@KemiBadenoch Is there a reason you are deliberately excluding Northern Ireland? Especially given the sanctuary it provided in World War II for many Jewish children. Time to reunite the United Kingdom.🇬🇧

What kind of person targets Hatzola, a volunteer-run ambulance service? Just last week in Golders Green, members of the Jewish community told me how they live in fear of constant attacks. The police must find those responsible. A hatred of Jews is growing in our country and all of us need to make it clear in our words and actions that Britain will not tolerate antisemitism.

@Davy_McG @PaulaJaneB @StephenNolan £106 including tips? 🤨 I would suggest that would not cover 1 day in Washington, so the alternative options are: a) Bradshaw spent her own money. b) Someone or something else funded the trip. The release of the information only raises more questions.

@PaulaJaneB @StephenNolan Exceptionally well played to only spend £106 on food and drink in 6 days in the USA. Incedible work. Should make you the Finace Minister.

Earlier today on @StephenNolan show, it was stated by a DUP MLA that costs associated with my trip to Washington in 2024, as Chair of the Committee for the Executive Office for St Patrick’s Day, were “£6000”. For the record, this is inaccurate. Here is a breakdown of the costs:

A demonstration is now being held on Golders Green Road in NW London under the banner of “Stop the Hate.” Jewish people, Israelis, and Iranians are present with non Jewish people highlighting attention of the threats of radical Islam and their supporters.

Just arrived at Golders Green to cover the protest at four Jewish ✡️ ambulances set on fire. It has kicked off already. The man in the car started hurling anti-Semitic abuse. An Iranian 🇮🇷man standing put him right.

Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green
My message to this Government is simple: show determination and ban the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Britain must not tolerate those who threaten lives on our shores, and for years the IRGC has threatened people on British soil. Our security services have already foiled around 20 Iranian-linked plots involving sabotage and assassination here in the UK. That should concern every one of us. Yet despite repeated calls across Parliament, the IRGC is still not proscribed. Defence of the realm begins with the defence of our own country. If an organisation is threatening, intimidating and pursuing people here in Britain, we should act. Proscribing the IRGC would give our security services stronger powers to disrupt and stop those responsible.

