“The knives are out for Starmer’s cabinet secretary. How long can he hold on?
Some blame Simon Case for briefing against No 10 enforcer Sue Gray. Others say the man appointed by Boris ‘has poisoned the well’ of the Labour government.
he may also have concluded that even though he is still a young man (he’ll only be 46 in December), he might not prosper under a new administration – especially with Gray in such a senior position.
Apart from any other considerations, it seems as though there was simply too much bad blood between the pair.
Case created his own nemesis: Gray, with the inevitable gruesome consequences we are witnessing now. Worst of all, as soon as a Labour victory looked assured, Case would have seen her coming. ”

The DT reports a report which claims the BBC is institutionally ant Israel – a fact well known on this site – since the BBC is now a Marxist / Islamic evil monster ….
STARTS The BBC’s “institutionally hostile” coverage of Israel has made Britain unsafe for Jews, a former director has claimed.
In a report published on Monday, Danny Cohen, the BBC’s director of television from 2013 to 2015, accuses the broadcaster of making “false and damaging claims about Israel’s conduct of this war”.
It also claims that “appalling lapses in accuracy have served to fuel the flames of anti-Semitism that have spread across the world”.
The document is a review of alleged breaches, errors and complaints made against the corporation in its coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
The report claims: “Whenever the corporation is faced with the choice of whose account or narrative to believe, it seldom points in Israel’s direction.”
Three Jewish groups endorsed Mr Cohen’s findings.
In a joint statement first published in The Times, the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Jewish Leadership Council, and the Community Security Trust warned that the BBC’s reporting has “led many British Jews to conclude that the BBC has become institutionally hostile to Israel”.
Sir Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi, also backed the report, saying: “The data could not be clearer: wherever sustained misinformation and demonisation of Israel is found, incidents of anti-Jewish racism surge.”
Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Cohen said that the widespread support for his review was a direct result of the risk posed by the BBC’s coverage to the “safety and security” of British Jews.
He said: “The reason the community organisations have got behind this is because they believe that the BBC’s hostile reporting on Israel has a direct impact on the safety and security of Britain’s Jewish community. That’s why they’re speaking up. They’re not speaking up simply because they disagree with some reporting.
“They have seen over the last year that [this reporting] has a real world impact on Jewish people, and that the BBC is contributing to an atmosphere in the UK in which Jewish people feel less safe because their reporting lacks impartiality.”
An earlier report into alleged BBC anti-Israel bias by the Israeli lawyer Trevor Asserson claimed the BBC had “breached rules 1,500 times” over the Gaza war.
In one example, it criticised the broadcaster for using the term “revenge attacks” in a headline about Israel’s response to the Oct 7 attacks, arguing it depicted Israel as a “vengeful aggressor”.
The review’s approach and bipartisan endorsement from the Jewish community is likely to cause extreme discomfort amongst BBC executives.
The Board of Deputies is usually seen as Left-leaning, and Phil Rosenberg, its new president, is a former Labour councillor.
Adamant that the catalogue of alleged errors must not be brushed aside, Mr Cohen has called for a judge-led inquiry into the report’s findings.
He said it was crucial that such an investigation was independent, as the BBC “has gotten into the habit of marking its own homework and finding that there may have been “one or two mistakes along the way, but there’s never any systemic problem”.
“I think when you’ve got 60 pages of a dossier, you can see there’s a systemic problem, and that’s what the BBC don’t want to acknowledge and accept.”
The corporation routinely states that it has a robust process in place to handle complainants, who have the right of appeal to the independent regulator, Ofcom.
‘Profoundly troubling’
Sir Ephraim, who backed the call for an independent inquiry, said: “Few institutions are as vital for our national cultural identity or for the health of our democracy as the BBC. That’s why the content of this report, which records the repeated and long-standing failure to ensure impartial and accurate news coverage of the existential war that Israel is fighting on multiple fronts, is so profoundly troubling.”
He explained that demonisation of Israel in the media increases anti-Jewish racism, saying this is “one of the reasons why the accuracy and objectivity of our national broadcaster is so important for the Jewish community”.
A BBC spokesman said: “The Israel-Gaza conflict is a polarising and difficult story to cover, and we understand there are a range of views. The BBC has focused on reporting the conflict impartially, bringing audiences breaking news, insight and analysis, and reflecting all perspectives.
“While we do not recognise the overall characterisation of our journalism in this report, we will, of course, always look at anything raised with us with care and attention.”ENDS

The Balen Report is a 20,000-word document written by the senior broadcast journalist Malcolm Balen in 2004 after examining hundreds of hours of the BBC’s coverage of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[1] The report was commissioned by former BBC Director of News, Richard Sambrook, following persistent complaints from the public and the Israeli government of allegations of anti-Israel bias.[2][3]
Alleged legal costs
In August 2012, the politics website The Commentator reported a Freedom of Information request they had made which indicated that the BBC had spent £330,000 in legal costs. This figure does not include BBC in-house legal staff time or Value Added Tax.[16]
However, the High Court then ruled that the BBC was not required to disclose the Balen Report, omission is the greatest lie

bbc reports on Far Right again
Far-right group using sports to ‘build militia’

