Deeply shocked by reports of a stabbing at a synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester.
My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones & the Jewish community at this frightening time.
Gratitude to the emergency services responding. We must stand united against such violence.

The βdiscoveryβ by Panorama of misogyny & racism in the Met is not hidden.
Sir Mark Rowleyβs position is untenable.
Lady Brittan & I sought a meeting on Operation Midland, the culture of cover-up & homophobia, & prevalence of false allegations. He refused. Our little confidence in him is now none.

Michelle Moneβs position in the House of Lords is untenable.
After todayβs High Court ruling that PPE Medpro must repay Β£122m for supplying gowns that were unusable & unsafe, she should resign or be expelled. She should also be stripped of her OBE. Public trust demands nothing less.

The Governments border deal with France will only succeed when 3 migrants enter & 1000 leave daily - for 5 years.
Ministers must also prepare for a Marine Le Pen government, which could scrap βone in, one outβ & even push migrants across the Channel.
Britain must be ready.

My Letter to the Editor of @thetimes.com.
In East Wiltshire, Reform UK came 4th last election while 16,849 (35.7%) backed a Conservative Member of Parliament.
Danny Kruger should resign, re-stand for Reform, and let democracy take its course. The people of East Wiltshire must decide.

Tory MP Danny Kruger has defected to Reform UK.
He should resign to trigger a by election and stand as a Reform candidate.
He must let democracy takes its course & allow the people of his of East Wiltshire constituency to decide.

I have written to the House of Lords Commissioners for Standards calling for the expulsion of Peter Mandelson from the upper chamber.
Twice forced from Cabinet, tainted by Epstein links, lack of transparency & openness in public office - he undermines the integrity the Lords must uphold.

Beyond appalling that the office of Sharon Hodgson MP was set on fire & vandalised.

Appalled by the Metβs arrest of Graham Linehan for a tweet from April.
There was a time when Orwellβs 1984 was satire. Today, it reads like prophecy.
Britain, once a beacon of free speech, edges ever closer to a dystopian police state.
Sir Mark Rowleyβs grip on the Met is becoming untenable.

The LBC presenter continues to peddle moral certainty yet has never apologised for turning a laughable conspiracy into a national witch-hunt
For more than 10 years, many people have urged me to turn my attention to @mrjamesob.bsky.social to ensure he is held accountable for his shameful & credulous support of Carl Beech.

It's 20 years since an innocent man was shot β no one has been held responsible
Today marks two decades since Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead after a bungled surveillance operation. We need police reform urgently
My article for @Daily_Express
20 years ago, Jean Charles de Menezes was killed by Met Police officers. He posed no threat & committed no crime.
Those responsible were promoted, honoured, enriched. That is not justice or accountability - itβs betrayal.

13 committed suicide because of the Post Office scandal. Many more came close. The Horizon system was flawed & they knew it, & still they prosecuted.

Whatever your politics, itβs concerning. Few understand the pressure of leading in crisis, particularly at the top of government.

Automatic belief in people who claim they have been raped: police will βrespect you and believe youβ.
Centuries of British justice overthrown in one sentence.

My interview with Laura Pullman of The Sunday Times, 10 years since Carl Beechβs lies upended my life.
βI was falsely called a child killer. No police officer has ever been held to accountβ - this is cover-up, cowardice & complicity by the Met Police & IOPC.
