This case really disturbed me in several ways. Liana was a 16 year old refugee from Ukraine, training to be a dental assistant in Germany. Last August she was struck by a train in Friedland, Germany which was travelling at 100km/hr. She died. Police found fingerprints on her shoulder and arrested a 31 year old Iraqi man, Muhammad A, for pushing her into the train’s path. Sadly this man should never have been in Germany. His asylum request had been denied years before and he had a deportation order but had never been deported. How many others remain in Europe who have had their deportation orders? So what do you think his punishment was? Well, the prosecutors decided not to try him. They said his schizophrenia made him not criminally liable for his actions. So he has been placed in a psychiatric hospital and will be released when considered “well”.

I am pleased to have Jacob Rees-Mogg’s support for my legal action against an administrative body related to Parliament - my argument is aimed at empowering elected MPs over unelected officials. On Tuesday 17 March my Barrister, Christopher Newman, and I were in the Administrative Court in London at a hearing in front of High Court Judge Martin Chamberlain. It is a significant case for the power of parliament, and therefore the power of the voters. As the MP for Great Yarmouth, I am seeking to challenge the legality of the processes of the ‘Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme’, also known as the ICGS - importantly, it is entirely legally separate from Parliament. The scheme’s genesis is driven by the ‘Me Too’ movement in 2018. The ICGS are seeking to use the doctrine of ‘Parliamentary Privilege’ to assert that they are, in effect, beyond the scrutiny of the law. Parliamentary privilege exists to allow MPs to do our job away from legal threats, it does not exist to protect bureaucratic bodies. As Jacob Rees-Mogg, former Leader of the House of Commons, points out in his analysis: “As the ICGS is independent, it cannot in its workings be a Commons body, as it would then not be independent. It is really very straightforward and Rupert Lowe seems to be right." This is arguably the most significant constitutional case in years with the ICGS now arguing the polar opposite of the position the state took in the case of R v Chaytor where MPs unsuccessfully tried to use Parliamentary Privilege to avoid prosecution for abuse of expense claims. ICGS staff are not legally qualified, and this administrative body is outside the orbit of the Chamber and has no link to MPs. It has not reported to a Parliamentary Committee of MPs since 2020 when all links were severed and a panel was inserted. It is our argument that this body cannot claim to be above the law - it is not right that a bureaucratic body separate from Parliament is attempting to use parliamentary privilege, designed for elected politicians, to avoid reasonable scrutiny. Rees-Mogg ends his article: “Thus if Lowe wins, he will not have harmed Parliament, but defended it. For through cowardice we – and I was an MP at the time – abdicated our privileged responsibility and gave it to unelected boffins, who are not so much better than elected politicians after all, but much harder to eject.” We expect a Judgment after Easter, around 14 April 2026.

🚨NEW: The UK is to send another £752 MILLION and 120,000 drones to Ukraine 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 Reminder that just yesterday, UK military chiefs were told to “find” £3.5 BILLION worth of savings, whilst simultaneously the government is saying to “prepare for war” WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON, HOW INCOMPETENT CAN THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT BE❓

🚨La Mairie de Paris est en train de créer une IMMENSE CRISE du logement. Quand j'ai alerté pendant la campagne municipale, les socialistes ont dit que j'exagérais. Aujourd'hui, Le Figaro titre sur les propriétaires qui fuient la capitale : « Notre seule liberté, c'est de se sauver. » 📉 Pourquoi ? Parce que le Maire de Paris vient de décider D'AMPLIFIER le SACCAGE du marché immobilier parisien : 💸 Doublement de la taxe sur les logements vacants 🏠 Accélération des PRÉEMPTIONS (rachat forcé de logements privés par la Mairie) pour atteindre 40 % de logements sociaux (contre 25 % aujourd'hui) 🏷️ Nouvelle taxe sur les résidences secondaires 💰 Dans une capitale où la taxe foncière a déjà triplé, faisant augmenter les prix des loyers +9,1% en 3 ans ! 🔒 Où l'encadrement des loyers n'a fait qu'accentuer cette hausse, en entraînant la perte de plus de 50 000 logements sur le marché locatif. 🚪 Où le DPE prive chaque jour de nouveaux locataires d'un toit. Chaque mesure chasse un peu plus de propriétaires. Chaque taxe vide un peu plus d'appartements. Chaque dispositif rend les locataires plus vulnérables sur le marché locatif. La spirale est sans fin. 🔴 La gauche ne veut pas loger les Parisiens. Elle veut posséder Paris. Et quand la fuite est le dernier espace de liberté possible, on vit bel et bien en système socialiste.

