BREAKING 🚨 I understand Starmer is to address the nation. The Government are concerned that our society is swelling with hatred, crime and division. The Government need everyone to understand that it is because 1 family is understood to not have yet watched Adolescence

@TheGreenParty @UKTogetherAll I don't understand the common ground you've found between very conservative Muslims who support the Iranian Regime and the LGBTQ community? Feels fake

@Nellitza1 @jamiehogarth @GoodwinMJ crime stats always going to be scewed, people don't bother reporting certain crimes as police do sweet F.A. if you have to make insurance claim depending on what was stolen you will get a crime ref no but that's it! Ask anyone who's car nicked, or house burgled on the outcome

Marks & Spencer just said what everybody else in the country is thinking: “I keep hearing crime is falling, especially in London – something none of us believes, and very few people working in retail would see.”

The Clapham Mob Didn't Appear By Accident The footage from Clapham this week showed something specific: not opportunistic theft, but organised invasion. Dozens of young men moving through shops in coordinated groups, staff powerless, shelves stripped. The Metropolitan Police expects more of it on Saturday. Intelligence suggests the organisers are already planning to move to Crystal Palace to stay ahead of patrols. Shabana Mahmood would like you to believe this is a policing problem. But she commissioned the sentencing review that dismantled deterrence, introduced the legislation as Justice Secretary, then moved to the Home Office in time to receive the consequences in her inbox. Last month, the Sentencing Act came into force. Under its terms, judges and magistrates must treat prison sentences of under one year as a last resort, available only in exceptional circumstances. Ministry of Justice data confirm what that means in practice: 98 per cent of shoplifters currently serving custodial sentences would qualify for community punishments instead. Up to 12,000 of Britain's most prolific retail thieves will avoid jail as a direct consequence. The Government will tell you the evidence supports this approach. Criminals jailed for six months or less reoffend at 59 per cent. Community orders produce a 24 per cent reoffending rate. The numbers are real. The argument is not dishonest. But applying it to prolific shoplifters with fifteen or more previous convictions, already cycling through courts on tags and community behaviour orders, requires a particular kind of wilful blindness. These are not first offenders awaiting rehabilitation. These are people for whom the existing system already had no effective answer, and the new one has even less. The police chiefs said so. Before the Bill passed, the National Police Chiefs Council modelled the consequences. Their projection: a 6 per cent spike in overall offences in year one, translating to 396,000 additional recorded crimes. Gavin Stephens, the NPCC head, was explicit. His own forces were planning for increased offending across every category. Neighbourhood policing and anti-social behaviour responses would suffer as resources shifted to manage the surge. The NPCC asked for an extra £400 million to cope. Parliament was told this. Mahmood's department was told this. The law passed anyway. That sequence matter. Labour did not stumble into the disorder on Clapham High Street. It walked in with its eyes open, accepted the short-term cost on behalf of communities that had no vote on the matter, and called it reform. Marks and Spencer wrote to both Mahmood and Sadiq Khan this week. The letter was not from a campaign group or a tabloid. M&S is Britain's most recognisable high street institution, and its retail director said publicly what every shop worker and security guard in the country already knows: crime is not falling. Criminals are becoming more brazen, more organised and more violent. Staff are frightened. The public is at risk. Khan's response was to call such claims lies. The Government's response was to cite the long-term benefits of rehabilitation. One senior police source described the operational reality with precision: prolific shoplifters act with near impunity because courts never remand them. Catch them, charge them, watch them walk out and do it again. The Sentencing Act has not changed that calculus. For the most persistent offenders, the practical effect is the abolition of consequences. Labour inherited a prison overcrowding crisis. They had choices about how to solve it. They chose this. They were told it would produce more crime. They passed it anyway. The communities absorbing the consequences were not their political problem. "Dozens of young men moving through shops in coordinated groups, staff powerless, shelves stripped. The Metropolitan Police expects more of it on Saturday."

British citizens are calling upon King Charles to ABDICATE amid HUGE backlash following the announcement that he will not be giving an Easter message this year. Should the King ABDICATE the Throne? 👑

Naga Munchetty accused of nasty digs at Carol Kirkwood on her emotional final BBC Breakfast show. After a heartfelt video tribute to the 28-year veteran, Naga smirked: “I’m just waiting for the countdown for you to go!” She then handed Carol a framed Mr Men picture and added sarcastically: “Little Miss Sunshine maybe?” This comes while Naga is under an active BBC bullying investigation, including claims she tore into an intern over Marmite on her toast. Viewers slammed it as “micro-aggression” and “very nasty”. Thoughts? thesun.co.uk/tv/38721468/na…

@redrumlisa Problem is even if someone is convicted of shoplifting or aggravated shoplifting, threatening behaviour do they go to prison or get a tag? Or if they go to prison they are not inside long.... The whole system is weak

Marks and Spencer shifting that narrative and moving the Overton window away from crime is down & we are the safest we have ever been. As they said no one believed that we all know what has happened to our towns, cities & high streets they are collapsing under the weight of organised crime, people with poor mental health & people with addictions wandering, homeless camps & thievery, drug dealing & kids with knives.

A View From Yorkshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
In modern Britain, the most dangerous thing you can be… is normal. You get up, go to work, pay your taxes, don’t rob anyone, don’t smash anything, don’t glue yourself to a motorway… and for your efforts? Congratulations—you’ve unlocked Hard Mode. No perks. No fast-track lane. No “priority support.” Just a direct debit and a polite reminder that you’re funding absolutely everything. Work hard? Taxed. Try to get ahead? Taxed again. Finally breathe out? Careful—someone’s probably drafting a levy for that too. Meanwhile, if you’re loud enough, disruptive enough, or fall into the right category of “needs attention this week,” suddenly the doors swing open, the language softens, and the system bends over backwards like it’s auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. And you’re sat there thinking—hang on… I did everything right. Was that the mistake? Because the quiet, law-abiding, tax-paying majority aren’t celebrated… they’re assumed. Relied on. Squeezed. You’re not the priority—you’re the funding model. And the better you behave, the less anyone notices… until the bill lands. So no—you’re not the enemy of the state. But if you ever stop playing along, you might suddenly realise just how much of it was built on you quietly saying nothing.

No wonder Sadiq Khan believes that London is safe when he travels in a bulletproof Range Rover and has armed police officers around him. Not like the rest of the plebs.

Bathroom window and shower curtain. Was in my bathroom onboard last night and loved how the streetlights looked through the frosted glass and how the light just caught the edge of the shower curtain. So I took a photo.
