🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham goes for a run after announcing his plans to return to Parliament





I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division. We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views. They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

Bristol Migrant Grooming Gang Trial Begins, Judge Imposes Reporting Restrictions. Six young men are currently on trial at Bristol Crown Court accused of being part of a grooming gang network that preyed on multiple young vulnerable British schoolgirls over several years. The defendants, many of them foreign nationals who arrived in the UK as migrants or asylum seekers, face a series of serious charges including multiple rapes, arranging and facilitating the sexual exploitation of young girls, sexual assaults, and supplying Class A drugs like cocaine and ecstasy to their victims. Mohamed Arafe, 19, a Syrian national, is charged with five counts of arranging or facilitating child sexual exploitation, one count of causing or inciting exploitation, one sexual assault, plus drug supply offences. Sina Omari, 20, an Iranian national, faces two counts of rape, multiple exploitation counts, making indecent images of a child, and Class A drug supply. Wadie Sharaf, 21, another Syrian national, is accused of one rape, one attempted rape, three sexual assaults, and sexual activity with a child. Mohammed Kurdi, 21, from Henbury, faces multiple rapes and exploitation charges plus drug supply. Hussain Bashar, 19, from Southmead, is charged with one count of rape. The group also includes others such as Sardam Ahmed, Iraqi background, and Ihab Al-Eisawi, Egyptian, with the trial proceedings starting with six of the original seven charged. All six deny the allegations. The alleged offending spans 2022 to 2025 and involves 11 vulnerable teenage girls in their mid-to-late teens, whom prosecutors say were systematically targeted, given drugs and alcohol, coerced, and passed around for sex in what police described as group based child sexual exploitation. This case and the silence surrounding it resembles the grooming gang scandals that have destroyed families and communities across Britain for over a decade. Over and over again, inquiries have exposed how groups of men, sharing similar cultural and religious backgrounds, exploited working class girls while authorities repeatedly turned a blind eye for fear of being labelled racist. The trial, which began this month and is expected to last around 12 weeks, comes after a major police investigation by Avon & Somerset force. Media outlets including Bristol Live and the Guardian have challenged reporting restrictions, but Judge Moira Macmillan imposed them on May 14, 2026. She acknowledged the significant public interest in grooming gangs and transparency but ruled that full contemporaneous reporting risked prejudicing the jury and contaminating evidence. As a result, while the basic fact of the trial and general nature of the charges can be reported, detailed evidence, and witness testimony remains unreportable. The trial continues. #UKNews #CrimeNews #Bristol

My 5 year old boy does football training. At the end of the session they do a ‘man of the match’ type thing. My boy is always desperate to win it. He often doesn’t. I explained to him the other day that he didn’t win simply because he wasn’t good enough. That he deffo could win, but he just needs to be better, try harder, be more focused etc. One of the other mums heard me & was aghast at what I said. She told me she is going to get ‘runner-up stickers’ for all the kids who don’t make it. I said no thanks, not for my son. Kids need to learn that they can be the best, but they must apply themselves & dust themselves off when it doesn’t go their way. No consolation prizes, no ‘everyone’s a winner’ etc. There are winners & losers. Wanna win - do your best. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, go & smash something else. Play to your strengths & never, ever play the victim. If more parents & institutions had this attitude, the country would be in a better place - if I say so myself 😉 Cc @KonstantinKisin x.com/KonstantinKisi…


I’ve read two articles in just one day on worrying levels of cancer in younger people. We have to start asking very serious questions about hormone disrupting chemicals and plastics in our environment. How many things do we bombard ourselves with that are totally unnecessary?
