KATE DEARDEN: THE BINGLEY GIRL WHO PARACHUTED INTO HALIFAX, GOT REJECTED BY WAKEFIELD FIRST, AND IS NOW TELLING YOU HOW TO CANCEL YOUR NETFLIX

Yesterday, as her own constituency posted crime figures 78 percent above the national average for violence and sexual offences, the Member of Parliament for Halifax logged onto X to announce that she was making it easier for you to cancel your gym subscription.

She got 73 likes. The top reply got 50 and it read: "Voters' big problem with subscriptions is that they can't cancel the one with Labour."

Meet Kate Alexandra Dearden. Minister of State. Minister for Employment Rights and Consumer Protection. Parachuted, salaried, promoted, and now, as of Monday evening, publicly ratioed by her own voters on the platform she uses to lecture the country.

Let's start with the parachute. Dearden is not from Halifax. She was born and raised in Bingley, twenty miles up the road, schooled at a Catholic college in Bradford, and finished at the University of Edinburgh reading International Relations. She chaired Edinburgh Labour Students. She campaigned for equal marriage in Scotland. She has, on paper, everything a modern Labour selection panel dreams of. What she does not have, and never had, is Halifax in her voice.

She tried Wakefield first. In the 2022 by-election, she went for the ticket and Labour told her no. Rejected by the seat next door. So when Holly Lynch stood down in Halifax in 2024, the machine found her a second chance in a town she had never lived in. She took it. Halifax now belongs to a woman from Bingley by way of Edinburgh and Bradford, and if you think that is a technicality, remember that the crime figures she inherited are catastrophic and the first thing she chose to talk about this week was your Netflix.

Now to the union. From 2017 to 2024, Dearden worked for Community, one of Labour's affiliated trade unions. She started as a Research and Campaigns Officer. By January 2020 she was Head of Research, Policy and External Relations. That is not junior. That is not clerical. That is the person who writes the union's policy positions and briefs Labour ministers on what the union wants. In 2024, she stopped writing to ministers. She became one.

Community Union then donated £4,000 to her constituency operation. The pipeline was complete. Officer of union, funded by union, elected as MP, appointed as Minister for Employment Rights. The Bill she is now piloting through Parliament is, in effect, the policy paper she used to write. She is marking her own homework in front of a Commons that is expected to nod it through.

Business has noticed. Seven of Britain's major business groups, the British Chambers of Commerce among them, have written to Dearden collectively warning about "lack of government engagement with business" and about the trade union provisions in her Bill. The chairman of Marks and Spencer, Archie Norman, called it "a political indulgence." The Shadow Business Secretary accused her of signing "the warrant for a war on jobs" and drafting "a charter for a jobless generation." She defended it in The Guardian by saying it was time for the Lords to stop delaying. That is the tone of a minister who thinks scrutiny is an inconvenience.

Meanwhile, Halifax.

Violence and sexual offences 78 percent above the national average. Public order offences 66 percent above. Burglary 55 percent above. Criminal damage and arson 53 percent above. Theft 31 percent above. This is not a statistical footnote. This is a town where women do not walk home alone, where shops board their windows before dusk, where the police response times are a running joke. And her signature intervention this week, on the platform she uses to speak to the country, was a promise to help you find the cancel button on a website.

She was Assistant Whip from July 2024 to September 2025. Whip. Party enforcer. The person who tells rebel MPs to sit down. She spent her first year in Parliament policing dissent. Then she was rewarded with a ministerial red box. Then she was promoted again, in July 2026, to Minister of State. Two promotions in twenty four months. Zero measurable delivery on the streets that elected her.

Look at the replies to her subscription tweet. Not from Reform trolls. Not from the right. From ordinary Labour voters and disgusted centrists. "Imagine being so desperate for favours you lower yourself to this. It's pathetic." Thirty likes. Ratioed. "I really don't understand why a subscription is hard to cancel." Nineteen likes. Ratioed. Her own post was doing 73. The vibes are terminal.

