£700,000 for Migrants. 18,000 Homeless in Manchester. That's the Burnham Method. Andy Burnham is asking the voters of Makerfield to send him to Westminster. Before they do, they should know what he has been doing with their money in Manchester. This week it emerged that Burnham's Greater Manchester Combined Authority is spending £722,685 on schemes to help migrants navigate the British welfare system. The Safe Transitions programme will provide guidance in multiple languages helping refugees understand their rights, entitlements and access to housing, benefits and public services. A Refugee Lodging Scheme will match refugees with resident landlords who will support them to access housing, benefits, employment, education and community networks. Greater Manchester already hosts more than 8,500 people in asylum support accommodation. More than 18,000 people across the region have no permanent address. One in every 61 people in Manchester alone is homeless. The £700,000 is not going to them. This is not a one-off decision. It is the visible expression of a consistent set of political instincts that Burnham has spent years developing and is now quietly concealing ahead of June 18. Since 2019 he has repeatedly called for the abolition of the No Recourse to Public Funds policy, the rule that prevents migrants from immediately accessing Britain's welfare state and social housing. He called for it on his mayoral website in 2019. He signed a joint letter demanding it in 2023. He launched a pilot programme in Manchester called the Living Income Campaign, designed to top up the incomes of those living under NRPF conditions and build the case for scrapping the rule nationally. He has now quietly dropped that position. Not because he has changed his mind. Because he is campaigning in Makerfield. His allies have confirmed that as Prime Minister he would tear up the multi-billion pound Home Office contracts with private asylum accommodation providers and hand responsibility to local councils. Dispersal housing rather than hotels. The saving is real. Hotel rooms cost £145 per person per night against £23.25 for dispersal housing. But dispersal housing means more migrants placed directly into communities like Makerfield, Wigan and the surrounding boroughs, without the visibility of a hotel that can be identified and closed. The cost saving comes with a community cost that nobody is discussing. Meanwhile Makerfield itself tells a different story to the one Burnham is presenting on the doorstep. The constituency sits within a region where Reform won all eight council wards in May's local elections with around fifty percent of the vote. Around two thirds of the constituency voted Leave in 2016. The voters who went to Reform did so because they feel their communities have been transformed without consent, their housing lists lengthened, their public services stretched and their concerns dismissed. Burnham's answer to those concerns is to spend £700,000 helping more migrants access the same overstretched system. The repositioning on NRPF is the tell. A politician who held a position for six years, built a pilot programme around it and signed letters demanding it nationally does not abandon it because he has been persuaded by the evidence. He abandons it because the polling in Makerfield made it electorally inconvenient. The same thing happened with his position on EU rejoining, held on Saturday and walked back by Sunday when his team realised around two thirds of the constituency voted Leave. The voters of Makerfield are not being asked to elect a mayor. They are being asked to send a potential Prime Minister to Westminster. The £700,000 tells them more about what that Prime Minister would do than any doorstep conversation. It tells them what he does when nobody in Makerfield is watching. "One in every 61 people in Manchester alone is homeless. The £700,000 is not going to them."

This account is dedicated to one thing: keeping Henry Nowak's name in the timeline until every question about his death is answered. Henry was 18. A first-year university student. On 3 December, walking home from a night out in Southampton, he was stabbed five times with a 21cm blade. As he lay bleeding, he told the officers who arrived that he had been stabbed. They handcuffed him instead. He died saying "I can't breathe." On 28 May, his killer was convicted of murder. His mother was convicted of helping to hide the weapon. Hampshire Police have formally apologised. The IOPC investigation into the officers' conduct is active. This is not over. Sentencing is ahead. Footage is still to come. The investigation into how the people meant to protect Henry treated him as a suspect has only just begun publicly. A community formed online in Henry's name has so far donated over $60,000 to 2wish — the official charity supporting his family. 100% of creator rewards. On-chain. Verifiable. Going forward, this account will track every development. Case updates. IOPC progress. Footage releases. Sentencing. Donation receipts. Every step toward the accountability Henry's family deserve. Henry — forever 18. 🤍 #JusticeForHenryNowak

