Farage’s Reform Party Snatches Seat from Leftist Governing Party.

Britain’s governing Labour Party has lost a seat to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party in a municipal government by-election (special election). Reform candidate Anita Stanley won the Bilston North seat on Wolverhampton Council, gaining 652 votes, nearly 200 more than Labour, who only narrowly surpassed the far-left Green Party. The Conservative Party secured 257 votes, finishing fourth in the contest.

Zia Yusuf, Chairman of Reform UK, referred to the win as a “stunning victory.” Since the general election on July 4, Labour has lost about one-third of the 100-plus council seats it was defending in by-elections. Over this period, Labour has lost 21 councilors, while the Conservatives have gained 14. Reform has secured two seats and has also seen a few sitting councilors in Essex and Scotland join its ranks. Lee Anderson, a Member of Parliament (MP) for Reform, remarked that the victory in Wolverhampton signifies a continuing shift in British politics. “The political tsunami continues. And more defections incoming,” he said.

In addition to threatening Labour by appealing to its former working-class base, Reform directly threatens the Conservative Party, which governed the country for 14 years from 2010 to this July. In particular, Reform has been outflanking the notionally center-right establishment party on immigration, tax cuts, and other issues it has been failing on after lurching to the left.

Farage previously put out a call to all 1,352 Conservative councilors facing re-election, urging them to leave their “busted flush” party and join Reform.

Farage Says His Party Has Been Banned from Asking About Child Killer in Parliament.

Nigel Farage has disclosed that Members of Parliament (MPs) from his Reform Party have been barred from questioning the case of a migration-background teenager accused of a mass stabbing attack targeting young girls in Southport, England. The killings sparked widespread anti-immigration protests and riots, with many suspecting a terrorist attack. Months later, it has been revealed there is a terror charge against the teenager, Axel Rudakubana, and Farage is accusing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of suppressing uncomfortable facts about the case.

“[M]y colleague and Deputy Leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, was lucky [to be] able to ask Keir Starmer a question at [Prime Minister’s Questions] on Wednesday,” Farage writes in an article for The Telegraph, referring to a weekly event in the House of Commons where prime ministers are quizzed on a range of issues by lawmakers.

“That morning, [Tice] received three panicked emails from the Commons authorities asking what the content of his question might be,” Farage continued. “Then, an hour before PMQs began, he received a telephone call in which he was told not to ask anything about the man accused of the Southport attacks. This point was reinforced strenuously by the Speaker in the Commons just before PMQs began. Parliamentary Privilege was effectively withdrawn.”

COVER UP. 

Farage contends that “the apparatus of state is being used” to suppress information about Rudakubana that would further inflame public feeling against mass migration. He is now known to have been making ricin and to have possessed an al-Qaeda training manual.

Farage also believes the government’s efforts to suppress information about the case helped spark the summer riots, allowing rumors and speculation to fill the vacuum. This led to a draconian crackdown on anti-immigration protesters and social media users, with England’s chief prosecutor warning that “dedicated police officers” were “scouring social media” to arrest people for “incitement to racial hatred.”

It is claimed that information about Rudakubana must be suppressed so he can receive a fair trial in January.

UK ‘Conservative’ Party Elects Nigerian-Raised Leader, Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch.

Britain’s so-called ‘Conservative’ Party has elected its new leader, who will likely lead them into the next general election.

Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch becomes the first Black woman to lead a major political party.

Born in London to Nigerian parents and raised in Nigeria, Badenoch is a free market, libertarian-leaning former cabinet minister who has talked tough on topics such as mass migration and the European Union (EU), though during her time in parliament has actually voted for legislation that kept the UK tied to EU institutions while signalling her support for immigration.

The news has sparked celebration amongst Nigel Farage’s Reform Party supporters, as it means Farage is more likely to emerge as the more popular figure on the political right and potentially become the nation’s Prime Minister in 2029.

Reform’s deputy leader, Richard Tice, said of the Conservative (Tory) Party pick: “Kemi Badenoch is another in a long line of Tory politicians who say one thing and do another.

“Kemi Badenoch was front and centre of a Government that failed Britain. She said nothing while Rishi Sunak hit hard working people with record immigration, the small boats crisis, the highest taxes for seventy years, record NHS waiting lists and sky high crime.

“Instead of standing up for Britain whilst in Government, she stood up for her own career prospects and chauffeur driven cars.

“She has failed the British public before and she will fail them again as leader of the Conservative Party.”

Don Jr. Warns Britain’s Far-Left Govt Is Damaging UK-U.S. Relationship: ‘They Should Be Ashamed.’