Very well deserved!

Horrific news on the markets. Everything is already just so expensive for British families, and with oil prices soaring? It’s going to get worse. A lot worse. We should be honest about the consequences of the Iran war. Petrol is going to get more expensive. A lot more expensive. What does that do? Drive up the cost of everything. Inflation. More and more inflation. The markets are in turmoil. Life is going to get yet more costly in our country. It’s reported that petrol may go through the all-time high of 191.5p per litre. Brutal. Absolutely brutal. Who is going to suffer? British men and women. Is this a surprise, after what’s happened in Iran? No, no it is not. What did they all think would happen? Tony Blair, Farage and many others want Britain to dive headfirst into this war, but that is not the right decision and we should have the courage to say so. That is what Restore Britain did on day one. If Britain starts dropping bombs, how many of these Iranian illegal migrants that have already invaded our country are poised to act? To disrupt? To kill? There will be many more attempting the crossing. Terrorists? Spies? Soldiers? It’s just a fact. Plenty will already be in hotels across the country. Endless foreign wars do not serve the British people. When Tony Blair is urging intervention in the Middle East, that should tell us exactly what we need to know. That man is a danger and a disgrace. But the immediate crisis is the soaring cost of living crisis that is about to get a lot worse thanks to the oil price and shipping disruption. And it is a crisis. So much is impacted. Major issues for farming, industry, everything. Given our pathetic reliance on imports, Britain is spectacularly vulnerable. Reeves must urgently slash fuel duty to protect British motorists, and everyone else. Because British families are going to really suffer over the coming days and weeks. That’s just the reality now. All British political parties need to start taking decisions that will solely benefit the British people. That is exactly what Restore Britain is doing. British people first, every single time. I fear we are about to endure a very challenging and a very expensive period. British men and women simply cannot afford it. Reeves must act and cut fuel duty. This must now urgently happen.

NHS CEO SACKED FOR TRYING TO PROTECT CANCER PATIENTS John Watkinson raised concerns about gastrointestinal cancer care at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust @RCHTWeCare. In April 2009, he was dismissed. His crime? Refusing to let the NHS South West Strategic Health Authority quietly move a cancer service to Plymouth without legally required public consultation. He even obtained legal advice confirming a consultation was mandatory. The SHA called that advice "a severe irritant." So they got rid of the irritant. The board was told that if they did not go along with suspending Watkinson, the non-executive directors themselves would be removed and replaced with a more cooperative group. The former RCHT Chair described that as tantamount to bullying. The SHA denied everything. The employment tribunal in 2010 was not impressed. It found the appeal process was "a travesty of anything approaching basic concepts of fairness." The dismissal "flew in the face of any concept of fairness." Watkinson had been automatically unfairly dismissed for making a protected disclosure. He won. The Health Secretary then ordered an independent review into why it all happened. That review was published in January 2011. It was 175 pages long. Watkinson was 54 years old, unemployed, and had his house on the market. The SHA boss who oversaw the whole thing, Sir Ian Carruthers, had previously served as acting Chief Executive of the NHS. He also chaired the panel that recommended a knighthood for the man tasked with reviewing his conduct. You honestly cannot make this up. This is what happens when you tell the NHS something inconvenient. They do not argue with you. They just make you disappear. Source: gov.uk/government/pub…

✨The Iranian man who saved more Jewish lives than Oskar Schindler.✨ In the dark days of 1940, Nazi tanks rolled into Paris. Most diplomats fled. But one man stayed behind. His name was Abdolhossein Sardari, an Iranian consul from a noble family in Tehran. He was a Muslim. He was alone in the occupied city, with no orders from home and no backup. Iranian Jews living in France were suddenly in mortal danger. The Nazis marked them for death like every other Jew. Sardari refused to look away. He started by issuing new Iranian passports that simply left out any mention of religion. That small change gave families a fighting chance to move freely. But he went much further. Sardari used every trick of diplomacy and law he knew. He wrote letters arguing that these Iranian Jews, known as Jugutis, were not "real" Jews in the Nazi racial sense. They were Persians. They were Aryans by blood, he claimed, who had only adopted the faith of Moses centuries ago. He twisted the Nazis' own twisted logic against them. The Germans bought it enough to grant exemptions. Thanks to Sardari, hundreds of families were spared the yellow star, the roundups, and the trains to the camps. When that was not enough, he began issuing Iranian passports to non-Iranian Jews as well, hundreds of them, often using blank documents from the consulate safe. He sheltered desperate families inside the embassy building itself. When embassy funds ran dry, he spent his own money. He risked his career, his freedom, and his life every single day. One wrong move and the Gestapo would have taken him. By the end of the war, Abdolhossein Sardari is believed to have saved between 2,000 and 3,000 Jewish lives. After the war he returned to Iran, lived quietly, and never bragged about what he had done. When asked years later why he helped, he gave a simple answer: "It was my duty." In a time of pure evil, one brave Iranian diplomat chose humanity. His story reminds us that courage and decency can shine even in the heart of darkness. Never forget the quiet heroes who stood up when the world looked away.

