We are helping thousands of vulnerable people who were housed during the pandemic to stay in accommodation this year, with more than £90M of funding announced today. gov.uk/government/new… (1/5)
The incredible national effort to support rough sleepers during the pandemic has protected many lives and is widely regarded as one of the most successful programmes of its kind in the world. I’m hugely grateful to all those involved. (2/5)
This funding will ensure that vulnerable people and rough sleepers continue to have safe accommodation and the care and support they need, to ensure as few as possible return to the streets. (3/5)
The Next Steps Accommodation Programme is part of the government’s landmark commitment to end rough sleeping for good.

In Greater Manchester, over £3M has today been allocated to councils to support the vulnerable. (4/5)
And we are providing 6,000 new supported homes - the most ambitious project of its kind with the single biggest injection of specialist accommodation since the Rough Sleeping Initiative began. (5/5) gov.uk/government/new…

Labour’s Immigration White Paper is out.

It’s a white flag for yet more mass migration - legal and illegal.

For the boats to keep coming. For our borders to stay open.

It’s another shameful betrayal of voters.

Here’s why 🧵
The Home Secretary says this will cut net migration by 50,000.

That’s a rounding error. We could well see that wiped out by 50,000 illegal migrants crossing the channel this year.

Home Office insiders say that migration could reach 525,000 by 2028. That’s an extreme figure.
Labour want to make it easier for a ‘limited pool of UNHCR refugees… to apply for employment'.

But the UN recognises 123 million refugees worldwide.

A small proportion would still be huge. Image

Rebecca Chapman sits as an immigration judge.

But she also works as a caseworker for a charity that advises migrants in Calais who are looking to enter Britain illegally.

🧵Here’s the latest infuriating example of an activist judge and how Labour are defending a broken system👇
The charity Chapman works for has campaigned to block deportations and criticised the Rwanda plan.

Its website says they support people ‘blocked in northern France’.

For 5 years Chapman has supported a charity that clearly doesn’t believe in Britain’s right to secure borders. Image
Chapman gave lawyers training on how to use the ECHR to resist removals.

Plus how to prepare cases for appeal to the very court where she sits as a judge.

How can lawyers who advertise their work to keep illegal migrants in the UK sit as judges deciding deportation cases?!

Fahad Ansari is a practising solicitor who has been reported to counter-terrorism policing on six occasions.

For two decades he has displayed public sympathy for terrorists, from Hamas to the Taliban.

A 🧵 on the man behind the lawfare to get the ban on Hamas lifted👇 Image
This isn’t a lawyer who simply defends unpopular people. Ansari praises terrorist leaders.

He called Anwar al-Awlaki, a key al-Qaeda recruiter, “a mountain of a man”.

He described Hamas founder Sheikh Yassin “a symbol for Islamic movements across the world”.

Ansari said the Taliban are “the best thing Afghanistan will experience in decades”.

He even defended Brits going to fight against our troops in Afghanistan, calling them freedom fighters.

Who are the judges that decide immigration cases? Well, let me lift the lid.

Meet Greg Ó Ceallaigh.

He specialises in asylum and deportations.

Here’s a snapshot of his social media, where he reveals his far-left and open border views.👇
He was appointed a deputy upper tribunal judge last year.

Since then he has publicly backed calls for the Illegal Migration Act to be repealed and criticised the expansion of criminal offences for illegal entry. Image
In 2019 he was still lobbying for a second referendum. Image

Britain’s prisons are being overrun by Islamist gangs.

Self-styled ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ leaders control wings in many high-security prisons.

And instead of isolating them, the system is protecting them - not officers or the public.

Here’s how it’s happening. A thread (1/11)👇
Inside HMP Frankland, non-Muslim prisoners who refuse to convert are being locked in isolation for their own protection.

Isolation centres, built to contain extremists capable of radicalisation, are now shelters for the people they target.

Moral and institutional collapse.
Islamist gangs run shadow sharia courts. Dictate diets. Enforce their rules with threats and flogging.

Officers fear being labelled racist if they step in.

This is appeasement, not punishment.

Does the UK have a two-tier justice system?

This month the Court of Appeal handed down a judgement for Roger Hallam, co-founder of Just Stop Oil.

It’s a deeply troubling case that suggests we do - and that we need to fight back.

A thread 🧵👇 Image
Hallam had been jailed for 5 year for conspiring to disrupt traffic by getting JSO protestors to climb onto gantries on the M25.

They caused 50,000 hours of delays and cost the police millions.

Hallam appealed his sentence arguing it was ‘manifestly excessive’. Image
On appeal, the court reduced his sentence to 4 years.

The judges asserted the ‘conscientious’ motivations of Hallam lowered his culpability for the crime.

This is the same reasoning which benefitted protestors who closed the Thames Crossing in 2023. Image
