Huh
Labour will sharply reduce funding for some of Britain’s most affluent councils and divert it to poorer areas, after Andy Burnham has promised to create “good growth in every postcode”.
Councils in the vales and shires will lose £61m of grant funding from central government over the next three years, while urban areas will see an uplift of £2.9bn, according to ONS figures ⤵️

I’d love to be appointed head of the charity commission, maybe the single highest leverage appointment possible. The sector is completely out of control & the source of so much rot and suffering. It should be a top 3 priority
When people donated their hard earned money to a charity to build and maintain London’s bridges over the last 850 years - I can guarantee you that not one of them expected that their money would be diverted to organisations called:

Ilhan Omar's sister lived in what is now a £2,080/mo flat in Central London
I wonder how much taxpayer money was involved?
It is amazing the international mobility these people have, a global welfare lifestyle
The New York Post just published the marriage certificate of the sister of Ilhan Omar’s ‘brother husband’ who lived with him in the UK.
She lists their father as ‘Nur Said Elmi’ and his says he is a “military officer”.
This lines up with Leila Nur Said also being Ilhan’s sister, which even further proves Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who Ilhan married, is also her brother.
Yikes.

It would be interesting for some journalist to go and ask these people if they’re still going to vote Lib Dem. Has this whole affair changed their minds at all?
Piddington village is suing the Home Office, alleging it acted unlawfully by failing to consider the threat a new asylum camp could pose to wildlife.

Growing up in Oldham, in sixth form we would go to the pub during free periods as they wouldn’t really care about our age and we could have a pint or two.
There would always be a Pakistani couples sheepishly sat in the corner drinking cokes and kissing or cuddling. I asked why once and was told that it’s because all of the taxi drivers in the town are Pakistani, they all talk to eachother, they all know eachother, they all see eachother every day at the mosques. If a girl was seen walking around or holding hands with ‘so and so’s cousin’ it could cause an outrage or some clan conflict and so they would go to the places in town they knew they wouldn’t be caught/seen.
It isn’t surprising at all that these taxi networks are being used to facilitate abuse, this is well known. But it needs to be acknowledged that if a few of them know, all of them know. Every driver, every family.
In April 2016, Manchester Crown Court sentenced nine men for abusing eight girls and young women around Rochdale between 2005 - 2013.
One 15 yr old was sold for sex by David Law to Afraz Ahmed for a few bags of heroin. A bus driver, Afraz Ahmed, propositioned two 13 yr old schoolgirls on his route. Gang members utilised the local taxi network to identify and capture vulnerable young girls. Another man, Mohammed Furuz Miah, kept alcohol, cigarettes and hair straighteners in his boot, which the judge called a kit to get vulnerable girls into his car.

We’re desensitised to this perhaps. We get these horror stories every week now. But really zoom in and try and imagine how helpless and hopeless this poor girl was feeling here. How her parents must have felt finding her like that. Her father, the shame, the weight of failure
In July 2021, Leeds CC sentenced three men for abusing a girl in Huddersfield in the 90s, starting when she was 12. Banaras Hussain, who was married at the time, first raped the girl on a mattress in a rented house, he told the court that they had sex up to four times a week. His friend Mohammed Akram, who supplied her with drugs, raped her in her parents’ house while they were asleep in the next room.
On the first night he met the girl, a third man, Talish Ahmed, raped her in a car at a reservoir while a taxi driver watched. He then left her at the roadside with her trousers and underwear round her ankles, unable to walk, she was later found there by her parents.

Another 10 transcripts of grooming gang sentencing remarks I’ve worked through today.
The details are horrific. I’ve already had to step away, mindful of my own trauma and limits.
Behind every transcript are victims who suffered horrific sexual abuse. Their suffering must never be forgotten
🧵 Today the Centre for Justice Policy is publishing 10 new grooming gang sentencing remarks from Rochdale, Huddersfield, Rotherham, High Wycombe, Nottingham and Chelmsford.
Some had no reporters in the room, and coverage of the rest missed much of what the judges said.

The result of this “research” is always ‘we need more money for charities’ and the civil servants at their makework jobs are all too happy to acquiesce. One big parasitic human centipede, hundreds of thousands of people are employed at our expense like this
£687,758 taxpayer funding for "Child Protection in Pakistani Communities"
"Cross cutting knowledge will be used to develop further research in the UK on the subject. The city of Bradford has the largest proportion of people of Pakistani ethnic origin (20.3%) in England, making the region an appropriate space for this work to be developed within a UK context. The University of Bradford's Division of Social Work is connected to Bradford Social Services through partnership arrangements. Therefore, working together with the Local Authority, further research within the community alongside the learning from Pakistan will provide opportunities to develop best practice guidelines and responses to issues relating to the abuse of children who are from a Pakistani background." gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=MR…

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Home Office counter-terrorism documents link “nostalgia for traditionalism” and fears over immigration, liberalism and multiculturalism to “Christian extremism”.
Officials propose working with churches to promote “theological resilience” against the use of Christian teachings to justify hatred or violence.
I obtained dozens of pages from RICU’s report on “Christian extremism”. Among the findings:
• Images of happy families in wartime, peaceful countryside and classical statues are described as a “hook” towards an extremist worldview.
• Tommy Robinson’s rallies and a Christmas carol concert come under scrutiny, alongside Christian fitness groups.
• “Bob from Speakers’ Corner” features, despite RICU identifying no extremist content from him.
Yet the report acknowledges that the threat of violence from Christian extremists remains “low”.
Jeremiah Igunnubole, UK legal counsel for ADF, says the report “suggests an institutional anti-Christian bias has taken hold in the Home Office”.