Plaid want self-ID in Wales, letting anyone change legal sex by declaration alone, with no checks or safeguards. Plaid's position is catastrophic for Welsh women and girls. In addition to their open borders policy, inviting illegal immigrants. PLAID ARE DANGEROUS! ⚠️

Comment🇺🇸🇬🇧: UK VISAS To Mauritius Fraudster PM For Chagos: In light of the 'Chagos Deal' implosion, UK PM Starmer and the Attorney General for England and Wales Lord Hermer have a plethora of serious questions to answer, or face international reprisals. Republican Senator for Louisiana John Kennedy, exposes a suspected 'payoff' to disgraced' former Mauritius PM and convicted money launderer Pravind Jugnauth. Amongst the ill-gotten gains discovered during a Mauritius police raid were, UK visas, a bevy of Rolex watches and £25 million in used bank notes divided into various currencies. Who from the Home Office and Foreign Office issued the visas to Jugnauth, when and why? The timeline and signatories will help both the Trump Administration and UK taxpayers discover the true aspirations of Starmer, Hermer and their CCP controlled handlers. Source: @SenJohnKennedy

Our asylum system is an expensive and dangerous joke. When did it become accepted that total fantasy was someone’s “reality”? “"There is no check-up to find out if the person is a gay… You just have to tell them that 'I am a gay and it is my reality'.” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Once Again, The Woke Lefty Brigade Makes Everything About RACE! 😡 Kevin Maguire on GMB just called Robert Jenrick's call to deport Axel Rudakubana's parents "odious, vile and racist" – claiming it's a threat to "every black and brown person in Britain". What a dishonest, face-baiting fool! This has nothing to do with the colour of their skin. We welcomed Rudakubana's parents into this country as asylum seekers, and they failed spectacularly. They knew their son was dangerous – knives delivered to the home, threats of violence, obsession with killing, and they did nothing to stop it. They could have prevented the slaughter of three little girls in Southport. The recent inquiry lays it out: catastrophic parental failures, withheld information, no boundaries. That's unforgivable! Any decent parent – white, black, brown or anything else – who harbours that level of risk to innocent kids deserves to lose the goodwill of this nation and face deportation. Full stop. It would be exactly the same if the family was white. The parents deserve zero sympathy and every bit of criticism coming their way. Stop putting the "rights" of monsters over the safety of our children. That, Kevin, is truly vile and odious.

SHE WATCHED PATIENTS STARVE NHS TOLD HER TO SHUT UP Helene Donnelly @DonnellyHelene was a nurse in the A&E department at Stafford Hospital. From 2007 she started raising concerns. Patients left in soiled sheets. Denied food. Denied pain relief. Waiting times being quietly falsified so the trust could hit its targets. She filed nearly 100 complaints. Her reward? Colleagues threatened her. She was scared to walk to her car after night shifts. When she went to her Royal College of Nursing rep for support, he told her to "keep her head down." She later found out he was also representing the sister she had complained about. She described feeling completely on her own. She left a few months later. The things she was reporting were not rumours. The public inquiry that followed eventually attributed between 400 and 1,200 avoidable deaths at that hospital between 2006 and 2009. Four hundred to twelve hundred people. The range alone tells you how chaotic the record-keeping was. Donnelly was called "a most impressive and courageous witness" by the inquiry. She was awarded an OBE in 2014. She went on to pioneer the role of Freedom to Speak Up Guardian and advise the United Nations on whistleblower protection in healthcare. She did everything right. And the institution spent years making her life difficult for it. @NHS did not collapse because of one bad hospital. It collapsed at Stafford because reporting bad care was more dangerous than delivering it. That is a culture that protects hierarchy over patients, and punishes the people honest enough to say so. The inquiry happened. The OBE was awarded. The Freedom to Speak Up scheme was created. And NHS whistleblowers are still being ignored, dismissed, and pushed out today.

