@SPG1411294 @PolitlcsUK In these febrile times, someone on the inside might become a whistleblower. The authorities always turn a blind eye to Muslim cheating but got caught out by these election observers. The initial attempt to discredit them failed - hence this whitewash - but will the cover-up hold?

@RoddyFor @PolitlcsUK If "family voting" is a way of saying more than 1 person goes into a voting booth, this is illegal. The police have not said this didn't happen, their statement said no evidence of coercion. Coercion happens in the booths when more than one is in.

🚨 NEW: Greater Manchester Police say they have found "no evidence" of family voting in the Gorton and Denton by-election

@PolitlcsUK There are many questions that arise from this police statement. It’s been carefully crafted to give the impression of being definitive but, on closer inspection, it turns out to be full of so many holes that a cynic might suspect that the GMP didn’t want to find any smoking guns.

Greater Manchester Police's statement in full: "We’ve concluded our investigation into alleged ‘family voting’ at last month’s Gorton and Denton by-election, finding no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting. Our investigation into alleged influencing of voters at a polling booth (under Section 62C Representation of the People Act 1983 (Ballot Secrecy Act 2023)) began after a criminal report from the Reform UK party following a public statement made by independent electoral observers at Democracy Volunteers. We have spoken to the four Democracy Volunteers observers present at polling stations on the day of the by-election (26 February) who have shared with us their eyewitness account. This includes some instances of more than one voter going into a booth at the same time, and instances of people looking over the shoulder of voters. The information they have provided to us estimates this may have happened on 32 occasions across 15 polling stations. The observers do not allege any verbal instruction or physical conduct that indicated one person was directing or coercing another regarding how to vote. This is a crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed. Our investigation team, led by an experienced senior investigating officer, spoke to all four volunteers from Democracy Volunteers as part of our enquiries – obtaining a copy of their observations. We also spoke to the Presiding Officers at 15 stations as well as the Acting Returning Officer, none of whom received any reports other than from Democracy Volunteers. We have received no further criminal reports. For us to investigate allegations, we require an understanding of who the potential suspects may be, and evidence that may corroborate eyewitness accounts. For an investigation to meet the criminal threshold for prosecution, we require admissible evidence of intent or action aimed at influencing the vote. We have asked Democracy Volunteers for descriptions of those alleged to be involved, and timings on when these are believed to have occurred. These details were not documented by observers or the complainant, and we have not been provided with any identities or descriptions to pursue. The absence of this information means there is no remaining reasonable line of enquiry. This also includes limitations with CCTV as an absence of descriptions, and votes not being time-stamped, meaning we are not able to identify individuals from footage. We have approached all 45 polling stations in the Gorton and Denton constituency to ask for CCTV from the day. Forty-one of those polling stations told us they did not have CCTV activated in the building as it would have compromised the secrecy of the vote during polling day, in line with advice given. We have seized and viewed CCTV from three of the remaining four polling stations. These are three polling stations that Democracy Volunteers visited. We have spoken to the Presiding Officer from each one. However, these stations do not show any evidence of anyone directing or coercing another regarding how to vote – the crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed. There is no evidence to suggest any intent to influence or refrain a person from voting as stated in the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023. We have been liaising with the Electoral Commission, who we have shared our findings with. We have also shared our findings with the Returning Officer. We have updated the complainant about the work of our investigation and the conclusion we have reached."

@Wurmserscribit The Islamic regime must not survive. It’s being kept on life support by the determined support of 🇨🇳 and 🇷🇺 . Any attempt to declare ‘victory’ without achieving real victory would leave 🇺🇸 weakened. There’s no inherent reason for that to happen - it’s purely a matter of willpower

Which is why China will make sure Iran is rebuilt as fast and extensively as possible into a dangerous regional power threatening the U.S., the Gulf, and Israel again should its government survive. We must not assume that it will take a decade for Iran to rebuild its threat if the tyrant mercenary regime survives.