And this is the pattern of the 2024 Labour intake in miniature. Not local. Not chosen by voters, but by lists. Trained not in the town but in the union or the think tank. Ministerial before mastery. Announcements before achievement. Cancel buttons for you, promotions for them, and 78 percent above average for the women of Halifax whose actual lives depend on someone giving a damn.

So let us count what Kate Alexandra Dearden has actually delivered for Halifax since July 2024.

Two promotions for herself.
One Employment Rights Bill written to the specifications of her former employer.
One £4,000 union cheque into her local operation.
Seven business groups collectively begging her to listen.
Zero drop in violent crime.
Zero drop in sexual offences.
Zero connection to the town whose name is on her door.
One viral tweet about subscriptions, ratioed by her own side.
She was not sent to Parliament to be the union's ambassador to the Cabinet. She was not sent to be Community's woman in Whitehall. She was not sent to explain to Halifax how to find the cancel button.
She was sent to represent you.
She does not.

Spot on. Some of the metro lanyard classes are pretty stupid, promoted and protected by group think that eschews meritocracy. Just look at the numpties now running even places as supposedly prestigious as Cambridge University. DEI has allowed them to virtue signal and bolster their own positions simultaneously. Win-win for the lanyards.

GREECE DEPORTS 169 PAKISTANIS IN SIX MONTHS. BRITAIN FUNDS 13 MOSQUES THAT PREACH "KILL THE JEW."

While Athens revokes residency and puts criminals on planes, Westminster offers terror-linked preachers charity status, police protection, and invitations to primary schools.

Here is the complete receipt. Read it and weep.

THE GREECE MODEL: LAW AND ACTION

In the first half of 2026, Greece achieved something Britain has forgotten is possible. They enforced their laws.

The Numbers:
• 169 Pakistani nationals returned (nearly matching 180 arrivals)
• 2,638 total returns (up 20% year-on-year)
• Forced deportations: 1,292 (up 41%)
• Egyptian returns: 227 (nearly quadrupled from 59)

The Law:
Article 28 of Law 5224/25 (2025) makes operating an illegal place of worship a criminal offense. Penalty: 2-6 months prison, heavy fines, and automatic deportation for foreign operators. No appeals. No "community cohesion" meetings. No MPs visiting for photo opportunities. Pack your bags.

The Action:
Migration Minister Thanos Plevris announced operation targeting 60 illegal mosques in Athens (February 2026). Four already closed in first wave. Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals specifically targeted. Residency permits revoked. Deportation proceedings active.

The policy is called "prison or return." And it is working.

The Case Study:
Jabed Alam. Pakistani community leader granted UK asylum in 2021 despite Interpol warrant for human trafficking. Called for legalizing cousin marriages to "keep it in the family." Greece recently deported him. Britain granted him sanctuary. Greece sent him home.

THE UK REALITY: WARNINGS AND WISHFUL THINKING

While Greece deports criminals, Britain protects them. Here are 13 mosques and Islamic centres with documented terrorism links, antisemitic hate speech, and extremist preaching. All remain open. All retain charity status. All operate with your tax money.

THE TERROR LINKS:

Masjid Sunnah Nelson & Al-Sunnah Mosque, Manchester
Both attended by Jihad al-Shamie, perpetrator of the October 2025 Manchester synagogue attack that killed two people. Al-Shamie and an associate discussed plans at Al-Sunnah. The imam called on God to "deal with the Jews." Both mosques remain open. No deportations. No closures. "Assessment ongoing."

Brighton Mosque and Muslim Community Centre
Former trustee and imam Abubaker Deghayes convicted in 2022 for encouraging terrorism. Described jihad "by sword" as compulsory while making stabbing motions in front of 50 people including children. Charity Commission inquiry concluded "misconduct and mismanagement." Result: Interim manager appointed, new board installed, mosque continues operating with "improved governance." The stabbing motion was apparently just a "governance issue."

