@educationgovuk Shut up you spiteful hag, teachers have zero confidence in the job your doing

Sadly, @DurhamHighSch has announced its closure after 142 years of giving girls an education they for so long had been denied. This school has 281 pupils, leaving all but those graduating this year having to find a new school place and leave the world they knew.

That now makes 126 school closures. It doesn't have to be this way. We wish the students, staff and families all the best during this difficult time.

A raped child in this country knocked on SIX doors for help. The police. The social workers. The prosecutors. The council. The mayor. The government. Every single one SLAMMED in her face.

Nearly every one of those doors belongs to the people running Britain right now.

Today @carlalockhart asked Keir Starmer to make sure the inquiry finally lets the truth out. She was asking the man who sat at the top of the system that buried it.

Because when Starmer talks about institutions that looked the other way, he wasn't watching it happen. He was RUNNING one.

Picture one girl. Just one. Being raped by a gang, trying to be heard. Watch every door she knocks on, and watch who's behind it.

The police. They don't record it. They call her a nuisance, a troublemaker, a girl making a lifestyle choice. In some towns, officers are now accused of abusing girls themselves. Door one. SLAMMED.

The social workers. They see her too. In Rochdale, a youth worker made over 100 referrals about girls being abused. She was ignored. The girls were written off as making lifestyle choices, a problem to file away, not children to save. Door two. Locked.

The prosecutors. In Rochdale, 2009, the CPS dropped her case. Not a credible witness, they said. The men walked free, convicted only years later once someone else overturned it. That service was run, at the top, by Keir Starmer, 2008 to 2013. He later admitted the ethnicity of the abusers had played a role in how those cases were handled. Door three. Shut.

The council. In Rotherham, where 1,400 children were raped and trafficked, the council was his party's. 57 of 63 seats. In denial. Not fit for purpose. It tried to gag a journalist. An inspector found a case file with the word Pakistani tippexed out, so nobody could see the pattern. Door four. Bolted.

The mayor. In Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham commissioned a review. The Rochdale whistleblower Maggie Oliver called it a whitewash and walked away, saying survivors were silenced. Door five. Closed.

The government. When Oldham begged for a national inquiry, minister Jess Phillips refused it. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper waved it off, we'd already had one and Starmer resisted a statutory inquiry until an audit forced his hand, announcing it two days before the report landed. Only when cornered. Door six. Slammed in her face.

Now see it for what it is.

Not one failure. A WALL. Six locked doors, one after another, built around a child so she could never get out.

They ask why the girls didn't just speak up. They did. Over and over. This is why so few were ever heard. Not because they stayed silent. Because every door they knocked on was locked from the other side.

It wasn't one town. That same wall stood across 149 local authority areas. 149.

Here's the part that should stop you cold. Not one of the people behind those doors was punished. Every single one was promoted.

Starmer ran the prosecutors. Now he's Prime Minister. David Lammy, who warned against pandering to the far-right over these gangs and said naming the pattern condemned a whole community, is now Deputy PM and Justice Secretary. Yvette Cooper, who rejected the inquiry, made Foreign Secretary. Andy Burnham, whose review was called a whitewash, now the favourite to be the next Prime Minister.

The wall didn't fall. It got promoted.

So today Carla Lockhart handed Starmer a mirror. She asked the man who sat at the top of that wall to investigate it and he thanked her for her courage, and moved on.

That's the tell. Not a man who wants the truth found. A man who already knows where it leads.

So when he swears the inquiry will go wherever the evidence takes it, ask the one question that matters.

What happens when it leads back to the people now holding it.

That's not a man opening a door for these girls. That's the men who built the wall, handing themselves the only key.

Reformers,

We are moving through hostile terrain.

The left-wing press is spreading lies about us.

The so-called right-wing press is doing the same, because it is an arm of the Tory party.

Failed Tories are trying to infiltrate us and destroy our agenda from within.

Hold the line.

As a startup party, we have already made history and smashed the two-party system.

We will not back down.

We will defeat the uniparty and break the establishment that has failed and betrayed the British people.

@Nigel_Farage will be our Prime Minister, supported by a majority of turquoise-blooded Reform MPs.

A brighter future awaits Britain. 🇬🇧

The British people will NOT tolerate an unelected Prime Minister

Say NO to Andy Burnham

GENERAL ELECTION NOW!!! 🗳️🗳️

[David Shaw @David90shaw]

🚨 YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO READ THIS TO BELIEVE IT.

If you own a home, have a pension, or plan to leave an inheritance, Andy Burnham's leaked economic plans should terrify you. 🤡

He is planning to scrap the capital gains tax "uplift on death," meaning grieving families will be hit with double tax bills on inherited family homes.

Begbies Chartered Accountants confirmed this double levy will hit grieving families with an effective 62% tax rate!

But it gets even worse.

Burnham wants to replace council tax with a new annual property tax of 0.48% of your home's value.

If you live in an average £553,000 house, you will be forced to pay £2,654 every single year just for the privilege of living in your own home!

They want to tax you while you live, tax you when you die, and tax your children for mourning you.

RT to expose the ultimate Labour wealth grab and demand a general election NOW! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

No, no, no!!
You don't get to apologise for a poorly judged Tweet.

Its a serious criminal offence, now known to be a Cat 1A charge.

Straight to prison with you, NO BAIL, no mitigation!

I didn't make the rules! 🤷‍♀️

@bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk Teacher numbers are down

[ENT - Education Not Taxation @EducationNotTax]

For two years, parents, schools and campaigners have been accused of "scaremongering".

For two years, @bphillipsonMP has responded to concerns by saying she "does not accept" the evidence.

Today we publish a report comparing what Ministers said would happen with what has actually happened.

The evidence is not "chatter".
It is official Government data.

Read the report:
