Brave @MaggieOliverUK has won her High Court case & will take the government to a full judicial review.
She will expose the fact that all the promises from the rape gangs inquiry have not been carried out.
I have donated and I hope you can too.

👀The Electoral Commission give Democracy Volunteers access to polling stations at election time. Only they and the police can go inside. They’ve just issued this report about “family voting” in Gorton and Denton:
Democracy Volunteers deployed four accredited election observers across the Gorton and Denton Westminster Parliamentary By-election today. The team attended 22 of the 45 polling stations in the constituency, spending between 30 and 45 minutes in each.
The observers worked in pairs using the international standard for election observation - the four eyes principle. Each team assessed several aspects of the polling process, from accessibility to issues around the integrity of the vote.
Staff were welcoming to the team and we would like to thank them for their time in accommodating our work.
The team assessed two significant aspects of electoral integrity - family voting (where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting) which breaches the secret ballot. The team also assessed the impact of the requirement for voters to show ID before they are issued with a ballot paper.
2023 saw the enactment of the Ballot Secrecy Act, which made the practice of family voting more clearly a breach of the secret ballot, making it more enforceable by staff in polling stations. Signage is now available to discourage the practice. Signage was only seen in 45% of the polling stations observed.
The observer team saw family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations observed, some 32 cases in total, nine cases in one polling station alone. The team observed a sample of 545 voters casting their votes - meaning 12% of those voters observed either caused or were affected by family voting.
Commenting John Ault, Director of Democracy Volunteers said;
‘Today we have seen concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton. Based on our assessment of today’s observations, we have seen the highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10 year history of observing elections in the UK.’
‘We rarely issue a report on the night of an election, but the data we have collected today on family voting, when compared to other recent by-elections, is extremely high.’
‘In the other recent Westminster parliamentary by-election in Runcorn and Helsby we saw family voting in 12% of polling stations, affecting 1% of voters. In Gorton and Denton, we observed family voting in 68% of polling stations, affecting 12% of those voters observed.’
The team also observed cases of voters being turned away, however, in each case this was due to them not being a registered voter for Westminster elections, such as having EU citizenship, and only being allowed to vote in local elections.
The team also saw a number of voters taking photographs of their ballot papers and one voter being authorised to vote despite them already having been marked as voted earlier in the day.
Democracy Volunteers has informed elections staff at Manchester City Council about our findings today.
This Statement is now available on the Democracy Volunteers website HERE.

We took this Labour government to court and won.
In collusion with the Tories, Keir Starmer tried to stop 4.6 million people voting on May 7th.
Only Reform UK fights for democracy.

The green candidate in the gorton by election is a clean energy technician working for a Swedish mega corp that instals heat pumps. NOT a local plumber! airahome.com/en-gb/about-us/…
Out on the campaign trail with @GoodwinMJ in the #Denton and #Gorton by-election. Fantastic responses on the doorstep. #VoteReformUK

