Former Cabinet Member Demands UK Govt Explain Farage Security Cuts Amid Rising Political Violence.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Former Conservative Party (Tory) chairman and Cabinet member David Davis has called on the British government to reinstate Nigel Farage’s police protection after it was slashed by 75 percent last month.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Nigel Farage, David Davis, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, of the governing Labour Party, and Labour Members of Parliament (MPs) Jonathan Brash and Mike Tapp.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The funding cut was made last month in Britain, with Davis’s letter sent this week.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It strikes me that Mr Farage is a particularly high-profile target, arguably at greater risk than many Cabinet ministers.” – David Davis

🎯IMPACT: Concerns have been raised about political violence and the potential for attacks targeting high-profile conservatives in emulation of the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

IN FULL

The former chairman of the United Kingdom’s Conservative (Tory) Party, David Davis, is calling on the country’s ruling Labour Party to restore funding for Reform Party leader Nigel Farage‘s police protection. Last month, the government slashed funding for Farage’s security by 75 percent, according to the Reform Party.

“In the aftermath of the murders of [Labour politician] Jo Cox and [Tory politician Sir David Amess, and more recently the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we should not overlook the danger of copycat attacks,” Davis wrote in a letter to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who has made inflammatory remarks about Farage in the past. “Accordingly, the risks to individuals in this category appear to be extremely high. It strikes me that Mr Farage is a particularly high-profile target, arguably at greater risk than many Cabinet ministers.”

Numerous election polls have shown Reform on course to make massive gains in Britain’s next election, gaining enough parliamentary seats for Farage to likely be able to form a government outright or lead a coalition. This surge in support has set off panic among the globalist elite, with Conservative former Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently calling Farage “extremely dangerous” regarding his policy toward Russia and Ukraine. The former prime minister went on to insinuate that Farage was a threat to national security.

Incumbent Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, while speaking at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool recently, called Reform’s opposition to mass migration “racist.” Meanwhile, Mahmood has called Farage “a little bit worse than racist” and accused the Brexit leader of having “blown a very, very loud dog whistle to every racist in the country.” Earlier this week, anti-Trump Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy was forced to apologize for remarks where he accused Farage of having “once flirted with the Hitler Youth.”

Notably, rank-and-file Labour Members of Parliament (MPs) have used the situation to mock Farage, with Jonathan Brash calling him a “coward” and “pathetic” for expressing concern about threats. Similarly, Mike Tapp labeled Farage a “snowflake” for raising the issue.

During a television interview on Wednesday, Reform’s head of policy, Zia Yusuf,  accused Prime Minister Starmer of having “embarked on a campaign with his Cabinet to incite violence” against Farage.

The Israeli Government Is Bringing Tommy Robinson to Jerusalem.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: British activist Tommy Robinson is set to visit Israel, hosted by Israeli government minister Amichai Chikli, following a jihadist terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester, England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism, and Tommy Robinson.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Mid-October in Jerusalem, Israel.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.” – Amichai Chikli

🎯IMPACT: The visit aims to strengthen bonds between Israel and allies in the fight against anti-Semitism and radical Islam, but will likely cause friction with the British state, which has long despised Robinson for his outspoken activism against Muslim grooming gangs, Islamism, and mass migration.

IN FULL

Following the Yom Kippur terrorist attack in Manchester, England, which left two Jews dead and several others injured at the hands of a Syrian immigrant, Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism, announced that British activist Tommy Robinson has been invited to Jerusalem. Robinson is known for his strong stance against radical Islam and grooming gangs, which has often seen him persecuted by the British authorities.

“In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom,” Chikli said in a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), adding that “Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.”

“He has proven himself a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people, unafraid to speak the truth and confront hate,” he continued, adding: “Israel will always stand with the Jewish community and our allies worldwide. Together with friends like Tommy Robinson, we will build stronger bridges of solidarity, fight terror, and defend Western civilization and our shared values.”

Robinson responded that “We will always stand with freedom and democracy with people of Israel & the Jewish population of Britain in the face of jihad & tyranny,” with Chikli replying, “God bless you – looking forward to having you with us in Jerusalem.”

Chikli emphasized the importance of this visit, stating, “Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.” The visit is scheduled for mid-October in Jerusalem.

