An estimated 121,000 patients died while waiting for National Health Service (NHS) treatment in England last year, according to figures obtained by the Labour Party through freedom of information requests. The party claims these record numbers indicate that people are spending their final months in agony while on waitlists for care. Labour extrapolated data from 35 NHS trusts to estimate a total of 120,695 deaths occurred across 138 trusts in the country.
Last year, a similar extrapolation suggested 117,000 patients died waiting for treatment from Britain’s socialized healthcare provider, ludicrously dubbed the “envy of the world,” though millions of Britons are now hurriedlyturning to private care.
NHS England data shows 7.6 million people waiting for treatment at the end of June 2023, with strikes over pay disputes in the health service contributing to the backlog.

Grant Shapps MP has been appointed as the new United Kingdom Secretary of State for Defence, despite military officials warning he has neither experience in, nor knowledge about the subject and will require “quite some time to get up to speed.”
Shapps – an original “Tory modernizer” from the days of David Cameron, circa 2010, is now a fierce supporter of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Shapps has served in a number of Cabinet positions, including Transport Secretary, Home Secretary, and Housing Minister, and was appointed Defence Secretary following the resignation of Ben Wallace, who served in the British Army and was touted to replace Jens Stoltenberg as the Secretary General of NATO earlier this year.
While working as a Conservative Member of Parliament, Shapps operated a clandestine business selling dodgy computer software that increased a website’s advertisement revenue by “breaching Google’s code of practice”. At the time, he used pseudonyms such as Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath, and Sebastian Fox.
He initially denied the claims for a number of years and even threatened litigation against those who reported on it. Eventually, he admitted he was essentially a confidence trickster. This is now Britain’s Defence Secretary, in charge of the fifth strongest military in the world.

Britain’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) has urged millions of British citizens to refrain from heating their homes in the evening in an effort to help the government achieve its net-zero climate targets. They argue that houses should be pre-heated in the afternoon when electricity usage is lower.
The CCC’s call for behavior change aims to promote emissions reductions, which includes a transition away from gas boilers. Critics have argued against the CCC’s recommendations, warning the grid is already strained and that so-called renewables cannot meet demand.
The advice given by the CCC comes amidst government plans to ban the installation of new oil-powered boilers and promote the use of heat pumps. Chris Stark, the head of the CCC, has previously admitted he personally uses a gas boiler rather than a heat pump, however.
Whether Britain’s expensive green agenda can make any difference to the alleged problem of man-made climate change, even in theory, is doubtful. The People’s Republic of China alone has emitted more carbon in the last eight years than Britain has since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

Anthony Stevens, a UK politician, was arrested in front of his wife and children and held in prison for nine hours after a local left-wing opponent reported him to the police… for criticizing the police.
Stevens had posted his critiques of the handling of another high-profile persecution of a Christian – King Lawal – before he himself was arrested on the spurious grounds of “stirring up racial hatred”.
The British police interrogated Stevens over his public support of Lawal, a former Conservative Party local politician until his own party suspended him for arguing, “Pride is not a virtue but a sin.” Stevens shared the story on X (formerly Twitter) with the comment, “If you value free speech please sign [a petition] and share.”
“The accusation of racial hatred is ridiculous and insulting. My only crime has been supporting the only black local councilor in Northamptonshire,” Stevens argued following his arrest.
“In a true democratic society, you cannot have people being arrested for a few tweets. We must have debate, we must have the freedom to criticise and offend each other, otherwise this country is going to swiftly go to pot,” he added.

London’s annual Notting Hill Carnival, a multicultural street festival notorious for rampant criminality, saw scores of arrests prior to midnight on its first day, including multiple sexual assaults and attacks on police officers.
As of 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed there had been 85 arrests, for the following crimes:
Assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)/Common assault (4)
Other (6)
The carnival continues tonight, with Sunday having been the Children’s Day portion of the event.
It returned to London for the first time since the onset of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic last year, accompanied by a number of violent incidents. These included a policewoman being sexually assaulted by two men in a crowd and a rapper being stabbed to death in an attack which resulted in five arrests but no charges.
Far-left Labour mayor Sadiq Khan claims the carnival is “part of the fabric of our city,” where “we don’t just tolerate our diversity – we embrace and celebrate it” – but the Metropolitan Police Federation, which serves as a union for rank-and-file London police officers, has long lobbied for it to be shut down.
“Every year our brave officers come under attack at this event. Colleagues dread policing it. And yet nothing changes,” they complained in 2022.