👏🏼A turning point for Kent finances - & a huge well done to the Reform team at KCC! 💪🏻
David Wimble sets out how Reform UK is fixing the mess at County Hall - tackling £700m+ Tory debt, protecting services & delivering £82m in real savings in just 8 months
This is what competent local govt looks like ⬇️
#ReformUK #Kent [@ReformUKFHRM @therealdavidwi1 @LeaderofKCC]
From @therealdavidwi1
Council Tax in Kent: the numbers, not the noise.
To run Kent County Council costs just over £2 BILLION a year.
That’s funded by:
🏛️ Central government grants (incl. Fair Funding) + 🏠 your Council Tax
What we inherited:
📈 10 years of 5% rises set by the Conservatives
✂️ Big cuts — but still…
💳 £732 million + debt
🧓 £21m Adult Social Care overspend on top
What’s changed under Reform (last 8 months):
✅ Culture change at County Hall
✅ Services maintained (and spending increased where needed)
✅ DOLGE — Department of Local Government Efficiency hunting waste + tightening controls
💷 Every 1% on Council Tax is equivalent to ~£10m. We treat that like it’s YOUR money… because it is!
In the media you would have read and hear scare stories fed by the Labour, Liberal and Green parties claiming chaos but despite what they have claimed :
📚 No library closures
♻️ No household waste site closures
So why a rise at all?
📊 Inflation ~3.8%
📦 But council delivery costs are closer to ~8% (suppliers facing higher NI + minimum wage wage costs) making it much more expensive to deliver the same services.
That’s why Kent is setting 3.99% — below what many councils are forced to do.
Check out what other councils across the country are setting. We are the largest county council by financial terms in the whole of the U.K., but under Reform U.K. have one of the smallest increases of ANY council
Compare that:
📍 the Labour run Medway Council: 5% + repeated bailouts (over £150m previously, plus more since). And it looks like they will need another £100 million from the government
That’s what you get when budgets aren’t controlled.
We’re paying down the legacy debt, at record speeds.
Our Dolge team have made REAL SAVINGS of £82 million in 8 months and by May1st on target to hitting the £100 million mark
We are protecting services, and rebuilding the way Kent spends public money.
Next 12 months: stronger finances, stronger economy, stronger services — and the aim is to keep next year lower than inflation.
You voted for Reform U.K. to change the way the council is run
I will be straight, change does take time. But we have turned the corner and despite how the left leaning media would have you believe
We are doing a bloody good job! 🩵

Please repost. People need to know.
They promised justice for rape gang victims. Instead they get a limited inquiry, chaired by an insider.
It’s a cover-up because they’re petrified of what a real inquiry would expose.
Labour put a Labour peer in charge of the rape gang inquiry then admit it won’t be exhaustive. That’s not an inquiry. It’s a stitch-up. If they were serious, they’d appoint a judge, expose every failure, deport the rapists, and ban visas to Pakistan until abusers are taken back. Victims, like Jade deserve justice, not more cover-ups.👇
The case of Jade Nurse. Her story, published this week is a catalogue of failure: raped by hundreds of men from the age of 14. “Freshies” from Pakistan
who were flown in to rape them.
A system of targeted gang rape that operated in the open, and likely still does.
This wasn’t just grooming. It was sexual exploitation tourism, happening under the nose of the British state.
What visas were these men arriving on? Visitor visas? Spousal visas? Were they ever vetted? Were they ever removed? How many even left?
We issue hundreds of Pakistani visitor visas every single day over 200,000 granted last year alone, more than double the number issued just two years earlier, with barely any meaningful checks on criminal history, local enforcement records, or links to rape gang networks, how many, like the men Jade described, are here to rape?
If we had a single serious safeguarding department in Whitehall, these questions would already be answered. But they’re not because no one dares ask. How many more Jades are there?
We now know that what happened in Rotherham, Rochdale wasn’t an exception. It was a model.
Networks of Pakistani men were allowed to operate openly for over a decade across towns and cities in England. They weren’t just ignored. They were enabled by police, by social services, and by politicians who feared losing their seats or individuals who feared being called racist more than they feared being complicit in the rape of children.
These weren’t isolated incidents. They were nationwide, organised, targeted abuse. The victims were mainly white girls. The rapists knew it. They called them “white bitches”.” They told the victims the police wouldn’t act, and if they did they would say the victim is racist . And for years, they were right.
If Labour or the Conservatives want to talk about protecting women and girls, they can start here: How many rapists are coming in from Pakistan? And how many have been deported?
If Pakistan refuses to take back its sex offenders, the UK must introduce immediate visa bans. That’s what real safeguarding looks like. You don’t protect women by letting the risk grow. You stop it. You remove it. Or you lose the right to say you care. Protection means prevention.
Right now, a convicted sex offender can fight deportation under “Article 8 right to family life.” He has rights. His victims don’t. And while Labour clings to the ECHR, British girls are targeted.
Borders matter. Enforcement matters. And nothing in Labour’s plan tackles either.
Labour wants to teach boys to respect girls. But boys don’t learn respect from worksheets. They learn it from what the state tolerates. And what the state has tolerated for decades is the mass rape and torture of British girls, while the state let the guilty go free and kept the door open to more.
We are not short announcements. We are short of action. The only way to make this right is to do
what no government has done, not even the Conservatives, who had every chance and looked away:
Admit the truth about who was responsible .Remove every offender who has no right to be here. Cut off the pipeline of visas from countries, such as Pakistan where rape is being exported And stop pretending this is about demonising a group of people. Its not. It’s about justice.
Because justice for Jade and every other girl like her will never come from a new strategy. It will only come from a reckoning.

