The UK *nominated* Iran to join this committee.
Why @Ed_Miliband? Is this what you shook hands over?
Before the day ends, I’d just like to pause to remember great-uncle John Whyte, of Eastfield, Cumbernauld, who served in the Pioneer Corps in WW2.
Johnny survived Dunkirk, and almost made it through to the end.
He was killed crossing the Rhine in March 1945.
Still remembered.

So @andyburnham’s thought police are going to ban music access, online trading, & Lego, for under 16s!
Who do these people think they are?
Are we to be allowed any latitude in how we live our tax ridden lives?

- Alexander Stubb:
" I think we need to make clear to the Russians and everyone else that there are a few things that are completely off the table in these negotiations.
One is EU membership. It is not Russia who decides on EU membership. It is the European Union who does that.
Two is NATO. It is not Russia that decides on NATO membership. It is the Alliance itself.
Three is Ukrainian defence. It is not Russia that decides on what Ukraine has by its border, when, where, and how.
And four: European security arrangements ... or order. It’s not Russia that decides on that. We already have a European security order and should stick to it."

It should be clear enough! 🤷♀️
He is one of the strong leaders.😉

The truth always finds a way out.
The Hamas filth still oppressing their own people just to further the agenda of their Iranian despot masters.
🚨URGENT: Hamas militias in Gaza barred engineer Ahmed Al-Talouli from working with the Palestinian Ministry of Public Works and Housing to help provide tents for displaced families during the winter storm.
They forced him to sign a pledge not to carry out any ministry-related work in Gaza. After being threatened today, he deleted his post.
The Palestinian Authority, through its Ministry of Public Works and Housing and in partnership with UNDP, launched a project to establish camps using durable fiberglass shelter units. Yet just one day before the rainstorm, Hamas arrested the ministry’s engineers and crews, forced them to sign pledges not to work in Gaza except through Hamas, and confiscated the tents.
Hamas is not only failing to help Gaza’s people face the winter storm; it is actively preventing others from helping them.
This story has been completely ignored by pro-Palestinian activists and media in the West. Because Hamas is responsible for this abuse, they have chosen to stay silent.

@andyburnham
643 people sent me a DM yesterday about my post exposing how Andy Burnham’s Manchester council machine secretly intercepts emails from the public.
I believe this new revelation is going to trigger an even bigger shockwave.
Manchester City Council is currently fighting tooth and nail to keep a massive urban regeneration contract hidden from taxpayers.
The corporate partner is a Hong Kong-based developer called Far East Consortium. The funding is a staggering £120 million of public money, including £34.1 million handed over directly by Burnham’s combined authority.
Here is the specific detail that exposes the absolute arrogance of the modern political class.
When a local resident filed a request to read the document, the Chinese developer actually consented to its publication. It was the British council that intervened, heavily redacted the contract, and officially branded the taxpayer’s request for basic transparency as "manifestly unreasonable."
We are operating in a geopolitical environment where foreign powers routinely use infrastructure and property investment to build leverage inside Western cities.
Yet local Labour authorities are handing nine-figure sums of public wealth to Chinese-linked conglomerates, while deploying the full weight of their legal departments to keep British citizens in the dark.
They are perfectly comfortable outsourcing the regeneration of a major UK city to foreign capital. They are just terrified of the people funding the project ever seeing the actual terms.

