Never mind the politics. Never mind what it means for the Labour leadership. Ponder the seriousness of the claim which John Healey and Al Carns are making. Britain can no longer defend itself adequately.

🚨As I write, African males who arrived in the UK illegally and have a history of attacking women are being granted leave to remain. It’s so insane no one can believe it. It’s true. Men from Sudan, Eritrea, Afghan cannot have asylum claims rejected. Because human rights.

This is happening all over the country including in my town. Afghan families given lovely spacious accommodation beyond the pocket of local families. Disgraceful. Unfair.

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

Remember the murder of Stephen Oake? Perhaps you don’t. It was in the news at the time, but it was nothing like as huge a story as the tragedy of Henry Nowak or the horrible maiming of Stephen Ogilvie in Belfast. There were no marches, no protests, no agonised debates about immigration. Yet the case was, objectively, every bit as significant as the more recent horrors. DC Oake was stabbed to death by Kamel Bourgass, an Algerian national who had arrived in Britain on the back of a lorry three years earlier, and had become radicalised through the terrorist network Al-Muhajiroun. Why wasn’t his death a bigger deal? Oake was a brave man who died in the line of duty. His murderer was an illegal immigrant. There was a religious radicalisation angle. The answer, I think, is that Oake died in 2003, when our media and political leaders did not consider it quite proper to dwell on stories about white men being killed by immigrants. Making too much of a fuss was said to “stoke far-Right narratives”. What we are seeing now is partly the result of decades of repression, deflection and dissembling, a breakdown in trust between the old media and the country at large. That is what makes it so bitter.

Iain Dale left stunned by calm caller on LBC A composed caller named Mike told Iain Dale on LBC that Britain “will remain almost ungovernable until we have mass deportations”. The exchange was striking because the caller spoke in measured tones, clearly articulating a view held by millions of people across the country. Yet Iain struggled to process it, repeatedly falling back on “you can’t do that”. Mike highlighted the obvious disconnect: the British public have consistently voted for lower immigration, only for politicians to deliver record levels instead. “There’s a massive disconnect between the political class and the people of this country,” he said. “We never gave any consent to this and there’s certainly no mandate for the scale of immigration we’ve seen.” When Iain pushed back, saying you can’t deport people here perfectly legally, the caller was unflinching: Caller: “You mean end indefinite leave to remain?” Iain: “You can do that for future people but you can’t do that for people who have already got it. That would be outrageous.” Caller: “Yeah you can. Of course you can.” Iain: “From a fairness point of view, you can’t suddenly tell people who’ve got a perfect legal right to be here that we’re changing the rules now…” Caller: “You can, Iain.” Iain: “Well you can do that but is that really the kind of country you want to live in?” Caller: “Yes!” Iain continued to argue that you can’t “take it out on perfectly legal, law-abiding people”, clearly unable to grasp how widespread this frustration has become. The public didn’t always feel this way. Years of politicians ignoring the public on immigration have shifted attitudes dramatically. As the caller made clear, people never voted for this transformation and the consequences of fixing it now rest with those who created the problem. Well worth a listen. The gap between Westminster and the rest of the country has rarely been clearer.

Over 40,000 illegal migrants in past 12 months. Top 5 nationalities: Eritrean, Afghan, Sudanese, Iranian, Somali. How many rapists, beheaders, IRGC or Muslim Brotherhood terrorists are now loose among us, all fed, housed and bankrolled by British taxpayers? Spineless governments have betrayed us for years. How many more British girls have to be raped, Brits stabbed or beheaded before they STOP THE BOATS? Genuine question.

