NO BY-ELECTIONS THIS WEEK

TRUMP & MILIER TRASH DAVOS

It was Klaus Schwab's tough luck that his annual get together in the Swiss Alps followed so swiftly behind the recent presidential inauguration in Washington DC.  It meant that instead of nodding off to a speech from one of his globalist puppets like Biden or Obama, he would have to take some seldom heard insolence.  Step forward a man who is no stranger to socking it to Davos globalists, albeit this time it was via a video link from the White House.

As 45th President, Donald Trump was a little more nuanced in his debunking of Schwab's globalist dream, but as 47th he was resurgent with all subtlety jettisoned.  For here was a man who believes in the nation state and all that Davos aims to crush - national pride, sovereignty, liberty and free speech.

A few days later his speech was followed by that of a very similar outspoken conservative leader - the President of Argentina, Javier Milei.

Milei and Trump share many characteristics and objectives and their political success in their respective countries is undoubtedly tied to the fact that neither are career politicians.  Milei was an economist who, like Trump, rose to prominence very quickly with a plain-spoken agenda.  And that is putting it mildly!  Milei's pledges to slash government spending and shrink the state were often characterised by campaign appearances wielding a chainsaw no less.  His achievement in creating a government surplus in his first year as president was something he was keen to tell the Davos attendees about in person.

While Trump probably spent a little too much of his speech blowing his own trumpet, Milei quickly got down to the premise of his, and just wow.  What followed was a defence of Western civilisation and a direct attack on the woke communism promoted by the WEF.  Whatever Trump had said previously, Milei dialled up to eleven with a direct attack on the globalist agenda espoused by those seated in front and to the side of him.

Both speeches can be seen below.  The Trump address is shorter, but it is followed by a question and answers session with leading bankers...

WOKE WEDNESDAYS #15

Since 2013 the BBC has compiled an annual list of 100 'inspiring and influential' women from around the world.  The list is extremely diverse and features a wide range of professions, from poets and politicians to athletes and surgeons.  Kemi Badenoch made this year's list, as did Angela Rayner, while other politicians hailed from Taiwan, New Zealand and the United States.

There is no male version of the 100 Women list as it was initially intended as a purely feminist venture, but now...

The individual pictured above is listed in the category 'climate pioneers', which in itself suggests an establishment political slant that one would expect from the BBC.  His real name is Luis Guillermo Baptiste, but he now calls himself 'Brigitte'.  'Brigitte' is a Colombian biologist, which is quite ironic, seeing as he doesn't know that an adult male human being can never ever become an adult female human being.  And that is why he should never ever be on a list of 'inspiring women', but that's the Clown World we live in right now and the BBC and every other media and entertainment outlet captured by globalists will continue to spew such nonsense.

The full BBC list can be found here, and note the Beeb's attempt to legitimise his selection by highlighting a South American tree that can 'change sex' - a phenomenon that is so rare that it was only discovered for the first time in 2018!

SAME OLD FROM NEW MP JESS

Labour's Jess Asato and just three of the rape gangs she would rather we ignore

One of Labour's new intake of MPs recently debated the scourge of Pakistani grooming gangs with prominent Brexiteer Ben Habib.  Jess Asato, elected last July for Lowestoft in Suffolk, flatly denied there is a problem and used some vague and selective police statistics to divert attention.

It's the go-to argument for establishment lefties when it comes to the rape gangs - deflect from the issue and blame whitey.  We hear it time and again from politically correct journalists and Labour politicians - 'most child abusers and paedophiles in this country are actually white'.  No shit.  We still live in a majority white country (although it may not feel like it).  The same daft displacement tactic could be applied to most criminal acts, but in this case it is specifically designed to excuse rape gangs of an overwhelmingly Pakistani background.

In any case, these men are not simply 'child abusers' or paedophiles, for whom the term can apply to someone looking at child porn on their laptop (eh, Huw Edwards?).  This word play is used to deflect from and lessen the seriousness of the rape gangs, who we have become conditioned to refer to by that deliberately vague and gentler sounding term 'grooming gangs'.  These men are not merely combing the hair of their victims.

