Islamic terrorists in NIgeria just kidnapped the wife of Pastor Moses Guguma - and their three young children.

You won't hear about any of this from mainstream media because the widespread persecution and slaughter of Christians by Islamists is a subject they will not touch.

Over the past three decades, Labour and the Tories have imported tens of millions of people to Britain.

They told us it was necessary for economic growth. 

To pay for our pensions. 

To do the jobs ‘Brits wouldn't do’.

But the data tells a completely different story.

48% of social housing in London is headed by someone born overseas.

This costs the taxpayer £3.6 BILLION a year in rent discounts alone.

What's more, 35% of working age social housing tenants born overseas are unemployed - and yet still receive free accommodation in some of the most desirable postcodes on earth.

Almost a quarter of housing in London is social housing. That includes 28% in Westminster, and 42% in Islington.

Think of what we’ve lost.

The careers, relationships, and families that never got off the ground, all because our political elite took housing that should have been available to Brits and handed it to foreign nationals instead.

The British people have been made second-tier citizens in their own country.

ENOUGH.

Under a Reform government, foreign nationals living in social housing will fail our economic test and will be deported.

As I asked @Channel4News FactCheck team team last night when they explained their inability to broadcast updates on the murder of Ann Widdecombe or speculate on the suspect's politics for fear of swaying a jury, while they themselves broadcast that the 12 arrested in the supposed plan to attack an Islamic event in Suffolk were ‘far-right’. Why is the presumed politics of one broadcastable, but the presumed politics of another subject to contempt of court?

Four men are in custody. £44 million is missing. And the woman who oversaw it all just got promoted to Energy Secretary.

This is not politics. This is not incompetence. This is institutional decay wearing a ministerial red box. Miatta Fahnbulleh has failed upward through every level of British public life, leaving wreckage at each step, and now she holds your energy security in her hands while the Serious Fraud Office investigates the last scheme she touched.

Stop calling it governance. Start seeing it for what it is: a protection racket where the connected destroy, confess, and climb.

THE ARRESTS

April 2026. The Serious Fraud Office raided offices across England. Four arrests. Three companies Warmfront, JJ Crump, South Coast Insulation Services accused of stealing £44 million from the ECO4 scheme. Falsified claims. Ghost installations. Vulnerable families left with damaged homes while contractors pocketed taxpayer cash.

Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown called it what it was: a "charlatan's charter."

Fahnbulleh didn't inherit this mess. She owned it. As Energy Consumer Minister, she was responsible for oversight. She admitted to Parliament it was "systemic failure" her own words after 30,000 homes had already been botched. After thousands of fraudulent claims had already been processed. After the damage was done.

She promised monitoring. She promised repair. She promised Ofgem would contact victims.

Then the SFO moved in.

In any functioning society, a minister whose scheme triggered a £44 million fraud investigation would be finished. In Britain 2026, she gets promoted.

THE PEDIGREE

To understand how we got here, follow the bloodline.

Miatta Fahnbulleh was born in Monrovia, Liberia, in 1979. Her father, Henry Boimah Fahnbulleh Jr., served as Foreign Minister to Samuel Doe the military dictator who seized power in a 1980 coup, executed the sitting president, and presided over mass killings and torture. Dad wasn't a prisoner. He was the regime's top diplomat for three years.

Her brother? Named Gamal after Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Egyptian revolutionary who overthrew a monarchy and nationalized industries.

Her grandfather? Convicted of treason in 1968 for plotting to overthrow the Liberian government.

The pattern is not subtle. This is a family that serves regimes, plots revolutions, and names its children after insurrectionists. When the Doe regime turned on them in 1986, they fled to England and claimed asylum. The British state saved them. Forty years later, the daughter of a dictator's minister controls Britain's energy supply.

She attended Beechwood Sacred Heart School fee-paying, Catholic, elite. Then Oxford. Then LSE. The socialist who demands wealth taxes enjoyed private education while prescribing comprehensive schooling for your children.

But the credentials aren't the point. The ideology is.

She calls herself a "heterodox economist." This is not modesty. It is a warning. She explicitly rejects free market economics. She embraces state intervention, public ownership, and radical redistribution. In 2019, she wrote in Foreign Affairs that Britain should hit Net Zero by 2034 eleven years to decarbonize an entire economy funded by "wealth taxes and extra borrowing."

