@JoelWBerry @philpickett Keir Starmer clearly prefers a Palestinian flag to the Union, Scottish and Irish flags being waved elsewhere. He said so.
God save us from this government

🚨BOMBSHELL EXPOSÉ: TREVOR PHILLIPS RIPS LID OFF LABOUR'S GROOMING GANGS COVER-UP 💣

Keir Starmer and the Labour Party Sabotaging National Inquiry to Hide Racial Targeting of White Girls and Decades of Failure in Their Own Councils

In a devastating intervention, Sir Trevor Phillips has blown the whistle on what he calls a deliberate political cover-up at the heart of Britain's grooming gangs scandal.

The former Equality and Human Rights Commission chair accuses Labour of sabotaging the national inquiry because of its explosive racial implications — and because so much of the abuse took place under Labour-controlled councils that did nothing to stop it.

“The government clearly never wanted these two things to be put together,” Phillips declared. He points to Labour's efforts to downplay “the intersection of race and sexual predation,” insisting the perpetrators deliberately targeted victims because they were white and outside the groomers' community.

“These children are chosen because of their race. They are chosen because they are white and because they’re outside the community of the groomers.”

Phillips highlights the chilling uniqueness of these crimes: unlike typical child abuse kept hidden, grooming gangs operate in plain sight — with perpetrators knowing they are shielded.

“The other thing is these people know that they are protected. They’re protected politically, they’re protected by social workers, they’re protected by local police. That is the scandal here.”

He pulls no punches on why a full reckoning has been avoided: “Much of this took place in local Labour councils and the authorities who were supposed to be watching over this, stopping it, monitoring it and all the rest of it were controlled by those councils and they did nothing.”

This is not just institutional failure — it's a politically motivated shield thrown over horrific, racially aggravated sexual exploitation that went on for years under Labour's watch.

Right now, they deserve justice — and Britain deserves the full, fearless national inquiry that has been denied for far too long.

I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.'

Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others?

I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue.

When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.'

Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.

@nihhilly @afneil Rewarding, I would think. Envy is such a bad look.

At a time when Labour should be standing back and leaving Reform and Tories to knock lumps out of each other Labour ministers brief journos that Starmer should sack Streeting for disloyalty.
They give the Gang who couldn’t Shoot Straight a bad name. The standard of poltico on both sides of the House is at an historic low but Labour backbenchers are thicker than the year Jack Thick McThick won the Thick Man of the year competition. Otherwise why wouldn’t you just let Reform and the Tories stew in their own juice.

@philpickett We were pioneers. Millions of Europeans held on to a dream that became the opposite of their hopes. No they know. What took them so long ?

@JoernRasmussen @JohnCleese And what was that Nobel Peace Prize for ? Where exactly was that Red Line in Syria ? A vacuum in a sharp suit.

After the most expensive inquiry in history they can say with certainty that if lockdown was enforced 7 days earlier many 1000s of people would not have died of COVID. Do they have the figures for lockdown 11/13days earlier? They must know the date when everyone would have lived

As the property market continues to be paralysed by this government’s scattershot tax rumours might I suggest estate agents that really know their way around the system. Rayner & Reeves are a London and Hove agency you can trust.

We must never forget the ‘progressive’ silence on the Israeli hostages. Celebrities ignored their plight. Feminists said nothing about the women abducted by Hamas. No footballers took the knee. What a shameful betrayal of the Jews, says Brendan O’Neill

Addendum for Labour conference in Liverpool: Andy Burnham proposes a £40bn national council house building programme, using borrowed money (naturally). As Manchester Mayor in May 2024 he launched a plan to build 10,000 council houses in his area. So far he’s managed to start work on 10. Yes 10.