They are child rapists.

Furthermore, they are rapists who target children based on skin colour.  Imagine if the reverse were happening, and gangs of white men were picking up young Muslim girls for their sexual gratification?  The practice would be exposed to 24/7 rolling media coverage, universally condemned and those responsible locked up for decades.  Not to mention, our towns and cities would be in flames and there would be blood in the streets.

However, it is not simply fear of Muslims that motivates our media, police and politicians when covering for mass rape.  It is ideology.

Jess Asato is not an MP who relies on Muslim votes.  Ethnic Pakistanis make up barely 0.1 per cent of Lowestoft's overall population.  And yet when faced with the question of Pakistani rape gangs she falls over herself to defend them.  In doing so, she contradicts her ideological motive.  The core purpose of the left's argument is to detract from identifying Pakistani rape gangs based on ethnicity, as it is potentially deemed 'racist', but they nearly always point the finger at white sex offenders to achieve this.  In their leftist mindset it is acceptable to identify criminals based on skin colour, so long as they are white and it is being used to excuse and lessen the actions of others.

Of course the ultimate goal of covering for Pakistani rape gangs is to continue to perpetuate the myth that mass immigration and multi-culturalism have provided nothing but good for this country.  'Diversity is strength' is the mantra they repeat to themselves, and anything that contradicts it must be hidden from sight.  In essence, the establishment routinely sacrifices ethnic Brits on the altar of diversity, it simply doesn't matter whether they are white girls being raped over and over again by Pakistani gangs or white girls being blown to pieces at an Ariana Grande concert.

Listen to the following clip where Asato is asked whether we should 'face up' to the problem of Pakistani grooming gangs...

From the moment she is asked the question, there is instant denial and she points to a police statistic she claims represents the 'first three quarters of 2024' and shows that 85 per cent of 'group-based child abusers' were white.  Again, we are not talking about 'child abusers', we are talking about gang rape of minors.  It is also duly noted that she conveniently reeled off a statistic confined to last year, as opposed to previous years when hundreds of men of Pakistani heritage were being convicted from Bradford in the north to Oxford in the south and countless towns and cities in between.

Asato's response is symptomatic of the far left ideology that has taken over the British establishment.  Her party will never accept there is a problem, less so do anything about it.

COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 23.01.25

Six seats were up for grabs on Thursday, four of which were north of the border and two of those were a double header in Edinburgh.

The Lib Dems and SNP were defending a seat each in Edinburgh, but lost to the Tories and Labour.  The Conservative vote did particularly well in this by election.  Elsewhere in Scotland, Labour lost to the SNP in Stirling, while the party did not even bother defending their Shetland seat.

South of the border it was a Lib Dem hold in Liverpool and a Labour hold in the Potteries.  The latter saw a very strong swing to Reform UK who had not previously contested the seat.

WOKE WEDNESDAYS #14

There may be a ceasefire - for now - but that hasn't stopped the left parading through the streets of wintry London with their Palestinian flags.  Of all the hypocrisy and nonsense that springs forth from the mind of woke leftists is the movement within a movement that variously calls itself 'Gays for Gaza' or 'Queers for Palestine'.

Only Allah knows what Islamists on these marches think of their dumb comrades, but it surely isn't complimentary.

There is little point going over the irony in the Alphabet People's embrace of the Palestinian cause, a simple meme does the trick just fine - even if the example provided is from a football match in Glasgow!

CUT THROAT RICKY'S TRIAL DELAY

The trial of a Labour councillor that was due to begin this week has been pushed back by almost seven months.  Cllr Ricky Jones was filmed during last summer's riots making a cut throat gesture as he told a left-wing rally: "They are disgusting Nazi fascists and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all".  Jones was later arrested and charged with encouraging violent disorder.  He spent several weeks in custody before being released on bail.

Cllr Jones denies the charges and had been due to stand trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London on Monday.  However, the trial has been delayed until August 11 following an application to which the judge agreed.  The reason for the application has not been made public.