THE ANTISEMITIC HATE:

• Abdullah Quilliam Mosque, Liverpool
Sermon after October 7 Hamas attack urged Muslims to "wage war for Allah." National Secular Society reported it. Result: Official warning. Then in 2025, MPs from the Women and Equalities Committee visited as part of work on "community cohesion." Rewarding extremism with parliamentary photo opportunities. Still open.

• Mohammadi Masjid, Birmingham
Preacher Abu Ibraheem Hussnayn (October 2023): "Oh Muslim, behind me is a Jew, come and kill him. These times are coming." Part of Telegraph dossier examined by Charity Commission. Mosque remains open. No deportation. No prosecution. Just another "warning."

• Redbridge Islamic Centre, London
Imam preached (October 2023): "Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel... disperse and tear apart their unity and ruin their houses." Metropolitan Police investigated. Result: Closed investigation for "insufficient evidence." Campaign Against Antisemitism forced to launch private prosecution, calling the police decision an "appalling betrayal." Mosque still open. Police still protecting it.

• Greenwich Islamic Centre, London
Imam Muhammad Abdullah Shakir (October 2023): "Protect Al Aqsa from the Jews," "curse the infidels," "destroy their land." Local MP condemned as antisemitic hate. Result: Centre hosted primary school events. NSS warned children "dangerously exposed." Still operating. Still hosting. Still cursing.

THE HAMAS SUPPORT:

Islamic Centre of Brent
Five sermons November-December 2023. Four contained inflammatory/divisive content. Two could reasonably be interpreted as encouraging support for Hamas a proscribed terrorist organization. Charity Commission issued official warning. Still open. Still registered. Still funded.

Central Oxford Mosque Society
Social media posts October-November 2023 judged "divisive/inflammatory" after Hamas attacks. No adequate social media policy. Official warning. Still open. The advancement of religion apparently includes the advancement of terror.

THE EXTREME PREACHING:

Bedford Islamic Centre
Hosted Abu Usama preacher calling for homosexuals to be thrown from mountains, killing apostates, promoting Protocols of the Elders of Zion. NSS referred for antisemitism and misogyny. Still open. The "Protocols" are apparently just "community cohesion."

An-Noor Masjid and Green Lane Masjid
Sermons stating men may hit wives if they refuse sex. Green Lane previously faced funding suspension over extreme preachers including Abu Usama. Repeated "advice and guidance" from regulator. Still open. Wife-beating is apparently just "guidance."

Hounslow Jamia Masjid and Islamic Centre
Hosted Egyptian preacher Yosry Gabr (2026) who called for "killing Jews" and said "the final war will begin in which we will kill every Jew." Earlier 2023 talk by same cleric posted by mosque blamed "all evil" in Muslim world on Jews. Charity Commission probe opened. Still operating. The final war is apparently just "inflammatory content."

Tawhid Mosque, Leyton
Sheikh Suhaib Hasan claimed Supernova festival massacre victims were "killed by their own people" or deserved it. Referred to Hamas as "believers." Included in Telegraph compilations of hate-filled rants. Still open. The believers are apparently just "divisive."

THE COMPARISON: ACTION VS EXCUSES

GREECE:
• Illegal basement mosque = Closed + automatic deportation
• "Wage war for Allah" = Criminal prosecution, deportation
• Synagogue attacker links = Mosque shut down
• "Kill the Jew" sermon = Deported
• 169 Pakistanis returned (H1 2026)
• Forced deportations up 41%
• "Prison or return" policy

UK:
• Terror-linked mosque = "Official warning"
• "Wage war for Allah" = MPs visit for "community cohesion"
• Synagogue attacker links = "Assessing sermons," still open
• "Kill the Jew" sermon = Police close investigation, private prosecution required
• 65,922 crossings since Labour took power
• 2,000+ arrivals in Burnham's first 2 weeks
• "Official warning" policy

THE PIPELINE

Here is what Greece understands that Britain refuses to.

