After Henry Nowak Tragedy, Peter Hitchens Makes Controversial Call to Abolish Britain’s Entire Police Force and Start Again

“I have to say it’s been a long time since I’ve thought or imagined for a moment that I would ever say, “Oh, great. The police have arrived.” It’s astounding to me how long it has taken our society to notice the disaster which has happened to the police.”

Hitchens, a long-time critic of Britain’s broken policing system, doesn’t mince words on the solution:

“My position has been now for some time… The only thing we can do now is to create a new police force on sound principles and train it and as soon as it’s ready abolish and dismiss all the existing police forces which are totally useless and could not by any effort or any will of man be turned into anything that was useful. They all need to go off and do something else.”

This isn’t the left-wing ‘defund the police’ idea. It’s a conservative call to scrap the broken system and start again from scratch, end two-tier policing and go back to the original basics of good policing: preventing crime before it happens, having officers who are part of the local community, and policing that ordinary people actually support.

Reed chief executive James Reed says the high cost of hiring young people is to blame for plummeting entry level jobs.

"The cost of hiring a 21 year-old 40 hours a week in 2016 was £15,333, now it would cost the same employer £29,654 so it has gone up 93%"

What a disgusting piece of human trash he is
How can he live with himself

The new Danish government is cutting the corporation tax rate from 22% to 19% over three years, and eliminating income tax bands for the highest earners.

“It is crucial that Denmark remains competitive,” Prime Minister Frederiksen said.

It's sad that the British government does not have a similar attitude.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

These leaked messages prove that even the Prime Minister’s right hand man doesn’t think the Chancellor is capable of growing the economy.

It doesn't matter if it's Starmer or Burnham running the show, the problem is the Labour Party.

[Warren Bennett @WLBennett]

That’s any potential leadership pitch gone.

If Burnham doesn’t win the by election it’s hard to see anyone being able to mount a challenge.

FLASHBACK: Darren Jones Denied Sending ���Warm Message’ to Mandelson Two Weeks Ago https://t.co/v0w89mSxmE

Shabana Mahmood has CONDEMNED the Henry Nowak protests in Southampton, saying those responsible will be arrested.

Meanwhile, here she is on a pro-Palestine protest which turned violent and forced a supermarket to close.

She has since deleted this video. Please don't RT it.

[Warren Bennett @WLBennett]

Do any of them tell the truth?

[Laura Kuenssberg @bbclaurak]

Missing Mandelson messages from minister Darren Jones revealed https://t.co/QbJ3vu1mEZ - this is what he said to us about those ‘warm messages’ a few weeks ago 👇🏼

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

The big question in all of this is why were these messages between Darren Jones and Peter Mandelson not released on Monday alongside all the other Humble Address documents?

The Humble Address is clear that "electronic communications… between Lord Mandelson and ministers… during his time as Ambassador" must be released to Parliament - that is exactly what these messages between Darren Jones and Peter Mandelson are.

The Cabinet Office, which Darren Jones is in charge of, oversees this process, and it is beginning to look as though that department cannot be trusted to make politically sensitive decisions.

In my mind, we now need an independent third party, not subject to the pressures of the Government, to review this matter.

The most natural option would be for the National Audit Office to look at this. When I was chair of the Public Accounts Committee, the NAO had access to every single document in government no matter how highly classified.

The NAO could review the information and documents the Government holds and provide reassurance that the demands of the Humble Address are being properly complied with.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.

They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.

They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.

They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.

We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.

Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.

Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.

I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.

That is my focus now.

[Warren Bennett @WLBennett]

And all those private schools closed with a devastating impact on families.

[Laura Trott MP @LauraTrottMP]

Labour promised 6,500 new teachers. Today we learned that there are 1,900 FEWER teachers. It turns out Keir Starmer’s approach to promises is the same as he does with his messages - auto delete.

[Warren Bennett @WLBennett]

On all these messages there’s a clear internal frustration that the public and business feels.

Time for the government to get its act together and start to get the country moving. More growth, less tax and some bloody common sense!

[Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound]

EXCLUSIVE: Darren Jones
🔥 praised Mandelson the day he was fired
🔥was rude about Reeves
🔥took several swipes at Jonny Reynolds
🔥bemoaned the influence of the trade unions
BUT none of these messages made it into the public disclosure on Monday. Fancy that! https://t.co/BFIKlQR2Gt

🇪🇺🇨🇳 The European Union's share of the global economy has fallen from 30% to 17% in just 17 years.

That's roughly the same relative decline China experienced during the Qing Dynasty.

The difference?

China took about 50 years.

Europe did it in 17.

For decades, Europe helped shape the global economy, global institutions, and the rules of the international order.

Now it's increasingly adapting to a world being shaped by others.

The real question is whether Europe still knows how to stop it.

Absolutely bloody told you so

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

The focus of debate around Henry Nowak's murder is turning to this document by the National Police Chiefs Council - its 'Anti-Racism Strategy', from 2025.

It states:

"Producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances and experiences...

"It does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’ (racial equality)."

Kemi Badenoch says it is "virtue signalling" and should be scrapped. Reform UK calls it 'two-tier policing'.

A source close to the Home Secretary says the wording is "clumsy".

Tonight, the NPCC says it is already reviewing the language and willing to amend it. But it stands by the principle of the document.
