150,000 people get sickness benefits worth £5,000 a year - but the government has no idea why. No diagnosis, no evidence on file - the government just hands out the money. Your money. £770 million of it. This has to stop. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Starmer makes another big policy announcement to the media rather than to Parliament.
According to Labour 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote, but not mature enough to watch videos on their phones! thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

London's Black Cabs aren't just iconic, they are the often the embodiment of London's spirit with support they give to veterans and supporting families in need. They're also critical for disabled travel. That's why they're worth protecting.

🚨Sir Mark Rowley has just told me London will be “less safe” by the end of the year because he’ll have to lose 500-700 officers from doing frontline jobs after Sir Sadiq Khan blocked plans to use Palantir AI Q - You wanted to roll out AI provided by Palantir to try and speed up tasks in the Met like searching through reports, searching through phone data. Sadiq Khan, mayor of London, said, no, that's not happening. You've been blocked from doing it. So what does that mean? ROWLEY: I'm having to shrink the Metropolitan Police because of our budget, so we've shrunk by 3,300 people in 3 years. We're going to lose another 1,150 people this year. We had a plan to avoid doing any damage to the policing of the streets by using technology to automate behind the scenes, as well as improving what officers could do. Now that's been blocked we're going to be taking between 500 and 700 officers out of frontline services equivalent…. 500 to 700 officers and staff who were part of delivering services to London, maybe from call handling through to street policing, we're going to have to reduce that. That will have an effect on the streets of London. That's why we were trying to do a sort of a sort of rapid tech procurement to make a difference for Londoners.” SOPHY RIDGE: Will it make London less safe? SIR MARK ROWLEY: “Well, we're going to be smaller at the end of the year. So it'll be less safe at the end of the year than it was otherwise.”

🚨 Sadiq Khan's Consultation Stitch-Up    Permanent changes to Oxford Street were buried in a consultation advertised the day after the election.    Businesses and residents never stood a chance.    No answers on traffic, buses, or disabled access. No warning. No accountability.    Westminster Labour? Siding with the Mayor, not you.    We are demanding TfL and the Mayor scrap this process and start again properly.    Read our full statement: westm.news/SKCon

Just tried to pre-book an @Uber for tomorrow morning. 4.5mile journey 7.45am. West London to Twickenham. SIXTY QUID!! £60!!! FOUR MILES!! Remember how uber started really cheaply and put all those black cabs and private hire firms out of business?.... And how many people raved about these brilliant "disruptive technologies?".... Now we are almost totally dependent and totally f******.

The Conservatives in Bradford have called an Extraordinary Council Meeting. Scheduled to take place at 4pm on the 24th June, the purpose of the meeting is to demand that the National Inquiry into the Pakistani Rape Gangs is forced to investigate what took place in Bradford. Between the Conservatives and Reform, they have the numbers to pass the motion. Whatever their political differences, they will be forced to work together on this and prevent Labour from trying to block Bradford's inclusion from the national inquiry. Well done to every one of you whose pressure made this happen. It is a massive step forward. Now, if it was me drafting this motion, I would push it much further than just writing a letter to Longfield. I'd corner the National Inquiry and make them squirm. I'll share more in this evening's broadcast. Raja _________ All of my work is 100% free. There are no paywalls to access any of my content. I just ask those that can afford to do so to support me.

What on earth are posts like this about? Why does the Met Office feel the need to tell us this? And why does someone being gay or thinking they're a different sex than the one they actually are make them better at doing their jobs of forecasting the weather? Answers please @metoffice.

Diversity strengthens our people, our work and the communities we serve. Allyship matters, and we all have a role in helping create a culture of belonging.

I have a simple question to ask on X. Why are mainstream journalists and media outlets not examining the public evidence regarding Andy Burnham's role in the cover up of the Pakistani Rape Gangs during his tenure as Greater Manchester Mayor? Serious questions have been raised by whistleblower Maggie Oliver. The public deserves to know why Burnham promoted an Assurance Review in Oldham described as 'nothing short of a cover up'. Put aside my personal views for a moment. There are two possibilities here. Either Burnham and his so called team of experts set about delivering a sham review and protecting Labour Party politicians, council official and police officers, or concerns raised by a respected whistleblower are also baseless. Journalists should be examining the facts and timeline in detail so voters can judge for themselves. Not one has. Why? With Burnham set to become Prime Minister, why is the evidence of his role in the Pakistani Rape Gang cover up being ignored? The evidence is available for scrutiny, yet as the election approaches, there appears to be little media pressure to address this head-on. Just what do you think will happen once he becomes MP?

Some of the worst antisemitism in the pro-Pal movement has come from those wearing scrubs on protests. The most terrifying time to experience hate is when you’re sick and vulnerable. We do NOT need politics and division inside healthcare.

Shabana Mahmood has CONDEMNED the Henry Nowak protests in Southampton, saying those responsible will be arrested. Meanwhile, here she is on a pro-Palestine protest which turned violent and forced a supermarket to close. She has since deleted this video. Please don't RT it.

BREAKING: Even Keir Starmer's Chief Secretary Darren Jones admits he doesn’t have confidence in Rachel Reeves to grow the economy. Text messages continue to reveal what Labour will tell Peter Mandelson, but refuse to admit to the British people.

Reporting restrictions lifted. 15 men jailed for raping a girl as young as 14 in Bradford. Jameel Ahmed committed 4 rapes, yet could leave prison in a little over 5 years. Sentences for rape gang perpetrators are routinely pathetically short. Britain is broken.

Unbelievable!
Disturbing report in @London_Centric that @limebike quietly gave food delivery riders permission to ride at full speed through London parks. Am seeing @limebike executives later so will raise this. No problems with food delivery but pedestrian safety must come first.

Wait … what?? Remember Labour demanded every WhatsApp message from Tories because transparency mattered? And condemned government by WhatsApp? But now they say deleted messages are nothing to worry about. They are all the same. Power before country!