Multiple People Stabbed On A Train In Cambridgeshire
A man boards a train in England expecting to reach his stop. He ends up fighting for his life instead. Several passengers stabbed. Armed police swarming the carriages. Two men arrested. Another night of fear in what was once a civilised country.
The attack on the Huntingdon-bound train is not an aberration. It's the latest symptom of a nation that can no longer guarantee the most basic condition of freedom – safety. A train carriage should be the definition of the ordinary: commuters, families, conversation, calm. But Britain has reached a point where the ordinary has become perilous.
The Prime Minister offers condolences, the Home Secretary promises an inquiry, and police issue their sterile statement. We've heard it all before. After every stabbing comes the same hollow ritual: shock, sympathy, and silence. Then nothing changes.
This isn't just about knives. It's about a government that reacts instead of protects, and a culture that tolerates failure as if it were compassion. "Appalling incident," says the Prime Minister. No – what's appalling is that he says it every week. What's appalling is a country that has normalised armed police boarding trains in the dark to stop men butchering strangers.
The deeper crisis is moral. Britain's ruling class has forgotten what government is for. Its first duty is to defend its citizens from harm, not to manage the aftermath. Yet we now live under a state that treats security as a luxury and public fear as a nuisance. Ministers mouth empathy while communities bury the cost.
Whether this attack proves to have a terror link, a migrant connection, or another cause entirely, the principle remains the same: a safe society demands borders, enforcement, and visible authority. A country that cannot control its streets or its trains has ceased to be sovereign in anything but name.
For decades the British people have been told to "stay calm," to "avoid speculation," and to "stand together." But calm is not a policy. Calm does not stop the blood. What's needed is the old logic of civilisation – deterrence, law, consequence. Put police where crime happens. Remove those who threaten the public. Rebuild a justice system that punishes before it apologises.
Every time a citizen is maimed or killed in a preventable attack, it is not just a failure of policing – it is a failure of philosophy. The political class no longer believes in order. It believes in optics. It prefers the illusion of virtue to the reality of safety.
The Huntingdon stabbings should never have happened. Not because such things are unthinkable, but because they were predictable. A state that cannot keep its people safe on a train cannot claim to govern them anywhere else.
Britain's crisis isn't that violence exists. It always has. The crisis is that our leaders have accepted it. And until they stop managing the chaos and start confronting it, there will be more nights like this – more victims, more vigils, more platitudes.
A civilised country prevents horror before it arrives. Ours now waits for the bodies.
"Every time a citizen is maimed or killed in a preventable attack, it is not just a failure of policing – it is a failure of philosophy. The political class no longer believes in order. It believes in optics. It prefers the illusion of virtue to the reality of safety."

I agree with Every word spoken by @fionagoddarduk @EllieAnnRe71927 and @snatched1400 in this article.
This is exactly why I resigned from @gmpolice in 2012 to go public as this is precisely what I saw then. I still can’t get my head around why all those other thousands of professionals around the uk remained silent and turned away. I didnt understand it then, and I still don’t understand it now.
But these young women speak from personal experience and still, even now, those in power continue to accuse them of lying!
Thank god that this time they are being heard, and they each assure me that this time they won’t be intimidated and they won’t be silenced….

