Shocking news that Counter Terrorism Police are investigating a credible, serious threat targeted at an Islamic event in Suffolk. Thanks to the quick action taken by police and the organisers, nobody was hurt. My message is clear: I will not tolerate any attacks on our Muslim communities, or any form of anti-Muslim hatred.

Mauritius Heard Burnham's Chagos Policy First. Beijing Will Be Pleased. Andy Burnham has not yet crossed the threshold of Downing Street. He has already confirmed his government's position on handing away British sovereign territory, and he did it without saying a word. A Foreign Office official told Mauritian ministers last week that the Chagos deal was unlikely to change once Burnham takes over. Mauritius learned Britain's policy under its next Prime Minister before the British public did, and before that Prime Minister had been sworn in. That ordering is the story. A civil servant, not an elected figure, confirmed to a foreign government that the surrender of the Chagos Islands, and the £35bn lease-back cost that comes with it, would continue exactly as planned. Burnham himself has said almost nothing about his foreign policy direction. The one substantive fact to emerge is that nothing changes, delivered through a briefing note to Port Louis rather than a statement to Parliament. It is not hard to see why. Jonathan Powell, the architect of the Chagos deal, stays on as Burnham's National Security Adviser. He built the framework of this agreement in a personal capacity, through his private consultancy, before he was even appointed to government. Since then his vetting status has never been confirmed. Parliament's own joint committee on national security strategy was blocked from questioning him, a restriction placed on no previous holder of the role. Every question about his interests has been met with the same three lines. Established mechanisms are in place. Such matters are sensitive. The government does not comment on individual cases. Burnham called his incoming government a fresh start. Keeping Powell in place while Powell's own deal proceeds unaltered is not a fresh start. It is the old direction, continued by the same hand, under a different name at the top of the letterhead. Mauritius itself is worth pausing on, because the Telegraph's own reporting describes it plainly as an ally of China and Iran. Handing that country strategic proximity to Diego Garcia, a base Britain shares with the United States precisely because of its military value, was never a small matter. It required Donald Trump's intervention to even pause it. That the deal now resumes, confirmed before Burnham has taken his seat, suggests the pause was tactical rather than principled. The objection was managed. It was not answered. Consider what this pattern has already produced. A spy trial collapsed because the government would not call China a threat in open court. A Chinese embassy was approved with a concealed chamber built a metre from the cables carrying the City's financial data. A Foreign Office adviser was granted access to Washington despite failing his own vetting on China and Russia grounds, warnings the Prime Minister had read and set aside. Now the Chagos deal, negotiated by a man whose own China-adjacent relationships remain undisclosed, proceeds into a new premiership as though nothing about the government has changed. Nothing has. Voters were told Burnham represented something different from Starmer. On the only foreign policy question that has surfaced so far, the answer arrived from an anonymous Whitehall meeting, not from Burnham's own mouth, and it confirmed continuity rather than change. A Prime Minister who has not yet taken office has already made his position clear on a matter of British sovereignty. He made it through an aide, to a foreign government, before making it to his own country. "It is not hard to see why Jonathan Powell, the architect of the Chagos deal, stays on as Burnham's National Security Adviser."
