Rory Stewart’s opinion on Islamophobia is delusional drivel. As ever, the former Conservative Cabinet Minister turned podcaster has got it wrong. Writing in The Telegraph, Michael Deacon summarised Stewart’s recent remarks as “People who criticise Islam are racist bigots”. In an interview with The New Statesman, @RoryStewartUK said: “I think we’ve got to be very clear that this is basically racism… All those people on social media who are talking about ‘Judeo-Christian values’, and saying, ‘I’ve got nothing against people of colour, I just don’t like Islam’, are basically racist.” One of the central problems with the Government’s new official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — is that Islam is not a race; it is a religion. In a free society, no religion should be shielded from legitimate challenge and debate. We have not had blasphemy laws in England and Wales since Parliament abolished them in 2008 — yet this Government appears to be reviving them by the back door. As predicted, the definition is already being weaponised to silence criticism of Islam, its practices, and its history — most notably in the case of Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy, who was branded racist after criticising a mass Muslim prayer event in Trafalgar Square.

Some believe the International Kangaroo Court’s Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, brought phoney war crimes charges against Israeli ministers to deflect from allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows: To: His Majesty, Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Realms, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith. Your Majesty, I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled. Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment. For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith. The laws of this land were shaped by it. The liberties of our people were nurtured by it. The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it. From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her. Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them. Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age. Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel. Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation. What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state. It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis. The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge. They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation. Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?” They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled. Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm. History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ. That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity. And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault. If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed. The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long. Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced. For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender. You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours. Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means. They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them. For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it. Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted. May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown. Yours faithfully, Bishop Ceirion H.

On this day in 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands — a British territory for 149 years. The following day, during an emergency sitting of the House of Commons, I had the privilege of contributing to the debate as we took the grave decision to defend the islands & retake them by force. What followed was a 74-day conflict, as a British naval task force engaged Argentine forces, culminating in their surrender on 14 June & the restoration of British control. We must never forget the cost: 255 British servicemen lost their lives, alongside 649 Argentine personnel. Among them was one of the youngest British serviceman to be killed - 19 years old- who was a constituent of mine. I attended his funeral. I also remember Margaret Thatcher writing personally to the families of every British casualty before retiring each night. Today I reflect, remember & honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

@RenownVet21 Sorry to read youre not well shipmate - hopefully on the mend, albeit at the archetypal Matelot pace - as slow as possible 😉 Get well soon Yorkie! 👍💪

Morning Fuckers, I haven't been well for the last month or so, I won't go into detail but it has knocked me bandy, but today I am finally feeling like my normal, and I use that term loosely, self. So I am sorry that I haven't been interacting too much, but hopefully I will now get back to something resembling normal.

@RDPHistory @MtarfaL This has been a recognised and taught TTP since 1940. It stayed until the 90s before falling prey to the Peacekeeping/COIN-era and the Positive Target ID supremacy. Different TTPs needed for different situations, so we're trying to get this back into mainstream training.

Thinus Keeve, Retail Director at M&S: "I keep hearing crime is falling, especially in London, something none of us believes, and very few people working in retail would see.” He continued to blast Sadiq Khan for failing to “prioritises effective policing.” He’s 100% correct.

When will @DavidLammy get it into his head that he’s got this one painfully wrong? In a highly unusual intervention, the Lady Chief Justice, Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill, has raised serious concerns about the Government's plans to curtail this fundamental right. Baroness Carr, who has served as the most senior judge in England and Wales since 2023 — and is the first woman to hold the office — has warned ministers that expanding the use of judge-only trials could expose judges to an increased risk of physical abuse. The entire legal profession opposes Starmer and Lammy’s sinister plan to curb our right to trial by jury, saying it won’t cut the backlog and will damage public trust in the criminal justice system. It’s increasingly clear that David Lammy has let his massive ego get in the way. He’s happy to take away our liberties and put judges in harms way to prove he can “get stuff done” in Government.

I went on national TV and said that little British girls are still being raped and tortured by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs. The next day, the police came to my door to threaten me into silence. But I was right. And it isn’t just taxis and takeaways. Vape shops are plying little girls with free vapes in exchange for “sexual favours”. It’s the textbook grooming model: gifts, compliments, making their victims feel special and wanted. It’s that much easier to coerce a child into “accepting” their abuse when one creates a power imbalance or a sense of social currency. That the price you pay for being groomed is rape, abuse, and exploitation. That you deserve it. That you asked for it. That you brought it on yourself. Child sexual exploitation is a tale as old as time. But it isn’t a thing of the past. There are hundreds of pedophile gangs still abusing little girls. And there are tens of thousands of little girls still being abused. It is still happening in towns and cities across the UK. Little girls are being subjected to the worst abuse imaginable, at the hands of men who know they can get away with it. How? Because they’re already done it for years. Nothing has changed. Powerful people are still turning a blind eye despite decades of undeniable evidence. Politicians are trying to sweep the scandal under the carpet, sabotaging the National Inquiry at every turn so that they can save their own skins. And little girls are still being sacrificed at the altar of multiculturalism and traded for votes. Decades later. The same old story. The grooming gangs scandal is the worst stain on British history, and I hold every powerful person accountable for it. Their sneering ignorance has facilitated the industrial-scale rape of little British girls. The continued failure to protect our children from these vile predators is an indictment on every sector of British society. A national enquiry run by the same party that told little girls to “shut up for the sake of diversity” will do nothing to stop the systemic abuse of little girls today. We are letting the perpetrators mark their own homework. Starmer may not have shoved little girls into taxis or plied them with vapes himself, but he is just as guilty as if he had. And I, for one, refuse to be silenced by the very people who have spent decades discrediting victims and survivors like me. Enough is enough.