The Spectator was kind. They called it "posturing." It was delusion.

As CEO of the New Economics Foundation described by critics as "far Left" and "anti-growth" she proposed a "rising block tariff" that would punish larger families and people with bigger homes. Industry sources called it "a truly, truly dreadful idea." Claire Coutinho, Shadow Energy Secretary, said Fahnbulleh had "drunk even more of the green lobby Kool-Aid than Ed Miliband."

This is the woman now setting your energy bills.

THE PATTERN

Everywhere Fahnbulleh goes, systems collapse.

The Constituency Ghost. Elected MP for Peckham in July 2024. Failed to open a constituency office for over a year. No surgeries. No face-to-face access. She blamed her £39,560 IPSA budget and "security prerequisites." Every other MP manages these constraints. She was too busy being a minister. Too busy plotting. The people of Peckham were an afterthought.

The Winter Fuel Betrayal. September 2024. She voted to end universal winter fuel payments for pensioners. Previously, all elderly households received £200–£300 for energy bills. The new policy restricted payments to those on Pension Credit anyone earning over £218.15 per week was cut off.

She voted for this in Peckham. One of London's most deprived areas. Sixty-four thousand elderly people in fuel poverty, represented by an MP who called the cut "tough" while drawing her ministerial salary.

The Company. FAHNBULLEH LIMITED. Company number 07906000. Dissolved. She was director of a private company that vanished into the registry with no transparency, no explanation, no accountability. Just another shell in the portfolio of a woman who demands public ownership while obscuring her own financial interests.

The Hypocrisy. January 2026. Nigel Farage raised concerns about illegal working in Turkish barbershops businesses that were literally being raided by immigration enforcement. Fahnbulleh accused him of "dog-whistle racism." The facts didn't matter. The optics did. This is her method: cry racism, ignore reality, advance the career.

THE BLADE

May 12, 2025. The day she showed her truest self.

Fahnbulleh resigned from the government. Not over policy. Not over principle. She resigned to trigger a leadership crisis.

She stood before cameras and demanded Starmer set a timetable for an "orderly transition." She said Labour had not governed with the "vision, pace and ambition that our mandate for change demands of us." She criticized the Prime Minister for "decisions that have eroded public trust."

The statement was devastating because it was public. Calculated. Premeditated. Politico reported she "kick-started the rebellion that eventually brought him down." She fired the starting gun on Starmer's collapse.

Then came the rehabilitation. Six weeks later, Andy Burnham her ally, her patron appointed her Housing Minister. July 2026, she was promoted to Energy Secretary. The woman who destroyed the last leader was rewarded with one of the great offices of state.

This is not loyalty. This is not conviction. This is careerism so naked it should be indecent.

THE NETWORK

She is not alone. She is the product of a machine.

The New Economics Foundation is part of the Fabian ecosystem. She contributed to Fabian Society publications, co-writing "The economic alternative" with Alfie Stirling in 2019. It called for transforming institutions to deliver a Green New Deal. It demanded state intervention in markets.

The Fabian method is "permeation" inserting socialist ideas into every institution until they become the unquestioned default. She is the permeation made flesh.

She is also the protégé of Ed Miliband. She served as his economics adviser during his failed leadership. Described as the "brains" behind his agenda. Now she serves under him again two failures propping each other up while the country pays the price.

Guido Fawkes compiled her actual policy demands: wealth taxes, mass nationalisation of land/transport/energy, extending national insurance to investment income, caps on interest rates. This is not regulation. This is confiscation.

The Scottish Tories know it. In July 2026, they wrote demanding she scrap the windfall tax and ditch Net Zero 2034, calling it "strategically mad." Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce demanded a "fresh approach" and approval for Jackdaw and Rosebank oil projects.

She refused. She will always refuse. Because she does not serve the national interest. She serves an ideology.

THE CONVERGENCE

Now the threads meet.

The daughter of a dictator's minister whose brother is named after a revolutionary, whose grandfather was convicted of treason now controls Britain's energy security.

The "heterodox economist" who rejects markets now sets market policy.

The minister who admitted "systemic failure" while 30,000 families lived with botched insulation now oversees the entire sector.