What becomes immediately clear 48-hours after every atrocity in the UK — the Manchester Islamist bombing, Lee Rigby, David Amess, Southport, Henry Nowak, Belfast — is how drunk the political class is on suicidal empathy. They must always show empathy to minorities and outsiders before displaying any genuine concern for their own people, the majority. To them, you are “far-right”, “toxic”, “divisive”. You are a problem, to be stigmatised, but never to be taken seriously. You can register your dissent, but only to a point. And only so long as it can be managed. Because if you protest, if you genuinely display any righteous anger, then you threaten the entire system, and “the narrative”. And the grievance? It is never to be seriously addressed. Only pushed to one side. It morphs into utterly ridiculous and tangential debates about “social media”, “big tech”, “not looking back in anger”, “reclaiming the flag”, “tolerance”, “diversity”. Anything but the real cause aka Islamism, mass immigration, broken borders. These people have abdicated their responsibility and role as custodians of the nation. They very clearly do not care about you or the country. We are merely an afterthought. An inconvenience to be managed. All they want to do is show empathy to others, to people from outside our community, even if they end up destroying our country from within. And that, ironically, is the road towards all the chaos and division they warn the rest of us about.

@afneil Will those in SW1 and the media who should hold them to account deliver or do we need to rely upon Trump or Vance to expose their lies?

While we still wait on Labour government defence spending plans (the Defence Investment Plan — DIP) to finance last year’s Strategic Defence Review (SDR), let’s keep in mind these salient points when it eventually appears: 1. The current £28 billion shortfall in defence spending over the next four years has nothing to do with implementing the SDR. The £28 billion is simply what’s needed to meet current defence commitments/plans. 2. So funding for SDR would have to be on top of the £28 billion — which would mean tens of billions more over the next five or so years into the early 2030s. 3. The extra money now being floated as what the government is likely to announce — £13.5 billion over four years — wouldn’t even cover half the shortfall never mind produce a penny for the SDR. It’s a pittance compared with what’s required. 4. We currently spend 2.4% GDP on defence (and even that is boosted by some statistical sleights of hand). The only current concrete plan is to go to 2.5/6% in the next financial year. Now the Treasury is saying it doesn’t even want to set 3% as a target before 2034/35 — by which time if Reeves-Starmer-Treasury have their way we will be a minor player in military matters. 5 This government is dishonest the best of times. I fear we’re about to discover that when it comes to the defence of the realm — its primary duty as a government — it is a serial liar.

@AllisonPearson @magee_win And yet their heads remain in the sand ..

Government terror adviser says migration “is a national security issue”. So that’s no longer a racist opinion? Just checking for 30 million deeply pissed off people. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/1…

.@MatthewStadlen, nobody serious condones the burning of homes or violence against innocent people. That has been said clearly and repeatedly. Peaceful mass non-compliance, sustained public anger expressed through votes, through civic pressure, through the kind of informed public argument that refuses to be silenced, would be far more effective and far more legitimate than disorder. That is the argument worth making. What you deliberately fail to address is why we are here. This didn't happen because of social media. If anything social media has given a voice to millions who were ignored, dismissed and labelled by the very people supposed to be representing them. For thirty years the political and media class controlled the terms of the debate. They decided what could be said, who could say it and what label would be applied to anyone who said the wrong thing. Social media broke that monopoly. The anger you are now describing as dangerous was always there. It was simply not permitted a platform until now. Britain was forged over a millennium. Out of invasion and resistance, reformation and revolution, industrial genius and imperial reach, two world wars and the stubborn refusal to be broken. The people who built that country, who dug its coal, staffed its factories, fought its wars and buried its dead, were never consulted about the transformation of their communities at a speed and scale that their own government now admits was too much, too quickly. When they objected they were called racist. When they persisted they were called far right. When they voted for parties that reflected their concern those parties were dismissed as extremist. The working class communities now erupting with anger are not doing so because of a website. They are doing so because their concerns were ignored for thirty years by people like you, who had the platforms, the education and the proximity to power to raise these questions honestly and chose instead to brand those raising them as bigots. The road to perdition was not paved by the people of Belfast. It was paved by the political and media class that substituted mass migration for economic reform, celebrated the transformation as diversity, prosecuted those who questioned it as racists, and is now, as the consequences arrive, reaching for the same tired accusation one more time. You are not describing a backward ideology. You are describing the consequence of your own class's choices. The difference is that the people in those streets have to live with those consequences. You do not.

