Keir Starmer's justice legacy is woeful.

It's bad enough he appointed David Lammy as Justice Secretary.

But the first decision he made was to release tens of thousands of hardened criminals.

50,000+ criminals have been let out early on his watch. 🧵 Image Hundreds of prisoners have been let out in error, including 179 just in the past year.

This included a migrant sex offender who sexually assaulted a fourteen-year-old girl in Epping.

In many cases the victims were not even told. Image

Labour have appointed a new adviser at the Ministry of Justice.

And she has extreme views.

She called Henry Nowak's murder “useful” to the Right, and the public reaction to two-tier justice “dangerous”.

This is someone who should be nowhere near our justice system. 🧵 Image She also admits that we do have two-tier policing in this country.

But that this is done for “good reason.” Image

Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, says "I would never apologise for being a human rights lawyer."

But he hounded British soldiers in court when he knew they had almost certainly done no wrong.

He had the chance to apologise.

He refused to take it. Hermer used human rights lawfare to go after our brave veterans.

He says he represented his clients "without fear or favour in the best traditions of the Bar" and that he did these cases "in accordance with my professional obligations".

But this is fundamentally dishonest.

For many of these cases he was NOT bound by the cab rank rule. x.com/NJ_Timothy/sta…

Confirmed: male criminals who say they are trans are still held in women’s prisons.

And why is a minister using language like “assigned male at birth”?

Trans ideology still rules in the Ministry of Justice. 🧵 Image Labour say up to four trans prisoners are in the “general women’s estate”.

And six more are held in E-Wing of HMP Downview - a women’s prison.

This is dangerous. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…

1) As the country reflects this week on the need for equality before the law, David Lammy is promoting a new Diversity Board for the judiciary.

But to say the ethnicity of a judge matters undermines the principle that the law is blind. 1/ 2) Lammy says he wants the judiciary to look “more like the country”.

This new Board builds on Labour’s “Judicial Diversity & Inclusion Strategy”... 2/ Image

Three teenagers escaped prison after gang-raping two schoolgirls.

The country is shocked and disgusted.

But it is explicit government policy to send fewer criminals under eighteen to prison.

I’ve written to David Lammy demanding he changes course. Image The rapists filmed themselves raping their victims, laughed at them, and held one at knifepoint.

The judge said he wouldn’t send them to prison because they were “very young and none of you have been in any big trouble before.”

Neil Trennan is an extremely violent rapist who was serving two life sentences.

Yet he was let out on unsupervised day release when he absconded and attacked a young student.

There are serious questions for David Lammy - yet his department has responded dishonestly. 🧵 Image Trennan is behind bars again.

But so serious was this case that the Judge said he would send his sentencing remarks to David Lammy.

Lammy’s spokesman claims: “We have not yet received the judge’s sentencing remarks.”

But they are published here: judiciary.uk/judgments/r-v-…

The UK Together rally in London today is being sold as a march of love, unity, and hope - against racism and the far-right.

But a quick look at who’s backing it reveals a very different story. 🧵 Among the supporters are groups like the Muslim Council of Britain, the Muslim Association of Britain, MEND and Friends of Al Aqsa.

All these groups are under official disengagement polices from the government over extremism concerns.

Starmer is backtracking on his "Islamophobia" definition in stages.

But retreat will fail.

Because the problem is a fundamental one.

You can't treat religious ideas like a racial identity. 🧵 The remaining definition, for example, talks about "prejudicial stereotyping".

Is Ricky Gervais guilty of that when he tells this joke? youtube.com/shorts/XeMdl8S…Image

We are about to lose a vital source of information about the worst crimes imaginable.

From the rape gangs and migrant offenders, journalists have used Courtsdesk to expose what is really going on.

But Labour are deleting the archive. 🧵 whatlaboursaid.com/stop-the-groom… Before Courtsdesk, the public information about criminal hearings was inaccessible and unreliable.

Official court listings matched reality just 4.2 per cent of the time.

Two-thirds of courts routinely heard cases the media never knew about. thetimes.com/article/09cdee…Image

More detail on the misuse of AI by the police.

They didn’t just deny it to the home affairs committee.

