How much influence do they now have?
It's a question I'm asked constantly.
This screenshot is from an Eid party at Number 10. Standing next the Prime Minister is Arooj Shah, leader of Oldham Council. For those new to this scandal, Shah's brother is a convicted money launderer. Her childhood friend is Irish Imy, convicted heroin dealer and getaway driver for a cop killer. She is regularly seen in his company, including riding through town in the passenger seat of his Bentley. She celebrated her election victory with a convicted kidnapper and torturer.
For years Shah blocked a council vote for a public inquiry into the Pakistani rape gangs and used Andy Burnham's police force to target those who campaigned against the cover-up. At the same time, she openly endorsed physical attacks on her political opponents.
No mainstream political party will speak the truth of what is happening in towns like mine. Journalists not only refuse to touch it, some help hide it. Those from the communities I come from know exactly what awaits them if they speak out.
Recently, a potential opposition candidate had his car set alight and his family home set on fire. His mother was inside. He has since stepped down from running against Shah's candidate.
The Prime Minister knows. He and his party depend on this arrangement with Pakistani Muslims like Shah to stay in power.
Shah is not an exception. Across the country, the Labour Party is infested with Pakistani politicians just like her.
We still have a little time left to save our nation from what is coming. But only if people refuse to look away.
Share this. Talk about it. Say it out loud in places where it makes people uncomfortable. The only thing protecting this network is silence, and that silence depends on your fear.

I’m Raja Miah MBE. For seven years, I led a campaign that exposed how senior Labour politicians helped protect Pakistani rape gangs. The people of my town helped force the national inquiry.
You won’t see me on the BBC. You won’t read my work in the legacy press. That’s not an accident. I take this to a place from where there is no coming back.
My work is free. No paywalls. No gatekeeping. No exclusions. Because the truth shouldn’t belong only to those who can afford it. If you can afford to do so, supporting me costs as little as 75p a week (£30 a year).

We’re up against a machine, politicians, police, officials, and media, working together to shrink, sanitise, and bury the truth. This work survives because of you.
If you’ve ever shared my posts, learned something, or felt less alone reading them, stand with me. I need your help.