@JimSlaven Not a word of a lie about Labour but the experience of the last few years in Scottish politics tells us one thing with absolute clarity: the SNP is no better. If a deal with Reform was the price the SNP had to pay to keep themselves in power, that’s exactly what would happen.

@FortressEvropa @bencobley The culture in most countries around the world is the strong take what they want and the rest take what they can. The main restraint on taking - or even asking - is fear of it backfiring. 🇬🇭 has no fear of asking 🇬🇧 - we won’t smite them for their impudence and we might even pay.

@bencobley Their leaders spend it all on luxury cars and mansions, then put their hands out again. Africa is the land of corruption, a never ending money sink that is dragging the rest of the world down.

Ghana received £2.8 billion in foreign aid from Britain just in the 20 years between 1997 and 2017. More recently, payments have fallen.

@RemiAdekoya1 If you sincerely believe it’s ‘unfortunate’ that Julius Malema can’t control nuclear weapons by winning an election then I sincerely believe that you should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Even without Malema, corrupt ANC ministers would have flogged the nukes to Iran.

Back in 2023, I argued that it was, paradoxically, unfortunate that then-aparthied South Africa gave up its nuclear weapons in 1990s. Think recent events support my argument.

@TradBritGroup I think it might be worse than that: it’s perfectly possible that Hermer and co could be planning to hand over vast sums, as soon as Phillipe Sands and Phil Shiner have been retained by the OAU. I was talking about what a sound government should do (apart from lock up traitors).

I fear it’s because - as stated, or at least implied, below Roddy - they wanted to recognise and uphold the moral charge but to avoid agreeing to the politically difficult issue of reparations. Instead, they should have voted against, under similar reasoning to the Americans (image). miragenews.com/uk-vote-explan…

Non-European countries will always support others in extracting resources and gaining advantage from us. The danger is that as demographics shift, many foreign origin peoples here will support it too. Let's reset the population status quo ante. T: The resolution, tabled at the UN General Assembly by Ghana on behalf of the African Union of countries, also condemned the forced migration as “the gravest crime against humanity”. The text added that countries such as the UK should now begin “good-faith dialogue on reparatory justice, including a full and formal apology, measures of restitution, [and] compensation”. It also insisted that “wrongful acts entail a duty of reparation”. The non-binding resolution passed by 124 to three, with the UK among 52 abstentions. It successfully garnered support from China, Iran, and Russia. Many Commonwealth countries, including India, also voted in favour of the resolution. By backing the resolution, the UN members affirmed “the importance of addressing historical wrongs affecting Africans and people of African descent”, and accepted that “claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs”. The resolution also called for states to launch “programmes and services to address racism and systemic discrimination.”

@TradBritGroup I’m not so sure. Voting against would still confer legitimacy on an absurd process. Britain should merely state that the undignified antics of certain people in demanding money for nothing will bring only embarrassment to their nations.

Also, why would the UK and many other Western nations abstain? We are really governed by an enemy class.

@mrkellywright @MykhailoRohoza Exactly! When left-leaning judges act as a block on the democratic decisions of voters, the EU responds with silence or even applause. But if right-leaning governments dismiss these politicised judges, the EU screams. We need a 🇪🇺-wide campaign for depoliticised judiciaries.

Nothing says 'rule of law' quite like replacing the highest court judges with your own loyalists. We saw the same thing in Poland, the EU complains and sanctions over government domination of the judiciary, but has no problem once one of their favorite is elected and does the same thing

Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar, calling Orbán and his circle a mafia, stated that if he gains a constitutional majority, the heads of the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court, the State Audit Office, the competition authority, and the prosecutor general will be removed. According to him, they failed to fulfill their constitutional duties and instead placed political loyalty to Orbán above the law. Over years of prolonged dominance in Hungarian politics, Orbán has rewritten the constitution, redrawn electoral districts, and appointed loyalists to key positions, creating a model of “illiberal democracy” that he presents to nationalist allies in Europe and beyond as a system resistant to electoral defeat. Magyar promised to return Hungary to the European political mainstream and to loosen ties with Russia. “Viktor Orbán does not represent the interests of Hungary, the European Union, or NATO, but rather the interests of a third country,” Magyar said, clearly referring to Russia.