They denied it in FOI requests.

They said they have no AI policy.

So officers are using a new, unreliable technology for sensitive purposes without training or rules. 🧵 This is Craig Guildford’s first answer to the select committee last year on the use of AI.

“No, not at all. We do a very comprehensive assessment.” Image

NEW: more evidence shows West Midlands Police rigged the "intelligence" to justify banning Israeli fans from Villa Park. 🧵 On 21 October, the UK Football Policing Unit sent West Midlands Police a report from the Mayor of Amsterdam.

Dated 11 November 2024, it recounted the trouble when Ajax played Amsterdam. committees.parliament.uk/publications/5…Image

An American Islamist preacher who praises Hamas is booked for a UK tour next month.

This is not rational debate.

It’s giving a platform to incitement and violent extremism.

Will the Government stop him coming here? Image Shadee Elmasry described the October 7 attack as Gaza “finally punching back”.

He praised the “morality” of Hamas violence.

He is completely upfront about praising the mass murder of Jews and Israelis.

Bridget Phillipson’s Education Department is a mess.

And children, parents and schools are paying the price.

A 🧵 on the cancellation of previously-approved free schools, including much-needed special schools. First, the context. Free schools work!

They’re more likely to be rated outstanding by Ofsted, they outperform other state schools at every key stage level, and have better progress data.

And there is soaring demand for special needs provision. Image

The Government has finally produced its official “Islamophobia” definition - rebranded as “anti-Muslim hostility”.

It’s even worse than feared. 🧵 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…Image As with the last definition endorsed by Labour, this dangerously elides concepts:

- The protection of people from harm v the protection of ideas from scrutiny

- Racial identity v religious belief

- Actions that are already illegal v behaviour that a free society should permit

The police misled Parliament last week as they sought to justify the ban on Israeli, Jewish fans from Villa Park.

They’ve apologised for misrepresenting the Jewish community.

Today I’m publishing the proof that they relied on AI to refer to a match that was never played. 🧵 First, a reminder that the West Midlands Police “intelligence” document said this: Image

Today I'm publishing the secret West Midlands Police “intelligence” report, used to justify banning Israeli, Jewish supporters from Villa Park.

I'm also publishing other material that contradicts the police "intelligence". 🧵
nicktimothy.com/nick-timothy-m…Image A reminder: Birmingham Council's Safety Advisory Group banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match against Aston Villa.

They did so on the back of this West Midlands Police intelligence report.

But that report has since been widely discredited. Image

Tomorrow Labour will whack up taxes to fund a welfare binge.

The beneficiaries will disproportionately be foreign-born families from countries like Pakistan and Somalia. 🧵 There are 341,735 foreign-born families - and 191,535 from just ten countries - that could benefit from the decision to lift the two-child cap.

Many had British passports at the time of the 2021 census, and many will since have been granted settlement. Image

The secrecy about housing illegal immigrants is totally unacceptable.

I've pursued the Home Office about it for months.

In her latest obfuscation, @angelaeagle claims MPs are "routinely engaged". But also says she'll tell us only "as is necessary".

In other words: never. 🧵 Image
Image Here are the questions I've asked and the non-answers I've received.

Remember, we're talking about mostly male illegal immigrants from misogynistic cultures being moved into quiet towns and residential streets.

Labour want you kept in the dark.

Essex Police escorted agitators to confront local protestors after a migrant allegedly attacked a child in Epping.

I asked the Chief Constable serious questions.

But he refused to answer. So I have referred him to the Home Affairs Select Committee.

My reply to him and a 🧵 Image There is no legal right for counter-protestors to be taken to the location of the protest they oppose.

But this is what Essex Police appear to have done.

And in doing so they made violence more likely, not less. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…

Following new reports of police officers helping the rape gangs and raping and beating victims, I’ve written to the Home Secretary.

There must be a National Crime Agency investigation into bent cops, councillors and others.

Labour keep saying no. My letter and a 🧵 Image I’ve been calling for this since the start of the year.

Cooper says she’s introducing a “duty to report” but this is irrelevant:

- that only applies to future cases
- the police already had legal duties. The point is that these officers ignored them.