When Greece deports 169 Pakistani nationals and Bangladesh arrivals surge 312% to Crete, where do those rejected migrants go? Back to Islamabad? Dhaka?

No. They go to the weakest link. The country where the Home Secretary "almost always voted against stricter asylum systems." Where Shabana Mahmood's conversion to border control coincided exactly with Reform polling well. Where 65,922 have crossed since July 2024. Where 2,000 arrived in the new Prime Minister's first fortnight.

They come to Britain. And when they arrive, they find 13 mosques waiting, terror-linked, hate-preaching, investigated but protected ready to receive them.

The pipeline is real. Greece pushes. Britain pulls. And the result is institutionalized surrender dressed as tolerance.

THE CALL

Greece has shown you what action looks like: law, deportation, closure.

The UK has shown you what institutional decay looks like: investigations, warnings, "guidance," and terror-linked mosques hosting primary school children while preaching genocide.

If Greece can identify extremists, revoke residency, and deport criminals within months why has the UK failed for decades?

If Greece can close 60 mosques for operating illegally why does Britain protect 13 mosques linked to terrorism and hate?

The answer is not incompetence. The answer is choice. The British state has chosen social cohesion over security, diversity over safety, and "community cohesion" over child protection.

Close the borders. Close the mosques. Remove the illegals. Replace the politicians.

Or lose the country.

The opposite is true. The Establishment has elevated DEI to the exclusion of all other characteristics. So that ethnicity, colour, race and religion matter more than class. This has hugely benefitted the metropolitan middle class and penalised working class kids of all types. That’s the Establishment stitch up.

A Camera Inside Special Forces Headquarters Was Quietly Talking to China

The Ministry of Defence says no evidence exists that data or systems were compromised. In the same breath, it confirms that cameras fitted to Royal Navy special forces drones were sending signals to an IP address in China, and that every internet connection on the fleet had to be ripped out once this was discovered. Those two claims cannot both be reassuring. One of them is the scandal, and the MoD's own statement admits it.

The devices in question are K3 Scout surveillance drones, part of a £12 million fleet used by the Royal Marines' Coastal Forces Squadron and 47 Commando since March. They operated close to the Special Boat Service headquarters in Poole, one of the most sensitive military sites in Britain, where security-cleared personnel plan operations most of the country will never hear about. The cameras were sending what investigators call heartbeat communications, signals confirming a device is live and functioning, to China. A camera that quietly proves to Beijing it is switched on and working, stationed beside special forces headquarters, is not a data breach waiting to happen. It is a channel that already existed, whether or not anything more passed through it.

The certification failure here matters as much as the breach itself. Kraken, the British contractor that supplied the drones, describes the cameras as NDAA-compliant, certified under US law to be free of components from restricted Chinese manufacturers. That certification was supposed to be the safeguard. It failed on equipment marketed as British, deployed beside Britain's most secretive forces, sourced through a supply chain nobody appears to have checked closely enough before signing off.

Alicia Kearns, the shadow security minister, put the stakes plainly: if Britain cannot say with confidence what is inside its own military equipment, it cannot say that equipment is truly its own, or that the country remains sovereign over it. That is not overstatement. A drone fleet intended to support a British defence package securing freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz was quietly reporting to the very state Britain's own intelligence services have spent years warning about.

None of this happened in isolation. It follows the revelation of a concealed chamber built into China's new embassy beside cables carrying the City's financial data. It follows the SBS banning Chinese-built electric cars from its own headquarters over near-identical fears. It arrived not long after MI5 warned MPs that Chinese intelligence was working relentlessly to harvest information through ordinary employment websites, and weeks after a spy trial collapsed because the government would not call Beijing a threat in open court. Each of these was defended individually as manageable, isolated, contained. A camera phoning home from inside special forces territory is what containment actually looks like once tested.