@MykhailoRohoza @JohnOSullivanNR It’s tragic that a leader of Hungary’s liberation from Soviet Communism ended up as the tool of an ex-KGB Colonel bent on neo-Soviet irredentism. Blame also the EU’s insane attempts to impose fines and Merkel-style migration on members states which pushed Orban into Putin’s arms.

@Steven_Swinford @JohnRentoul If you need to get rid of a phone when ‘I lost it’ won’t be enough, this is a good way to make it look (semi) credible: find a stretch of road without CCTV, switch off the phone, place it in a Faraday pouch and call 999. Later, add some coins to the bag and drop it in the Thames.

BREAKING Morgan McSweeney did not tell the Metropolitan Police who he was or where he worked when he called 999 after his phone was stolen The Metropolitan Police has released a transcript of the call and said that it was not aware 'of the victims employment or the particular security risks associated with his device or material on it The call took place on 20 October, 2025 at 22.30. McSweeney stated that it was a government phone Here is the verbatim transcript of the call in full: Call handler: Police, what's your emergency? Caller: Oh, hello, someone just robbed my phone. Call handler: Did they actually take it from you just now? Caller: Yeah Call handler: How did they get away? Caller: So he's on a bike. He's come onto the pavement to grab my phone and cycled off on a bike. Call handler: And where did this happen? Caller: It happened in Belgrave Street* in Westminster. *We now know that the incident took place in Belgrave Road, Westminster. The call handler inputs Belgrave Street and it provides a matching road name in Tower Hamlets, which is what is recorded in error. There are further references to locations near to Belgrave Street in Tower Hamlets later in the call, which compounds the issue. Call handler: And whose phone are you using now? Caller: I've got two phones. I'm using my personal one. That was my work one. Call handler: Can I take the phone number for this phone you're calling on? Caller: Yeah, 07XXXXXXXXX. Call handler: Thank you. And you said Belgrave Street, yeah? Caller: Yeah, just kind of going back to the location. Call handler: Don't put yourself at any risk. It's not worth it over a phone. I appreciate it’s frustrating. Call handler: And which way did they go towards, this suspect on a bike? Caller: He went. He travels north. I saw him for a few blocks. Call handler: So where were you when you last saw him? Have you got any idea? Caller: Yeah, so. Call handler: Did you get up to Stepney? Caller: Let me tell you where I got to. I'm just going back to where I can. Caller: So he turned right. Sorry, he turned left. There's a park on top of the road and he turned left there. Call handler: Stepney Green Park, ok. Caller: Yeah. He turned left there. Call handler: Can you remember anything about his appearance? Caller: Yeah, he was young. He was a black guy. He was on a bike. Call handler: About how young? Call handler: Just a guess. Caller: Teens. Late teens. Call handler: Was he skinny, tall, any idea? Caller: Yeah. He was slim. He was about average height. Call handler: Was it an e bike or pedal bike? Caller: Pedal bike. Call handler: Have you got a tracker on the phone at all? Caller: I do. It’s a government phone. Call handler: And it's your work phone. What kind of phone is it? Caller: It’s an iPhone. Call handler: Do you know what model? Caller: I don't. [PAUSE] Call handler: Right, just bear with me a second. Call handler: We would normally deploy to see you but at the moment, we are having extreme demand on police officers. So, I don't know if you would prefer to make your way home and make a crime report over the phone or online tomorrow. I mean, I can complete one with you now. I can pass this down, you can wait, but I honestly do not know how long you'll be waiting, Caller: If I could complete it now that would be good. Call handler: Ok. Call handler: What's your name, please? Caller: My name is XXXXXXXXXX. Call handler: XXXXXXXXXX? (repeats name back) Caller: Yeah. Call handler: And your date of birth, please? Caller: It's XXXXXX Call