirements, she suspended his two-month jail term, explicitly citing prison overcrowding.

A veteran with PTSD goes to prison for Facebook comments warning about cultural conflict.

A child rapist walks free because the jails are too full.

@natalieben Never. You have been exposed for what you are.
