EXCLUSIVE: Tan Ikram, deputy chief magistrate, is an adviser to a Pakistani organisation that referred to “so-called ‘grooming gangs’” and called Suella Braverman’s comments about British-Pakistani gangs “reprehensible”.
My investigation reveals:
• He targeted Bradford to encourage Pakistani lawyers to become judges: “[Bradford has] lots and lots of Pakistani practitioners… I specifically went there to reach out to that particular group of lawyers.”
• He is listed as an adviser to the British Pakistan Foundation, which attacked Braverman over her grooming-gang comments and condemned the “collective punishment of the Palestinians” following October 7. Ikram spared three women punishment for a terrorism offence involving paraglider images.
• Grooming gang survivor Fiona Goddard called his association with the foundation “deeply concerning”, asking: “Why is a senior judge connected to such a partisan group?”
• He helped organise a meeting between judges and senior imams at the Old Bailey.
• He sits on the Judicial Appointments Commission and has helped edit the guidance judges use on race and cultural differences.
• He said he used his ethnicity as “a bit of an advantage” in his legal career. He also said his mother “today doesn’t really speak English”, despite coming to Britain in the early 1960s.
I’ve examined his speeches, interviews, links to Pakistani and Muslim groups and rulings.

🚨 MEET THE EX POLICE OFFICER PAID 500,000 POUNDS TO TELL COPS NIGEL FARAGE BELONGS IN PRISON
Look closely at this man's face.
His name is Abbas Najib, a former police officer whose organisation took nearly 500,000 pounds in public grants.
He was hired by the state to train counter terror staff and police officers in Yorkshire.
First, he taught public officials that the Virgin Mary wore a hijab and that Jesus grew an Islamic beard.
Then he looked a room full of police officers in the eye and told them Nigel Farage is a criminal who should be locked up for his political speech.
Let that sink in!
Your hard earned tax money is being paid to an activist to tell law enforcement officers that the leader of Reform UK belongs behind bars.
Two tier policing is being actively funded with your cash to criminalize democratic opposition.
Retweet this immediately to expose Abbas Najib to every single voter in Great Britain. 🇬🇧🔥
😡 LABOUR HOUSED A HAMAS FANATIC WHO CAME IN A SMALL BOAT AFTER CALLING FOR JEWS TO BE WIPED OUT‼️
Germany and Belgium rejected him. Britain gave him a taxpayer 3-bed and early prison release. Danny Tommo is still in a cell.
This man called on Allah to “kill all Jews” and “destroy them, scatter them completely”. He posed with AK-47s. He was tied to Gaza’s Tyre-Burning Unit. He pushed Hamas views and Free Palestine chants on TikTok. Then he paid £1,300, livestreamed a dinghy into Kent, and Britain put him in a taxpayer-funded 3-bed.
Germany said no. Belgium said no. Labour Britain said welcome, here’s a house.
He got 9 months for illegal entry. Under Labour’s early release scheme he did about 40 percent and walked out on a tag. Now he lives in Corby on the public purse and says he wants to stay. He now claims to be reformed, ludicrously stating he has a “very nice” Jewish friend. After years of slaughter talk, that is the line he expects us to swallow.
He was openly boasting on TikTok. The hatred was not hidden. It was filmed. And he still got processed, housed and released.
Meanwhile Danny Tommo is locked up and refused bail for trying to highlight and stop this. The man who called for Jews to be wiped out gets early release. The man who tried to stop the boats stays inside.
Labour will not stop the boats. They will not take this seriously. They will house the Hamas fanatic and jail the protester.
If this case does not prove how broken our country has become, nothing will.
🚨 MEET LABOUR MINISTER JENNY RIDDELL CARPENTER WHO THINKS PUBS AND DOGS ARE FAR RIGHT!
Look closely at the face in this photo to understand how much the Westminster ruling class despises ordinary British life.
This is the actual Nature Minister in charge of rural affairs, representing Suffolk Coastal while actively waging ideological war on village culture:
*Confessed on camera that she lies awake at night terrified of traditional country pubs, pints of ale, and pet black labradors.
