Rachel Reeves is opening the door to higher taxes for defence not because Britain is out of options, but because Labour refuses to touch the vast welfare bill that is draining the country dry.
That is the real scandal here.
Before this government asks workers, families and businesses to pay even more, it should explain why cutting benefits is apparently unthinkable but squeezing taxpayers yet again is somehow the responsible choice.
Labour would rather punish the productive than confront the dependency state it has spent years morally protecting.
I'm sorry but modern Western legal systems are not designed to handle:
Beheadings.
Machete attacks.
Honour killing.
Grooming gangs.
FGM.
Child marriage.
Co-ordinated groups of 'lone wolf' bombers.
Or any other kind of desert-era religious terror.
We need new laws for this - laws that exempt civilised modern people. Barbaric laws for barbaric acts. And zero exemptions for 'culture' or 'mental illness'.
We deserve to be safe and free in the nations our ancestors built.
Otherwise what was the point of 5,000 years of civilised reforms?
I am banned from entering the United Kingdom because I have been deemed to be "not conducive to the public good".
The Sudanese migrant who literally was cutting a man's head off in the middle of the street in Belfast was given refugee status and full financial benefits by the same government that banned me.
I have never seen a more glaring example of stupidity.
Why does a UN agency the world calls "humanitarian" keep producing Hamas company commanders disguised as schoolteachers?
A US federal probe just flagged 101 more UNRWA staff as October 7 participants tied to Hamas's military wing. School principals. Math teachers. Psychosocial counselors. A sniper. A man tasked with moving anti-tank missiles on the morning of the massacre.
If a "deputy school principal" is also a deputy company commander in the al-Qassam Brigades, who exactly was teaching the children, and what were they teaching them?
How does an organization claim it cannot possibly vet its own staff for terror ties, while Hamas somehow has no trouble identifying which of those same staff to embed as platoon commanders and squad leaders?
At what point does "isolated individuals" stop being a credible defense? 108 already blacklisted, 101 more referred, an investigation spanning 1,500 suspected staffers. What's the number that finally changes your mind, 5,000? 10,000? Is there one?
Why have UN agencies reportedly stonewalled the investigators rather than open their files?
Why did it take a US inspector general, not the UN's own internal oversight, to surface this? What does it say that the institution tasked with "relief" had to be investigated by an outside government to learn who was on its payroll?
The donor governments that funded UNRWA for decades, the journalists who cited its casualty figures as gospel: do any of them owe the public an explanation now?
If these are the people running the schools, what is being built inside the next generation of Gaza's children, and who decided that was acceptable to fund?

For those of you who don’t speak Italian, I’m going to translate just some of the headlines that I’ve read in the last 48 hours from the country that I live in, Italy:
Avezzano: Sexual violence against a 16 year old, judge releases the Egyptian attacker and says “no precautionary needs were identified”
Bressanone: Tunisian migrant stabs a 20 year old to steal his bike
Bussolengo: Shooting, 30 year old injured, 17 year old Egyptian migrant arrested
Milan: Attempted murder, kidnapping, and sexual violence against an Austrian man, three Egyptians arrested
Milan, again: Gang rape of an Erasmus student, manhunt for the aggressors
Milan, once again: Polish model beaten and nearly gang raped by a group of migrants in the street, saved by an Italian man.
Udine: Foreign minor with covered face robs a supermarket while holding a gun
Terni: Two Tunisians arrested for assaulting a man and steal his money and bike
Viareggio: Violent robberies, three North Africans arrested
A 50 year old Albanian man defending an elderly man mocked by North Africans, was hit with a stone and left in a coma.
…….I won’t get into the politics of this. All I will say is that we absolutely do not have and cannot live this way any more.
This is not the Italy we haven known and loved for years. Something has to change. Now.
The poor lad got 2 years and 4 months for throwing a cone towards the police. Yet the teenagers the raped a young girl got a £26 fine each. The Justice system is a joke.
The government hates us.
@benonwine It surely now is the time for Prince William and his father,
the King, to retract their vocal support for the evil and vile cult of islam,which is ANYTHING OTHER than peaceful!
Islam HAS NO PLACE in Western civilisation.