It’s awful that these presenters see the Pakistani rape gangs, one of the biggest scandals in Britain, as something to mock. If the races were reversed, Labour Peer Ayesha Hazarika wouldn’t dare laugh about it.

April fool? Surely we are not banning our own oil and gas so we import instead? Surely we are not giving away Chagos with a dowry? Surely we are not paying French police to watch the gangs make money? Every day is April Fool’s day with this government.

So the minimum wage just went up and the government is very proud of itself. Here is what they are not telling you. Your wage goes up. Your tax goes up. Your National Insurance goes up. HMRC takes its cut before you see a penny of that £1,500. Now your employer is paying more for every single person on their books. They are not absorbing that. Nobody absorbs that. So prices go up. The coffee you buy on the way to work costs more. The lunch you grab costs more. The haircut costs more. All of it costs more because the people serving you are now on higher wages too, and their employers did exactly the same thing. So you got a pay rise, and everything got more expensive at the same time. Almost like it cancelled out. If they actually wanted workers to keep more money they would cut their tax. That's it. That's the whole idea. But that would mean the government collecting less. So instead they raise the minimum wage, taking a cut on the way in and benefit from the price rises on the way out through VAT, and call it a historic day for working people.

Non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) have had a chilling effect on free speech since their introduction in 2014. We estimate that around 250,000 NCHIs have been recorded against individuals — an average of 65 a day. Perhaps the two most pernicious aspects of NCHIs are that they can appear in enhanced DBS checks, potentially preventing you from getting a job, and that you may not even know one has been recorded against your name, as the police are under no obligation to inform you. Rather than policing our streets, forces have focused on our tweets. They have even recorded NCHIs against schoolchildren for hurty words said in the playground. Police forces across England and Wales alone have spent at least 60,000 hours a year investigating and recording NCHIs. It is clear they have been a waste of police time and taxpayers’ money. NCHIs will now be folded into the anti-social behaviour regime, with a higher threshold for recording. At the same time, they will continue to be recorded in Scotland and Northern Ireland. While the Free Speech Union welcomes this move, the fight to protect free speech from overzealous policing continues.

It’s not “history”, Shabana. I’m from Telford. I was groomed and abused by different men from the age of 5. I’ve seen countless little girls victimised by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs in my hometown. IT’S STILL GOING ON. I went on national TV to say that little girls are still being raped and tortured by Pakistani-Muslim gangs. The next day, the police came banging on my door to threaten me into silence for speaking out. Growing up, we knew which takeaways were dodgy, which taxi companies were controlled by the Pakistani-Muslim gangs, which estates and high streets not to walk through alone or avoid altogether. It’s an open secret. And your government is complicit. It is still happening in towns and cities across the UK. Little girls are being subjected to the worst abuse imaginable, at the hands of men who know they can get away with it. Nothing has changed. You are still turning a blind eye despite decades of undeniable evidence. Politicians like you are trying to sweep the scandal under the carpet, sabotaging the National Inquiry at every turn so that they can save their own skins. And little girls are still being sacrificed at the altar of multiculturalism and traded for votes. Decades later. The same old story. You may not have shoved little girls into taxis or plied them with vapes himself, but you and your entire government are just as guilty as if you had. And I, for one, refuse to be silenced or placated by the very people who have spent decades discrediting victims and survivors like me.

Dear @BBCNews, stop this right now.

I think that in recent years we have become too BBC-friendly They should concentrate more on making great programmes, and less on social engineering Social engineering is not what they are paid for

I see that the sectarian Muslim MPs, the Green Party & pro-Palestine activists are all up in arms over Israel’s death penalty for Palestinian convicted terrorists. When Iran executed the 19-year-old champion, Saleh Mohammadi for protesting the Khamenei regime, they were silent.

Officers were not “called out” to people’s homes over tweets! Police deliberately visited people like me to intimidate us on the basis of flimsy accusation which didn’t come near the threshold for criminal investigation. A shameful Orwellian period which appalled the public.

Dear @MetPoliceUK, Below is a video of Zarah Sultana MP, inciting violence against British citizens at a rally in London. “We are the majority. We will defeat them… we will fight them in the streets.” Zarah must be investigated for the following criminal acts: >S.4 Public Order Act 1986 (provocation of violence) >SS.44-46 Serious Crime Act 2007 (encouraging or assisting crime) >S.1 Terrorism Act 2006 (publishing (or causing publication of) a statement, either intending encouragement or inducement or being reckless as to whether it will have that effect — for political or ideological purposes) I look forward to your investigation of Ms Sultana any criminal charges that may arise from her despicable conduct. This is a clear incitement of violence, for political and ideological purposes, against an immeasurable number of innocent British citizens. She is unfit for Parliament, and unfit for public office. Her hateful, dangerous, and wilfully divisive language as demonstrated below proves just that. Sincerely, The British Public
