Another 900 illegal migrants crossed the Channel this week. They make a mockery of the £650 million we are paying #french govt to halt the invasion

How dare the UK government funnel hard-working British taxpayers’ money to jihadists in Gaza while British women and girls are denied their most basic human right to live without the constant fear of rape by foreign criminals the state refuses to deport?

1️⃣ Britain is overrun with Iranian agents. No wonder America won’t keep its planes here. My article in today’s Telegraph.

The real crisis, Miatta, is the cost of living crisis caused by the highest energy bills in the developed world.
As a result of your government’s insane net zero policies.
Truly shameful - to impoverish the British people in pursuit of windmills.
Ahead of #COP31, I spoke to @BBCJustinR for the @BBCPanorama climate special.
The climate crisis is here. We are seeing its impact on communities here in Britain and across the world.
And at a time when some are trying to divide us, this is the moment to come together, not pull apart.
Because we know the solutions. We can break our dependence on fossil fuels, bring down bills and cut emissions.
But no country can do this alone. This is the time for multilateralism and collective action.

Now the talk turns to ‘Alignment of financial services regulations with the EU’🧐
It’s deeply depressing that something as important as this is in the hands of an appeaser.
Burnham must stand up to Brussels on this during his ‘Reset’ talks with the EU.
The City of London thrives because we set our own rules, not because we copy-paste EU red tape.
Even top figures in the City have warned against dynamic alignment saying it would hold us back, let’s hope he listens.
Michel Barnier popped up on Sunday saying that the UK cannot “cherry-pick” elements of the EU Single Market. So how tough is Burnham prepared to be?
If the PM caves in just to get his wider EU “reset”over the line, he’ll turn Britain into a rule-taker with no say over our biggest net export.
He cannot blink on this🤨
EXCLUSIVE:
Andy Burnham won’t accept dynamic alignment of financial services regulations with the EU, backing the City of London’s independence from Brussels but nonetheless showing the limits of his ambitions for a much closer relationship
The Burnham administration does not want dynamic alignment of financial services regulations, UK government officials told Bloomberg
British officials have indicated to EU counterparts that this remains a red line they are unwilling to cross, according to people familiar with the matter
The development will be welcomed by some in the City of London who have lobbied Labour not to pursue dynamic alignment for financial services, but it demonstrates the complications of Burnham’s Brexit push
If the PM wants to take Britain back into the EU in future, as he has implied is possible, or if he wants the UK to join the single market, he would very likely have to sign up to its rules governing financial services
Put simply, rejecting alignment of financial services regulations makes it very difficult to rejoin the EU or the single market
While British banks took a hit after Brexit, divergence over the last decade means much of the sector now opposes alignment with the EU
TheCityUK, which represents the financial services industry, said in July that automatic dynamic alignment “is not appropriate for the UK’s financial and related professional services industry”
And UK Finance said in June: “We do not support wholesale UK alignment or dynamic alignment with the EU in financial services,” arguing Britain’s post-Brexit divergence meant it can now respond more swiftly to risks and market developments, and that its rules should be “tailored to domestic conditions”

We all know the EU is bad for British business.
What a pity that the 95% of British businesses which don't trade with the EU are going to be hobbled and Britain will once again lose its sovereignty.
Until the next government reverses this appalling & costly agreement.
“Britain’s post-Brexit divergence meant it can now respond more swiftly to risks and market developments, and that its rules should be “tailored to domestic conditions”
It would be madness for Labour to ignore the above!
@andyburnham leaning towards EU is more anti UK madness!

Be honest… how would you rate this Labour government from 1 to 10? 🤔
Out of control illegal immigration, corruption, early release for prisoners, net zero bills, cosying up to Brussels, foreign criminals still walking our streets…

Absolutely disgraceful
An extraordinary lack of any sense of proportion
📷DISGUSTING: This is Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, Recorder of Cardiff. She sentenced ex-soldier Daffron Williams — a 41-year-old veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and suffers from PTSD — to two years in prison (half to be served in custody) for Facebook posts made in the tense days after the Southport child murders.
His posts referenced “civil war is here” and included anti-Islamic imagery. She acknowledged his military service, good character references, and mental health struggles… but still sent him to prison for words on the internet.
The same judge has also jailed others for social media posts in the post-riot crackdown, including 24-year-old David Morgan who received 20 months for tweets involving Nazi imagery and racist content.
Yet when Rees Newman — convicted of the historic rape of a girl under 14 — appeared before her for breaching his sex offender requirements, she suspended his two-month jail term, explicitly citing prison overcrowding.
A veteran with PTSD goes to prison for Facebook comments warning about cultural conflict.
A child rapist walks free because the jails are too full.

For over 20 years, Lucie Kon gave everything to the BBC!!
She was an executive producer on Storyville and Panorama. She won an Emmy for We Will Dance Again, the documentary about the Nova massacre.
This year her film Mr Nobody Against Putin won an Oscar.
She says being Jewish had never been an issue at the BBC.
Then came October 7th.
She says colleagues compared Zionists to Hamas terrorists. She says executives questioned whether she could objectively document the Nova massacre, where young people were slaughtered at a music festival.
When she raised concerns about antisemitism, she says she was dismissed as "too sensitive" and offered therapy.
Therapy. For calling out hatred.
Just 19 days after winning an Oscar, she lost her job.
The BBC has now reportedly paid her more than £400,000 in a settlement, without admitting liability. Her request for an apology was refused.
£400,000 of licence fee payers' money, and still not even a "sorry".
In my opinion, the BBC is antisemitic. They have a huge problem with Jewish people, and I think antisemitism runs right through the BBC.
The signs are all there. It's obvious.

Allies of Andy Burnham are understood to have told Reeves that there is a way back if she wants it

Happy days at Guardian Towers. Remind me, which columnists did Kath Viner drive out of the paper? Talcum X? Russell the Rapist? Oh, I remember now. It was the feminists. All three of us:

A teacher from Batley has been in hiding for five years after showing his religious studies class a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson about the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
On this week’s episode of the FSU Podcast, FSU Director of Policy and Research @DavidRoseUK speaks to the teacher’s friend, local activist Paul Halloran.
They discuss how a religious studies lesson approved by the school's managment triggered street protests, death threats, and institutional capitulation.
David also asks whether Paul thinks his friend will ever be able to live a normal life again. Paul’s answer is blunt: “No.”

The interview on Radio 4 with the Governor of Bank of England had no questions about the huge losses on bonds paid for by taxpayers. No questioning of the wrong idea that the higher taxes, dearer energy and more EU rules of EU Re Set would help growth.
This really should be going viral.
Lies have been told and information is still being withheld by a Government run by tax dodgers, fraudsters and a TikTok PM.
Tick Tock indeed! @elonmusk
The Free Speech Union exposed that all five members of the Working Group tasked with drafting the official definition of Islamophobia had troubling links to Islamist organisations, including the Muslim Council of Britain and MEND.
The Working Group held a consultation so people could help shape what became the “anti-Muslim hostility” definition. Given the public interest, the FSU asked which groups and individuals had been consulted.
Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy submitted a Freedom of Information request. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) replied that it had deleted all the responses — in what appears to be against the Government’s own data policy.
The FSU then threatened Angela Rayner’s department with legal action.
Now the department’s most senior civil servant says the responses do exist and remain on its data system, but the department will not disclose who was consulted.
So what is going on? Were we told the responses had been deleted to conceal the fact that Islamist extremists had the chance to influence the definition?
We are now told that an Islamophobia tsar will be announced imminently. Given Rayner and her department’s record, who on earth could it be?
