These stories are exactly why I will never stay silent when it comes to protecting the safety of women and girls across this country.
When it comes to violence against women and girls perpetrated by illegal migrant men, Labour and the Lib Dems seem determined to turn a blind eye.

Users across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia have reported widespread connectivity issues.

FYI “Fridays for Future” aka ‘School Strike for Climate’ is an international movement of school students who skip Friday classes to participate in demonstrations to demand action from political leaders to prevent climate change and for the fossil fuel industry to transition to renewable energy. Greta herself staged a protest outside the Swedish parliament in 2018. The derisory laughter is disturbingly revealing.
I'm blindingly furious.
Yesterday, Britain helped Iran get elected to the UN committee that oversees how the UN delivers its programmes, from human rights and women's rights to counterterrorism.
Yes, really. The world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism will now help review the UN's counterterrorism work. A regime that hangs dissidents from cranes will help scrutinise its human rights programmes.
America, Canada and Australia voted against. Britain had already waved Iran's candidacy through back in April. Ministers call it an "automaticity". Their hands, apparently, were tied. Right.
Then how did Washington, Ottawa and Canberra manage to stand up and be counted?
This is the regime behind some 20 potentially lethal plots on British soil, which has targeted British Jews and is holding a British couple as hostages in all but name. And our foreign secretary, who will sanction Israeli ministers – from the very country that helps defend us against Iran – at the drop of a hat, cannot bring himself to say publicly that Tehran has no business on that committee.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Friday that a liquefied gas carrier struck a naval mine after ignoring warnings and traveling through a route they described as "unauthorized". The IRGC also said the vessel was escorted by US fighter jets.

رأی ناعادلانه «اعدام» برای این جوانان توسط دادگاه انقلاب مشهد به ریاست حسین یزدانخواه صادر ��ده است.
در این پرونده که به نام «شاندیز» شناخته میشود، چهار جوان دیگر به نامهای مهدی ظریف، متین شبانی، حسین رسولینسب و حسن گلشننژاد نیز به اعدام محکوم شدهاند.
صدایشان باشیم و نگذاریم جمهوری اسلامی در سکوت جانهای بیگناه دیگری را بگیرد.

پیام یک ایرانی از مزار جاویدنام امید سرلک، به رئیسجمهور آمریکا:
«پرزیدنت ترامپ، با این رژیم فاسد مذاکره نکنید. با شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، تنها آلترناتیوی که ما مردم ایران به رسمیت میشناسیم گفتوگو کنید.»
Prince Reza Pahlavi responded to a personal reflection by @MargolinRabbi , Chairman of the European Jewish Association, thanking him for accompanying the Prince and Princess Yasmine Pahlavi during their visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau.
The Prince described the visit as a reminder of our shared responsibility to preserve the memory of the victims and confront denial, antisemitism and hatred. He expressed hope that a free Iran will once again stand as a symbol of peace, friendship and human dignity.
Tonight in Krakow, on the eve of our EJA delegation to Auschwitz, I presented the King Solomon Award to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, together with Holocaust survivor Baroness Regina Sluszny and EJA Secretary General David Lega.
King Solomon was known for his wisdom and his pursuit of peace. The Iranian people are a wise people, and we want to see them free.

@jwomencount2 Shame on the UK Government. Why nominate a regime accused of such grave human rights abuses? For what price or political gain? Britain risks losing the trust of generations of Iranians. What a disgraceful message.
In the Lords today, the government was asked why they NOMINATED Iran for the UN committee that shapes priorities, inc on human rights.
Baroness Winterton suggests Iran is unfit to serve on a body of this nature and regrets their election. So why did the Gov nominate them
As calls for an independent inquiry into the BBC escalate, I address the more recent allegations of antisemitism within the corporation. The BBC’s response, insisting that its existing procedures are robust and that an external investigation is unnecessary, highlights the problem. The allegations don’t simply concern isolated editorial mistakes, but systemic failures, institutional bias, misleading reporting and failures of senior management. How can an institution accused of such serious failings credibly investigate itself?
Two Iranian men were found guilty on Thursday of assisting Iranian intelligence operations targeting Iran International journalists in Britain, following a six-week trial at London’s Woolwich Crown Court.
Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, and Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, were unanimously convicted of engaging in conduct likely to assist a foreign intelligence service under Britain’s National Security Act.
A third defendant, Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 57, was acquitted of all charges and discharged by the court.
Sepahvand was also unanimously convicted of conducting surveillance and reconnaissance with the intention of committing serious violence against a person in Britain.
Javadi Manesh was acquitted of a separate charge alleging that he conducted surveillance intending to facilitate serious violence by others. Noori was also acquitted of that charge.

BREAKING: A new caravan of nearly 2,000 people appearing to come from Central and South America is making its way toward the U.S. southern border following Democrats’ midterm landslide.
President Trump is now threatening to double current tariffs on Mexico if officials don’t stop the caravan from reaching the American border, saying that migrants will not be allowed to enter the country.

U.S. troops and military aircraft are being moved from a British air base as authorities uncover an alleged terror plot targeting multiple sites across Europe.
Investigators say Mohammad Dawud al-Saadi, already in federal custody in New York City on terrorism charges, has been using phone calls with family members overseas to allegedly pass coded messages to two other men.
One of the alleged targets is RAF Fairford, a British military base that hosts U.S. forces and aircraft.
Only al-Saadi is currently in custody. All three men could face life in prison if convicted.
@davidspunt reports the latest on the alleged plot, the coded messages and the questions investigators are still working to answer.

Leeds and Westminster Councils reject antisemitic notion that “Zionism is racism”.
The Councils reaffirmed support for the Jewish community and emphasised the need to challenge antisemitism.
The Westminster motion was jointly introduced by Labour and the Conservatives, while the Leeds motion was submitted by a local Independent.
Other councils such as Barnet and Edinburgh have also passed similar motions, with councillors across the country speaking out against anti-Jewish racism.
These votes comes in the wake of Labour pulling out of power-sharing agreements with the Green Party in eleven local authorities, with Labour Party Chair Bridget Phillipson saying the Green policy “crosses a line”.
We have referred the Green Party to the EHRC following the Party’s passage of the antisemitic “Zionism is racism” motion.
