🚨NEWS: Esther McVey demands compulsory halal and kosher meat labels as she warns millions of Brits are eating it without knowing
Esther McVey’s 10 Minute Rule Bill calling for mandatory labelling of all halal and kosher meat has progressed in the Commons so consumers know what they are buying.
She says people are served it without warning in takeaways hospitals and primary schools and accuses Labour of tiptoeing around the issue.
Should this be law?

Amen. Please, people, pray for this man. And his parishioners.
A MAN BATTLING CANCER, SITTING IN A GRAVE WITH THE BODIES OF HIS MURDERED FLOCK — HOW MUCH MORE PAIN CAN ONE HEART BEAR? 💔😭
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, a man already battling liver cancer, sat on Saturday inside a freshly dug mass grave, surrounded by the lifeless bodies of four people a father and his three sons. They were not strangers to him. They were members of his congregation. They were part of his spiritual family. They were souls he had prayed for, loved, and shepherded.
Now, they were gone.
Imagine the pain of a father watching another father and his three sons being laid to rest, knowing that their lives were cut short while they slept. Imagine sitting beside their lifeless bodies, wondering how many more innocent people must die before the world finally listens.
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo was not crying for himself. He was crying for the living. He was crying for the members of his congregation who are still alive but must sleep every night with the fear that they could be the next victims. He was mourning the dead while worrying about those who might never live to see another morning.
And what makes this even more heartbreaking is that he is carrying this burden while fighting his own battle with cancer.
Who comforts the man who spends his days comforting the brokenhearted? Who wipes away the tears of a pastor who has watched his own people buried one after another? Who stands beside a shepherd whose flock is being slaughtered?
Plateau State is bleeding. Christian communities are grieving. Families are being shattered, children are losing their fathers, and mothers are burying their children. Behind every grave is a story, behind every lifeless body is a family, and behind every name is a future that has been stolen.
Those responsible for these attacks must be held accountable. The victims deserve justice, the survivors deserve protection, and the families left behind deserve more than words of sympathy.
When innocent people are killed in their sleep, we must not allow their suffering to disappear beneath the noise of politics, indifference, or convenient explanations.
Please, do not look away.
Do not scroll past their pain as though these lives meant nothing. Do not wait until another family is wiped out before you raise your voice.
Today, it is a father and his three sons. Tomorrow, another family may be mourning their loved ones.
How many more graves must be dug? How many more children must become orphans? How many more pastors must weep over the bodies of their own congregation before the world pays attention?
We are not asking for revenge. We are asking for justice. We are asking for protection. We are asking for the right to live without the constant fear of being killed in our own homes.
May God comfort every grieving family in Plateau State, strengthen Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo in his battle with cancer, and grant protection to those who are still living in fear.
PLEASE, LET THE WORLD HEAR THEIR CRY. DO NOT LOOK AWAY. 💔😭
He could; he should - YES
The ONLY solution is a swift return of the Death Penalty.
Three girls. Fourteen. Fifteen. Sixteen.
Four Pakistani immigrants and a woman who preyed on teenage girls in north Wales have been jailed for their roles in a grooming gang.
In Rhyl they were plied with cannabis, vodka and crack, driven around, and treated as “easy prey” and “sexual playthings.”
Today Mustafa Iqbal, Mohamed Arshad, Ziaullah Badshah and Jaswinder Singh were jailed for their part in that.
Sarah Gray was jailed for helping cover it up.
Iqbal, the ringleader: 30 years plus 5 on licence.
They came from Pakistan as refugees at young ages and this is how they repay the British people and our country by grooming and raping our young children.
The judge called them predators with no remorse. North Wales Police spent years building the case in secret.
Anyone who rapes children has forfeited any claim on this country.
Foreign nationals convicted of these offences should be deported the moment the law allows immediately, without question, without fail.
Our children should not be put at risk by evil monsters like this EVER again.
I’m sorry but by just watching there police interviews you can tell they have no remorse whatsoever and once released will commit the same evil crimes again onto more innocent children.
Justice for the girls. No more looking away it’s time ANY immigrant who commits crimes is deported immediately on release.
The Assisted Dying Bill comes back to Parliament on Friday.
This Private Members Bill is the same bill previously described as unsafe and/or unworkable, dangerous & inadequate by bodies including:
The Royal College of Physicians
The Royal College of Psychiatrists
Royal College of GPs
The British Geriatrics Society
Domestic abuse charities & organisations representing disabled people.
Not just that, the bill includes an alarming clause which would allow ministers to alter aspects of the NHS without reference to Parliament. In other words, government could play God.
In case you think that sounds dramatic, former chief executive of NHS England, Lord Stevens, has called this “a Trojan horse clause for fundamental change to the National Health Service by the back door”.
In addition, the bill would allow “auto-commencement” four years after Royal Assent, regardless of whether the NHS was ready. Read that again, even if the necessary staff, training and safeguards were not in place, assisted dying would become lawful.
Make no mistake, I am in favour of anyone choosing when they leave this world, but this flawed bill is not the way to do it.
A final point, the Welsh government didn't want it, the Scots voted against it and taking into account abstentions, less than 50% of the Westminster parliament voted for the bill, and nobody had this in their 2024 manifesto.

Man proves he's an utter fool.
I’ve signed a letter supporting the evacuation of women and children from Gaza.
The Gaza genocide is a horrific crime against humanity. The world has watched it unfold in horror.
Our values demand solidarity with the Palestinians. We cannot simply face the other way.

@Ashley7Fox Please reconsider your support for this.
Important post about the upcoming, resurrected #AssistedDyingBill
And a reminder to all MPs, this bill has no support from the Royal Colleges and disability charities, even those neutral on the subject. Disability UK even calls it: "one of the most damaging pieces of legislation in recent times."
🚨This man went undercover as an Islamic extremist and proved what we already knew.
They all want Sharia Law.
They all want jihad.
Get them out.
Get them all out. teapawt.net/edenlife9/status/20924…

A long, but substantive article. Well worth the read.
NEW: WHO IS HOLDING ANDY BURNHAM’S COMPASS?
Compass says it was “battling for Andy.”
It says: “The system has to change before we can change society.”
And now it has produced '100 Ideas for 100 Days of the Burnham Government'.
The first 33 include:
- Change the voting system before the next election
- Abolish voter ID
- Alter electoral-register arrangements
- Let asylum seekers work before claims are resolved
- Move away from “illegal” towards softer immigration language
- Reduce the “salience” of small boats
- Sanction supposedly misleading political speech
- Restructure the BBC
- Create a Department for Information
And yes, that last proposal actually uses the word:
“PROPAGANDISE.”
This isn’t about inventing secret puppet masters.
It’s about something far more obvious: political alignment, influence and direction.
Compass has told us where it wants Britain to go.
The question is whether Andy Burnham is heading the same way.
I’ve gone through it properly.