Police sacked hate crime adviser who warned the force favoured Muslims over Jews. After complaining that officers had been ignoring the “elephant in the room” of Islamist extremism during a meeting about an anti-Semitic terrorist attack, the chairman of the policing scrutiny panel was sacked. She was informed that she would be removed as chairman of the Bradford Hate Crime Scrutiny Panel because of her “divisive and inflammatory” comments. She has accused West Yorkshire Police of appearing to prioritise Muslims rather than focusing on the Jewish community following last October’s attack on a synagogue in Manchester. This follows another incident in which she was accused of “hate speech” by police officers after defending the right to criticise the Prophet Mohammed. The former panel chairman, a retired academic in her 60s, is now seeking a formal apology from West Yorkshire Police Chief Constable Sir John Robins. The Free Speech Union is proud to be supporting her. FSU General Secretary Lord Young said the force has shown that it is “more concerned with protecting the feelings of Muslim community leaders than protecting Jews from terrorist attacks”. The academic was approached in 2022 to volunteer on the scrutiny panel tasked with monitoring how police respond to hate crime reports. Soon after she was elected chairman, Muslim police officers began calling for her removal. She has suggested that the letter notifying her of her removal was “for the Muslim men who complained to him to get him to shut me up - and he did as they asked”. She also said it “sounded like a threat”, as the complainants had been demanding her personal details and asking whether she had herself committed a hate crime. Blasphemy laws were abolished in 2008. A free society must allow criticism, challenge and debate of any religion. The police must not kowtow to those who wish to enforce an Islamic blasphemy law that prevents others from doing their job.

Twenty-Seven Young Migrants Hired For Every One British Worker. No Evidence, Says Milburn. Alan Milburn has published his review into Britain's youth worklessness crisis. Nearly a million young people are not in education, employment or training. 1.25 million NEETs (not in education, employment or training) are projected within five years. One in six under-25s economically inactive. A whole-system failure, Milburn calls it. He blames outdated education, overwhelmed mental health services and welfare systems that have become traps rather than safety nets. All of that is true as far as it goes. Then he was asked whether mass migration had played any role. There is no evidence, he said. It is a blame game. Immigration is not really the problem. On the same day, the Centre for Social Justice published figures drawn from HMRC payroll data that the government itself produced. Since 2020, 27 young non-EU migrants have been hired for every one young British worker. The number of non-EU workers under 25 has risen by 355 percent. The young British workforce grew by 0.3 percent over the same period. Meanwhile young people classified as NEET rose by almost 200,000. Milburn says there is no evidence. The government's own numbers say otherwise. This is not a review that failed to find the truth. It is a review that was structurally incapable of finding it because one of the principal causes of the crisis was politically undiscussable. The same political class that used mass migration to paper over economic failure for two decades commissioned a report into the consequences of that failure and ensured the cause would never be named. The mechanism was straightforward. When austerity hollowed out public services and ministers refused to fix pay, productivity or training, immigration became the workaround. Social care was propped up with low-paid migrant labour instead of being rebuilt. Universities starved of funding became visa factories. Each institutional failure was masked by the same answer: import people, keep the system moving, push the costs into the future. Many of those workers did not remain in the sectors they were recruited for. They moved into retail, hospitality and service industries, precisely the entry-level jobs that once gave British youngsters their first foothold in the labour market. The shelf-stacking, the café work, the bar shifts, the Saturday jobs that teach punctuality, responsibility and the basic discipline of showing up. Those jobs are still there. They are simply no longer going to British young people. And this government made it worse. The employer National Insurance rise announced in last October's budget, combined with a near twenty percent jump in the youth minimum wage rate, made entry-level employment more expensive at the precise moment when the supply of cheaper imported labour was already squeezing British young people out. Both mechanisms operated simultaneously. The combined effect is what the statistics now confirm. Milburn's most revealing finding is buried in the detail. The government currently spends twenty-five times more paying unemployed young people than finding them jobs. That is a system designed to manage failure rather than end it. And it is a system built by successive governments that substituted migration for reform, deferred the costs, and are now affecting surprise at what the bill contains. The betrayal is complete. A generation of young British people has been priced out of the entry-level jobs their parents took for granted, replaced in the labour market by imported workers, and then told by a government reviewer that there is no evidence immigration had anything to do with it. The evidence is in the HMRC data. It is in the payroll figures. It is in the 729,000 young people who woke up this morning with nowhere to go. They knew. They did it anyway. A generation paid the price. "Milburn was asked whether mass migration had played any role. There is no evidence, he said."

@shuranjeetsingh Tough luck, if you want to live here you abide by our laws. I don’t care if it’s your religion or not, if we can’t carry a bladed weapon because it’s ILLEGAL neither should you.

i carry a kirpan as a baptised sikh & the guy who killed henry nowak should absolutely feel the full force of the law for what he did. his disgusting actions don’t surmount to banning the kirpan - yet another attack on religious minorities communities by reform and restore 👎🏻

The reputation of British police is in the gutter. Ideologically captured, taught white self-hatred by the College of Policing, they no longer police for the majority of the country. They are more scared of “racism” than letting an innocent boy die. This has to change. @WestYorksPolice

@ZelenskyyUa Piss off 🖕🏻

I thank the United Kingdom for its support and for all the cooperation aimed at protecting lives.

