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.

Does this silly little man not understand that Islam is a very aggressive belief system, threatening death to anyone who does not convert to Islam The Buddhists, the Taoists, the Scottish Presbyterians, the Hindus and the Sikhs and the Confucians and the Catholics don't go around shouting about beheading people they disagree with Is this too much for your tiny little brain to take in ? Oh. The doorbell rang. The police I assume...

@henrywinter If Tuchel doesn't believe Trent is going to get in his side, where's the problem? He is picking HIS squad, not yours!

Ben White's return to the England fold after his lengthy self-imposed exile borders on the insulting to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who continues to be overlooked by Thomas Tuchel at right-back. Reece James injured, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier retired internationally and now the withdrawal of Jarell Quansah (seen as right-back cover by Tuchel). And Alexander-Arnold still not called. Real Madrid's right-back in the Champions League. A player whose passing can change games. A tournament shootout penalty-taker. White drafted into squad because of injury to Quansah. Be interesting to see the reaction of England fans - let alone Alexander-Arnold. White has to explain why he turned his back on England for three and a half years. Expect some skilled FA video content. Gareth Southgate said in March 2024 that White had indicated to him that he didn't want to be considered for England. There's always been speculation about a fall-out between White and Southgate's assistant Steve Holland (Southgate denied this). Tuchel clearly doesn't rate Alexander-Arnold, a situation that gets ever stranger. White obviously a more defensive full-back; can get forward but lacks Alexander-Arnold's impact. He did well when coming on for Dani Carvajal against Atletico last night. Made Vinicius Junior's second goal. Harvey Barnes, who has one cap, comes in for the injured Eberechi Eze for the squad to face Uruguay on Friday and Japan on March 31. #ENG

The richest man in Africa (and the world) assembled a caravan at the city of Niani in Mali and began walking to Mecca. The round trip would cover 4,000 miles, take nearly two years, and involve a logistical operation so staggering in scale that Arabic historians who witnessed it spent decades trying to find the right words to describe what they had seen. Mansa Musa, the ninth ruler of the Mali Empire, traveled with an entourage of 60,000 people. Five hundred slaves marched at the front of the procession, each carrying a gold staff weighing six pounds. Behind them came 100 camels each loaded with 300 pounds of gold dust, followed by hundreds more camels carrying food, textiles, and provisions for the journey ahead. Contemporary Arab writers documented the preparations in detail, noting that Musa had levied special contributions from every trading town and every province in his empire before departure, essentially taxing an entire civilization to fund a single religious journey. The royal drums sounded at Niani and 60,000 people began walking north toward the Sahara. The food logistics of feeding that many people across one of the most hostile environments on earth for nearly two years are almost impossible to grasp from a modern vantage point. The camels that were not carrying gold were carrying provisions. Goats, cows, and horses traveled with the caravan as walking food sources, slaughtered and consumed as the procession moved through terrain where nothing could be foraged or purchased. Musa built a new mosque at every Friday stop along the route, which tells you something about the pace of travel and the organizational capacity required to keep 60,000 people moving, fed, and sheltered across thousands of miles of desert. The caravan had to plan water stops, manage animal feed across different climates, and coordinate a supply chain that dwarfed anything the European world of 1324 was capable of imagining. When the procession arrived in Cairo in July 1324 the city effectively stopped functioning. The Egyptian scholar Al-Umari, who visited Cairo shortly after Musa's departure and interviewed people who had witnessed the arrival firsthand, recorded that the markets of Cairo were overwhelmed by the entourage's spending, that merchants had raised their prices to exploit visitors who were clearly unfamiliar with local rates, and that the Cairene population had never seen anything like it. Musa showered gold on the poor he met along every street. He gave gifts to the Sultan, to the city's officials, to scholars and mosque builders, to anyone who crossed his path. He gave away so much gold in Cairo and spent so freely in the markets that the value of gold dinar in Egypt crashed by 20 percent. According to one Egyptian reporter whose account was preserved and cited across multiple later historical sources, the Cairo gold market had been so saturated with Malian gold that it still had not fully recovered twelve years after Mansa Musa's caravan passed through. One man's generosity on a religious pilgrimage had single-handedly destabilized the economy of one of the most powerful cities in the medieval world for over a decade. When Musa returned from Mecca he had spent so much gold that his supply was exhausted and he had to borrow money from Cairo merchants to fund the journey home. The richest ruler on the continent, traveling with 100 camels worth of gold dust at the start of the journey, had given it all away. He came home with scholars, architects, and books. He brought back the Andalusian architect Abu Ishaq al-Sahili, who had been paid 440 pounds of gold, slaves, and a plot of land along the Niger River to leave Cairo and travel to Mali. Al-Sahili built the Djinguereber Mosque in Timbuktu, which still stands today, and helped transform the city into one of the greatest centers of Islamic learning in the medieval world. #archaeohistories

Nick Timothy is a good bloke and a brave MP. He took the time to attend our rape gang inquiry - not many politicians did that, at all. Nick showed a lot of courage this week. I support him.

Britain is not an Islamic country, yet. We should not change our way of life to accommodate practices that have no place in any civilised society - sharia law, the burqa, halal slaughter, cousin marriage and more. Britain is a Christian country, and under a Restore Britain Government it would remain that way. We would not tolerate mass dominating Islamic prayer overtaking public spaces, entire schools would not be closed for Eid. None of this is controversial. None of this should generate hysteria. But of course it will. If a Muslim wants to live under sharia law, there are many countries to choose from. I wish them well on their travels. But this is Britain, and we have already tolerated the intolerable for too long. That must end. There is finally a political party that has the courage to unapologetically stand up and defend the British way of life - one that is absolutely rooted in Christianity. That party is Restore Britain.

Berlin has just imposed INSANE immigration quotas on the judiciary system. Now 40% of candidates for judges and prosecutors must have an immigrant origin. Is that so they can just let all the migrant criminals off easily without any repercussions at all? How the hell is this not a systematic version of racial replacement of Germans? Do the Germans ever plan on fighting back?

THE WOVEN ROBOT! Wow! The woven robot hand is here and it is absolutely game-changing. Allonic just braided thousands of tendon-like fibers around a 3D-printed skeleton in minutes. No joints. No screws. No human assembly. Pure biomimetic tissue that flexes, grips, and lasts like biology itself. This isn’t incremental. This is the breakthrough that collapses robot hand costs from $30,000 to pennies. The old world of expensive, fragile robotic limbs is over. Now humanoid robots can build more of themselves scalable, replicable, anywhere. Robots building Robots building Robots, yeah you get it. In your freaking garage! Massive opportunities are about to explode as work as we know it fades. Rent one, have it build your fleet, send it back, repeat. Thousands if you want. The age of woven machines begins.