En France, en 2026, une victime ne peut pas faire appel d'une décision de justice pénale. Seuls le mis en cause et le procureur ont ce droit mais pas la victime, sa famille et les associations qui la représentent. Concrètement, cela signifie qu'un agresseur peut faire appel d'une condamnation (et obtenir une peine réduite) alors que la victime, elle, n'a aucun recours si la sanction lui paraît trop faible. C'est une inégalité profonde vécu par des centaines de milliers de personnes. Des avocats, des professeurs de droit, des magistrats, des proches de victimes et @pierremarieseve, directeur de l'Institut pour la Justice, ont signé une lettre ouverte au Garde des Sceaux publiée dans Le Figaro. Les victimes doivent accéder au procès pénal à égalité avec les autres parties et donc pouvoir faire appel de la décision du juge. Lire la tribune ici : lefigaro.fr/vox/societe/la… @ChEocheDuval

There are FAR too many NHS workers dealing with patients, in person or on the phone, who are entirely incapable of stringing a sentence together in acceptable English. How the hell has this been allowed to happen? Dangerous incompetence. This is England. You speak English.

NHS SPENT £857K PROVING THEY WERE WRONG Dr Kevin Beatt @drbeatt built Croydon University Hospital's @croydonhealth cardiology unit from nothing. Then he did something the NHS apparently cannot tolerate. He told the truth. He warned about dangerous equipment, nursing shortages, and bullying. Nobody acted. In June 2011, a senior nurse was suspended mid-procedure without his knowledge. A 63-year-old man, Gerald Storey, died on the table. The coroner confirmed the suspension contributed to his death. Beatt raised the alarm formally and repeatedly. The Trust sacked him for gross misconduct. Reported him to the GMC. Issued a press statement the tribunal later found was deliberately designed to destroy his reputation. Then they spent public money trying to make it stick. The Employment Tribunal ruled against them. Landmark judgment. No misconduct. No ulterior motive. Unfairly dismissed for whistleblowing. The Trust appealed. Lost. Appealed again. Lost. Tried the Supreme Court. Refused. Final bill to taxpayers: £857,110 in compensation. Plus years of legal costs. Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt, Health Secretary at the time, called it a matter for the trust's board and walked away. The managers responsible faced zero consequences. This is the template. @NHS trusts have learned that burying a whistleblower in legal processes, exhausting their finances, and waiting long enough means most people give up. Dr Beatt did not give up. He won. And it cost him everything anyway. If institutions will not protect the people who protect patients, we have to. Share this. Because somewhere right now a doctor is deciding whether it is worth the risk to speak up.

FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN SERVICE IS BEING INVESTIGATED. SHARE THIS NOW. Not all of you know this, but before I fought back against an insurer that tried to defraud me and is still trying, I spent six weeks reading roughly 300 published Financial Ombudsman Service @financialombuds decisions. Every evening after work. I wanted to understand how they think, what language they respond to, what patterns repeat across cases. During those six weeks I had an idea. Classify individual Ombudsmen by decision pattern. Cross-reference with complaints data, Trustpilot reviews, everything publicly available. Build a picture of who was deciding fairly and who was not. I never did it. The scale was too great for one person working alone. Gary Smith @G8GWS is now doing exactly that. Not with 300 decisions. With thousands.. He is publishing what he finds, one episode at a time, every Wednesday. - Named investigators. - Named Ombudsmen. - Full career backgrounds. - Full case timelines. All on the record. This is not a blog. This is not a campaign page. This is a structured, legally-backed investigation run by the lawyer who already beat the Financial Ombudsman Service in the High Court, and who is preparing to do it again through the FOS Litigation Group judicial review. The FOS Files. The FLG. The judicial review. Three things running together. Each one making the others stronger. I want to ask everyone reading this to do one thing today. Share this post. Not for me. For your parents who were told their claim was out of time when it was not. For your neighbour who accepted a rejection letter because they did not know they could push back. For anyone who trusted a system that was never designed to work in their favour. Every share puts this in front of someone who may not know they have options. Every new case that reaches Gary strengthens the legal bundle going into the judicial review. Every person who speaks up makes it harder for this institution to keep operating in the dark. If you have had a complaint dismissed by the Financial Ombudsman Service, contact Gary Smith at Meridian Legal Services directly. 0121 516 0675 @MeridianLegals This is how it changes. All of us. Together.