handler: Is XXXXXXXXX (surname) all one word? Caller: Yeah, (spells surname). Call handler: And what's your home address? Caller: (Provides non-London address) Call handler: So you live in XXXXXX? Caller: Yeah. Call handler: Are you staying anywhere while you're in London? Caller: Yeah. Call handler: Sorry, it just takes a little bit longer to deal with an address outside of the Met. I do apologise. Caller: It’s ok. Call handler: And may I take an email for you please (name)? Caller: Yeah, it's XXXXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXXXX.com (personal email address) Call handler: You'll get a copy of the preliminary crime report through to that email. Call handler: How would you like to be contacted by an investigating officer? By email or phone? Caller: Phone, please. Or either, I’m not fussed. Call handler: Have you got any finance apps on the phone? Caller: No. Call handler: You'll need to change any passwords for any logins you do have on the phone. Caller: Yeah, okay. Call handler: You're not vulnerable in any way. Are you? Caller: No I’m not. Call handler: Do you believe there was any CCTV near where the incident happened? Caller: Might be. [Inaudible] away from location. Call handler: Don't worry. Don't return. No, I'll just put at the moment unknown. And obviously, if we find out more, we find out more. Call handler: Are you willing to make a statement to support the investigation? Caller: Definitely. Call handler: So what time did he actually snatch the phone? Caller: About two minutes before I rung you and I chased, and then I rang my office to get the phone tracked and then I rang you. Call handler: Okay, cool. It would have been about 25 past that you were robbed. Caller: A little before, about 23 minutes past, I think. Call handler: 23? Little bit before? Okay. [PAUSE] Call handler: Just bear with me, I’m just trying to get this system to accept the address. Sorry about this. I won't keep you much longer. Call handler: If you do get any tracking updates, what you do is you give us call back if the phone is stationary. Caller: Yeah. Call handler: And we can review attending then. We can't guarantee attending a moving phone at all, but if it's been stationary for a few… Call handler: It’s not accepting your address. Caller: I can give you my London address? Call handler: It’s alright. I've nearly got this to work. Caller: Okay Call handler: How long you staying in London? Caller: So I come to London every week. I work in London. Call handler: Oh, I see. Okay, that makes sense. Caller: So I'll be here till Thursday. Call handler: Okay. [PAUSE] Call handler: As I was trying to say, I've got this sorted now, so I'll be texting you a crime reference number in the next few moments. Along with the crime reference number will be a CHS reference number. If you need to give us a call back, you can call back giving that reference number from any device, and then we'll be able to link it straight away to your crime report and review deploying. We will need to know a bit more details about the phone itself, so when you're contacted by the investigating officer, or if you do get tracking details, you can call us back with the IMEI number, and the type of phone that it is that would be super helpful. Caller: All right, thank you. Call handler: All right, I’m just about to text you through the crime reference number now. Caller: Thank you so much. You’ve been really helpful. Call handler: No worries. All right, (name). You take care now, okay? Bye. Caller: Bye bye.

@thomasgodfreyuk As a barrister, Vaughan is bound by the Cab Rank principle to give his services to anyone, without fear or favour. You can’t infer that he’s a ‘political lawyer’ who shares his clients’ extremist views unless he does something overtly political himself, like become a left-wing MP

Vaughan also appeared for Ameth Diop, a Senegalese migrant who was convicted of eight domestic abuse offences. He was jailed for 22 months. Diop sued on human rights grounds when he was held in immigration detention too long, and Vaughan, after arguing the Home Office had acted unlawfully, won Diop £9,000 in damages.