Nearly 2,000 illegal migrants have entered Britain in the last four days
We don’t know who they are. We don’t know where they’re from. And we don’t know what they believe.
Why is the government doing this to their own people?

Our country and society is being dismantled infront of our eyes.
Make sure this is the last time the UniParty does this.
Join us at Reform today and help to consign Labour and the Tories to history.

@PWestoff, you're absolutely right to raise this - and the fact that these questions cannot be asked without being branded "far-right" or "racist" is exactly the point. We're not talking about a slow decline anymore. We're talking about survival. And if people think 2034 is just another election year, they've not grasped the scale of what's coming.
The political process may still be salvageable, but only just. It's not simply about electing @reformparty_uk or anyone else. It's about whether they'll have the will and, more importantly, the power to act decisively. That means dismantling the civil service stranglehold, defanging activist courts, and rewriting treaties. That won't happen with polite reformism or soundbites about "controlled migration." And if we fail in 2029, then by 2034, the numbers will have shifted so radically - both in the electorate and across key institutions - that the ballot box may no longer offer a path back.
The uncomfortable truth is this: we are running out of time. Each year, more native Brits leave, and millions more are added through mass migration - most from cultures hostile to the very idea of Britain as it once was. And as you suggest, if that continues, then no amount of nostalgia or flag-waving will stop the transformation. A Muslim Brotherhood-style party doesn't need to win a majority. It only needs to hold the balance of power. The rest will follow - law by law, school by school, town by town.
Would serious steps provoke unrest? Of course they would. Any serious attempt to reverse this engineered collapse - mass deportations, dismantling enclaves, shutting foreign-funded mosques - would meet resistance. Possibly violent. But pretending otherwise is the greater risk. Kicking the reckoning down the road just guarantees that when it comes, it'll be uncontrollable. That's what happened in Lebanon. That's what happens to nations that ignore demographic and ideological shifts until they boil over.
And where's the debate? Where are the front pages? The BBC? The so-called journalists? Silent. Or worse - complicit. They know. They just don't want you to know. Because awareness creates anger, and anger creates action. So instead, they sedate the public with buzzwords about "diversity" and "inclusion" while the foundations are torn up underneath them.
So, yes - these fears are legitimate. And no, it's not alarmism. It's realism, backed by data, by lived experience, by everything we can see with our own eyes. This is not immigration. It's an invasion-by-policy. A managed collapse enforced by law, protected by media silence, and paid for by a population that was never asked - only ordered.
The social contract is gone. The question now is not whether we're heading for rupture, but whether there's still time to avert the worst - or whether we're already watching the final act of Britain as a nation.
"And if we fail in 2029, then by 2034, the numbers will have shifted so radically - both in the electorate and across key institutions - that the ballot box may no longer offer a path back."

Over the next two election cycles, millions more Muslims will exist in Britain, and hundreds-of-thousands - possibly millions - of native Brits will leave.
If Reform win in 2029 and do nothing to realistically save Britain, then we have to wait until 2034 for our political salvation.
Question: Will it be possible to save Britain via the political process in 2034? And if not, what credible options are there if we are not to be ruled over by Islam?
Is it a probable fact that any realistic steps we might take to ensure our survival would result in inter-ethnic/religious violence?
If so, does this mean we should not take them, even if it means a British Muslim Brotherhood government circa 2039?
None of this is very far away. A lot of people are very concerned. Many young native Brits awake to our catastrophic situation wish to emigrate. National survival and/or ethnic/religious war similar to 1970s Lebanon is a huge, colossal, gargantuan issue.
But have you ever read, watched or listened to a single serious discussion about this anywhere in a print newspaper or the BBC, Sky, ITV, C4 etc?
You have not, so ask yourself WHY you have not. I can only compare it to German Panzers in 1940 barrelling their way through the Ardennes forest toward France, whilst the Belgian and French politicians/journalists talked about the definition of Panzerphobia as they covered their eyes and their ears.