*Publicly smeared centuries of English rural heritage as a dangerous far right fantasy that never really existed.
*Backs Rachel Reeves and her brutal twenty percent inheritance tax raid designed to drive multi generational family farms into bankruptcy.
*Supports punitive business taxes and green levies that are forcing two local British pubs to close their doors forever every single day.
Labour politicians do not just want to tax you into poverty, they genuinely despise your traditions, your pets, and your local community.
How on earth did an urban snob who hates the countryside this much get put in charge of British nature?
Retweet this immediately to expose Jenny Riddell Carpenter and show every rural voter in Britain the contempt running Whitehall. 🇬🇧🔥
I have been warning both in and out of Parliament for many months about Iranian agents coming into the UK via small boats across the Channel.
We deserve to be told the truth about the Fairford bomb plotters’ identities.
This story has broken me. It has unleashed a rage so strong I can barely express it, but allow me to try.
Above all, I am angry with the decades-long malevolent incompetence of the British state: politicians of all parties, the judiciary, the civil service. Their collective uselessness has shattered the social contract and made us all poorer and less safe. In just 25 years, they have led us from an affluent, high-trust society to a broken, low-trust one.
I am sickened by the growth in sectarian politics. I am appalled by the foreign ghettos in our cities and imported, bent voting practices and resultant corruption in some of our councils. I hate seeing the clothing of female oppression on our streets. I am sickened by the fact our Jewish community lives under siege.
I no longer wish to pay tax to support those who have come here illegally and should be removed immediately. It is to our shame that we have accepted mass immigration without insisting on integration. I am tired of being told that a British passport makes a foreigner as British as me. I assure you that the “British citizen” in this story is not. I am saddened that for so many people, the concept of “British” is essentially meaningless.
I am sick of the obsession with a minor war 2,500 miles away that barely affects us. I despise that £88m of our tax money is going to Hamas (because it will), when the tax burden is a record high, everything is expensive, welfare spending is out of control and we can’t even pay for our own defences when the global risk of conflict is the highest it has been since the end of the Cold War. And in spite of how much of our money the government steals from our pockets, nothing, at all, in this country works. Healthcare, transport, education - all broken.
It is a stain on our national politics that we have five Gaza MPs. It is our national shame that our government is intent on sucking up to the Palestinian entity which contains some of the worst monsters on the face of planet. It is a disgrace that our Foreign Secretary shook the hand of the representative of the Iranian regime that has slaughtered tens of thousands of its own people, and that he doesn’t seem to understand why that photograph will damn him forever. It is embarrassing that we had a Foreign Office minister dancing with and hugging the representative of the Palestinian Authority. The lack of serious statesmanship is mind-boggling and indicative of how far we have fallen.
They say the past is a foreign country, but my goodness, do I miss the country I grew up in. I feel so sorry for the generation that grew up after 2000 and will never know how good it was. It’s not coming back.
I have no time for the demagogues and grifters who exploit this anger. I know other people feel the same as I do, and my goodness, do I understand why people are angry. For decades, those we have elected to govern in our interests have instead run our country into the ground.
And to cap it all, now we are led by fatuous, asinine, deeply unserious airheads who think serious governance is a TikTok video about pork scratchings, as the last vestiges of a coherent society die under the weight of their malignant frivolity.
The worst part of it is that there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it. I just want to live in a happy, stable, prosperous country like we used to be, instead of one that is run by a state apparatus that does nothing but beat us down, obsess over irrelevances, take our money, and leave us poorer and less safe.
It was a privilege to chair this exceptional SAS panel at @HerefordFest
British special forces are the best in the world, respected by friend and foe.
At such a perilous time, we need our warriors more than ever.
But the Government continues its insane retrospective persecution of veterans who risked their lives for our country. The stuff they endure, their sheer raw courage, is astounding and humbling.
Americans and other allies are horrified. “Why would the Brits do that to the SAS”?