The woman whose scheme triggered a £44 million SFO investigation now holds the red box.

The MP who voted to strip winter fuel from pensioners in one of London's poorest constituencies now decides your winter heating costs.

The traitor who triggered Starmer's downfall now sits in Cabinet.

This is not coincidence. This is design. The British state is being captured by a network of ideologues who failed upward through institutional decay, who mistake their credentials for competence and their connections for mandate.

THE QUESTION

The father served a dictator who executed his predecessor.

The daughter serves an ideology that would dismantle the economy that rescued her.

Both are dangerous. Both leave wreckage.

The SFO investigation is ongoing. The £44 million is gone. The botched insulation remains in 30,000 homes. The pensioners still shiver.

And Miatta Fahnbulleh dissolved company director, constituency ghost, heterodox zealot, regicide now controls your energy security.

The question is not who she is.

The question is: how much more does she have to destroy before the system stops rewarding her?

Douglas Murray asks why Mahmood and Starmer lauded the arrest of twelve individuals, linking them to an anti-Muslim 9/11- style plot in Suffolk, but demanded silence about the reasons why Ann Widdecombe was murdered, and by whom.
They clearly wished to bury disturbing and inconvenient news while running away with an invented story about 12 drone enthusiasts who were soon released without charge.

'I have to ask two things. First, it seemed to me when the Suffolk story broke that it was a little too convenient. A prominent anti-open-borders Reform spokeswoman had been beaten to death in her home. Strong sentiments were flowing. And then, as if to remind us that all sides and anyone can do something bad, along comes a ‘far-right extremism, anti-Muslim terror plot’ story, displayed on the BBC’s website alongside updates on the Widdecombe case. Why? And how did the police and the top of government get this so terribly wrong?

The second thing I have to ask...is: what is the difference in prejudicing a fair trial when it comes to the Widdecombe case and when it comes to the Suffolk ‘far-right, Islamophobic, mass-casualty terror event’ that wasn’t? Someone explain it, please?'

Update: The charges against the white man who was assaulted have been dropped.

The two black men who attacked him have been let off with a slap on the wrist.

And the police are still in denial.

Even after the footage went viral - and clearly absolved Harper of wrongdoing - they still pursued him, passing evidence to the CPS several days later.

Meanwhile the young lads who assaulted him have been given out of court disposals.

Will the Home Secretary now comment on the case?

Will she finally acknowledge two-tier policing and rid forces of training and guidance that direct officers to treat people differently?

We desperately need to restore equality before the law.

Only Reform will fix it.

Chris Packham went on Gogglebox last week, watched the cartoon at the start of Clarkson's Farm, and announced that most farms are horrible monocultures sprayed with deadly chemicals, the ground pumped full of fertiliser, the animals indoors in crates being crushed and kept in the dark.

A cartoon. Not a farm, not a documentary. The little illustrated title sequence.

Clarkson replied in his Sun column and it is the best two hundred words he has written in years. He called Packham endlessly angry. He noted that the man had erupted in blind fury at the Winnie the Pooh-ish opening credits of a television programme. He pointed out, patiently, that it was a drawing.

Then he dropped the actual grenade.

Packham has been to Diddly Squat. In 2012. He drove there, on purpose, to look at the birds and do a bit of foraging.

Sit with that one.

The naturalist who tells a primetime audience that British farms are lifeless, poisoned industrial monocultures once picked a British farm as the place to go and enjoy the wildlife. And to gather food off the ground. Voluntarily. For pleasure.

If the fields are sprayed dead, what were the birds doing there.

And if the animals were indoors in crates in the dark, you would think he might have raised it at the time, rather than waiting fourteen years and bringing it up on a sofa while looking at a cartoon.

He has doubled down on Instagram since, with a graphic about glyphosate and pig housing, asking whether it is really all happy smiley down on the farm. Which is a fair question to put to a farm. It is a strange question to put to an illustration.

Here is the part that should genuinely annoy people.

Clarkson's Farm has explained British agriculture to the British public better than every campaign, report and documentary of the last twenty years put together. Subsidies, weather, supermarket margins, the lot.

Packham had the platform to join that conversation.

He used it to lose an argument with the title sequence.