Downing Street has spent the past year pursuing a diplomatic thaw with Beijing, high-profile visits, trade ambitions, a super-embassy waved through despite the warnings attached to it. This discovery does not fit comfortably into that story. It sits instead as evidence of what happens when a government treats vigilance as an obstacle to relations rather than a precondition for them. The camera has been switched off. The question it leaves behind, why it took an accidental discovery rather than a functioning safeguard to catch it, has not been.

"Alicia Kearns, the shadow security minister, put the stakes plainly: if Britain cannot say with confidence what is inside its own military equipment, it cannot say that equipment is truly its own, or that the country remains sovereign over it."

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

I want the world to hear what we heard.

Rupert Lowe spoke these words in Parliament. You, Burnham, were not listening. You were posing on a bus.

Three weeks. Three weeks of bus fares and beer taxes while children testify to Parliament about being penetrated with broken bottles.

Here is what you have not mentioned, Burnham. Here is what your £2 bus fare cannot distract from.

The girl of twelve. The bottle. The glass shattering inside her.

The child held down. Arms pinned. Legs spread. Raped orally and vaginally. Beaten. Told she would be killed if she spoke.

The testimony that white Christian girls were morally worthless. Muslim girls protected with "dignity." The racial hierarchy that justified industrial rape.

The Imam who knew. Who covered. Who arranged marriage to hide the crime. Who looked after "their own community."

The police officers who raped victims across multiple forces.

The baby. The cigarette. The face.

The thirteen-year-old. Six hundred men. Three years.

You posed on a bus while this was read into the record.

THE OBITUARY

Andy Burnham - Mayor of Cover-Up. Prime Minister of Distraction. You had eight years in Manchester. Rough sleeping doubled. You had three weeks in Downing Street. The boats kept coming. You are not a leader. You are a liability in a red tie.

Keir Starmer - Director of Public Prosecutions 2008-2013. The years the gangs peaked. You slow-walked cases. You dropped prosecutions. You appointed Nazir Afzal while the industrial rape continued. Now you resist the inquiry you never ordered. Your fingerprints are on every failure.

Jess Phillips - The Sanitiser. Who rejected Oldham's plea for inquiry. Who scrubbed a year of digital history. Whose resignation is not mercy but the beginning of accountability. The erasure proves guilt. Your absence will not erase your silence.

Harriet Harman - NCCL legal officer. Your organization submitted documents arguing to lower the age of consent to ten. To legalize incest. You stood affiliated with the Paedophile Information Exchange. Your terror of being called racist manifested as silence while children were passed between predators. The ideological rot runs deep.

Lucy Powell - "Blowing that little trumpet." "Getting the dog whistle out." Your sneer when speaking of raped children is recorded. Your contempt is eternal.

Denis MacShane - 1,400 girls in Rotherham. Your seat. Your watch. "Not wanting to rock the multicultural boat." Police warned you. Parents begged you. You chose the boat.

Jack Straw - 2011. Decades too late. Thousands too few.

This is not failure. This is architecture. Deliberate. Systematic. The protection of voting blocs above children. The institutionalisation of two-tier policing. The granting of impunity to the unspeakable.

You have bankrupted the treasury. You have abandoned the people. You have broken the daughters. And you offer cheaper buses.

Listen to Rupert. Every word. There is nothing more important.

Three weeks of silence while the testimonies echoed. Three weeks of distraction while the truth demanded action.

The reckoning is here. It cannot be buried. It will not be distracted.

The truth is coming for every name on this list. File by file. Scream by scream.

You will not be remembered as leaders. You will be remembered as sentinels who stood guard at the gates and waved the devils through.

Act. Or be entombed.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Hey Rip Van Winkle, where you been. This was decided under the Tories and confirmed by Starmer. Just woken up?

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

As we watch the sudden burst of attacks on Rupert
Lowe we realise that it's simply because he wants to upend a lot of British corrupt practice

And these scummy journalists resort to propaganda,
instead of doing their real job, which is reporting the news fairly

We need Leveson 2 badly

And the British press don't, because the last thing they want is to have to clean up their act

Good news chaps.
