Days ago, she made some curious remarks about Sharia courts.

To many, they were concerning enough but she also happens to be our Courts Minister.

Thread 🧵 Image Labour MP Sarah Sackman was appointed Minister of State for Courts and Legal Services in December 2024. Image

There’s something Starmer isn’t telling us about his digital ID plans…

And it all centres around a little-known system called One Login.

Thread 🧵 Image From the level of outcry yesterday, it’s safe to say that many are aware of Starmer’s scheme to impose mandatory digital ID, dubbed BritCard, on every working person in the UK—citizen and foreigner alike. Image

The plan fell flat on its face.

Starmer promised to fix immigration. Yet, since his term started, we've just seen more of the same.

If you want to see how truly broken our system is...

Here's another look at our absurd deportation scandal.

Thread 🧵 Image Earlier this week, a 36-year-old Afghan migrant, who previously raped a 14-year-old girl in France, had his deportation delayed, partly because his prison cell might be too small.

His lawyer contended his prison cell might be smaller than three square metres if he is extradited. Image

There's a lot of footage circulating of the Unite the Kingdom rally from Saturday.

Political hacks are selectively using clips to push their narratives.

Here’s an attempted honest summary of events.

Thread 🧵 Image One of the biggest bones of contention has been attendance.

The Guardian estimated 111,000, the Daily Mail estimated between 110,000 to 150,000. The Met said the same. While people on the scene claimed 500,000+.

We need to talk about our judiciary (again).

It looking less and less like a bastion of impartiality and more like a politicised activist class in robes.

Other Western nations, take note.

Thread 🧵 Image Just days ago, investigative reporter @thomasgodfreyuk exposed another judge whose background poses a direct conflict of interest with her work in the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal. Image

It might be a crude comment to make but...

If Muslims were treated like Christians, parts of Britain would likely be on fire by now.

A look at the quiet "war" authorities are waging against British Christians.

Thread 🧵 Image Back in May, The Telegraph published a curious report about a group of Christians in south-west London. It didn’t make much of a splash online, but it marked a shift in the way our authorities are dealing with religious advocacy. Image

It’s been about a year since the non-violent Southport protestors were arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced en masse.

It remains one of the most aggressive crackdowns on free speech in modern Britain.

So where are they now, a year on?

Here’s a look.

Thread 🧵 Image For clarity, it seems right to lay out how the Southport protestors' treatment by the police, CPS, and judiciary fundamentally differed from other cases.

Let's start with the evidence of "two-tier policing"... Image

When you step back and look at the events of the last week…

It’s not just that the British establishment is out of touch.

It’s that it increasingly seems like they hold so many of their own people in utter contempt.

Some would say we're a nation in pain.

Thread 🧵 Image The last few days have exposed some of the most disturbing responses yet from our political establishment and authorities—triggered by growing backlash over immigration, crime, the economy, and the erosion of free speech. Image

The British Government needs to come clean about the 24,000 Afghans they secretly offered asylum to...

Thousands are already here. More are on the way.

It could arguably become the worst national security failure in British history.

An attempted honest breakdown.

Thread 🧵 Image To recap:

Last week, we learnt the government secretly ushered in thousands of Afghans after a data leak compromised their personal information.

There was worry the Taliban could hunt them down.

In Oct 24, Labour expanded the scheme—offering asylum to a reported 24,000. Image

Some call it Britain’s "Watergate".

Others say it's an exaggeration.

What we do know: the UK government secretly ushered in thousands of foreigners—into hotels and military bases—after a devastating MoD leak.

The most scandalous details...

Thread 🧵 Image To recap, in 2022, a Ministry of Defence (MoD) official accidentally leaked data identifying Afghan asylum applicants.

Everybody freaked, worried hostile actors would get wind. In response, the government and courts effectively suspended democracy for nearly 2 years. Image

The UK Home Office has come under heavy fire of late.

The recent "right-wing" terrorist definitions being a case in point...

But behind-the-scenes, they've been up to much more and worse.

Our American cousins might look on in disbelief.

Thread (Part 4) 🧵 Image There was so much to cover here I had to break it into four parts.
