More than 1,000 veterans must repay tens of thousands of pounds after a pension calculation blunder.
The Ministry of Defence’s error, worth £5.1m, led to pensions being overpaid for years.
Why should veterans repay money given to them by an error not of their making, whereas Angela Rayner is not made to repay her £17,000 severance package?
She’s just regained a Cabinet position for crying out loud!
🚨 WHY did Manchester City Council approve a lease for the exact Heron House suite now used as No.10 North on 10th June 2026?
Andy Burnham wasn’t even an MP until the Makerfield by-election on 18th June.
He didn’t become Prime Minister until 20th July.
So why was the temporary headquarters for “No.10 North” being signed off weeks before he was even elected to Parliament?
How does a serving Mayor “know” he’s about to win a by-election, get parachuted into the leadership, and be crowned PM within weeks — unless the entire sequence was already locked in?
If you’re not asking these questions, you’re choosing not to see it:
The by-election was engineered.
The MPs who voted him in were already aligned.
The system was primed and ready.
Burnham wasn’t elected into No.10. He was placed.
Demand answers. Share this. Force the media to confront the timeline.
The public record is right here:

@JohnCleese This transition of religious power is not multiculturalism, it's acquiescence of British values and morality. Next we get Sikh daggers and Japanese death cults? This does not make us better.
@BBCPolitics When has liebour actually listened to the people, they scam the voters with soundbites, then do what the hell they want anyway. Zero accountability or morals.
@BBCPolitics If he's wanting to change direction on Labours original manifesto & it sounds like he does up to now on certain things then there has to be an election..
We are supposed to be a democracy after all 🙄 @andyburnham
Bradford Council Helped A Rapist Marry His Child Victim. And Then Paid His Family To Enslave Her.
Bradford Council has known since 2021 that its own social worker attended the wedding of a fifteen-year-old girl in its care to the man raping her. That it placed her in his family's home. That it paid them to keep her.
It is all in the review the council commissioned into itself. And for four years, Bradford used that review to fight off a full inquiry.
"Not of additional value." "Unlikely to provide any new learning."
Labour councillors voted an inquiry down as recently as January 2025, days before the first conviction landed.
The child at the centre of that review begged publicly for an inquiry. Bradford said no, every time, until Labour losing control of the council took the decision out of their hands.
Raja Zulqurnean is now serving twenty-three years. Thirteen men have so far been convicted. The officials have never been named.
Today I detail what the authorities in Bradford fought so hard to stop you seeing. The National Inquiry has the power to name names and recommend prosecutions. Whether it does or not will be one of the indicators as to whether it is another Labour Party whitewash

The stories that expose them are the stories they tried and failed to imprison me for sharing.
Eight years in and over 2,000 new sign ups to my newsletter in the last month alone. Even the mainstream media blacklist has failed to censor this campaign. Millions now know the truth of the rape gangs, and who covered up what took place.
What comes next is the National Inquiry, and forcing it to go where it does not want to go. The only way to do that is pressure. We got it this far. Now help push it further, to a place where politicians are forced to testify. That includes the Prime Minister.
My name is Raja Miah. I led the campaign that helped force the National Inquiry. I need your help to make sure it is not a whitewash.
My ask of you is a simple one. Please follow my work on X and take a minute to sign up to and subscribe to my newsletter Red Wall and the Rabble.

Wes Streeting has said he won't take his ministerial salary for his first three months, effectively repaying the £16,876 he received in severance.
Angela Rayner and John Healey still haven't committed to paying theirs back, with Rayner refusing outright.
The pressure is only going one way now.
I think a U-turn is coming sooner rather than later.
@ThePGTipschimp@KingBobIIV Social housing for life is the problem, trick your way in, then save for a private pension, all thanks to muggings the tax payer.
Rayner's £182,000 Masterclass In Hypocrisy
Angela Rayner spent years telling the country that MPs' second jobs were a racket. In March 2023 she wrote that being an MP "isn't a second job. It is the job." Labour, she promised, would put an end to the practice. Eighteen months later she resigned from Cabinet in disgrace over her own financial affairs. Within a year she had earned £182,376 from speeches, book advances and a severance payment she had no obligation to keep. Then she walked straight back into the job she had left.
The figures are not subtle. She earned £104,000 from speaking fees in ten months, on top of an MP's salary that rose to £98,599 in April. She took £61,500 as a book advance for a memoir about her own life. She kept a £16,876 exit payment while Wes Streeting, reappointed to Cabinet the same week, is serving his first three months for nothing.
One fee stands apart from the rest. Propertymark, a trade body representing the property sector, paid Rayner £20,000 for a two-hour speaking engagement. That is £10,000 an hour, from an industry lobby group, paid to a former Housing Secretary weeks before she was reappointed Housing Secretary. Nobody pays that rate for after-dinner charm. They pay it for access, and they got exactly what they paid for. This is not a speaking fee. It is a retainer with a lectern attached.
The woman collecting these cheques left the department with a housebuilding record to be ashamed of. Official figures published by the Ministry of Housing in November show England delivered 208,600 net additional dwellings in 2024-25, a fall of 6 per cent on the year before. New build completions dropped from 198,610 to 190,600. Labour's manifesto promised 1.5 million homes over the Parliament, a rate of 300,000 a year. Rayner delivered barely two-thirds of that. Housebuilding did not accelerate under her stewardship. It slowed.
She has an answer ready for all of it. The severance payment was earned, she told BBC Radio 5 Live, because she had genuinely left government for a period of time. That defence collapses under its own logic. The payment exists to cushion ministers against sudden unemployment. Rayner was not unemployed. She was the best-paid backbencher in Britain, drawing more from four speeches than most of her constituents earn in three years.
Joanna Marchong of the think tank Onward put it plainly: Rayner built her brand attacking Tory sleaze and demanding a ban on MPs' outside earnings, then pocketed £180,000 the moment the rules stopped applying to her. Lee Anderson called her year out a good little earner. Both are right, and neither goes far enough. The deeper failure sits in the housing numbers, where the gap between rhetoric and delivery is measured not in pounds but in homes that were never built.
Labour came to power promising a government that would look different from what came before it. Rayner's year off shows how quickly that promise curdles into the same old story: rules for the public, exemptions for the powerful, and a lobby group's cheque book standing in for genuine accountability. She missed her housing target by a third and was rewarded with reappointment. She broke her own stated principle on second jobs and was rewarded with £182,376. The voters who elected this government on a promise of change deserve to know that the change stopped at the Cabinet door.