The outreach comes as Israel’s relationship with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour Party government, which despises Robinson, is increasingly strained. The Jewish State strongly criticized Starmer’s move to recognize “Palestine” in recent weeks, and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said following the Manchester attack, “The truth must be told: blatant and rampant antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement, as well as calls of support for terror, have recently become a widespread phenomenon in the streets of London, in cities across Britain, and on its campuses.”

He added: “The authorities in Britain have failed to take the necessary action to curb this toxic wave of antisemitism and have effectively allowed it to persist. We expect more than words from the Starmer government. We expect and demand a change of course, effective action, and enforcement against the rampant antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement in Britain.”

Free Soda Refills Banned Under New Health Laws.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: “Two for one” offers on junk food and some free drink refills have been banned across England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The ban affects supermarkets, large retailers, and online vendors.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The ban came into effect in England at the start of October 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Obesity robs children of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems and costs the [National Health Service] billions,” insists the Department of Health and Social Care.

🎯IMPACT: The measures aim to tackle obesity, especially in children, and include upcoming bans on advertising unhealthy foods before 9 PM on TV and online.

IN FULL

England has implemented a ban on “buy one, get one free” deals for junk food and certain free soda refills. The rule applies to grocery stores and other major retailers as well as online vendors. The regulations, which have been discussed for years, also ban free drink refill promotions for specific beverages in restaurants and cafes.

Social media users in the country have expressed disbelief at seeing signs appear on soda machines warning them that, “Based on new government laws,” they are only allowed to refill “low-sugar” soft drinks, with one asking, “Wtf is this country?”

Starting in January, advertising unhealthy food and drinks on TV before 9 PM will also be prohibited, along with all online promotions for such products. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman called these measures a “crucial step” toward ensuring children have a healthy and happy start in life, saying, “Obesity robs children of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems and costs the [National Health Service] billions.”

The British government has created a classification system to support the advertising ban, targeting items like soda, candy, cakes, chocolates, and potato chips.

‘Blood on Your Hands’ — Deputy Prime Minister Heckled at UK Synagogue Vigil.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The United Kingdom’s Deputy Prime Minister, David Lammy, was heckled at a vigil for victims of a jihadist terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and mourners.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The vigil took place in Manchester, following the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Thursday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “You have blood on your hands,” said one heckler.

🎯IMPACT: The deadly synagogue attack has drawn intense criticism of the Labour government and its failure to curb mass migration and the growth of radical Islam.

IN FULL

David Lammy, the United Kingdom’s Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, encountered a hostile reception at a vigil held for the victims of the recent synagogue attack in Manchester. Mourners expressed their anger with the Labour government’s lack of action on mass immigration and increasing Islamic radicalism, shouting phrases such as “Shame on you,” and “You have blood on your hands,” and “Go to Palestine” at Lammy.

The vigil took place a day after the deadly attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, which resulted in the deaths of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, and left three others seriously injured. The attack occurred on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and was perpetrated by Syrian immigrant Jihad al-Shamie.

Lammy tried to emphasize a need for unity, stating, “We must stand in grief, in solidarity, and in defiance.” However, he has not previously been a unifying politician, emphasizing his black racial background, defending a comparison he made between Brexit supporters and Nazis as “[not] strong enough,” and describing the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement as a “cult of white supremacists.”

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage criticized the governing Labour Party and senior party figures such as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in the wake of the Manchester attack, noting that they “emboldened these people by recognizing ‘Palestine’ two weeks ago.”

“I must admit, as I speak to you today, I am more worried about the state of broken Britain than ever before,” he said.

The UK Synagogue Terrorist Was on Bail for Rape When He Attacked.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Jihad al-Shamie, the Syrian immigrant responsible for the Islamic terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Thursday, was on police bail for rape when he struck.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Jihad al-Shamie, his victims, and the British authorities.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The terror attack occurred in Manchester, England, on Yom Kippur, with responding police officers shooting him dead.

💬KEY QUOTE: The terrorist’s father, Faraj Al-Shamie, stated, “May God protect Palestine and its heroic people,” following the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel by Hamas, whom he described as “Allah’s men.”

🎯IMPACT: The attack has raised concerns over public safety and the monitoring of suspected criminals on police bail.

IN FULL

Jihad al-Shamie, the Syrian immigrant who carried out a deadly Islamic terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Yom Kippur, was on police bail for an alleged rape when he struck.

The Syrian, granted British citizenship in 2006, caused the deaths of two Jewish men and the serious injury of three others during his attack, which involved a vehicle ramming followed by a knife rampage. Police shot al-Shamie dead at the scene, unintentionally injuring two of al-Shamie’s victims in the process, one fatally.