Football fans should come first. That’s why I’m urging FIFA to take action to ensure people buying World Cup tickets are not ripped off. It’s unacceptable for fans to be exploited for wanting to cheer on their country on the biggest stage. thesun.co.uk/news/39255818/…

@ukhomeoffice I don’t care if they are men, women or children I have had enough, no more excuses send every single one of them back.

Some illegal migrants falsely claim to be children to avoid or delay their detention and removal from the UK. New AI technology will be used at the border to make it easier to identify and remove adults attempting to game the system. Genuine children will be given protection.

When Naming the Attacker's Community Becomes a Sackable Offence On October 2nd 2025 an Islamist killer named Jihad Al-Shamie attacked a synagogue in Manchester. The following day West Yorkshire Police convened an emergency meeting to discuss the response. The chairman of the Bradford Hate Crime Scrutiny Panel attended. She suggested the force should focus on the Jewish community that had been attacked and address what she called the elephant in the room of Islamist extremism. She was removed from her position within days. Six complaints were filed against her. All six came from within West Yorkshire Police. Three were filed within two hours and fifteen minutes of the meeting ending. Not one came from a member of the Jewish community whose synagogue had just been attacked. This was not the first time West Yorkshire Police had moved against her. In April 2025 the panel reviewed the case of a man charged with a hate crime for telling a Muslim call handler that the Prophet Mohammed was a paedophile. The chairman argued, correctly, that criticising a religious figure is not a criminal offence. A panel of lawyers agreed. The case was downgraded. Muslim police officers demanded her removal. The internal emails obtained by the woman through a Subject Access Request and published today by Allison Pearson and Gordon Rayner in the Telegraph are extraordinary. One email from a West Yorkshire Police address reads: the views and opinions of the scrutiny panel chair are incredibly concerning and do not line with the values of West Yorkshire Police. I believe the only course of action is to remove her as chair and from the scrutiny panel. Another describes her observation that Mohammed married a nine year old as an outright hate crime requiring escalation. A third describes her comments about the Manchester attack as absurd and racist for suggesting the Muslim community was responsible. The Muslim community was responsible. The attacker's name was Jihad Al-Shamie. Bradford District Commander Richard Padwell wrote to inform her of her removal. His letter noted that her comments were not being recorded as a hate crime and that he would not be providing her personal details to those community members who had concerns about her comments. The woman described the letter as sounding like a threat. The implication that her personal details had been requested and that a hate crime designation had been considered for naming the community responsible for an antisemitic terrorist attack is not a bureaucratic technicality. It is an instrument of intimidation. West Yorkshire Police has form. In March 2021 a religious studies teacher at Batley Grammar School showed his pupils a cartoon of Mohammed. He and his family went into hiding under threat of violence where they still remain five years later. A government commissioned report found he had been totally and utterly failed by West Yorkshire Police who did not treat him as a victim of crime. Nothing changed. Lord Young of the Free Speech Union, who is supporting the former chairman's case, said the force was more concerned with protecting the feelings of Muslim community leaders than protecting Jews from terrorist attacks. That is a precise description of what three documented incidents from the same police force in the same region over four years confirm. The Batley teacher is still in hiding. The Manchester synagogue was attacked. The woman who named the community responsible was sacked. And the police force responsible for protecting all communities in West Yorkshire spent its energy filing complaints against a retired academic for stating the obvious. Two tier policing is not a political allegation. In West Yorkshire it is a documented institutional reality. "The Muslim community was responsible. The attacker's name was Jihad Al-Shamie."

@SarahCoombesWB If we aren’t allowed to carry a knife for religious reason or any other reason, neither should they. If they want to live in our country they live by our laws, no ifs or buts. What if it was your son? Hang your head you disgusting woman. 🤬🖕🏻

Both the Tories and Reform are now saying the kirpan should be banned. This is totally wrong. The kirpan is a key article of the Sikh faith. An entire community cannot be tarred by the horrendous actions of one person.

@MikeSouthWestUK @AileenBart60380 @HantsPolice I think they answered that question last December, when they stood over Henry while he lay dying, even when Henry told them I’ve been stabbed their response “I don’t think you have mate.” 🤬

Dear @HantsPolice, I have a quiz for you: Of the two, which one is more important to investigate first? 1: “he’s a racist” 2: “I have been stabbed” Take all the time you need….

@Alexarmstrong @upside_dow2032 I can, it was obvious they were going to walk after the first trial. I think the other one will be out next month because “he has served his time on remand.” 🙄🤬

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. 🚨BREAKING: NO RETRIAL FOR MANCHESTER AIRPORT INCIDENT.

@Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet You don’t speak for me, wanker.

