Taliban cancelling German deportation flights, claiming they need more diplomats in Germany. Nonetheless, it shows that deportation to Afghanistan is possible, but negotiation is to be expected.
Jun 5
Die Taliban erpressen die Bundesregierung: Geplante Abschiebeflüge nach Kabul werden kurzfristig abgesagt, offenbar um mehr eigene Diplomaten in Deutschland durchzusetzen. 2026 gab es bislang nur zwei Abschiebeflüge nach Afghanistan.

When we released @fionagoddarduk’s transcript & podcast with Julie Bindel, we had to be very careful to not name Fahim Iqbal. He was just sentenced for chasing a man down and cutting his leg off in the street with a machete. These insane rules need change

After more than two years of investigation, it turns out there was no conspiracy at the Potsdam "Remigration" meeting and there will be no criminal charges. It made for febrile headlines but turns out to have been rather more anodyne. tagesspiegel.de/politik/pots…

They've all stopped just short of saying it but the endgame of everything the Government and other authorities have said this week is censoring the Belfast video, the Nowak arrest video, and any other videos of politically inconvenient atrocities

Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley very strong on scenes in Belfast:
"I was watching a bit of the news last night, and I can't remember what channel it was, but a journalist was talking about 'these protesters.'
"I thought, that isn't a protest. People are setting fire to cars. That's not a protest. That's violent disorder, that's criminality. I really feel for Northern Ireland colleagues who are wrestling with that. It's really, really difficult.
"We live in these volatile times and, some of what goes on online whips up, sentiment on the street.
"We know that Russian state actors, Iranian state actors, they want to sow discord on the streets of the UK. So this is a really complex issue we're wrestling with. So you've got very polarised debates in the UK, and you've got other people overseas who want to drive wedge issues to create disorder, and you've got the great men and women of Police Service Northern Ireland on the streets in the middle of that, trying to sort of protect people and stop people burning down houses and things. It's awful."

Totally agree! When @Casey_Review and I met last year this was the basis of the conversation…. So to see that only “child prostitution “ offences were included was absolutely a cop out by the government! Yet again! The easy option!
So many child victims of the “grooming gangs” that I’ve supported over almost 15 years have long lists of convictions for public order, minor offences which they were charged with when the police/social services SHOULD have been protecting them instead!
It’s much easier to prosecute a child than pull together a lengthy investigation of a sophisticated organised network of abusers! Cheaper. Less resource intensive! And so that’s what happened!
Shocking! Inhumane! Neglect of duty in my opinion and that’s what I’ve said for 30 years, even as a cop! And this is exactly what happened to many of the Rochdale girls of course, ruining lives! Preventing them moving forward, struggling to move beyond their abuse.
So it’s really good to see Louise casey reiterating this and of course reading @fionagoddarduk and Jamie Leigh share their personal horrific stories hits this point home again.
And keeps the pressure on those in power who constantly drag their feet and do nothing to bring meaningful change!! 😡

The Government wants to instal spyware on your phone, impose age-verification on social media, and control what you can read online if it feels threatened by the public.
Anyone supporting age verification to protect children is complicit in the wider control of the population.

In my final piece as @CapX Deputy Editor, I reflect on the last two and a half years of profligacy.
There's much to be done, and I'll be continuing the fight at @Prosperity_Inst as Senior Press Officer.
From Tuesday, I'll also be writing a fortnightly column in @CityAM👇

An important soft power project for Britain should be to spend several tens of millions on a multigenerational saga about Ulster unionists that can run on Netflix. It would have enormous benefits in educating the USA.

Hans-Georg Maassen is an unlikely dissident. In his trademark three-piece suits and small glasses, he looks more like a law professor. Indeed, that is what he studied, earning a doctorate on the legal status of asylum seekers in international law.
This bourgeois exterior is the perfect cover for a man who was Germany's top spy, charged with protecting the country from the far-right and Islamists.
But now he is no longer under the quiet protection of the German state; he is its victim. He is under investigation from the agency he once led, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).

Very proud of my wife's most recent @spectator article in which she interviews the fascinating @HGMaassen, the former German spy chief now under investigation by his old agency for Kafkaesque reasons. spectator.com/article/make-g…

Itself merely a slightly expanded parochialism. We could look a little further and observe countries which don't have our issues, like Japan on crime or Singapore on asylum. Our problems aren't acts of nature. They are rooted in bad laws, which we can and must change.
Jun 10
The spectacular insularity of UK political debate that doesn't recognise that our issues are the same as in many other countries and therefore there is probably something bigger going on than government failure.

On an issue like asylum, many Western countries do have the same problems. Of course they do, we are all part of the same failed post-war system! That's why we need to end it. Singapore, which deliberately stayed out, does not have violent Sudanese men living at taxpayer expense.

Ash described the 2011 riots that saw an Ealing pensioner punched to death by a looter as “taut, tense, purposeful” and added that they showed the “explosive power that can be unleashed when marginalised people see themselves reflected in each other’s struggle”.
I suppose it’s ok to torch people’s homes, as long as it’s done by marginalised people?

"As Novara’s James Butler puts it: “Broken windows are a profoundly rational response – maybe the only really rational response – to so broken a society.”"

Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.
When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.
