The perpetual question is how does an obviously deceitful, megalomaniacal and criminal undertaking succeed in persuading a significant part of the population that is working in their interests? ⁉️

PM Starmer's speech this morning. Although not a particular Starmer fan -I was loyal to the democratically elected Leader. Today,after listening to him - my respect for him increased substantially. My respect for the rogue element , who worked against him from the start - zero.

It’s only the 10th day of 2026 and we already have a strong competitor for ‘Man of the Year’ Absolute GOAT.

What alcoholic drink did you have a bad experience with and never touched since? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Anthony Williams, 32, has so far been charged over the train attack and the Pontoon Dock DLR station stabbing Cambridgeshire Police said: We are aware of three incidents that occurred in Peterborough on Friday evening (31 October) and Saturday morning (1 November). The first incident of a man with a knife at a barbers in Fletton happened at 7.25pm on Friday but was reported to us at 9.10pm - two hours after the incident occurred. At the time of reporting the man was no longer there and had not returned, so we did not send officers, but a crime was raised. The second incident was reported to us at 9.25am on Saturday again by the barbers in Fletton while the man was still at the scene.  Officers were deployed to the location and arrived within 18 minutes. Upon searching the area, officers were unable to locate the man or identify him and a crime was raised. There was also a third incident that police also believe may be linked which also happened on Friday 31 October at 7.10pm, where a 14-year-old was stabbed by a man with a knife in the city centre.  They were taken to Peterborough City Hospital with minor injuries and were later discharged. The offender had left the scene when the call was made and despite a search of the area by officers and a police dog, the offender was not identified.  A crime was raised and an investigation commenced, with scenes of crime attending. We are currently reviewing all incidents in the timeframe to understand whether there were any further potential offences. British Transport Police retain primacy for the overall investigation, which will include these three incidents. We voluntarily referred ourselves to the IOPC for independent scrutiny of these incidents, as is standard practice in these cases.

Two of my constituents have been detained by Israel, following the illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. I have written to the Foreign Secretary to ask what steps the UK government is taking to secure their immediate and safe release.

Update on the Manchester terrorist: Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, came to the UK from Syria as a young child. He grew up just around the corner from the synagogue he attacked. He is thought to have been granted British citizenship in 2006 when he was a teenager, aged around 16. It is believed he was a dad - there’s a photo shared by own father last year showing him holding a baby in his arms captioned 'great welcome grandson'. No evidence he had been referred to the Government's anti-terror programme Prevent or was known to police or the security services. Yet undoubtedly an Islamist. Not from a deprived background. His father, Faraj Al-Shamie, believed to be a trauma doctor who has worked for several NGOs in warzones across the world. The killer worked as a tutor teaching English and computing. Police have arrested two men aged in their 30s and a woman in her 60s on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack. So perhaps not a lone wolf after all …