They already have their militia, called antifa.
And, of course their political wing, the bbc and guardian.
“Examining Extremism: Antifa.
As protests raged in over 140 cities in the United States following the death of George Floyd, U.S. president Donald Trump raised the prospect of labeling Antifa as a terrorist group. On May 31, 2020, he tweeted, “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.” Attorney General William Barr also remarked that Antifa was present at some of the protests. “There is clearly some high degree of organization involved at some of these events and coordinated tactics that we are seeing,” he said, “Some of it relates to antifa, some of it relates to groups that act very much like antifa.” Barr described Antifa’s tactics as a “new form of urban guerrilla warfare” in the legacy of Mao Zedong.
Most Antifa supporters operate in secrecy to protect themselves from law enforcement agencies and right-wing extremists, and Antifa cells exist across North America, Australia, Europe—including the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany—and other areas of the globe.
Tactics and Targets
Antifa supporters conduct counter-protests to disrupt far-right gatherings and rallies. They sometimes organize in black blocs—ad hoc gatherings of individuals who wear black clothing, ski masks, scarves, sunglasses, and other material to conceal their faces—use improvised explosives and other homemade weapons, and resort to vandalism. In addition, Antifa members organize their activities through social media, encrypted peer-to-peer networks, and encrypted messaging services such as Signal. Antifa has also adopted anti-fascist symbols on their clothing, flags, and other paraphernalia, such as the two flags of the Antifaschistische Aktion and the three arrows of the Iron Front.
When Antifa adherents clash with far-right demonstrators, violence occasionally breaks out, often involving fistfights, knives, fireworks, Molotov cocktails, and other improvised weapons. In June 2016, for example, Antifa and other protesters confronted a neo-Nazi rally in Sacramento, California, resulting in a chaotic brawl in which at least eight people were injured—including five who were stabbed, among them Antifa activists. Similarly, in February, March, and April 2017, Antifa members fought alt-right demonstrators at the University of California, Berkeley, using bricks, pipes, hammers, and homemade incendiary devices. At the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, Antifa activists confronted alt-right demonstrators with clubs, shields, fists, chemical irritants, and balloons filled with paint and ink. ”

The Founding generation understood that large standing armies were dangerous threats to liberty, especially when controlled by authoritarian governments who sought to disarm the general population. The militia system, with deep roots in English history, was one way of ensuring that the nation could defend itself against all threats, foreign and domestic. Instead of a large full-time professional army, the government could, when needed, call upon the greater body of armed citizens to employ their personal firearms in the collective defense of the state or nation. A “well-regulated” militia simply meant that the processes for activating, training, and deploying the militia in official service should be efficient and orderly, and that the militia itself should be capable of competently executing battlefield operations.

AFAIK only the Channel Islands has any militia left.

No doubt the biased far left bbc will be eulogising Lebanon in the following days, so here’s a starter for the bbc feminists, it includes slavery of domestic migrant workers, something close to bbc hearts (if whitey does it):
“7 Facts About Women’s Rights in Lebanon
Civil Code vs. Religious Laws:
Lebanon has 15 personal status laws that are religion-based (Shia, Sunni and Druze) but has no civil code covering personal status issues such as divorce, custody of children or property rights. The religious courts preside over cases of personal status and operate with very little government oversight, resulting in the repeated violation of women’s rights. Because Lebanon’s constitution guarantees respect for “personal status and religious interests,” religious authorities have been keeping personal status laws under their control.
Domestic Violence:
The Lebanese parliament passed a domestic violence law in 2014, which includes protection measures, such as restraining orders and policing and court reforms, as well as funding to enact the reforms. The law also introduced an official definition of domestic violence into the Lebanese criminal code. However, Lebanese women are still at risk of marital rape, which because of pressure from religious authorities, is not apart of the criminal code. A spouse’s threat or violence to claim “marital right to intercourse” is a crime, but the actual physical act is not.
Migrant Domestic Workers:
The Kafala system allows migrants, mainly women from Africa and South East Asia, to work in Lebanon as domestic workers. The employers of the workers are in charge of their legal residency, as well as whether they can change or leave employers. Labor law protections, like minimum wage, working hour limits and overtime pay, exclude migrant workers. This lack of employer accountability often leads to cases of verbal, physical and sexual abuse. In March 2020, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Ministry of Labour met to discuss the reform of the Kafala system, but no legislation has been introduced as of yet.
Child Marriage:
Lebanon currently has no national minimum age of marriage. Instead, religious courts regulate when people can marry. The Human Rights Watch found that early marriage can lead to a higher risk of marital rape, exploitation, domestic violence and health problems. Those most at risk include Syrian and Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Lebanon has committed to eliminating child marriage by 2030 and reducing it by 20% by 2020. Currently, the Lebanese Higher Council for Childhood is developing a national strategy and action plan to address this problem. However, many drafts of law raising the legal age of marriage to 18 have not passed through the Lebanese parliament because of religious backlash.
Representation in Politics:
The Lebanese government created the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, however, this is largely symbolic and the first minister is a man. The Global Gender Report Gap states that gender equality in politics stands at 0.01%, as Lebanon has never had a woman as head of state and 97% of parliament is male. Currently, women’s organizations in Lebanon are demanding that parliament set a quota that 30% of seats should be for women, as no quota currently exists.
Nationality Law:
Lebanese women cannot pass their nationality to their children or foreign husbands, unlike Lebanese men. This deprives children of citizenship and increases the risk of statelessness. The Lebanese government has failed to address this issue, citing the threat of naturalization and resettlement of Palestinian and Syrian refugees as a reason not to change this law for women. The only exception is for unmarried mothers, as this group can pass on their nationality to their child if one year has passed and the child is still nationless.
Activism in Lebanon:
One prominent group advocating for women in Lebanon is KAFA. It is a feminist, secular, Lebanese, nonprofit organization fighting against discrimination against women. The organization focuses on family violence, human trafficking and child protection. This group was instrumental in the passing of the law against domestic violence in Lebanon’s parliament.
Many of the setbacks women face are the product of the fact that approximately 2.7 million people in Lebanon are living in poverty. Men, who have historically always held political and religious power, deprive women of rights as a strategy to keep women and children financially tied to men. This means money stays in the hands of majority groups and used at their discretion. However, many international and domestic groups are fighting through institutions and on the ground for representation, protection and power. This activism and attention may lead to a large improvement in women’s rights in Lebanon in the years to come.”