@DalrympleWill When Dalrymple hears the murderous fanatics who control Iran being described as “evil people” his reaction is to attack Israel. Only a shrink could do justice to the task of explaining how a posh dilettante ended up as an anti-Western dogmatist.

Bit rich when his country has recently bombed six of its neighbours and stands accused of genocide in Gaza; when Israeli Human rights organisations talk of a network of torture camps across his country; and when his fellow ministers are busying discussing the annexation & settlement of Southern Lebanon as part of a plan to create a Greater Israel across the Middle East and displacing the many millions of innocent civilians who have always lived there. Some might even call it projection

@BasilTheGreat For 🇫🇷, it’s an easy scam. The 🇬🇧 government is desperate for the problem to go away because it makes voters hate them but they can’t do stuff that would actually work (🚁🥷🧨🚤 💥🏊🏽‍♂️👉) because the elite won’t let them. & 🇫🇷 says “Give us 💶 or we’ll let even more 🛶⛵️🛥️ come”

🚨NEARLY 1,000 FIGHTING AGE MALES ARRIVE IN JUST 6 DAYS Why are we paying France a penny? We've just signed a new deal with them for £500 Million. And for what? They don't stop them coming

@Lukas14ub @TRobinsonNewEra Why mention His Majesty? He has nothing to do with these matters. And what is the point of demanding a vote of no confidence when those with a say are locked into a predetermined position? Of course we need a general election but, in the interim, vote in the locals on 7 May.

@TRobinsonNewEra Much better would be: ▪️King Charles comming finaly up to his duty and solve the parliament now. ▪️or the parliament calling for a vote of no-confidence now. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏

A paedophile invader who failed to disclose his conviction for molesting a five-year-old to UK authorities has won the right to fight against his deportation. An immigration judge ruled Edi Cardoso Ramos, 29, made an 'honest mistake' when he did not mention his criminal past while applying for leave to remain in the UK. The judges are a huge part of the problem. We need a general election fast!

@RaheemKassam @megynkelly @barnes_law I’m obsessed, just as I’m obsessed with the anti-war side in 1940 in 🇬🇧. Whenever communists and fascists agree that their own nation shouldn’t go to war and this pacifist perspective is supported by the more effete elements of the elite, the result is a treasonous tripod of 💩.

@megynkelly @barnes_law This is what I keep saying. If the anti-war side is so impotent, why are people obsessed with it. More obsessed than seeking evidence from the government for its actions. It smacks of insecurity and paranoia.

For a group with no power the neocon press certainly spends a lot of time talking about them.

@adamkelwick I don’t know you, Adam, so I can’t be sure whether you’re being naive or disingenuous. For the sake of charity, I’ll assume the former. Your account of events in Liverpool is misleading. I get that UKIP is not your cup of tea (nor mine, for what it’s worth) but facts are facts.

Reflections on yesterday's UKIP March from a Muslim in Liverpool. Well done and thank you to Christian leaders across the city, Liverpool City Council and the people of Liverpool for showing what this city really stands for. Christians and Muslims in Liverpool are together against hate ❤️

@DPJHodges Serious about what? A serious person? Serious about trying to replace Starmer as Prime Minister? Serious about quietly derailing the bill he has ministerial responsibility for but which almost all of his erstwhile comrades regard as anathema?

He's serious.

@PaulEmbery Spot on. Centrism has resonances of mass parties of government in the post-war era like the Italian Christian Democrats or the Brandt’s SPD but the 21st century 🇬🇧 version is an elite project which combines the sanctimonious smugness of the Remoaners with technocrat CEO energy.

The problem with this argument is that the “centre” isn’t what the political elites believe it to be. What they consider to be the “centre” is actually the fringe - the worldview of a band of militant “centrists” who are utterly out of touch with mainstream opinion.

@petersavodnik @ezralevant And paid for by very powerful yellow men, in the case of Code Pink.

It’s actually impossible to get more patronizing than rich white lady painting happy pictures for poor brown people.
