I found the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 Islamist attacks yesterday odd and disturbing. Our leaders are living in a parallel universe. Sadiq Khan said we are building a "safer London". Yvette Cooper said "we will always confront the threats facing this country".

A reminder 🧵 1/ The UK currently has no control of its own borders. Despite chaos & conflict in Syria, Afghanistan, Gaza, Iran, Iraq, Eritrea, Nigeria, Mali, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and elsewhere, the UK is effectively running an open border policy

The United Kingdom, or England, more accurately, has the longest and deepest tradition of protecting fundamental rights, going back nearly 1000 years to Magna Carta. We do not need some strange, regional court like the ECHR to protect our freedoms and rights. A huge problem with the ECHR is that it’s simply no longer what we joined in the 1950s.

From climate change to immigration, it’s massively expanded the definition of “rights” in ways that are deeply political —not judicial.

These debates and decisions should be happening within our representative democracy, making them accountable to the people, not distant courts that are not accountable to anybody and are dominated by distant elites who lean strongly to the cultural left.

Those who say “Churchill supported it” are gaslighting you. Neither Churchill nor Thatcher for that matter would have supported the current expansion of the ECHR. It’s a totally different beast from what it was in the immediate postwar era.

I cannot remember the last time I saw six police officers together in Britain. But here they are, arresting two parents, in front of their children, for complaining about their local school in a Whatsapp group. Britain is completely and utterly lost. It used to be the home of individual liberty; now it’s morphing before our very eyes into an Orwellian nightmare. We need a political revolution to restore common sense. And we need it now.

This is not random. This is all part of the crackdown on free speech in the UK which I write about here:

-Hate laws
-Non-crime hate incidents
-Expanded definition of “Islamophobia”

We have completely lost our way

Here are 3 maps and a thread which show you what is now unfolding in some parts of England 🧵

1. Let me introduce you to St Matthews and Highfields in Leicester.

In this part of Leicester more than 80% of people who are living in social housing were born outside of the UK, of whom only half are currently in work.

More people in this area were born in the Middle East or Asia than in the UK. Three-quarters of residents are Muslim. Not even two-thirds identify as British or English while close to one in three identify with a 'non-UK identity only'. More than four in ten people here live in households that contain NO adults who speak English as their main language.

2. Here's Tokyngton or Monks Park in Wembley. In this area, nearly 73% of people who live in scarce social housing were not born in the UK, of whom only 43% are in work. In this area, only 40% of people were born in the UK while about one in three have lived in the UK for less than a decade. More than one-third of people here refuse to identify with a British or English identity. Fully one-quarter live in households that contain no adults who speak English as their main language.

NEW POST. Them Vs. US. Elites are now dangerously out-of-touch from millions of people who surround them. Findings from a new study
mattgoodwin.org/p/them-vs-us On climate change, willingness to pay for Net Zero, individual freedom, trust in government, support for the expert class, & political loyalties, the gulf between the Elites & Masses is enormous (esp. between elite uni grads & voters). As I argued 👇

NEW POST. Islamo-Fascism and the Woke Left. Why many Brits now fear their values, history, and identity are being attacked on two fronts at the same time.

Both are profoundly illiberal belief systems, prioritising religious or fixed-group racial, sexual, and gender identities above individual rights

NEW POST. Yes. Multiculturalism is Failing. What the pro-Hamas protests tell us about modern Britain.
mattgoodwin.org/p/yes-multicul…
When you watch British nationals on Britain’s streets —many from minority backgrounds— celebrating the rape and mass murder of Jews by a terrorist group which is proscribed by the British state then you know multiculturalism is failing.

📉 Some utterly bleak numbers for Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives this morning. First, how people plan to vote at the next election: Labour 50%, Conservative 21%. Only about 4 in 10 of the people who voted for Boris Johnson in 2019 plan to vote Conservative now ... Second, the economy, the most pressing issue facing voters. Who do they trust to manage the economy? Once you remove the undecided, 32% say Keir Starmer and Labour, only 16% say Sunak & the Conservatives. Only a minority of Tories, 42%, now back their own party on the economy.

Why is Elton John leaving Twitter a story on the BBC while the Twitter Files --all of it central to the global debate over social media, power and democracy-- has barely been mentioned at all, having been buried away under a Trump story? I think we've actually entered the Twilight zone.

How to fix the NHS crisis? Steve Powis on @bbclaurak is absolutely spot on. If we want to begin dealing with the crisis we need MANY MORE medical school places here in the UK & become less dependent on importing doctors. Here are just a few statistics to underline the point ... You can see how broken the current system is by looking at the number of applications to join the UK medical register by UK, EEA (Europe) and IMG (international medical graduates) who mostly come from outside Europe

I just spent a few hours at Michaela Community School. I was given a tour, had lunch with some of the students and discussed associated issues with the Social Mobility Commission. A few observations .. The school is deeply impressive. My tour guides were two students, from year 8, who were very bright, well behaved, confident & asked me lots of questions. They also told me off for talking while students were learning in one of the classrooms :-)
