Labour’s early release of rapists and sex offenders is due to start on 2 September. Burnham says he wants to stop it. So why hasn’t he bothered to meet anybody from the Ministry of Justice?

Scrambling for a "legacy", Starmer is going to ram the Hillsborough Law through the Commons tomorrow. But its application to the military and intelligence agencies - meaning decisions about which secrets can be shared are taken over their heads - is a dangerous risk for our national security. Our soldiers and spies - and others, like the National Crime Agency and the special operations commands in the police - necessarily deal in secrets. They have to protect their sources, their methods, and their capabilities. Of course they should be accountable - but not in ways that leave us less safe. Allied military and intelligence partners - most notably the US and the other Five Eyes powers - will look at this and question what can be done to protect their sources, methods, technological capabilities, and their live operations. Then there is the additional risk of legal challenges that could expand the interpretation of the law, and bog down the military and intelligence agencies in legal work instead of keeping us safe. Far from helping victims and their families after terrible incidents like terrorist attacks, this will mean we are less safe, less well protected - risking ending up with more victims of such atrocities. The Government was forced to pull this Bill before, because it understood that it had created this problem. Ministers had made promises to campaigners that were incompatible with the promises they had made to the intelligence agencies. But now they pretend there is no problem. Desperate for a legacy, Starmer has chosen - and he has chosen to risk our national security. That is shameful, and we will table our own amendments to this Bill - because public protection must come first.

Labour promised campaigners for a new transparency law one thing - and the intelligence agencies another. In his rush for a legacy, Starmer threw the agencies, the military and counter-terror police under the bus. This leaves us more exposed to danger. And Burnham celebrated.

Remember: the police covered up intelligence showing Islamists planned to arm themselves to attack the Israelis. Then fabricated intelligence to blame the Israelis. And then they lied about it.

Under pressure from Islamists and anti-Semites, West Midlands Police lied to justify banning Israeli fans from Villa Park. The scandal brought down the chief constable. These accounts show he was given a £57,800 pay off.

Labour knew what they were doing. Jess Phillips was asked if she knew she was voting to let rapists and sexual abusers out of prison early. Her response: "Absolutely."

Labour want to raise the age of criminal responsibility to fourteen. They want to change sentencing rules so serious criminals get lighter sentences based on their age and responsibility. They are wrong - and we will fight them.

In September Labour will release criminals - including rapists and paedophiles - from prison early. My questions reveal more victims than previously thought are affected. That’s almost 9,000 people. Labour should support our law to stop this now.

Afghans are over TWENTY times more likely to commit sex crimes than Brits. I asked David Lammy to publish all sex offences data by nationality and immigration status. After two months of stalling, he said no. What does he not want the public to know?

Labour refuse to cut welfare to fund our national defence. Instead, at the last minute, they said they would cut the MoJ capital budget. I asked David Lammy what will be cut and what it means for prison expansion. 10 days after he was meant to reply, he still doesn’t know.

Labour’s new law exposes MI5 and others who keep us safe to lawfare. They say it’s ok as they’ll appoint the right people to lead inquiries. But this is the party of Lord Hermer and Shami Chakrabarti.

In one of his last acts as Justice Secretary, David Lammy has put Lynne Berry in charge of selecting judges. It's just been confirmed. She says judges should not be appointed solely on merit. Labour are wrecking our justice system in the name of diversity.

We don't know the motive behind the murder of Ann Widdecombe - and shouldn't speculate. But MPs are talking about "misinformation" and attacking social media. Just like after the murder of David Amess. Instead of changing the subject we should address the threats we face.

You called me a racist in the Commons - and refused to withdraw. You said the “Islamophobia” definition would not be used to silence discussion of religion - you lied. You said defining “Islamophobia” would not be conflated with racism - yet that's what you did. You're right - when people speak, they reveal who they really are.

Complain about British Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square — stay a Tory Shadow Minister. Complain about Badenoch’s disregard for human rights and climate change — lose the Tory whip. When people show you who they are, believe them. x.com/jasongroves1/s…