Jones represents the Princes ward on Dartford Borough Council in Kent, but remains suspended from Labour pending trial - if it ever takes place...

From the moment Donald Trump first suggested a presidential run, he was mocked and vilified by mainstream media and woke celebrities.  Well, they weren't laughing come election night in 2016 and they weren't laughing on election night last November, either.  They said Trump would 'never, ever be President of the United States', but he was, and now he is, again.

KHAN DISMISSES CRIME CONCERNS

The latest edition of London Mayor's Question Time generated a couple of viral clips showing Sadiq Khan in a typically arrogant and evasive light regarding crime in the capital.  First up was Susan Hall - Khan's opponent in last year's mayoral election - and the Tory leader in the London Assembly.  She repeatedly asked Khan to verify how many rape gangs were operating in the city, to which Khan refused to answer by claiming that he didn't understand the question.

This was Hall's second successive attempt to use the question time procedure in order to obtain an answer from Khan, but once again she drew a blank despite repeating the question over and over again.  Khan appeared to be trying to draw Hall into confirming the ethnic or religious identity to the grooming gangs, which of course we all know overwhelmingly share Khan's Pakistani Muslim heritage.  She refused to be drawn into his trap, which of course he would have used as an opportunity to brand her 'racist' - even though such gangs are undeniably a Pakistani Muslim problem.

Watch the clip below.

Next up was Alex Wilson, Reform UK's sole representative in the London Assembly.  He took Khan to task over knife crime, which he began by reeling off a shocking list of London stabbings that have taken place already in 2025 - including two murders.  Wilson then proposed a 1,000 strong police task force to deal with knife crime, funded by a cutback in the Mayor's inflated staffing budget.

As the lone Reform AM, Mr Wilson called on colleagues from other parties to back his proposal and asked the Mayor would encourage them to do so.  Khan's response was derogatory.  He simply replied: "As a rule of thumb I never encourage anyone to work with Reform".

Khan's arrogance knows no bounds.  Watch the clip below.

CAPLIN'S POWERFUL FOLLOWERS

Just a few of the prominent faces who follow Caplin's sordid X account

*** UPDATE *** Caplin deleted his X account on Thursday afternoon

Earlier this week we exposed the sickening debauchery of Ivor Caplin's X feed.  It was a small microcosm of something that would take Caplin hours, if not days, to delete now that he has been released from custody.  While it's not yet clear if he has been charged or released on bail, we know that he began using his X account again on Wednesday, because he retweeted several (non-pornographic) posts.  If no charges are brought against Caplin it would be an outrage, as the self-styled 'paedophile hunters' who snared him will have supplied police with all the proof they need.  Furthermore, police officers are known to have raided Caplin's Hove flat while he was in custody and according to neighbours the search 'took several hours'.

However, we also know that Caplin has powerful friends.  As soon as news broke of his arrest, X users began to make notes of who followed his account and the names were huge...

The official Labour party X account was following Caplin's account at the time of his arrest, although it was quickly unfollowed after the news broke.  Many other high profile Labour figures also followed Caplin on X, some of whom have since unfollowed him - including the likes of Yvette Cooper and Wes Streeting - but not before eagle-eyed X users screenshot their names.

At the time of his arrest, serving Labour MPs who followed Caplin's X account included Luke Akehurst (North Durham), Phil Brickell (Bolton West), Liam Byrne (Birmingham Hodge Hill), Jim Dickson (Dartford), Clive Efford (Eltham & Chislehurst), Fabian Hamilton (Leeds East), Sharon Hodgson (Washington & Gateshead South), Dan Jarvis (Barnsley North), Gerald Jones (Merthyr & Aberdare), Alison McGovern (Birkenhead), Anna McMorrin (Cardiff North), Fred Thomas (Plymouth Moor View), Gareth Thomas (Harrow West), Matt Turmaine (Watford), Paul Waugh (Rochdale) and Catherine West (Hornsey & Friern Barnet).