Reports have also revealed that al-Shamie’s father, Faraj al-Shamie, posted online praising the Hamas terror organization after their October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which left over 1,200 dead and saw hundreds of hostages taken, including women, children, and the elderly, many of whom have subsequently been killed in Gaza. On the day of the October 7 massacre, Faraj called Hamas “Allah’s men on earth” and wrote, “May God protect Palestine and its heroic people.”

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has lamented that the attack symbolizes “broken Britain,” noting how “Within hours of this horrific incident, we saw pro-Palestinian flags on the streets in London, Glasgow, and elsewhere, with people demonstrating in what were not planned protests… they weren’t demonstrating—they were celebrating.”

Farage also had harsh words for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the governing Labour Party, noting that his government “emboldened these people by recognizing ‘Palestine’ two weeks ago.”

Investigations into the Manchester attack and al-Shamie’s background are ongoing, with more details expected to emerge.

High Priestess: Church of England Names Pro-Abortion Woman as Top Archbishop.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Church of England has selected a “pro-choice” woman to be the Archbishop of Canterbury, its most senior clerical office, for the first time.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Archbishop Sarah Mullally, the Church of England, the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), and Anglicans.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on October 3.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This appointment abandons global Anglicans, as the Church of England has chosen a leader who will further divide an already split Communion.” – GAFCON.

🎯IMPACT: The move will likely deepen the divisions in the Anglican Communion, and comes at a time when more and more young people in England are turning to Roman Catholicism.

IN FULL

The Church of England has appointed Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman ever to hold the Anglican church’s most senior clerical role. Mullally, 63, was known as a champion of Black Lives Matter and diversity as Bishop of London, and has previously described herself as “pro-choice” on the question of abortion.

Mullally has backed blessings for same-sex couples, pushed for greater inclusion of gender and sexual minorities, and branded the Church of England “institutionally racist” in a prior conversation with Anglican minister Calvin Robinson. “Calvin, as a white woman, I can tell you that the Church is institutionally racist,” she told the biracial conservative.

Mullally steps into the role less than a year after former Archbishop Justin Welby resigned following a child sex abuse cover-up, adding another stain to the institution’s already tarnished reputation. She is set to be officially installed in March 2026 at Canterbury Cathedral.

Her rise comes amid a broader ideological shift in the Church of England, which is widely regarded as abandoning its theological foundations in favor of woke, secular activism, using the image of Christ to promote anti-borders politics, for instance.

Last year, the Church faced backlash after St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of its most iconic institutions, even labeled wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill a “white supremacist.”

The Church’s leftward drift has also been linked to falling attendance and declining public trust. A growing number of young Britons are reportedly turning to the Roman Catholic Church, seeking stability and tradition. There are now more young practicing Catholics in England than young practicing Anglicans, with Catholics expected to outnumber Anglicans in England overall in the coming years.

Mullally’s appointment has already drawn fire from the global Anglican community, particularly from leaders in Africa and Asia, where the majority of Anglicans live. The conservative GAFCON network, representing churches across the Global South, condemned the announcement, stating, “This appointment abandons global Anglicans, as the Church of England has chosen a leader who will further divide an already split Communion.”

WATCH: Farage’s Powerful Rallying Cry After Islamic Terror Attack.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Reform Party leader Nigel Farage responded to a radical Islamic terror attack targeting Jews in Manchester, England, yesterday.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Reform Party leader Nigel Farage, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, the governing Labour Party, and British Jews.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack was carried out on Thursday, October 2, in Manchester, England; Farage responded on Friday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The scenes of Jewish people being butchered on the streets of Manchester yesterday have shocked many of us deeply to the core.” – Nigel Farage

🎯IMPACT: The Jewish community in Britain is now deeply fearful, with Farage stressing concerns about societal breakdown in the United Kingdom.

IN FULL

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has responded to the radical Islamic terror attack targeting Jews at a synagogue in Manchester on October 2, perpetrated by Syrian immigrant Jihad al-Shamie. “The scenes of Jewish people being butchered on the streets of Manchester yesterday have shocked many of us deeply to the core,” he said, extending condolences on behalf of his party—but warned that the situation is even worse than it first appears.

