ISIS is back on track to hit Europe, all thanks to the gullibility of Western leaders.

A 🧵 on how this happened: Since Assad’s fall in 2024, Syria has been ruled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which is a rebranded al-Qaeda group led by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani (who now prefers the name "Ahmad al-Sharaa"). Image

In 2024, 5 Gaza Independents made it to Parliament. But in reality they nearly won double that number, and likely will do so next time.

A 🧵on how the Muslim sectarian voting shift has actually been understated so far: In the last General Election, Gaza Independents were often losing because:

1) they competed against each other, splitting the same vote and/or
2) low Muslim turnout

So the Gaza Independent seat count in Parliament could have easily been much higher. Image

Somehow, 12 hours before any official reports, Hope Not Hate's head of intelligence knew about the Algerian man who fought off the Huntington stabbing attacker.

A short🧵on why this smells off: On Nov 3 at 22:38 GMT, Hope Not Hate's head of intelligence posted about the heroism of Samir Zitouni, the man who we later found out fought the knifeman during the Huntingdon train stabbing. Image

Two Muslim sectarian candidates just crushed Labour in Burnley council by-elections. No one in Westminster is talking about it but these results will alter politics in parts of the country for the foreseeable future.

A short 🧵: Musharaf Parvez, a Gaza Independent, won the Queensgate ward with a 12.3pp lead on the runner-up. Image

London is now a base for one of the world's leading Islamist groups, with links to ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Russia have all declared it a terrorist organisation.

But Britain and the US have not. 

Here's how Britain came to host the Muslim Brotherhood🧵: Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational organization whose goal is to establish an Islamic caliphate under sharia law.

Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad & ISIS are all branches of the Muslim Brotherhood. Image

For decades "Hope Not Hate" has terrorized people with whom it disagrees. But for some reason, the Home Office continues to ignore calls for criminal investigations into this dubious “charity”. 

What is Hope Not Hate? A 🧵: The story begins with Gerry Gable, a radical communist who volunteered for the Communist Party's Daily Worker newspaper (now Morning Star). 

In the 60s he was an 'intelligence officer' for vigilante groups in London.

He stood unsuccessfully for the Communist Party in 1962.Image

While the UK total fertility rate (TFR) continues to plummet, some people are still insisting that mass migration is the solution when in fact, it’s part of the problem. 

A 🧵on why: The ONS just announced that the TFR in England and Wales fell to 1.41 children per woman in 2024. This is the lowest number since records began 90 years ago.

And Scotland just released data showing that their TFR fell to 1.25 in 2024, also the lowest on record. Image

The Times reports that the UK government is set to announce plans to evacuate up to 300 children from Gaza for free medical treatment on the NHS.

Despite the humanitarian intent, this policy is naïve and dangerous.

A 🧵 on why: Each child will be accompanied by a parent or guardian, plus potentially siblings.

Many will never leave. Once in the UK, they can easily claim asylum under ECHR provisions, arguing Gaza is unsafe.

This effectively creates a new refugee pathway into the UK.

Reem is right that our pension system is unsustainable because of a shrinking working-age population.

But the idea that mass migration is a solution is nonsense - particularly when most migrants aren't net contributors.

Here’s why 🧵 The UK is rapidly aging, meaning fewer workers supporting more retirees.

By 2040 there will be 22.7M drawing benefits (mostly pensions) vs only 34M of working age.

The old-age dependency ratio will climb to 367 pensioners per 1000 working-age by 2042, despite pension age rises. Image