A tribunal judge has said that using gender-specific insults against a transgender person could constitute a breach of equality laws after a trans woman lied about being called a “wanker” – a British insult used to connote an affectionate overfamiliarity with one’s self. Ahem.
The bus driver claimant sued his former “male-dominated” employer on the grounds of anti-trans discrimination, arguing he was insulted because his colleague “didn’t like the look” of him and refused to accept his gender identity. He was fired by the company two days after the incident and brought litigation, claiming his complaint was connected to the company’s decision to get rid of him.
The tribunal ultimately found he had not been discriminated against, as the alleged abuse did not actually take place. The judge then bizarrely explained that the if word wanker had been used, the claim would be successful because the term is not traditionally used to insult women.
“The panel members’ own experiences of [the] use of that term is that it is applied to men, and that there are equivalent but different swear words that are specifically used in common parlance to insult women,” argued judge Kathryn Ramsden.
“[T]he tribunal does not consider the insult ‘w—-r’ to be a gender-neutral term,” she added.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Far-left London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been ratioed on X (formerly Twitter) after suggesting Britain’s participation in the Transatlantic slave trade is “shameful,” while neglecting to mention how the nation was also responsible for the trade’s abolition almost two hundred years ago.
Khan’s post, which read, “The International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is a reminder that we must all learn about this shameful chapter in our history and recognise how its legacy lives on today,” was viewed just under 550,000 times on X, but failed to gain more than 86 reposts and around 352 likes. The Mayor of London also limited the number of people who were able to respond to the post.

He went on to claim: “Through transformative education about the past, we can help empower people to stand up for their rights today.” This post did not fare better as it was reposted just 26 times and got less than 100 likes, despite receiving almost 40,000 views.
It’s vital that we continue to remember the millions of victims who suffered as a result of the Transatlantic slave trade.
Through transformative education about the past, we can help empower people to stand up for their rights today. 2/2
The Mayor of London did not mention that Britain emancipated more than 800,000 slaves throughout its Empire after passing the 1833 Abolition of Slavery Act, nor did he highlight that the British government reallocated much of the Navy’s annual expenditure – then, the largest and most powerful in the world – in order to patrol the Atlantic to enforce the abolition, capturing and releasing around 200,000 enslaved Africans headed for North America for decades following the 1833 act, and sacrificing as many as 5,000 British lives.
Khan was heavily criticized over the past week after his website said a white family did not reflect genuine Londoners.

Immigration to the United Kingdom (UK) has surged to over 1.1 million people – the highest since records began in 2002 – under the far-left “Conservative” Party, despite successive governments promising to reduce the number for more than a decade.
Statistics published by the Department for Work and Pensions on Thursday revealed that the number of people registering for a national insurance number – the right to work and pay taxes in the UK – between June 2022 and 2023 has increased by over 300,000 compared to the year before, in which it was around 880,000. European Union citizens accounted for 130,000 registrations, compared to the roughly 960,000 registrations from the rest of the world.
The British government issued 538,887 work visas, an increase of 63 percent compared to the previous year, and 657,208 study visas, representing an increase of 34 percent. All must register for a national insurance number upon arrival in the UK.
Just under 100,000 asylum claims were made in the same year, though only 40,386 were from those entering the UK by boats traversing the English Channel. The majority of claims come from those arriving through illicit means, such as in lorries, shipping containers, and fraudulent documents, according to the British Home Office. The total number of pending asylum claims also increased by 35 percent to 134,046.
Despite the staggering number of visas issued, Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives have continued to demand more immigration over the past few months, citing worker shortages in industries such as agriculture.

The French government has deployed a ‘barrier’ off the coast of Calais in Northern France in an apparent effort to deter illegal migrant boats traversing the English Channel and discourage people smugglers. Yet, the so-called “floating dam” of yellow buoys off the French coast bares more resemblance to a line of balloons at a child’s birthday party than an insurmountable barrier ready to repel tens of thousands of illegal migrants.
The barrier is, however, vastly inferior in scale to that deployed on the U.S. Southern Border by Governor Greg Abbot, which uses hundreds of closely-knit red buoys designed to roll if someone attempts to climb over them, with the line stretching around 1,000 feet along the river.
The French authorities announced that they would take such a step to ensure “security and rescue services are mobilized on a daily basis… in order to thwart the action of smugglers exploiting the distress of migrant populations and prevent the occurrence of new tragedies,” adding they are “fully committed to the fight against illegal immigration.”
The British government has promised to pay the French a staggering $576 million over the next three years to curb illegal migration from France. Statistics revealed earlier this month that just under 17,000 people have crossed the English Channel illegally this year. The total amount since 2018 is over 100,000, with the British government excepting the trend to continue for “at least” another five years.

The far-left, Muslim Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s official website has claimed that a white family is not representative of the population of Britain’s capitol city, sparking a wave of backlash and allegations of racism on behalf of the Mayor and his team.
The now-deleted post, which appeared in a guide on how to best represent the position of London Mayor and the Greater London Authority (GLA), showed a white family walking along the river Thames in front of the Houses of Parliament, with the words “doesn’t represent real Londoners” written boldly above. The picture appears to be a stock image from 2013.
The Mayor came in for sharp criticism, with a staffer arguing: “The photo captain was added by a staff member in error, and doesn’t reflect the view of the Mayor or the Greater London Authority.”
But broadly speaking, the Mayor’s office is correct. As of the 2021 census data, London’s population was around 9 million, with just 36.8 percent of that being “White British”. Twenty-one percent is “Asian British”, while 13.5% is Black, and the rest are “Mixed” or “Other”. These numbers also exclude the hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants living in Greater London.
Transport for London (TFL), the organization responsible for travel across the city, recently banned white people from applying to scholarships, preferring instead to hire someone from a “Black, Asian and minority ethnic background, defined as having some African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or other non-white heritage.”