Serving Labour ministers who follow or followed his account include Janet Daby (Lewisham East), Stephen Doughty (Cardiff South & Penarth), Nia Griffith (Llanelli), Andrew Gwynne (Gorton & Denton), Peter Kyle (Hove & Portslade), Luke Pollard (Plymouth Sutton & Devonport), Jonathan Reynolds (Stalybridge & Hyde) and last, but not least - Yvette Cooper, Dave Lammy, Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting.

A fairly recent photo of Caplin with his local MP and current frontbencher Peter Kyle

At the time of writing, Caplin's account is also followed by Lord (Michael) Cashman, Baroness (Janet) Royall, Baroness (Jacqui) Smith, former MPs Wayne David and Julie Elliot, former PM Gordon Brown and the despicable Alastair Campbell.  However, the name of most interest is that of the deceased former MP Jack Dromey, who - along with Patricia Hewitt and his wife Harriet Harman - were involved in the PIE scandal of the 1970s.  P.I.E stands for the Paedophile Information Exchange, which campaigned for the abolition of the age of consent and was linked to a libertarian group of which the trio were prominent members.

For those who suspect that the total lack of media coverage over the weekend from the major news channels is perhaps indicative of some kind of conspiracy, it will surely be of interest to note that many journalists follow Caplin too - including the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, the senior editor of Newsnight, the i newspaper's Benjamin Butterworth, Dan Hodges of The Daily Mail and many more.  If they were able and/or willing to report freely, why did none of them expose the disgusting content of Caplin's X feed?

Finally, to cap it all off, Caplin's account is followed by the official X account of the Crown Prosecution Service.  It will be of no great surprise to anyone if no charges are brought...

WOKE WEDNESDAYS #13

The alleged 'wild-fires' raging north and west of Los Angeles have exposed a litany of woke policies in the socialist republic of California.  Now we use the word 'allegedly', because there is currently zero evidence that these fires occurred naturally and were not in actual fact the result of arson.  What we do know for certain is that the spread of the fires, and the death and destruction they have left in their wake, could have been contained earlier were it not for one crucial obstacle facing the fire service - a lack of water.

When it came to tackling the fires, crews found that local fire hydrants were low to empty.  This made the disaster much worse and no-one was more puzzled about the supply issues than the frontline firefighters.  It was, after-all, the middle of winter and not exactly a time of year known for drought.  One of the reasons for the lack of water turned out to be the deliberate emptying of reservoirs into the Pacific, with the supposed environmental aim of aiding a tiny fish species called the 'smelt'.  This would explain why one reservoir was totally empty as the fires began to spread.

This led to awkward questions for the clown governor running California, the clown mayor running Los Angeles and the clown lesbians running the fire department.  Yes, that's right, because the LA fire service is about as woke as it gets, thanks to the fact both the state and the city are run by far left Democrat fruitcakes who are more concerned about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) than putting out fires and saving lives.

The LA fire department has in place a dystopian 'racial equity plan', which identifies every empoyee by their racial background in order to ensure that it doesn't hire too many white people.  New recruits are also made to undergo DEI training, so that they understand socialist concepts such as 'cultural competency' and 'unconscious bias'.  There is also a drive to employ more women firefighters, which was alluded to by the assistant fire chief (also a lesbian) in an outrageous news report in which she mocked genuine concerns about the physical demands of a firefighter.  She said that her response to a complaint from a bereaved widow that female firefighters couldn't carry her husband out of a fire would be:  "He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire".

It appears that the altar of DEI trumps everything, and all those heavy set individuals will just have to burn to death.

And lo and behold, as the fires began to rage, the fire chief declared that 'there are not enough firefighters'.  Well, perhaps if you employed people based on merit instead of rampantly discriminating against white men, there wouldn't be such a shortage...

The image below may well be AI generated, but LA fire hydrants have in the past been painted in the colours of the Pride flag.  Priorities...

TULIP CUT BACK - FOR NOW

The loss of Tulip Siddiq will hit Starmer personally

Imagine an anti-corruption minister being caught up in a corruption scandal.  Well, that's what happened to Labour's Tulip Siddiq last month, but rather than fall on her sword or get the boot, she limped on for almost a month - with the personal backing of Starmer himself.