Replying to @AtlantaBlue
"The US state department has told its embassies across Europe, including London, to report migrant crime, track how governments handle it, and raise concerns when they fail. That is what nations do when an ally becomes weak, compromised or unwilling to defend itself. You don't rely on its assurances. You verify. You watch. You intervene if you must."
The US Is Now Monitoring Britain Like a Failing State
America has just delivered the bluntest verdict on modern Britain: the United States no longer trusts this country to police its borders, protect its people or face the truth about migrant crime. Washington has ordered its diplomats to monitor Britain the way great powers monitor unstable nations – a quiet but devastating admission that Britain is now a liability, not a partner.
The US state department has told its embassies across Europe, including London, to report migrant crime, track how governments handle it, and raise concerns when they fail. That is what nations do when an ally becomes weak, compromised or unwilling to defend itself. You don't rely on its assurances. You verify. You watch. You intervene if you must.
And America has every reason. Britain's border is no longer a barrier; it is an intake pipe. The country has spent twenty years importing problems faster than it can name them, let alone confront them. Washington has seen the grooming-gang cover-ups, the blocked deportations, the asylum farce, the courts that protect offenders while leaving the public exposed. They've watched Britain's political class treat national security as an afterthought and public concern as a moral failing. Now they are acting because Britain refuses to.
Even the language coming out of Washington is a shock. The US calls mass migration an existential threat to Western civilisation. While Starmer's ministers mumble about "compassion" and "pathways," America spells out the truth: the West is being hollowed from within, and Britain is the softest point of entry.
And that is the humiliation. For the first time in living memory, America is speaking about Britain the way it speaks about failing states – nations that can no longer enforce their own laws, control their own borders or protect their own people. Nations that have surrendered the basic duties of sovereignty.
It is a verdict on Starmer, but also on the rotten consensus he inherited. The Home Office can't deport foreign criminals. The courts block removals. NGOs lawyer the system into paralysis. Ministers talk tough and act weak. And as the consequences mount, Westminster hides behind euphemisms and press releases.
America isn't "interfering." It's bracing for the fallout. If Britain won't protect itself, Washington will protect itself from Britain. That is how low we've sunk.
The tragedy is that the Americans are right. Britain no longer behaves like a nation that intends to survive. Our governing class clings to an ideology that treats control as cruelty and national interest as taboo. Meanwhile the country absorbs the real-world cost: fractured streets, rising crime, a fraying social fabric, and a public left to fend for itself.
When your greatest ally starts monitoring you because it no longer trusts your judgement, it means one thing: the decline is visible from across an ocean.
This is the warning. America has sounded it. Britain's leaders choose not to hear it. And unless the public forces a reckoning, the next verdict won't come from Washington, it will come from events at home.
"They've watched Britain's political class treat national security as an afterthought and public concern as a moral failing. Now they are acting because Britain refuses to."
The reality revealed
Hope the clown Miliband reads it.
REVEALED: The scandal surrounding Gaza's failed winterization efforts lays bare a grim reality: Hamas obstructed attempts to protect Palestinian civilians before the devastating winter storms that flooded tens of thousands of tents.
Palestinian Authority employees inside Gaza have reported that professionals from the Ministries of Public Works and Relief Affairs were intimidated, summoned, and coerced by Hamas into signing pledges not to undertake humanitarian projects without the group's approval. According to their accounts, those who defied Hamas risked so-called "field justice," including beatings and worse.
Several officials, including Najla Hammad, Ihab Al-Bahtiti, Khaled Abu Safiya, Wiam Aboul-Nasr, Dr. Adnan Hamouda, and Ahmed Abu Zaiter, have publicly stated that efforts to build more durable fiberglass housing and improve conditions for displaced civilians were blocked.
Another example was a proposal that was put forward to demolish several heavily damaged towers which were at risk of collapse from rainwater after extensive bombardment. According to those involved, Hamas blocked the removal of the “Bank of Palestine Tower” in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood, reportedly arguing that it would "collapse from the rain anyway." The terrorist group did not show any concern for the civilian lives that would be lost when the tower eventually collapses on its own, because it wants dead Palestinians and news of tragedy to keep Gaza in the news cycle and to gain global sympathy, hoping for more incoming resources and donations for the Strip’s humanitarian and reconstruction needs that it could siphon.
Additionally, Hamas has also been accused of obstructing construction projects intended to create safer communities for displaced Gazans in southern Gaza, prioritizing political control over humanitarian relief.
This is a reminder that Gaza's suffering is not only a consequence of war. It is also the result of a fascist and ruthless governing power that repeatedly places its own interests above the welfare of the people it claims to represent. The same terror group that helped bring catastrophe upon Gaza continues to obstruct efforts to mitigate its consequences.
As floodwaters sweep through displacement camps and families endure another winter in misery, the question is unavoidable: how many Palestinian lives could have been spared had Hamas allowed humanitarian, housing, and reconstruction efforts to proceed unimpeded?

I read this open mouthed.
Are You happy for energy companies to be able to access your finances and charge you more to help someone less well off?!?
🚨Labour’s Bill Would Let Energy Firms Dig Into Your Tax Records and House Value So They Can Charge You Extra to Subsidise Others
Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh introduced the Energy Independence Bill last week that would hand energy companies access to eight government databases, including your HMRC tax and income records, child benefit, property value and pensions.
This is a major expansion beyond the limited fuel-poverty data they already get. Official assessments openly plan “progressivity”: discounts for some households paid for by extra levies on those judged better off.
Nothing happens until the bill passes and ministers create a scheme through further legislation.
Her department calls it targeting support. The unmistakable purpose is giving private firms the power to inspect your private finances and raise your bill to subsidise everyone else.
This is not support. It is a deliberate decision to treat your private tax records and property value as legitimate tools for deciding who gets charged more, then hand that power to private energy companies.
Once the machinery exists, Labour will expand it. The only real question is how far they intend to go.

When I posted yesterday about Andy Burnham’s political machine secretly intercepting public emails to protect his Abu Dhabi property deals, my inbox was flooded by people thanking me for finally calling out what goes on in Manchester.
Well, I woke up this morning and looked at the latest financial disclosures coming out of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the rabbit hole just got so much darker.
Burnham's authority has been caught funnelling nearly £1,000,000 of taxpayer money to completely anonymous beneficiaries in a series of secret payments.
They paid out £83,000 in rent to a hidden landlord. They handed out thousands in anonymous "consultancy fees." Worst of all, they gave a £210,000 capital grant to a property developer and completely redacted the name from the public ledger.
When journalists finally confronted them, the authority claimed hiding the £210,000 developer payout was just a "human error" and blamed the rest of the secrecy on data protection laws.
Look at the terrifying double standard at play here.
If a working citizen misfiles a tax return by fifty pounds or makes a mistake on a local form, the state will investigate their entire life, apply ruthless penalty fines, and threaten them with court.
But when Burnham's regional authority hands a fifth of a million pounds of public cash to an anonymous property developer, they simply shrug and call it a clerical typo.
This is exactly how the modern British political cartel operates. They use the language of bureaucracy and data protection as a legal shield to funnel public wealth to private, hidden corporate interests.
I am sorry, but they are not governing a city. They are running a shadow ledger with your money, and they are terrified of the public finding out who is actually cashing the checks.
