First Secretary Starmer will provide no help whatsoever. He is anti American, anti Israel, anti military. He has personally provided free legal services in fake abuse cases against British servicemen. He also wants prosecutions against 1970s Veterans for following legal orders when deploying in Northern Ireland.

It's great that allies are helping. And both France and UK have aircraft carriers that could help. But let's not forget that Europe was a LOT more concerned with keeping the Red Sea open than Biden was... yet, collectively, not once were they able to deploy more than 3 warships at a time.

@BarristersHorse Did he even hold a current Security Clearance? If he did not, it will be a breach of the Official Secrets Act 1989 1(3) "if WITHOUT OFFICIAL AUTHORITY he makes a damaging disclosure of any information or document".

Just wondering what necessary powers Jonathan Powell held to negotiate with Mauritius given he wasn't in government or the CS at the time? It seems to me no right exists under Art. 7 of the Vienna Convention on the law of treaties?

In an unlikely twist, Skeleton racer Matt Weston cites Keir Starmer as his inspiration for his two gold medals. "He taught me everything I know about making things go downhill fast!"

What a contrast between the two World Champions widely tipped to win gold. In Skeleton, Matt Weston handled the pressure and improved every run. In Figure Skating, Ilia Malinin could not handle his own hype- no seven quads, no quad axle, dreadful execution and no podium!

What a crazy end to the men's figure skating. All the top skaters had awful free skate routines making many mistakes. The worst performer was the hot favourite Ilia Malinin, hubris catching up with the self styled "Quad God". No matter how talented, you have to nail it on the day.

Gold for Great Britain @TeamGB well done Matt Weston bronze for Lord Northesk 1928 and John Crammond in 1948 but never before has a British man won gold in this event. Amy Williams and Lizzy Yarnold the previous British champions. in skeleton

Brilliant run from Matt Weston to take gold in the most dominant fashion imaginable. All the riders deserve medals for going down that track, but the smooth control was exceptional.

It is clear there have been widespread crimes against humanity. Please forward the final report to every member of the ICJ. Then hopefully at least one nation will request an investigation into the UK. The politicians, police and council officers who covered up the abuse, then stand a chance of being held accountable.

I want to see senior police officers in prison. With the evidence we are collecting, there is simply no way hundreds of men and women right at the top of their forces were not aware of the rapes. Hundreds, if not more. Politicians, police, council officials, NHS, social care - all of them. If they knew, and did nothing. They shouldn’t just be sacked, they should be prosecuted. A lot of people need to go to prison.

A few reflections on our first week of inquiry hearings. Firstly, and I’ll be entirely honest, it’s harder than I thought it would be. I cannot adequately describe the evil that these girls have gone through. Rape doesn’t do it justice. It’s torture, it’s abduction, it’s war. What strikes me is the consistency of the testimonies. It’s the same playbook, almost every time. We suspect there is FAR more coordination than is currently understood. Far more. The same names come up, with the same tactics, in the same towns. They are organised. More organised than we know. It’s almost like a well-drilled army. And it continues today, make no mistake about that. What’s so difficult is that the men use both physical and psychological torture to beat these girls into submission. They accept it. They believe it’s the right thing for them. That’s what makes it so wicked for families. Some have been fortunate, escaping or being extracted. But how many haven’t? How many remain trapped, today? Some even overseas. How many girls have been abducted to Pakistan? Where honestly, the thought of their life there is too much to even start to comprehend. One woman we spoke to was raped by 600 - 700 men in England. What would be happening to them there? The systemic failures across the police, NHS, social care, local politics, councils - specific and brutal examples of how these officials just did not care. Even worse, actively enabled the rape. Of course the girls hold such deep hatred for their rapists, but actually for many the true anger is aimed at the state. I understand that. These were the people tasked to defend them, and they failed in the most brutal way. As I have said, we are identifying targets for private prosecutions and other legal action - this will cover the rapists, accomplices and public officials who deliberately turned the other way, or worse. One message is clear - the Muslim community needs to do far more to root these people out. I don’t believe the reaction is anywhere near strong enough. We had one testimony this week of the imam being fully aware of what was happening, but did nothing. This comes up again and again. Nobody wants to say it, but it’s true. I want to see these so-called ‘community leaders’ very vocally act. The vast scale of the rape is impossible to comprehend. It was everywhere. It is everywhere. These are just my thoughts, but everything will be put into a comprehensive report by our legal team. It’s been a challenging week for the team, and I want to say thank you to all involved - particularly our safeguarding team who are working all hours to ensure the survivors have the support they need. Everything we are releasing has the full permission of the individuals involved, and we are taking absolutely zero risks with any release. The safety and wellbeing of the participants is our only priority. Thank you to all of our donors who made this possible, and those who continue to give. It is appreciated. It will be well spent, I promise you that. And to the survivors who have put themselves forward to stop the same fate happening to others - you’re doing more good than you will ever know.

I’ll try again — please list the billions of pounds of Chinese investment you’ve secured for Britain after your trip. Thanks.
Peter Kyle@peterkyle

Back from my visit to China with @Keir_Starmer feeling optimistic. We’ve secured billions of pounds of investment and export deals for the UK. Including tariffs halved on Scotch whisky. That’s investment that will be felt by communities across the country.

Starmer wasn’t allowed to visit China until he had approved the new embassy/espionage hub in London. He came back with peanuts (£250m over 5 years) & vague assurances about cooperation. The Chinese went through the diplomatic motions and gave him nothing. They’re laughing at him.
Pat Condell@patcondell

The Chinese have humiliated Starmer. He’s a global laughing stock. I’ve never seen anyone in politics so clearly out of their depth. Not even Trudeau.

President Trump visiting the Forbidden City, received a personal tour from President Xi. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was merely given a low level interpreter to accompany him. Keir Starmer is being mocked in China and Britain for the insult delivered by China.

@benonwine You almost feel sorry for Winnie the Pooh. He is in hiding after his top general nearly kills him and has purged the army. The only way it could get any worse is if Two Tier Rodney visits him! Hope the bear purges his dud agent for the Chagos failure!

@RupertLowe10 Is there scope to bring a private prosecution against her (and all the other council leaders who are denying the British people their democratic rights) for fraud and misconduct in a public office?

Wow. The Conservative Leader of Norfolk County Council has said that I can (her words) "bitch and moan" as much as I like, but the "hard truth" was the council did not have the capacity to deliver elections and other work. Yes, I will bitch and moan. Why? Because the Tories have stolen the vote from my constituents. THEIR vote. Their right. It's outrageous. Hold the elections. IT'S YOUR JOB. The Tories want this to just go away. It will NOT. I am currently liaising with the local police about holding a demonstration in Great Yarmouth against this - likely on February 14th around midday. Final details to come soon. I am furious. The arrogance of these people is astounding.