Good question. What kind of society puts the human rights of terrorists and bomb makers before the rights of its soldiers?
Btw no senior politicians who gave the orders to the SAS have been investigated.
Let’s hope the Prime Minister realizes before it’s too late that his Government being taken to court by the SAS will be a very bad look.
My little boy & I buy a local homeless man breakfast regularly. Today, we were a little late…
We saw him getting escorted out of a shop by police. They confiscated the food he had stolen and was eating, sent him on his way & told him not to come back.
I know police aren’t social workers, but nonetheless, I found it heartbreaking they just moved him up the road, away from the shop & left him. They didn’t even let him finish the food he was eating. (No, I don’t condone stealing (obviously!) but when it’s a hungry, homeless man & the product is half eaten, wouldn’t you at least let him finish it?! 🤯)
We had a chat with him, got him breakfast, hot drinks etc and contacted @Tell_StreetLink
It breaks my heart that local people live this way in Britain 2026💔
It also separately blows my mind that if only he’d come over on a boat…he’d be in a hotel right now, likely being offered a choice of breakfast…
😔
🚨NEWS: Premier Inn have confirmed they are still not taking any illegal migrant contracts and have never taken any in the past
"We have never accepted this nature of business and nor do we have any plans to do so"

Three weeks suspended WITHOUT PAY. My crime? Supporting Reform UK
Apparently having the wrong political opinions now means you dont get to earn a living. Bloody Farce 👍
Important update on Alex Belfield currently in HMP Stoke Heath.
The parole board investigation has discovered that Alex Belfield was not recalled to prison by his probation officer or the probation service but on the orders of the National Security Division. Who are they ?
HH Patrick Thomas KC chair of the parole board has ordered the person who responsible for Alex going back to prison to appear before the parole board to explain the reasons for their decision !
The plot thickens again.

TWO TIER JUSTICE?
British man jailed for TWO YEARS for throwing a plastic bottle
Hadush Kebatu — Ethiopian asylum seeker — jailed for 12 MONTHS
Convicted of FIVE offences after sexually assaulting a woman & a 14-year-old girl shortly after arriving in Britain illegally on a dinghy
Paid by British taxpayers to go back to Ethiopia
WHOSE SIDE ARE THEY ON?
Ash Sarkar is a disgrace.
Here she is on @bbcquestiontime, keeping it classy by dismissing people protesting immigration as “small penis behaviour”. Great argument, Ash. I’m sure your mates were proud.
Then she mocked the protesters themselves, comparing them to fathers lashing out because they can’t see their kids: “This is a bunch of guys who wanna feel like big men because the missus says they can’t see their kids anymore.”
Using fathers who’ve lost access to their children as a cheap gag is disgusting. That’s a very serious issue, not a punchline.
Then comes the usual condescending line about there being a “variety of opinions on immigration and they’re all legitimate”. No, Ash. You treat your side as legitimate and brand anyone who disagrees as racist or far right. You’ve been doing it for years.
It’s the same trick politicians use when they say “there’s a right way to debate these issues”. People have tried to debate immigration calmly for decades and been met with abuse, smears and worse.
That’s you trying to police speech and shut people up. It doesn’t work anymore.
Today, my legal team received a request from social services demanding that I remove the letter they gave me on Tuesday, which clearly sets out the position they are putting my family in.
They are now claiming that the letter is confidential correspondence. It is not.
If Bradford Children’s Trust does not want me sharing information about their actions, perhaps they should start considering whether those actions are appropriate in the first place.
I will not be removing the letter. My solicitor has responded to them on my behalf and made that position clear.
I also find it deeply concerning that they appear to be monitoring my social media.
At this point, I feel I am being monitored more closely by the authorities than the people who sexually abused me as a child ever were.
That is an incredibly difficult thing to accept, particularly given everything I have already been through.
Once again, I am being treated as though I am the problem in a situation where I am the victim, mirroring the very behaviour I experienced from institutions throughout my abuse.
Clearly, the lessons from what happened to me have not been learnt.
