@KemiBadenoch And yet, not one of you have reached out to meet me, the mother of Rhiannon Whyte? Or help me get answers . I really hope Henry's family get the peace they deserve, because I know I won't, yet I've tried so many times.
This is Veronika Chuian. She was 28.
Russia killed her in missile strike on Kyiv as she ran with her children to a shelter.
Her 2-year-old is badly injured. Her mother lost a leg. Her 4-year-old is now with relatives.
Behind every Russian strike is family in Ukraine like this.

Anyone else struggling to understand how the courts and British justice can move within 24 hours against an angry fella pushing a bin but everything else takes months if not years to be heard?
Two-tier policing in Britain is not just a political phrase to me, it is painfully real.
Henry Nowak’s murder, what has shaken so many people is not only the violence that took his life, but what happened in his final moments. A young white British man repeatedly said four times that he had been stabbed. Nine times he said he could not breathe. Yet instead of urgent medical help being the immediate and overwhelming priority, the last words he heard were his rights being read to him after being arrested, as he lay dying on the floor. A young man with his whole life ahead of him, begging the very people who were meant to serve and protect him to save him, yet they watched him die whilst they prioritised handcuffing him over a racial accusation. He told them he’d been stabbed. The reply of the male police officer “I don’t think you have mate”, the female officer shining a torch in his eyes openly admitting his pupils were not responding. I hope to god they are not parents. I wept for that defenceless young man watching the footage. It is haunting. As a mother, I am sick to my stomach.
That image is unbearable. And it raises serious, uncomfortable questions.
In modern Britain, policing exists under intense scrutiny around race. When officers become so fearful of being accused of racism that they hesitate, second-guess, or overcorrect in situations involving suspects of a different racial background, something has gone deeply wrong.
Equality before the law cannot mean paralysis. It cannot mean different thresholds of response depending on who is involved.
There is a growing perception whether institutions admit it or not, that when the victim is white British and the opposing party is of a different race, officers tread more cautiously, sometimes appearing reluctant to intervene decisively. Not because of evidence. Not because of facts. But because of optics. Because of headlines. Because of fear.
Policing driven by fear of accusation is not impartial policing. It is reactive policing. And reactive policing costs lives.
As a survivor of a Muslim rape gang, I know what two-tier treatment and institutional failure feel like. I lived it. I went to the authorities as a victim and felt treated as a problem instead. I saw how institutions bend over backwards to avoid racial tension, even when vulnerable girls were being abused in plain sight. Victims were accused of lying. We were disbelieved. In some cases, we were even criminalised ourselves while the real perpetrators were left untouched for far too long.
That is the reality of our corrupt and cowardly systems. They protect their image. They protect diversity statistics. They protect careers. But they fail the vulnerable. Over, and over, and over again.
Other races and religions do not have more rights than white British people.. Rights are equal. Protection should be equal. Urgency should be equal. If a man says he has been stabbed, you save his life first. If a woman says she has been raped, you protect her first. If a child reports abuse, you investigate first. You do not filter your response through fear of being considered racist.
Britain cannot function on selective courage. Justice must not depend on who is watching, what social media might say, or which community might be offended. It must depend on facts, law, and the immediate protection of human life.
Two-tier policing, whether real in policy or real in practice, destroys trust. And once communities begin to believe that the system weighs race before it weighs evidence, that trust collapses entirely.
We deserve better than that. Equal protection under the law is not a radical demand. It is the foundation of a civilised society.
Kier Starmer may sit in PMQ’s saying lessons will be learned, but Kier, how many white British people does your Government have to fail before you realise this is an issue that has been ignored for decades? It’s costing people their lives!
@ryansabey@SophiaSleigh@bbcquestiontime I’ve never known a by-election where the leading candidate doesn’t publicly support his own party leader! Why would anyone vote for that uncertainty?
@Peston I don’t understand how Andy Burnham can remain the official Labour candidate when he’s openly saying that Starmer should stand down as leader? Bizarre
The Labour government is now pretty much officially in a condition of civil war.
Andy Burnham has just said he is preparing a leadership campaign.
And No.10, speaking for Keir Starmer, immediately responded by saying “The country expects us to focus on governing and to deliver change for hardworking people, not get distracted by Westminster debates. The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and it has not been triggered. The Prime Minister will not walk away from the mandate he was given just two years ago to build a stronger, fairer Britain.”
In other words, Starmer is saying he will fight any challenger.
Messy.
@Peston I don’t understand how Andy Burnham can remain the official Labour candidate when he’s openly saying that Starmer should stand down as leader? Bizarre
Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.
The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.
@TheJadeWarwick@GBNEWS@Benleo@Keir_Starmer@ShabanaMahmood Great to see you on GB News. The media are not focusing on the fact that Shabana Mahmood has said she wants to create lots of legal routes for asylum seekers to the UK. Which would hugely increase the numbers coming. Shameful.
