Here, in stark terms, we see the appallingly f**ked-up priorities of Andy Burnham’s government.

So Jeremy Clarkson says "it's not racist to investigate a rapist" and the usual mob comes for him. Course they do.
Nine words. That's all it took to send them into meltdown. And you know why? Because he's right, and they know he's right, and the only answer they've got left is to call him a bigot.
Let's remember what he was actually on about. A girl walks into a police station and says she's been raped by a gang. And she gets sent home with a cup of tea, because the copper knows that doing his job means being called a racist and losing his job.
That's not a rant. That's Rotherham. That's Rochdale. That's Telford. Tens of Thousands of kids. And the people who looked the other way are still in their jobs, still giving interviews, still telling us they were "led by the evidence."
He didn't say anything clever. He said something obvious, out loud, which is the one thing you're not allowed to do.
It was never racist to investigate a rapist, Jeremy. It was just easier not to and that’s exactly what the police and governments did, Fuck All. 🇬🇧

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

Every word of this is true.
If you only have 3 minutes to watch Joe Rogan’s podcast today, this is the 3 minutes you need to see.
Jordan Peterson just described “gender-affirming care” in a way no one else would dare.
“I've never seen anything worse than what's happening right now. And that includes the sorts of things that were done in the camps in Germany. At least the goddamn Naz*s admitted what they did was wrong. They tried to hide it. We trumpet it as a moral virtue.”
“These surgical procedures are so brutal and so experimental that they're—I'm going to say it again—they're worse than what the Mengele types did in the concentration camps in the thirties and forties. And that's a pretty goddamn low bar.”

Remember when Antoinette Fernandez (Green Party speaker of Hackney Council) bemoaned the British bombardment of Lagos, forcing her great great maternal grandfather from power?
She forgot to mention the reason why.
And you won't hear a single peep of apology from this lot about it.

A message to the North East, a region that means so very much to me, but it matters to each of you with these new almighty mayors too.
This is Kim McGuinness. The Labour Mayor who sat in a room with the Prime Minister and a table full of elected mayors last week and complained that your councils were getting in her way.
Her words: "They could stop me from doing it. And I don't think that's right, either on this or other things."
This was never just about a tourist tax. It's about who gets to decide what happens in your town.
I'm a County Durham lad. My grandad, and generations of my family before him, went down the pits here. My mam and dad met working in the factories of Stanley. I was brought up to believe that power belongs as close as possible to the people it affects. In your street. In your village. With the councillors you can stop in Tesco and give a piece of your mind.
So let me walk you through what's happened.
In 2024, Kim McGuinness stood for mayor promising a £1 a night charge on hotel rooms. A quid. A "small charge," she called it.
Now she wants a levy of up to 5% on every booking. On a £150 hotel room, that's £7.50 a night. Every hotel, B&B, guest house and holiday let in the region. That isn't the small charge she put in her manifesto. It's a massive escalation she never asked you about.
Then something happened she didn't plan for. You voted.
After she was elected, the people of Durham, Sunderland, Gateshead and South Tyneside put Reform in charge of their councils. Those are mandates every bit as real as hers, and more recent. In September, the four of us wrote to her asking her to rule this tax out. Northumberland's Conservatives oppose it too. That's five of the seven council leaders on her own cabinet, from two different parties.
So what was the first thing she did?
She didn't come back to us. She didn't try to change our minds. She went straight to the Prime Minister, in front of mayors from across the country, and asked for the power to overrule the councils you elected.
Let's be clear about what that means.
Devolution was supposed to take power out of Westminster and hand it back to communities. What Kim McGuinness wants is to take power out of Westminster and park it on one desk in Newcastle. Hers.
That isn't devolution. It's centralisation with a regional postcode. It reduces your local councils to powerless chambers with a car park.
She was asked to pick between the councils you elect to serve your community and more power for herself. She picked herself.
And she told the PM it wasn't just about this. "Other things," she said. So ask yourself what comes next. If your council can't stop her taxing visitors, can it stop a thousand homes going up on the edge of your village? A solar farm across good farmland? Turbines on your skyline? She wants the answer to be no.
Follow the money too. In that same meeting, which project did she talk up? Newcastle. She didn't name a single Durham town. Durham's guest houses collect it. Tyneside spends it.
Her reply to me in the Chronicle was 200 words on why her tax is wonderful. There wasn't a single word denying she'd asked the Prime Minister to overrule the leaders you elected.
Not one.
I don't think that's right. I don't think any of you voted for that. And I'm not going to sit quietly whilst it happens either.

Council worker sues for discrimination after he was made redundant three days before his 55th birthday - costing him his £350k pension
Lee Henley, 57, worked for Thurrock Council for 35 years and was made redundant on 22 July 2024, three days before his 55th birthday.
That timing meant he missed out on an immediate full pension worth around £350,000.
The council was effectively bankrupt with £1.5 billion in debt and shortened the consultation period while he was on holiday.
An employment tribunal dismissed his age discrimination claim, finding the shorter process applied to everyone and granting the pension would have cost frontline services more than £350,000.
So this is what loyal service gets you!

“Take up arms… and do preemptive strikes wherever those preemptive strikes are needed”.
That sounds pretty much like incitement to violence to me @nottspolice

A Reform member in Portsmouth who served with distinction as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan and Iraq was told by an ITV undercover reporter that they shared the same military background.
That was a lie.
The Marine, believing him, took him for a drink. They spent hours talking about their 'shared' service.
He shared deeply personal stories from the front line.
He thought he was talking to a friend who had been through the same things.
He has since learned that the man across the table was an actor with a hidden camera, sent by a television company to damage the party he volunteers for.
He said he feels VIOLATED.
A man who put his life on the line for this country had his most private memories extracted by deception for a TV programme.
This just shows you how SCUMMY the mainstream media are.
