Today marks the end of the survivor participation for our rape gang inquiry hearings. I simply have no words that describe the bravery and courage of these women who have come forward.
No words.
What they have been through is indescribable.
It has been a life-changing experience for me. I never thought such evil was possible. Never. Not here, in Britain. In our towns, in our communities. It is pure evil. These men are so utterly depraved.
If it were up to me, thousands of them would receive the death penalty.
To do what they did, on such an industrial scale, to innocent young girls - many of whom were already in such an incredibly vulnerable place? There is no redemption possible. The world is a better place without them in it.
I started this inquiry because so many others failed.
Speaking honestly, I did not understand how deep this evil is rooted in our society.
Police, politicians, council officials, the NHS, social workers, children’s homes - it is everywhere.
IS everywhere. Not was. IS.
Meeting these women, and men, listening to how severely they were failed by those tasked to protect them? My views have changed forever. I knew it was bad. I never knew how bad it was.
Every single one who has come forward is a hero in my view.
The courage and grace in how they have conducted themselves is unlike anything I have seen in my life. All because they don’t want others to suffer the same fate. That is an extraordinary sacrifice. They could have just moved on with their lives. Tried to forget. But no, they chose to do this. I am in awe of all of them.
Our hearings will finish tomorrow, following the contribution of three more expert witnesses.
Then the next stage begins. We will produce a report, and then we will seek to put people in prison. There are FAR more testimonies and evidence to release - this will keep coming and coming and coming.
Even with a media blackout, we have reached tens of millions. We have made real progress.
And following such immense demand, we will reopen the portal so that more women can tell their stories.
This is just the beginning.
Politicians from all parties have failed these girls, again and again and again.
I do not intend to join that list.
To everyone who donated, thank you. To our team, thank you. And especially to the survivors, thank you.
I believe that together we can start to make Britain understand what is happening, and then finally do something about it.
£200 million allocated to preparing British troops to be deployed in Ukraine.
We can’t even defend our own border. It is pathetic.
I will use my vote in Parliament to oppose British troops on the ground in Ukraine.
Business rates. The British people, and its MPs, do not understand the coming apocalypse. And it is going to be an apocalypse. I talk to pub owners, cafe owners, all types of small business owners. They are terrified and nobody is listening.
Real people. Family businesses. The sort of places that keep towns and villages alive.
They are running out of road, and the business rates change will be the end of the road for many.
They’ve absorbed blow after blow over the last few decades and kept going anyway. But this will be the end for many. A sad, bitter end.
Rising rents. Rising supplier costs. Rising insurance. Endless compliance. Paperwork that grows every year but adds absolutely zero value.
They dealt with all the lockdown bullshit.
Forced closures. Confusing rules. Constant U-turns. Damaging loans. ‘Following’ the science, remember?
Many got no proper support due to the structure of their businesses. They battled on.
People remortgaged homes, drained savings, worked unpaid - just to keep the doors intact so they could reopen when finally allowed.
When restrictions were lifted, it wasn’t normal. Customers poorer, costs stayed high, footfall patchy.
Then the energy costs blowing up after the Ukraine war. Still bleeding the business dry.
And now, on top of all of that, they’re staring down a business rates revaluation that could be the final straw. Not because their business is suddenly thriving or profits are surging, but because a formula has made some impossibly complicated recalculations.
For hospitality, there is no escape. A pub can’t go remote. A cafe can’t move to a warehouse.
They have to be there. In the town, paying extortionate business rates.
This, of course, is all after higher operating costs from the first Reeves budget. NI changes were punishing for these businesses. Absolutely punishing.
We inflict such brutal costs on high street businesses, then we’re confused when so many of our town centres are becoming desolate shitholes? Not that difficult to figure out, is it?
And now this. The rates increase. For small pubs, it’s adding tens of thousands of pounds to the bill every year. THEY WILL GO BUST.
There is no way to pay it and stay viable. It’s impossible. I’d like to see Reeves try. Then she’d really start crying.
I am doing what I can in Westminster. Questions asked, motion tabled - with just three MPs supporting so far.
James McMurdock, Gavin Williamson and Peter Bedford. I am going to lobby for more support, and hopefully we can get Government to listen.
We’ve seen with the farming tax changes can be made if enough noise is made, but sadly I’m just not seeing anywhere near that same level of anger. And we need anger for them to notice.
This could be the end of the British pub.
That is not an exaggeration, and it’s not just pubs - it’s entire industries.
So get angry. Ask your MP to sign the motion.
I am doing what I can in Westminster.
It HAS to change.
Probably the most epic takedown of Net Zero ever aired on television, courtesy of Peter Hitchens.
"If you want to live in a country where nobody can afford to heat their house... if you want lots of people to lose their jobs because there's no energy, if you want to be cold all the time... then carry on believing that the demand to go for Net Zero... is intelligent and thoughtful."
TRUMP: "Yet even to Iran, whose regime has inflicted so much death on the Middle East, the hand of friendship and cooperation is open."
"I'm telling you, they want to make a deal. That's all I do in my life. I make deals, I'm good at it."
"Neither the United States nor Israel bear the people of Iran any hostility. We merely want to live in peace."
"We don't want any looming threats over our heads, and we don't want to even think in terms of nuclear destruction."