The Border Stays Open. The State Will Close the Conversation. Before the fires in Belfast had been extinguished, the government had identified the threat. Not the border. Not the system that granted Hadi Alodid legal residency in seven months without a verifiable European asylum history. Not the Albanian gangs advertising guaranteed passage to England on TikTok this morning. The threat, as defined by this government, was the conversation. Liz Kendall announced on Wednesday that social media firms would face new legal curbs during times of crisis. Platforms would be required to remove incendiary content more quickly when tensions were heightened. The definition of crisis and the definition of incendiary would be set by ministers. On the same day, Jonathan Hall, the government's own terror watchdog, said he had raised the national security dimension of mass migration with the government and received no reply. One question got legislation within forty-eight hours. The other got silence. Stephen Ogilvie lost an eye on a Belfast street. The government's legislative response targets the people describing what happened. This is not new. After the summer 2024 riots the same reflex operated. People were jailed for social media posts within days of the disorder. The sentences handed to those who wrote the posts sat in the same range as those who burned the buildings. The machinery of the state was directed at speech about disorder rather than the conditions producing it. Belfast is the same pattern at higher intensity. The border stays open. Discussion of what happens at the border will be suppressed more quickly next time. The British asylum system did not malfunction in the case of Hadi Alodid. It performed. Sudan to Paris. Paris to Dublin. Dublin to Belfast by bus. Asylum claimed in February 2023. Refugee status granted by September. Legal right to remain until 2028. There is no French record of him as an asylum seeker. The Irish government will not say how he entered Ireland. None of that prevented the system from processing him correctly by its own rules. The rules are the problem. The government has no intention of changing them. Albanian gangs are advertising the same route on TikTok today. Filmed inside Dublin airport. Guaranteed passage. Seven thousand pounds payable on arrival. Operation Gull has arrested more than 900 people using it in a year and the advertisements continue. Enforcement is cataloguing this. It is not closing it. Jonathan Hall, the government's own independent reviewer of terror legislation, said immigration must be treated as a national security issue. He said he had raised whether migrants from certain countries presented elevated risks of serious violence. The government responded with silence. The terror watchdog, a King's Counsel appointed to scrutinise national security law, is recording not a political failure but an institutional one. The question was asked through proper channels. Nobody answered. The pattern is coherent even if the government will not name it. The terror watchdog raises the national security dimension of mass migration and hears nothing. The gangs film themselves inside Dublin airport and advertise openly. The border operates as it always has. And ministers announce that posts about the consequences will be removed more quickly next time. That is not an oversight. That is a set of priorities. A government that cannot close a border it knows is being exploited, cannot answer its own terror watchdog, and cannot explain how a man with no verifiable asylum history acquired British residency in seven months has chosen a fourth option. Control the account. Leave the causes intact. "Liz Kendall announced on Wednesday that social media firms would face new legal curbs during times of crisis."

Imagine a country that can’t prevent a Sudanese man who has molested children gaining right to remain. That is Britain today. Successive governments have conspired in this dangerous farce. The human rights of illegal migrants trump the rights of British people. It’s sick.

This veteran was absolutely battered by our scum police force for doing NOTHING. He has been remanded in custody for doing NOTHING. He refused to come up from the cells to the court because he was black and blue and he didn't want his wife and family to see him like it. They gave him no medical help whilst being in the cells he was kicked in the head 4 times and battered with their shields, there is clear video evidence of this. STARMER this is on you, you fucking piece of shit.

O'Neill of Sinn Fein insists that "Northern Ireland is not operating an “open borders” immigration system". The attacker got on a bus in Dublin and got off in Northern Ireland. How is that not an "open borders" system?

Absolutely disgraceful I hope Labour are decimated at the election

I am banned from entering the United Kingdom because I have been deemed to be "not conducive to the public good". The Sudanese migrant who literally was cutting a man's head off in the middle of the street in Belfast was given refugee status and full financial benefits by the same government that banned me. I have never seen a more glaring example of stupidity.

This is simply not true @Keir_Starmer. You absolutely DO tolerate abhorrent scenes of violence like this attack. Just like you tolerate all the rapes and sexual assaults of women and girls by illegal migrants. You - and most of the political class - decided long ago that these crimes are a price worth paying in return for achieving your multicultural, diverse, open bordered nirvana. So don't pretend to be shocked and don't wring your hands in sadness. This is the predictable (and predicted) result of the policies YOU support.