Former President Donald J. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has warned Britain’s governing Labour Party is damaging the British-American special relationship by intervening in the U.S. election on behalf of Kamala Harris. He also had harsh words for the British state’s turn towards authoritarianism, calling it “disgusting.”

Asked by the British media whether Labour Party staffers traveling to the U.S. to campaign for Harris would “damage the special relationship,” Don Jr. said it was “certainly not a great start, because it’s clear what they’re doing.”

Speaking on the state of the United Kingdom more generally, he added: “It’s absolute lunacy what I see going on in the UK right now… They’re jailing people for misgendering someone; honestly, it’s disgusting, and they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Britain lacks robust, First Amendment-style free speech protections, with citizens being liable for arrest and even imprisonment for causing offense. Last year, an autistic minor was arrested for a “homophobic public order offense” after saying a policewoman with short hair reminded her of her “lesbian nana.”

In recent months, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) launched a threatening campaign warning social media users to “Think before you post,” saying action would be taken against so-called “online violence” and content spreading “hatred.”

Mark Steyn Gets 5-Figure-Fine After COVID Lawfare.

Mark Steyn, a former presenter on GB News, has been ordered by the High Court to pay £50,000 (~$65,000) in legal expenses to the Office of Communications (Ofcom), which regulates communications in Britain. The payment is due by November 19. Steyn initiated legal proceedings against Ofcom after it determined that two of his 2022 broadcasts violated its standards, a conclusion he says “killed” his career.

The High Court ruling in July dismissed Steyn’s case, insisting Ofcom’s decisions were based on detailed reasoning. On Tuesday, the same judge expressed dissatisfaction that both parties had failed to settle the matter of legal costs amicably sooner, suggesting an agreement might have been possible with more prudent handling.

The broadcasts in question began with The Steyn Line, a monologue segment of Steyn’s GB News show. On April 21, 2022, Steyn discussed the country’s Covid vaccine rollout, using data from the UK Health Security Agency. Ofcom ruled on March 6, 2023, that the segment misrepresented the data, posing a risk to viewers.

A subsequent episode aired on October 4, 2022, featured an interview with author Naomi Wolf. During this segment, Wolf compared the vaccine rollout to “mass murder,” drawing parallels to “doctors in pre-Nazi Germany.” Ofcom concluded that GB News did not adequately protect viewers from potentially harmful content, describing Wolf’s statements as a “serious conspiracy theory.”

Steyn, who has since relocated to the United States, had been seeking to have these rulings overturned.

Punjabi Man Slashes Throat of Toddler, Cuts Schoolgirl in Brutal Assault.

A Punjabi speaker named Kulvinder Ram has appeared in a London courtroom, charged with slashing the throat of a two-year-old boy and cutting the face of an eight-year-old girl from mouth to ear. The 48-year-old faces three counts of attempted murder, having also injured a woman who tried to shield the children.

Ram appeared at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Friday night over the October 25 incident in Dagenham, East London, where fewer than 50 percent of residents were classified as White British in the 2021 census. District Judge Jonathan Moffatt has referred the case to the Crown Court, which has sufficient sentencing powers to deal with the charges.

London’s Metropolitan Police force says the suspect and his three victims were all known to each other but has not provided further details. The children and their mother are reportedly not in life-threatening condition.

Court reports have not disclosed Ram’s migration background, although Punjabi is spoken predominantly in India and Pakistan.

Former President Donald J. Trump has argued on several occasions that London and Paris, France, in particular, have become unrecognizable as a result of “opening [their] doors” to dangerous elements, telling supporters: “We can’t let that happen to our country.” London Mayor Sadiq Khan, of the governing Labour Party, is a regular sparring partner of the America First leader.

Ram is scheduled for a pre-trial preparation hearing on November 11.

REVEALED: Child Killer Who Sparked Riots *IS* Islamist Terrorist, Govt Hid Info From Public.

The suspect in a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport, England, that led to the deaths of three young girls has been charged with terror offenses. Authorities allege he downloaded an al-Qaeda instruction manual.

Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, a migration-background teenager suspected of stabbing three young girls aged just six, seven, and nine to death and injuring several others, has been revealed to have ties to radical Islamic extremism. He not only possessed jihadist terrorism instructions but also tried to procure the deadly nerve agent ricin.

While poison and the manual were found in his home, police have only released the information now, three months after the stabbing attack took place in late July.

PROTESTS.

Following the arrest of Rudakubana, who was reportedly born in Wales to Rwandan migrant parents, protests and riots exploded across England and Northern Ireland.

While some violence and rioting took place at some of the protests, many of the hundreds of people arrested and imprisoned by the leftist Labour government were given years in prison for as little as shouting at the police or posting heated messages online.