“Within hours of this horrific incident, we saw pro-Palestinian flags on the streets in London, Glasgow, and elsewhere, with people demonstrating in what were not planned protests. The truth is, they weren’t demonstrating—they were celebrating,” he said, adding: “I can’t imagine we’ve ever seen such vile scenes on our streets, certainly not in my lifetime.”

Farage criticized the governing Labour Party and senior party figures such as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, noting that they “emboldened these people by recognizing ‘Palestine’ two weeks ago.”

Notably, a major pro-Palestinian march is still planned in London this weekend, despite calls for it to be canceled or postponed, with Farage describing it as a “hate march.”

“[W]e’re a country that allows peaceful protest, but not one that permits the celebration of murder,” he said, confessing: “I must admit, as I speak to you today, I am more worried about the state of broken Britain than ever before.”

WATCH: UK Police Threaten Christian With Arrest for Street Preaching.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Street preacher Ollie Sabatelli was issued with a “Community Protection Notice” warning him to stop causing “annoyance, upset, and distress” by preaching from the Bible over a speaker system and threatened with arrest in Guildford, England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ollie Sabatelli, a preacher known for his social media presence.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Over September and October 2025, in Guildford and Brighton.

💬KEY QUOTE: “You need to listen to me, if you breach this, you can be arrested and you will be arrested.” – Police officer to Ollie Sabatelli.

🎯IMPACT: Sabatelli attempted to circumvent the notice by preaching using only his voice, with no microphone.

IN FULL

Christian street preacher Ollie Sabatelli was issued with a “Community Protection Notice” by police in Guildford, England, to prevent him from preaching in public using a speaker system. Officers alleged the “manner” of his preaching was causing “causing annoyance, upset, and distress,” which is unlawful in the United Kingdom.

Video of the incident shared to social media on October 2, 2025, shows an officer warning Sabatelli, “You need to listen to me, if you breach this, you can be arrested and you will be arrested.”

He accused the preacher of “causing annoyance, upset, and distress” to “the local community and businesses,” citing “the content you are choosing to preach… and the choice of words,” as well as his use of a loudspeaker.

Despite clearly indicating that his words as well as his volume were the issue, the officer backtracked when Sabatelli asked him if he was banned from preaching the word of God, saying it was only the “manner” of his preaching “using a loudspeaker” that was at issue. Sabatelli therefore continued preaching using only his voice.

Sabatelli, who has amassed a significant following, with 91,000 followers on Instagram and 184,000 on TikTok, was previously driven out of Brighton last month for preaching on topics such as homosexuality, which the Bible describes as a sin.

BREAKING: UK Police Name Synagogue Terror Suspect as Jihad al-Shamie.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Police have released the name of the suspect in this morning’s terror attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester, England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The suspect named is Jihad al-Shamie, a 35-year-old initially described as a “British citizen of Syrian descent.” Police later confirmed he was an immigrant who was granted British citizenship in 2006. He was shot dead in the attack, and three others have been arrested.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack took place on Yom Kippur on October 2, 2025, in Manchester, England.

💬KEY QUOTE: “They are being held on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.” – Counter Terrorism Police

🎯IMPACT: The attack has led to heightened security concerns, particularly for the Jewish community in Britain.

IN FULL

Counter Terrorism Police have identified the suspect in the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue attack in Manchester, England, as Jihad al Shamie, a 35-year-old initially described as a “British citizen of Syrian descent.” Police later confirmed he was an immigrant who was granted British citizenship in 2006. While he was shot dead by police during the attack, three others, including two men in their thirties and a woman in her sixties, have been arrested.

The attack resulted in the deaths of two Jewish men, while three others remain hospitalized with serious injuries. The Authorities are currently working to formally identify the deceased and formally confirm the motivations behind the attack—likely radical Islamic terrorism. The situation has prompted Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government to announce increased security for synagogues.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’arhas said he is “appalled by the murderous attack near the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester on the morning of the holiest day for the Jewish people: Yom Kippur,” adding: “The truth must be told: blatant and rampant antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement, as well as calls of support for terror, have recently become a widespread phenomenon in the streets of London, in cities across Britain, and on its campuses.”

“The authorities in Britain have failed to take the necessary action to curb this toxic wave of antisemitism and have effectively allowed it to persist,” he continued.

“We expect more than words from the Starmer government. We expect and demand a change of course, effective action, and enforcement against the rampant antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement in Britain.”

Police say they are “working to formally identify those who have tragically been killed and provide support to their loved ones, in addition to the injured and the wider community.”
