Britain's own MPs are now asking the questions the Home Office keeps avoiding. On 28 October Labour's Rachel Blake, from the government's own benches, asked the Home Secretary whether she has assessed how the Terrorism Act 2000 applies to the Muslim Brotherhood and reviewed its activity with Cabinet colleagues. Two days later Nick Timothy asked what checks stop Brotherhood affiliates from acting as sponsors on the route that lets community groups bring a named refugee to Britain. In June, the prisons answer said it all: membership of specific organisations is "not routinely recorded". Not banned, not counted, and now not clearly vetted either. The answers are due this week. I will be reading every word. BTW, the Muslim Brotherhood is banned in the UAE.

Ireland sent fourteen MEPs to the European Parliament, and on 8 October only seven of them could vote for a resolution asking Europe to face the Muslim Brotherhood network, its front groups, its youth arms and the EU money that reaches them. Five voted against, both Sinn Féin MEPs, Labour's Aodhán Ó Ríordáin and the independents Luke Flanagan and Michael McNamara, and two did not vote at all. Back home, the Brotherhood is under no suppression order, and as Deputy Carol Nolan reads the Justice Minister's own answer, it stays free to recruit and raise money unless someone proves it is for terrorism. Half a delegation, no ban, and a network that loves exactly that kind of gap. Dublin, which half are you? BTW, the Muslim Brotherhood is banned in the UAE.

12 people now indicted in Michigan for a campaign of terror against Jews and anyone tied to Israel. Jars of noxious chemicals thrown into family homes. Windows smashed. Homes marked with red inverted triangles, the symbol Hamas uses to mark targets for death. One allegedly threatened to slowly poison a victim once he became a doctor. Targets: the Jewish Federation of Detroit, UM regents, a campus cop, a student. This was never a "protest movement." It's Hamas tactics on American streets. apnews.com/article/activists…

🚨 ISLAMIC BLASPHEMY LAW BY THE BACK DOOR 🚨 Kellie-Jay Keen (@ThePosieParker) has been charged with a criminal offence over posts criticising Islam, Muslim cultural practices and Islamism. The Free Speech Union is proud to be defending her. In a free society, no religion or cultural practice should be immune from criticism. Since Labour came to power, the number of FSU cases involving people penalised for criticising Islam has doubled. It is now the single biggest category in our casework. And now, with a state-approved definition of Islamophobia — rebranded as “anti-Muslim hostility” — things are only getting worse. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Communities Secretary Angela Rayner met Muslim community leaders in Downing Street. Burnham took a swipe at critics of Islam, saying “some of the language” opposition parties use “is unacceptable”, and told the leaders “we need to find ways with you to demonstrate that more and more”. We now await Rayner’s appointment of an “Islamophobia tsar” who will help enforce the definition. All five hand-picked members of the Working Group that drafted it have concerning links to Islamist organisations, as FSU Research and Policy Director @DavidRoseUK exposed in his report. We have little hope that the appointed tsar will be good news for free speech. Meanwhile, the Government is refusing to say who submitted responses to the Working Group, so we cannot know which groups shaped the definition. Islamists may well have had a hand in its drafting.