After Birmingham, They Gave Him the BBC Sir Michael Lyons Chaired the BBC Trust and Advised Ministers on Public Accountability. He Was Also Running Birmingham City Council When It Voted Down an Inquiry Into a Suppressed Child Rape Report. He Has Never Been Asked What He Knew. The National Inquiry Should Change That. Let me introduce you to Sir Michael Lyons. Knighted in 2001 for services to local government. One of the most influential figures in British public administration of his generation. He chaired the Lyons Inquiry into Local Government Finance for the UK Government between 2004 and 2007. He served as Chairman of the BBC Trust from 2011 to 2014, overseeing the governance and accountability of the BBC itself. He spent decades advising governments on how public institutions should function and be held to account. Today he chairs the government's New Towns Taskforce, advising ministers on the creation of a new generation of towns as part of the UK's long-term housing strategy. In other words, he became one of the country's most senior figures responsible for holding powerful institutions to account. So why am I telling you this? This week I published an investigation showing that Birmingham City Council commissioned research in 1990 documenting the sexual exploitation of girls in its care. The study was carried out by Dr Jill Jesson of Aston University and completed in 1991. According to Jesson, references linking the exploitation to the private hire trade were removed from the report by a steering group overseeing the research. All reference to ethnicity was removed too. She was told her methodology was flawed and ordered to erase the connection entirely. The planned seminar to discuss the findings was cancelled. The full report was never properly published. Copies were ordered destroyed. The Pakistani Rape Gang cover up did not end there. In December 1995, Birmingham City Council's Social Services Committee debated whether there should be a full inquiry into what had happened to the Jesson research. The motion was voted down. Sir Michael Lyons had been Chief Executive of Birmingham City Council since 1994. He would remain the most senior official running that authority until 2001. He was in post when the council voted to bury the question of what had happened to a suppressed child rape report. The Gang Rape of Little White Girls Did Not Stop In 2010, West Midlands Police produced a confidential problem profile warning that hundreds of children in Birmingham were considered at risk of sexual exploitation. The document was never made public. It took a Freedom of Information request by the Birmingham Mail in 2015 to force it into the open. Nearly two decades after the Jesson research first identified the pattern, police had documented the same problem, compared it explicitly to Rotherham, and chosen not to tell the public it existed. The council buried the research in 1991. The police buried their own intelligence in 2010. Both sets of evidence were suppressed. Both were eventually forced out by journalists rather than by the institutions themselves. That is not two separate failures. That is a pattern. Which means the questions are not historical. They are direct. - How many girls were abused while Lyons was running the council? - What did his administration do to address the warnings that already existed when he took the role? - Why did Birmingham emerge from his tenure with the problem not only unresolved but apparently worsening? - And what did he know about the Jesson report, the suppression of its findings, and the 1995 vote that closed the door on any inquiry? Institutions do not make decisions on their own. People do. And if the national inquiry into grooming gangs is serious about understanding how warnings were handled in the 1990s, the people who ran those institutions at the time must be required to answer for what happened. Sir Michael Lyons ran Birmingham City Council from 1994 to 2001. He was in post when the 1995 vote was cast. He went on to hold some of the most prominent public positions in British institutional life. His reputation rests on a career built around accountability, governance and the proper functioning of public institutions. Lyons has never once been asked publicly what he knew about the Jesson report or the cover up of the gang rape of little White girls in the city he ran. The national inquiry has the power to compel testimony. It has the power to require answers under oath. Sir Michael Lyons should be called to give evidence. _________ I'm Raja Miah MBE. You won't see me on the BBC or read my work in the legacy press. That's not an accident. For seven years I led a campaign exposing how senior Labour politicians helped protect Pakistani rape gangs. The people of my town helped force the national inquiry. This investigation into Birmingham is the next front in that same fight. Everything I publish is free. No paywalls. Because the truth shouldn't belong only to those who can afford it. But I'll be honest with you. Tens of thousands of people read this work every week. A small and shrinking number support it financially. Without that support, this work stops. The national inquiry we forced will almost certainly become a cover-up. The people who buried the evidence are already positioning themselves to manage what comes next. Exposing that, and making sure the victims are not betrayed again, is going to take years. Possibly another five. Sir Michael Lyons has never been asked what he knew. The councillors who voted down the 1995 inquiry have never been named in public. The girls in those files have never had anyone demand answers on their behalf. That is what this work is for. If you believe it matters, please support it. Even a small amount keeps this going when institutions, politicians and the legacy press are all working to make sure voices like mine disappear. Subscribe to the newsletter: 👉 redwallandtherabble.co.uk Or support with a one-off contribution: 👉 BuyMeACoffee.com/recusantnine 👉 paypal.me/RecusantNine The people we are naming have lawyers, platforms and power. All I have is the truth and the people who refuse to let it be buried. Raja 🙏

You literally cannot make this up. The Prime Minister's Chief of Staff had his phone "stolen" with all his messages to Lord Mandelson, and conveniently there is ZERO backup. They are treating the public like absolute fools.

BBC Journalist trolling another Unionist politician…. Just checking (so far no result) on any other form of similar approach on any other variety of politician… Ignoring of course that @BBC has large bureau in Washington and this ‘trolling’ could have easily been down the line.

Did Stormont Ministers travel to the Washington in business class? @endamcclafferty asked the dFM about the value for money of sending four Stormont Ministers to the US during a cost of living crisis. The dFM said it was value for money and she attended 15 events in 4 days.

🚨BREAKING: Gerry Adams welcomes end of 'case that should never have been taken' and has 'nothing but sympathy for claimants'. 🗣Former @sinnfeinireland President @GerryAdamsSF has welcomed the “emphatic end” of a High Court damages claim against him by three victims of Provisional IRA bombings, saying the case “should never have been brought”. 🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 was in Belfast. On the final day of a two-week trial, lawyers for the victims said the claim against the former Sinn Féin president had been “discontinued” with “no order as to costs”. John Clark, a victim of the 1973 Old Bailey bombing in London; Jonathan Ganesh, a victim of the 1996 London Docklands bombing; and Barry Laycock, a victim of the 1996 Arndale shopping centre bombing in Manchester, had sued Mr Adams for £1 in damages. The case centred on allegations he was a leading member of the Provisional IRA at the time, including on its Army Council. Mr Adams told the court in London he had “no involvement whatsoever” in the bombings and was never a member of the Provisional IRA. His lawyers argued the case should be thrown out as an abuse of process. After a delay to proceedings on Friday, Ms Studd told the court the case would be discontinued after “developments overnight”. She said the development was “related” to arguments around whether the claim was an “abuse of process”. The judge, Mr Justice Swift, said: “I am happy to make an order in the terms the parties have agreed.”
