BREAKING: The Speaker of the House of Commons was furious to hear that the Government’s long awaited Defence Review is planned to be snuck out on a Friday when the House isn’t sitting.
This can only herald bad news for our nation’s defence.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle has long been a powerful advocate for the Armed Forces from the first day he entered Parliament.
He said he would be "appalled" to see the plan announced without a statement to the Commons first and makes a direct appeal to No10: "That would be an utter disgrace and an utter kick in the face to members of this House.”
It would also be the highest breach of standing orders and an act of cowardice.

David Lammy wants to appoint more judges based on their racial and religious identities.

Now he’s appointing a woke ally to run the Judicial Appointments Commission.

She says equality is “not about treating everyone the same”.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

This is the woman David Lammy wants to choose our judges.

She says merit alone should NOT determine judicial appointments.

“Merit is crucial but so is a focus on diversity."

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Brilliant news for all the legal assistants in work and in training.

Rather than hire more of you, Lammy wants courts to use AI instead.

Just think … we'll lead the world in AI replacement.

YEY. WINNING 🤡

The Trump administration is not turning a blind eye to the crimes Keir Starmer’s government is committing against the British people.

People have been banned from entering the UK for far less than what Trump’s Vice President JD Vance has said.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this corrupt UK government now tries to ban President Trump and his entire administration for life from Britain.

This is how desperate and authoritarian Starmer’s regime has become — silencing its own citizens while panicking at any external criticism.

Two-tier Britain is terrified of the truth.

OXFAM HAD FIVE TIMES MORE FRAUD INVESTIGATORS THAN SAFEGUARDING STAFF. WONDER WHY.

Helen Evans was brought into Oxfam @oxfamgb in 2012 with one job: stop the sexual exploitation of vulnerable people by the charity's own staff.

She was handed the title of Global Head of Safeguarding. She was not handed the resources to do it.

By 2014 she had run internal surveys. Ten percent of staff reported witnessing or experiencing sexual abuse at the hands of Oxfam employees.

Seven percent in one country reported rape.

She compiled a report and tried to present it to senior leadership. She was blocked.

Here is a detail worth a pause. Oxfam had five times more staff dedicated to investigating financial fraud than to protecting people from sexual abuse. Fraud. Five times. The money mattered more.

What she had uncovered was that after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, senior Oxfam staff turned a charity-rented villa into a makeshift brothel.

The country director at the time, Roland van Hauwermeiren, was accused of paying for sex with women who were wearing Oxfam branded T-shirts.

Aid workers using the charity's logo as a costume. That is what was being protected.

Evans raised concerns. Management conducted a strategic review. She resigned in frustration in 2015. She then went to the Charity Commission @ChtyCommission.

They had limited email exchanges with her, stopped replying, and declined to meet her. A regulator choosing not to regulate.

In February 2018 the @thetimes finally broke the story. Evans went on @Channel4News and said everything she had been trying to say for six years.

Two parliamentary inquiries were launched. The Charity Commission launched a statutory investigation. Oxfam withdrew from government funding worth nearly 21 million pounds.

The charity that sent people to help the world's most vulnerable had been preying on them. The woman hired to stop it had tried for years.

She was awarded the 2018 Middlesex University Whistleblower Award for her trouble.

The sector called it a turning point. The same sector that took sixteen years to act on west Africa sex-for-aid allegations that first surfaced in 2002.

Henry Nowak:
→ Unarmed. Walking home.
→ Stabbed 5 times by a man legally carrying 2 blades
→ Handcuffed while dying by officers who didn’t believe him
→ Officially named as the aggressor — until his family forced a retraction

And the government’s response to the public anger that followed?

Warnings about “misinformation.”

This is why we’re in year three of national disorder planning.

The public isn’t the problem.

The refusal to be honest with them is.

Are you aware of threats and acts of violence coming from radical Muslims ?

If so, why are you scared of talking about it ?

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

More prisoners have been released in error under Labour than ever before.

David Lammy promised the “strongest ever checks.”

They promised victims would be told whenever prisoners were mistakenly released.

Both promises have been broken. https://t.co/mgJkFB2t8E

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

Shockat Adam MP is complaining that the government doesn't listen to Muslims. While being a Member of Parliament. While being part of the government. The victimhood is theatrical, the hypocrisy is staggering, and the reality is that his "community concerns" include weekly Palestine hate marches, vigils for terrorists, and the industrial-scale rape of white working-class girls by predominantly Pakistani grooming gangs that his party protected for decades.

He wants to talk about neglect? The British people have been neglected while his community's concerns took centre stage. Ramadan is now a national extravaganza bigger than Christmas. The Union Jack is replaced with Palestinian flags. And he has the audacity to claim victimhood from his position of power.

The British people are done listening to MPs who cheerlead for Hamas while claiming oppression. Done with the false narrative of Muslim victimhood while the real victims of grooming gangs are silenced. Done with the flags of terrorist states being waved in British streets.

Shockat, you are not a victim. You are an MP. Act like one, or step aside for someone who actually serves Britain.
