Due to the Sentencing Act 2026, Arshid Hussain – the man who abducted and raped me as a child, and who did the same to dozens of other children – is being considered for early release. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison in early 2017 and was described as one of the most dangerous men in the UK. He was later convicted of further offences.

His brother, Basharat Hussain, is also being considered for release.

I honestly can’t put into words how disgusted I am with the British government.

One man swore his door would never shut on a homeless child again. 🇬🇧

Nearly 60,000 children came through it.

One winter night in Victorian London, a homeless boy led a young medical student up onto the rooftops, to where the city's lost children slept in the freezing dark. The student counted 11.

He was Thomas Barnardo, a Dublin-born student bound for missionary work in China. China never got him. The East End did. He left his training behind, because the children could not wait.

In 1870 he opened a home for destitute boys at Stepney Causeway and taught them a trade. Then a boy called Carrots was turned away one night because the home was full. 2 days later he was found dead, of cold and hunger. Barnardo swore it would never happen again. A sign went up: no destitute child ever refused admission. The door stayed open, lamp lit, all night, every night, for the rest of his life.

By his death in 1905, nearly 60,000 children had been taken in.

We tell him whole. His staged fundraising photographs and his child-emigration schemes are criticised today, and fairly, and we do not hide it. But the door he kept open took in tens of thousands of children who had no one, and the charity that carries his name still works across Britain.

Britain is built by people who will not look away. We put the names back, free, for anyone who wants them.

For the first few weeks, Hector went to the gate every morning at the same time and stood there, facing out, ears forward, waiting.

It took the farmer a while to work out what the hour meant. Then he looked it up. It was, near enough, the time the guard used to change.

The body keeps the timetable long after the job has ended. Seventeen years of turning out on the dot does not switch off because the orders stopped arriving. So the old horse presented himself, correct and ready, to a lane in Wales where nothing was going to happen and nobody was coming to inspect him, because that was what the morning had always been for.

He does it less now. Some mornings he forgets. Some mornings the grass is simply more interesting than the gate, and he stays where he is, and that is the quiet sound of a horse letting go of a war he was never told he was allowed to stop fighting.

Nelson never goes to the gate. Nelson has never been on a timetable in his life. He waits by the hedge for Hector to be done with whatever that is about, and then the two of them get on with the day.

A timely reminder that based on the standards Labour set in 2022, if Andy Burnham becomes PM via a leadership election, a General Election should be called.

If Andy Burnham is crowned PM, a General Election should be called.

Formed in the deserts of North Africa during the Second World War by David Stirling, the SAS has become the most famous and respected special forces regiment in the world.

From jungle warfare in Malaya and Borneo, to urban counter-terrorist operations on the streets of London, to deep reconnaissance patrols behind Iraqi lines during the Gulf War, the SAS has repeatedly operated in the toughest environments on earth.

Its selection and training are legendary. Candidates face brutal endurance marches, survival exercises, resistance to interrogation, sleep deprivation, extreme navigation tests and relentless physical and mental pressure. Most fail.

During the Gulf War, SAS patrols operated deep inside Iraqi territory, hunting Scud missile launchers, gathering intelligence and disrupting enemy operations far behind the front lines. Often isolated and outnumbered, they carried out missions that helped cement the regiment's reputation worldwide.

For over 80 years, the SAS has set the standard by which special forces are measured 🇬🇧

Who Dares Wins.

18 June 1815 - Today marks the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

On this day, the British Army under the Duke of Wellington, fighting alongside its allies, defeated Napoleon and brought an end to his ambitions in Europe. Waterloo became one of the greatest victories in British military history. British infantry stood firm under relentless attack throughout the day, enduring artillery bombardment, cavalry charges and repeated assaults before finally driving the French army from the field.

The name Waterloo became synonymous with courage, discipline and determination. It cemented Wellington's place among Britain's greatest commanders and remains one of the defining moments of the British Army's history.

We remember today the soldiers who fought and died on the fields of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. 🇬🇧

On Kristallnacht, November 9, 1938, Aracy de Carvalho watched Hamburg burn.

The next morning she hid a Jewish family in her apartment.

Aracy was 30 — a Brazilian clerk at the Hamburg consulate. A divorced single mother from a small town who spoke German, French, and English. Not a diplomat. Just chief of the Passport Section.

Brazil’s dictator had secretly ordered consulates to reject Jewish visas. Most obeyed. Aracy refused.

She processed Jewish applications, walked them personally to the consul, and got them approved. She worked around the Nazis’ red “J” stamps and sheltered families before they sailed.

In 1938 she partnered with João Guimarães Rosa, the assistant consul. Together they ran a quiet rescue operation for four years. Hundreds of Jews — including the Bertel-Levy, Tuch, and Kazenstein families — reached safety in Brazil.
Aracy never sought credit.

She married Rosa in 1940 and stayed in the background while he became a literary giant.

For decades almost no one knew.

Then survivors spoke.

In 1982 Yad Vashem named her Righteous Among the Nations — the only Brazilian woman ever honored, and the only woman featured in their “Visas for Life” exhibit alongside Wallenberg and Sugihara.

Aracy de Carvalho, the Angel of Hamburg, died in 2011 at 102. A small-town clerk who used a stamp, a signature, and quiet courage to save hundreds of lives and thousands of descendants.

She simply did what her heart demanded when most did not.

I wonder how many people would do the same today?

🔥 Rupert Lowe DESTROYS BBC on Air for Burying Grooming Gangs Report While Obsessing Over Tommy Robinson! 👊

One of the absolute highlights of last night’s election coverage was Rupert Lowe tearing into the BBC live on air for completely burying his devastating independent grooming gangs report!

Laura Kuenssberg was in full pathetic gotcha mode, obsessively badgering him over and over about whether Tommy Robinson might join Restore Britain.

Lowe shut her down instantly: “That’s up to him.”

She kept pushing like a broken record, so he fired back: “It’s a pretty puerile question frankly.”

This lot are dangerously obsessed with @TRobinsonNewEra . It’s a free country, he can join any political party he likes. Get over it!

Then Rupert flipped the script and absolutely shamed them:

“Tommy Robinson I’ve given him credit for what he did on the grooming gangs. I don’t know whether you’ve read our grooming gang report but he was very early out of the traps on identifying this pervasive evil which I’m sad to say the BBC have not covered at all.”

“We issued this huge report and I’m not aware that you’ve covered it at all as a national monopoly which is supposed to cover everything of relevance to the British people. I think that’s quite extraordinary.”

The BBC are a total disgrace. More obsessed with Tommy Robinson joining a party than the industrial-scale r*pe and abuse of hundreds of thousands of young British girls.

Rupert Lowe just exposed them live.

Well said, @RupertLowe10 👏

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is

Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?

And somehow that is the whole point

I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it

From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again

When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak

The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them

But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus

Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it

A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it

And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care

And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off

He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard

That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show

We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product

That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was

And that is exactly why we keep watching

Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!

An English surgeon in Glasgow beat a killer nobody could see. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Today, every safe operation on earth begins the way he insisted.

In 1865, 16 deaths in 35 operations was a good surgeon's record. The knife was not the killer. The ward was. Doctors called it hospitalism, and nobody knew the cause.

Joseph Lister went looking for an enemy nobody could see. Reading the French chemist Pasteur, he learned that rot was the work of living things, germs, and that if they entered a wound, the deaths made sense. He needed a weapon. Carlisle was cleaning its sewage with carbolic acid. If it could clean a sewer, he reasoned, it could clean a wound.

August 1865, Glasgow Royal Infirmary. An 11-year-old boy, run over by a cart, his leg broken open, the kind of wound the ward always won. Lister set the bone and dressed it with carbolic. 6 weeks later, the boy walked out.

So it became the rule. Clean hands. Clean tools. Clean dressings. The grand men of medicine laughed at invisible germs. Lister had kept count. Before carbolic, 16 of his 35 amputation patients died. After it, 6 of 40.

You can laugh at a theory. Nobody laughs at a ledger.

Britain's victories are often like that. Quiet, and counted. We put the names back, free, for anyone who wants them.

A city worker cleaning up after a Tartan Army party said around 2,000 fans had been drinking and having fun... but left the area so clean he didn't even need help tidying up.

What Ed Miliband has done to the local economy in Aberdeen is absolutely disgraceful. He has choked off the oil and gas economy because of his net zero claptrap. Absolutely shameful.

Listen to Rupert Lowe read out just 5 minutes of survivors testimony from the rape gang inquiry.

What sounds like a horror movie, was actually perpetrated against British children by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men.

Legacy media refuse to cover it.

You can now read the Rape Gang Inquiry report on the link below.

https://t.co/Cq2wvRLD4F

From Scotland to London, children were raped, trafficked, tortured, and murdered.

Children as young as four years old were passed on and sold by their own mothers to men to be raped.

Children endured decades of trafficking, filmed blackmail, "red rooms" of torture, animal rape, and witnessed murders of other girls. They were subjected to extreme violence including penetration by objects, strangulation, and backstreet abortions.

Pure evil has been allowed to continue since as early as the 1950s. The majority of perpetrators were Muslim men, and the people paid to protect these children didn’t just turn a blind eye; some were directly involved in the abuse and rape.

As we head into Stage 3 of the inquiry, we will be naming those individuals involved and pursuing private prosecutions.

So far, the inquiry has held two weeks of hearings in London, initiated multiple criminal investigations, taken legal action against dozens of services, collected files and evidence, and continues to give survivors and families a platform.

Some survivors are still being ignored and waiting for investigations to open. The NCA have still not responded to us and the interest of the NPCC is to safeguard the people we intend to name.

I would like to thank MP Rupert Lowe for starting the inquiry, our team, all participants, the donors who made this possible, and, of course, the public for supporting us.

Our work is far from over.