One man, a 61-year-old grandfather guilty of verbally abusing police in Rotherham, reportedly committed suicide earlier this month after being handed a sentence of over two years.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the British police were accused of two-tier policing as mobs of Muslim counter-demonstrators were allowed to roam around Birmingham attacking white people and intimidating journalists with no riot response. Police later claimed they had determined the Muslim mobs were able to police themselves after consulting “community leaders.”

EUROPE.

Islamic State sympathizers in Austria have also targeted Taylor Swift, threatening to carry out a mass terror attack at one of her concerts in Vienna. Other mass stabbers, including a Syrian migrant who targeted a diversity festival in the German city of Solingen, were also linked to the Islamic State.

Europe has seen over 21 attempted Islamist terror attacks this year.

Elected Member Suspended After Knocking Out Constituent… On Camera!

Mike Amesbury has been suspended from his party after being caught on CCTV apparently striking a constituent. Amesbury, 55, a Member of Parliament (MP) for Britain’s governing Labour Party, can be seen in footage from outside a business in Frodsham, England. In the tape, he engages in an animated conversation before delivering a punch that knocks a man off the curb. Amesbury appears to continue hitting the man once he is on the ground.

Following the release of the footage, there were immediate calls for Amesbury to resign or be barred from Parliament. A Labour Party spokesman confirmed Amesbury’s suspension pending a police investigation. Amesbury has stated that he felt threatened during the encounter, which occurred around 2:15 AM on Saturday.

Cheshire Police confirm that they have interviewed a 55-year-old man under caution and released him pending further inquiries.

Amesbury, who has been part of the Labour Party since he was 17 and became an MP in 2017, previously branded anti-immigration protestors “criminals” and “thugs” on social media. He shared a post from the Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, showing the prison terms they could expect.

Tommy Robinson Jailed AGAIN.

Independent journalist Tommy Robinson has been imprisoned for 18 months for contempt of court in England. The sentencing follows a protest on Saturday that saw thousands rally in support of the anti-grooming gangs activist.

Robinson pleaded guilty to violating a court order banning him from making certain claims against Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian teenager who went viral on social media after a video was shared of another teenager pouring a bottle of water on him at school. Robinson alleged that Hijazi, who was said to have been the victim of bullying, was actually the aggressor, resulting in a libel case that saw Robinson ordered to pay the Syrian £100,000 and subjected to an injunction prohibiting him from repeating the allegations. However, Robinson went on to produce a documentary detailing evidence in support of his allegations, resulting in charges of contempt of court for breaching the injunction.

“Court injunctions must be obeyed,” insisted the sentencing judge, adding: “Nobody is above the law; nobody can pick and choose which laws and injunctions they obey and which they do not, even if they are convinced an injunction has been wrongly granted.”

Separately, Robinson was arrested and charged with terror offenses for refusing to provide his phone PIN code to police on Friday, preventing him from attending his pre-planned ‘United the Kingdom’ rally in central London on Saturday.

The rally went ahead regardless, with thousands rallying in his support, marching from Victoria Station to Parliament Square and spilling beyond their initial meeting point.

In place of a speech by Robinson, rally attendees watched a public screening of Robinson’s latest documentary, Lawfare, describing past efforts by police and prosecutors to imprison him.

Tommy Robinson Arrested on TERROR Charges for Not Giving Away His Phone PIN Code.

Independent journalist and anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson has been arrested by police and remanded into custody until at least Monday, according to one of his associates. Sammy Woodhouse, a documentary maker and grooming gang victim, stated on X that Robinson had been remanded into custody after being arrested.

Media reports claim that Robinson’s arrest is due to a previous violation of Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act as he refused to give the PIN code to his mobile device to police. He was bailed and is due to appear in court next month.

However, he was remanded in custody over another case in which he is accused of defaming a Syrian asylum seeker in his documentary film Silenced, which he released publicly on X despite being ordered not to by a British judge.

The documentary questions the story of Syrian asylum seeker Jamal Hijazi, who was allegedly attacked by classmates at a school in Huddersfield in 2018.

Robinson had questioned the narrative around the incident on social media, claiming that Hijazi was not innocent and attacked local girls before the video. Hijazi and others later sued Robinson for libel, with a court ordering him to pay £100,000 in damages and a further £500,000 in legal costs—equivalent to around $780,000 in total.

The documentary, which a judge ordered to be censored, features interviews with several local people who pushed back against the mainstream narrative regarding Hijazi.

The arrest is just the latest for Robinson. He was detained in Canada earlier this year over supposed immigration violations while on a speaking tour. A British and Irish dual national, Robinson used his Irish passport for the trip, and following his arrest, the Irish government publicly debated revoking it.
