Trump claims Starmer has "failed very badly" on immigration. But migration surged under the previous Conservative government and has fallen sharply under Starmer. Here's the National Institute of Economic and Social Research:
The seven victims were aged 12 and younger. The "systematic" and "shocking" child sex abuse crimes - committed by a group of women and men - took place over nearly a decade in Walsall and Wolverhampton
The 21 were jailed for over 190 years between them
Is the BBC Chris Mason going to be investigating why the mainstream media are hardly reporting on an arson attack that may have been ordered by Vladimir Putin against the British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer?🤔
If the press and telly ignore this one as much as they have tried to ignore so many of his other scandals we will know for sure we live in a two tier media country
They were found guilty of arson. They were attacking the home of the prime minister. Under instruction by Russian handlers.
If this had happened to a Reform leader you’d have been screaming blue murder.
For shame
When the target is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, this is not just a party story. It's a national story.
A Russian-linked attack on the PM's home should have dominated headlines for weeks.
Instead, much of the political class carried on as though it were routine.
If we cannot recognise an attack on our democracy when it happens, we leave the door open for the next one.

Feels like this should be a big story, no?
Russia behind attacks targeting the British Prime Minister.
Take your feelings for Keir Starmer out of this equation and the fact that it doesn't even make the LBC 7am headlines is astonishing.
Wind back a few years and imagine if this had happened to Boris Johnson — our media would be talking about nothing else.
The fixation within the media on promoting Nigel Farage and the obsession with tearing down Keir Starmer has led us into a news vortex that is almost impossible to peer out of.
Sure the social media ban is big news and sure, there are other stories to talk about, but this is, effectively, a state-sponsored assassination attempt on our Prime Minister.
Right? Or am I missing something here?
We have lost all journalistic integrity within our mainstream news broadcasters — see Beth Rigby turning a press conference about social media, into a question about Starmer being ousted yesterday.
Occasionally, I feel like I'm going mad; have we all lost our collective memories of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.
By orders of magnitude, the two worst Prime Ministers that UK has ever had to endure, but we are being force-fed the line that Starmer is far worse.
I'm not a Starmer fanboy, despite what the inevitable comments below will say, but I do think he has a level of competence that vastly outstrips the aforementioned Truss/Johnson debacle.
So this story is moved on because it is too Starmer-positive — it might create feelings of sympathy in some — and that cannot be allowed.
What a ludicrous and disgraceful state of reporting we are being subjected to.
A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths.
I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools.
No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.
THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO ASK
If a foreign adversary targeted the Prime Minister's home and car, why isn't that the biggest story?
We are told constantly that democracy is under threat.
Yet when there are allegations of foreign interference, many seem more interested in leadership gossip than national security.
Some stories are ignored because they are inconvenient.

More trouble for Tommy Robinson. He’s been working with Russia propagandists to incite violence in the UK well before fuelling pogroms in Belfast last week, from his well heeled perched in Moscow with agents like Malofeev
Version of the classic 1936 poster. "Aixafem el feixisme" (Let’s crush fascism) by Pere Català i Pic. This one also reads "No to fascism. Neither on the streets, nor in the town halls." From the 2023 Catalan municipal elections. Damn, this is an image for our times...

🚨 NEW: The BBC has revealed Russia has been setting up fake far-right and Islamist groups in the UK to stoke division
Operatives paid people to vandalise mosques, spread extremist propaganda and inflame tensions after the Southport riots
So turns out the threats to Starmer’s house were from Russians.
Guess who visits Russia and takes coin from them…
Yaxley Lennon is an unpatriotic fraud and a grifter
Now the Court case is over there needs to be a Parliamentary investigation in to this and any other 'Russian' incidents in the last 2 years.
Farage has many questions to answer
- he alleged an address was firebombed
- he alleges hs phone was hacked by the Russians which led to public disclosure of his hidden £5million.
- he has previous with Russia
- never forget Nathan Gill
Farage should no longer be able to hide behind the attention seeking games he is playing - these are now clear incidents of national security
Wider figures should be looked at too - Robinson was in Moscow this week, he actively promoted the 'attacks' and the conspiracy story about 'rent boys'
This is a brilliant investigation. It shows what many of us knew. Hostile states are supporting both Islamist & far right causes in order to divide us. If you are echoing those narratives you are aiding & abeting a hostile state.
