First the ECHR stopped us from controlling our borders.

Now it may overturn rules banning transgender women from female toilets.

It's the latest case of Strasbourg giving itself authority over domestic issues without democratic consent.

The court’s digging its own grave🧵 For years I've said that Britain must leave the ECHR to control our borders.

It's part of why I resigned as Immigration Minister - because the last Government wouldn't address the problems that the ECHR would cause in implementing the Rwanda scheme.

The system is rotten.

Immigration judge Gaenor Bruce ruled that the nephew of a Taliban commander can bring his family to Britain from Turkey.

Bruce also worked for a pro-refugee, African nationalist charity and has a long history of dubious immigration decisions👇 Before becoming a judge, Bruce spent her legal career advocating for migrants and asylum seekers against the Home Office.

She openly identifies as a judge on her public social media, against official advice.

The judge in this case also previously challenged the Rwanda deportation scheme and helped end a fast-track deportation scheme.

🧵A thread on yet another judge with remarkable similarity between their background and decisions👇

We need radical overhaul. In the case of the prolific Albanian criminal she acknowledged the man’s offending was serious – yet his appeal against deportation was still upheld because it wasn’t “extreme” enough.

And this wasn’t the first time Judge Hirst sided with a foreign criminal.

Meet Judge Canavan.

She recently refused to deport a convicted rapist and a crack cocaine dealer.

She was previously a refugee charity caseworker and has volunteered on cases preventing deportation.

A thread 👇 In 2005 and 2006 she’s thanked in Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) annual reports for volunteering on detainee cases.

The very same booklet series also features Judge Beach, who I exposed in a thread last week:

https://x.com/RobertJenrick/status/1956996972524576885

Meet Judge Beach.

She recently allowed a knife-carrying Class A drug dealer to stay in Britain. Her decision was overturned because of an error of law.

She previously sat on the board of a pro asylum charity, Asylum Aid.

🧵A thread👇 Whilst deciding deportation appeals as a part-time judge, Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) publicly thanked her for volunteering to represent immigration detainees in court.

A damning review has exposed how the criminal justice system is failing rape victims.

From the police through to prosecutors, administrative failings are leading to delays and fewer convictions.

🧵The findings will shock you. Ministers must act.👇 The report reveals that 3/4 of rape cases sent by the police for early advice breach CPS rules.
They arrived missing basic evidence such as the victim’s video interview or the suspect’s account.

That forces costly re-work and further delay.

This is an absurd decision that will infuriate the public.

And it’s not a one off.

🧵The immigration judge in this case, Rebecca Owens, is also behind other decisions that defy common sense👇

(1/6) Last August, she ruled that a Somali man, convicted of robbery, burglary, and drug-dealing, could stay in the UK - because deporting him might make his drug addiction worse.

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.

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.

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👇 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”.

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.

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.

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 🧵👇 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’.

A queue of men awaiting their turn to rape a child.

Bradford Crown Court's answer?
6 years. Out on licence in 4.

This is not justice.

A 🧵 Last week 3 child gang rapists were sentenced.

They were sent down for 6, 7 and 9 years respectively.

For Category 1A offences, the guidelines stipulate a starting point of 15 years with a range of 13-19 years.

When guidelines say 15 years and courts give 6, something's gone badly wrong.

You get longer for dealing drugs than for raping children.

This entire Rest is Politics episode is littered with factual inaccuracies.

They downplay the most appalling sexual abuse imaginable.

For the record, here is the truth 🧵 (1/11)

https://twitter.com/KeithWoodsYT/status/1877455365752893898

They claim the abuse only took place in Rotherham and Rochdale.

But these rape gangs existed in at least 50 towns and cities across the entire country.

See Charlie Peters's investigation:

Today is a day of shame for Labour.

Starmer’s arguments for blocking an inquiry into rape gangs do not survive contact with reality.

He is preventing answers and accountability for thousands of young girls who were abused in monstrous ways.

A thread 🧵 (1/12) Starmer’s central argument against an inquiry is the strawman that we should instead be focussed on delivering on the recommendations of the Jay Report. It is, of course, perfectly possible to do two things at once.

On the big issues Labour are absolutely clueless.

Their emerging China policy is the latest example.

It’s blindingly obvious China is a threat to the UK.

But David Lammy and Sir Keir are failing to stand up for Britain👇 (1/5)

https://twitter.com/lukedepulford/status/1828745031118668082

Our intellectual property is being stolen and our critical infrastructure is being targeted.

A British Government that safeguards British interests would not delay placing China on the Enhanced Tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme.

The legal work has been done.

As I wrote in the @Telegraph yesterday, we must state anew the principles around which our entire party can unite, updated for the modern world.

It is these principles that will stop us from getting blown off course.

A 🧵on what I believe our common creed should be👇 1⃣Mass migration must end

It has fuelled the housing crisis, suppressing wages, and destroyed trust.

Illegal migration is a national security emergency. Without secure borders, we don’t have a country.

The only test for our legal migration policy is whether it benefits Brits.

A university place should be for study.

But the graduate route is a backdoor for foreign students to do low-wage work.

The huge increases are concentrated in lower ranked unis, with a sharp drop in Russell Group attendance.

So this route isn’t attracting top talent either.
🧵 We urgently need to unwind the sector’s growing dependency on foreign students.

The graduate route should be scrapped and we must fundamentally rethink our International Education Strategy (IES), including the completely arbitrary target of attracting 600,000 foreign students pa

I resigned from government because I refused to be another politician who broke their promise to reduce immigration.

Three decades of mass migration have utterly failed the British public.

The costs have been covered up.

Here is the truth that needs to be told👇 We must end this disastrous experiment for good.

We should return to the historical norm of net migration in the 10,000s.

And the only way to guarantee the promise to reduce net migration will be kept is to introduce a cap which would serve as a democratic lock on numbers.

I want to extend a warm welcome to Hong Kongers arriving in the UK.