Siddiq and her prominent Bangladeshi family are being investigated over claims they embezzled almost £4bn from a 2013 infrastructure deal between Bangladesh and Russia.  The prime minister of Bangladesh at that time was Sheikh Hasana, who is Siddiq's aunt.  There have also been questions around various properties in London used by Siddiq, that have either been given to her or are owned by supporters of her aunt's political party.  Supporters of her aunt's party - the Awami League - are also alleged to have aided Siddiq's election campaigns, referred to in a 2017 speech in which she declared: "I want to thank you because without your support, I would not have been able to win my seat."

Finally, in a now deleted statement from her website, Siddiq announced that she worked directly for the Awami League as part of its 'UK and EU lobbying unit' and 'election strategy team'.

It all stinks of that 'foreign interference' that Keir Starmer takes selective umbrage to.  However, like his globalist comrades in Gates and Blackrock, Two Tier makes an exception for Tulip Siddiq and her Bangladeshi helpers.

For Starmer, it is not just about tip-toeing around the Muslim community, for he and his wife are said to be personal friends of Siddiq, who is the MP for a neighbouring constituency.  This explains his totally different approach to his departing ministers, of which Siddiq is the second.  Louise Haigh was immediately told to clear her desk in November when her fraud conviction was revealed, and while Siddiq has not yet been found guilty, the fact that Starmer allowed such an untenable and absurd situation to unfold over the course of almost four weeks speaks volumes - as does his response to her resignation.

"I want to be clear that the door remains open for you going forward", were Starmer's closing words in a letter accepting her resignation.  In the event that Siddiq is cleared of wrongdoing, her front bench return appears extremely likely.

Starmer would perhaps be wise to put aside their friendship and heed the advice of Sir Laurie Magnus, the 'independent standards commissioner' who spent a paltry eight days investigating Siddiq after she referred herself to him last week.  This whirlwind probe was confined to a single allegation that Siddiq took ownership of a London flat from an Awami League supporter and lied about it.  Sir Laurie's three page report to the Prime Minister - of the UK (not Bangladesh) - absolved her of breaking the ministerial code, saying that the gift of the property was all a misunderstanding and she had 'inadvertently misled' the public.  However, he ended his report with this closing statement: "It is regrettable that she [Siddiq] wasn't more alert to the potential risks to her reputation and that of the government of her close family's links to Bangladesh.  You will want to consider her ongoing responsibilities in the light of this."

The old British phrase that ends with 'nine bob note' may well be aptly dedicated to the former 'anti-corruption minister', but we couldn't possibly put that in writing...

While Tulip maintains her innocence, there is clearly much more to this story that is yet to unfold.

TOON TUESDAY #40

After asking regulators for advice on how to kick-start economic growth in Labour's faltering economy, Starmer now says that Artificial Intelligence is the answer.  Well, when you've got little intelligence on your front bench, suppose you've got to look elsewhere...

CAPLIN'S X DEBAUCHERY

As the world beyond the entrapment of mainstream news awaits further information regarding Ivor Caplin's arrest, real journalists have been delving into the online depravity of the ex-Labour minister.  We can tell you from very personal experience - it is not a pretty sight.  In fact, it's sickening.

As Telegraph columnist Madeline Grant put it: "Caplin's Twitter feed is 10 per cent praising Keir [Starmer] and 90 per cent sharing gay porn... and asking random people to bum him".

It may be hard to believe that a former Labour minister would routinely publish such debauchery for the world to see - let alone for the viewing pleasure of such prominent followers as Rachel Reeves, Dave Lammy, Yvette Cooper and Gordon Brown to name but a few - but his account is still live at the time of writing.

Here are a few screenshots we've grabbed, censored for your stomach, as well as some others courtesy of Guido Fawkes and others.

As mentioned above, Caplin's X account is followed by a large number of establishment figures - including serving Labour MPs, former MPs, serving ministers, secretaries of state, peers, journalists and a former PM.  We will publish a list of names shortly.