Last night a Russian drone entered Romanian airspace and hit a residential building, injuring civilians. Time and again, Russia has shown it has no regard for civilian life, international law, or sovereignty of its neighbours. We stand with Ukraine, Romania and all NATO allies.

HMRC has decided to punish 'nice pubs.' They have ordered valuation officials to levy higher business rates on pubs that are in “attractive locations”, play an important role in the community, or are based in “character properties”. Pubs with playgrounds or those which serve a so-called "premium priced menu" will also be landed with higher taxes. This is an extraordinarily disreputable approach to valuation but only to be expected once the independent Valuation Office was shoved under the control of HMRC by dim-witted Labour Minister James Murray. HMRC are as usual obsessed with extracting the maximum amount of cash from families & businesses

@MikeTappTweets One of the problems Liebour continue to face is the public noticed a long time ago that the Liebour party is full of liars, peados, thieves and frauds. Not all of them, but a very high proportion.

One of the problems Reform continue to face is those wishing to become its politicians are often reprobates and knuckle draggers. Not all of them, but a high proportion. The public are starting to notice.

Henry Said Please, Brother, I Can't Breathe. Nobody Took The Knee. Henry Nowak lay bleeding to death in the middle of a Southampton street on December 4th 2025. He had been stabbed four times with an eight inch ceremonial knife by Vickrum Digwa, a man who had told arriving police officers that Henry had racially abused him. The officers believed the lie. They handcuffed the dying eighteen year old, ignored his pleas for help and placed him under arrest. His final words were please, brother, I can't breathe. He was pronounced dead at 12.37am. Digwa has now been found guilty of murder. His mother hid the murder weapon. His father was at the scene. The prosecutor described the racism accusation as a wicked lie about a dying man. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary is under investigation by the police watchdog. The deputy chief constable has apologised. Henry Nowak's family will never be the same. George Floyd died on May 25th 2020. He said I can't breathe as a police officer knelt on his neck. His death triggered global protests, the toppling of statues, a worldwide movement and politicians across the Western world taking the knee in solidarity. Keir Starmer took the knee. Angela Rayner took the knee. Premier League footballers took the knee. Corporate boards issued statements. Institutions commissioned reviews. The machinery of progressive outrage ran at full power for months. Henry Nowak's final words were the same as George Floyd's. The institutional failure that produced his death was equally documented. The officers who handcuffed him while he bled internally did so because decades of anti-racism training had conditioned them to treat a racism accusation as the primary fact requiring response. His killer knew it and used it. The prosecutor called it his trump card. No march. No knee. No statement from Starmer. No statement from Rayner. No institutional review of the anti-racism training that produced those officers' response. Elon Musk called it unconscionable and pledged legal action. The political establishment that mobilised for George Floyd has said nothing about Henry Nowak. The question is not why George Floyd's death mattered. It did and the officer responsible was convicted of murder. The question is why Henry Nowak's death has produced silence from the same people, the same institutions and the same political movement that found their voice so readily in 2020. The answer is not complicated. George Floyd's death could be made to serve the progressive narrative. Henry Nowak's cannot. His killer deployed the progressive framework, the racism accusation, as the instrument of murder. His case does not vindicate the ideology of anti-racism training. It exposes it. A young man died because the officers sent to save him had been so thoroughly conditioned by that ideology that they handcuffed him on the word of the man who had just stabbed him. The same long march through the institutions that produced a National Police Chiefs Council declaring structural and institutional discrimination operates at all levels within British policing, a Police Race Action Plan embedding anti-racism training across every force in England and Wales, a Louise Casey report condemning the Metropolitan Police as institutionally racist and a College of Policing that redesigned its entire disciplinary framework around racial sensitivity has produced officers so conditioned by that ideology that they handcuffed a dying eighteen year old boy because his killer said the magic word. The training worked. That is the most disturbing observation of all. Henry was a soft gentle soul who lit up a room. He was eighteen years old. He said please, brother, I can't breathe. He deserved better than the ideology that killed him and the silence that followed. "The answer is not complicated. George Floyd's death could be made to serve the progressive narrative. Henry Nowak's cannot."

@HantsPolice @daisylou1972 We all know you’re marking your own homework and the outcome will be something like, “our officers done nothing wrong in the circumstances so no action will be taken, move along nothing to see.” And you wonder why we don’t trust or respect you. 🤬🖕🏻

@daisylou1972 The incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). As stated we will fully cooperate and act on any findings.

Today, a man has been convicted of the murder of student Henry Nowak in Southampton. Throughout the trial, we have not discussed this case publicly to ensure that justice could be done but now we can share a message from DCC Robert France. orlo.uk/nTX43