@RightSide_Uk@nmcglen Time to descend upon #DowningStreet and sit there until this government collapses. This is too much now 70 million people being shoved around by a 5 foot 8 spineless WEF Davos bully. If this was a playground he would’ve been knocked out by now. 🇬🇧👊#LabourOutNow#Enough
A year before 7/7 I was stabbed, beaten and left for dead on a street in Manchester. It was a gang of Somali youths. My colleagues - I was working at a university - couldn’t bring themselves to blame the perpetrators. It was poverty, it was me, it was anything. But it wasn’t the masked thugs with stanley knives.
7/7 was the same. London Mayor Ken Livingstone urged us not to apportion blame. Even now the MSM refuses to acknowledge the Islamist nature of the crime. It’s an extraordinary state of affairs.
Years later, in 2017, when twenty-two people, some of them children, were killed in the Manchester Arena attack, history repeated itself. Don’t look back in anger. One Love. Shit poetry.
The stabbing I got over. But it took me years to come to terms with the pathetic reaction from the hand-wringing identitarians. That was really, really damaging. So I understand full well the harm we do to ourselves when we pretend 7/7 was some bizarre and contextless tragedy.
It was Islamist terror - and there’s more to come.
And you know what? We have absolutely no hope of effectively dealing with it.
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.
Why do Muslims hate the people who took them in as refugees?
No gratitude. Only conquest.
An elderly white woman is being trampled by Muslim men at a train stop.
This is not isolated. This is the daily reality in countries that opened their borders to mass Muslim immigration.
They do not come to integrate. They come to dominate.
While politicians lecture us about “diversity” and “enrichment,” our grandmothers are being kicked and spat on in the streets by the very people we were told to welcome.
This is not immigration. This is invasion. Deport them all.
For years I've not been vocal enough about the UK and immigration over fears of being arrested.
But now, I've changed my mind.
Immigration, legal and illegal, is the number one threat to the United Kingdom.
After what happened in Belfast yesterday, I am happy to go to jail for speaking up about it.
With over 2 million followers, there is a serious risk I could be arrested for saying what I'm about to say but I do not care.
Every single immigrant to the UK must be deported, if they are not a net positive on our country.
Keir Starmer must immediately release the nationality and details of this terrorist, who tried beheading a man.
Time and time again, almost every week, a tragic terrorist attack is brushed under the rug because it's carried out by an immigrant.
Whether it's foolish religious rights allowing Henry Nowak to bleed to death, Axel Rudakubana massacring young girls and being given free reign in prison or now this tragedy in Belfast.
If you don't speak English, you must go.
If you don't like our country, you must go.
If million must go, then millions must go.
The only fix is mass deportations, and I do not care about the consequences of saying that.
Britain has never been more dangerous, and the real numbers of foreigners in this country are far beyond what we believe.
If I am not in prison, I will be running in the next general election and will be at the forefront of trying to save our United Kingdom.
I hope to run alongside @RupertLowe10 and @RestoreBritain if you will allow me.
May God Save our once Great Nation.
How can the Secretary of State for Justice state unequivocally that he does not believe people should be treated equally under the law in a democracy — and still keep his job?
David Lammy has openly rejected the fundamental principle of equality before the law.
This is not a minor gaffe. This is a direct attack on the rule of law itself.
A man who believes some people deserve different treatment based on identity has no place in charge of Britain’s justice system.
He should be removed immediately.
The British people deserve a Justice Secretary who upholds blind justice — not one who wants to make it selective.
This is two-tier justice in plain sight.
Sack Lammy. Restore equality under the law. Britain deserves better.
.@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?
@KemiBadenoch@jatroa So under 16s are unsafe to be on social media because they cannot have to be protected but they are safe to vote and join the Army the next day once they reach 16 🧐
This isn't just a broken justice system.
These attackers came straight out of a horror movie.
16-year-old Declan was hunted by a gang, stabbed 56 times, and suffered 66 blunt-force injuries.
The courts let one of the killers walk free because he was "too young."
What did he do next?
In 2025, that same animal joined a home invasion, stabbing, shooting, and hammering a 60-year-old man.
RT to expose this absolute insanity.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder, triggered absolute hysteria among pro-Palestinian students at Oxford — simply by telling the truth about his father’s terrorist organization.