Why not get an electric bike, they’ll probably pay you to ride it in London, and give you a medal every month or something.
Unless you start nicking mobile phones and zooming off…
Then you could afford a garage in central London after a week or two of that

Has David Lammy changed sides …
Today’s ‘decisive step’ represents reality colliding with the Government’s rhetoric over Brexit: {twitter David Lammy}
1. We were told transition period would be ‘implementing’ future relationship, but it will be negotiating it
2. We were told UK will not pay money to EU after March 2019 but we will
3. We were told free movement will end in March 2019 but it will continue. Newly arriving EU citizens will get full rights
4. We were told UK will not have to abide by EU rules during transition but ECJ jurisdiction will continue, including rules we don’t have a role in making
5. We were told we would have new trade deals ready to sign and come into force on 29 March 2019. We don’t and we won’t be able to sign and implement trade deals during the transition period.
All in all after 21 months of posturing the Govnt has broken all its promises
P.S. If you are an MP you can get a free bike costing £650!

“Hezbollah has fired more than 8,000 rockets toward Israel since Oct. 7: Ambassador.
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.) said Sunday that Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has fired more than 8,000 rockets toward Israel since Oct. 7.
“Last night, hundreds of thousands of Israelis slept in bomb shelters, as Hezbollah, a terrorist organization, which holds Lebanon captive, fired upon them,” Danny Danon said at a U.N. meeting. “Since Oct. 8, over 8,000 rockets have been fired at our people, over 70,000 have been forced to flee their homes, becoming refugees in their own land.”
Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging fire recently, with more than 30 people in Lebanon being killed by an airstrike by Israel aimed at Hezbollah in Beirut, a Lebanese health official said Saturday.
Health Minister Firass Abiad said in a news conference that the strike resulted in 31 deaths, including seven women and three children. A minimum of 68 people were also injured, and 15 were still recovering in the hospital, according to Abiad.
The strike occurred Friday and killed the head of Hezbollah’s operations unit and the commander of the elite special forces unit, the Radwan Force, according to the Israeli military. Israel also said other senior Radwan commanders were killed.
The Friday strike followed Hezbollah launching about 140 rockets toward Israel, but most of them were downed via Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, according to the Israeli military.
“Let me be clear: We are a peaceful nation. We do not seek war, nor do we desire it,” Danon said. “However, we will not stand by as our people are attacked.” ”

Sperm donor cash rises by £10 as UK faces shortage
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm24vd6ldypo
“Going through the adoption process, you meet a lot of straight couples who have had fertility problems. So I wanted to help and give someone a chance to start a family, whether it’s someone with fertility problems, a lesbian couple or a single person.”
……………….
The HFEA says the majority of imported sperm in the UK comes from sperm banks in the US and Denmark. Nicole Nel, operations and laboratory manager at the London Sperm Bank, believes the shortage is not due to a “lack of applicants” in the UK, but “the lack in the quality of the applicants”.4 hours ago

……………………
https://www.met.police.uk/foi-ai/metropolitan-police/misconduct-hearings/2025/january/misconduct-hearing-for-inspector-charles-ehikioya/
Inspector Charles Ehikioya attached to Professionalism Headquarters will answer allegations that his conduct amounts to a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of:
Equality and Diversity
Discreditable Conduct
Challenging and Reporting Improper Conduct
Between 2017 and 2020 Inspector Ehikioya is alleged to have:
1. Participated in a WhatsApp chat with a Police Constable in which there was exchange of messages and media items. During the WhatsApp chat it is alleged that he sent/or received messages alleged to be inappropriate.

The matter set out above, if proven, is said to amount to gross misconduct, in that it is so serious as to justify dismissal.

“Our last remaining Blast Furnace in Wales closes today. Today we have nine nuclear reactors, and they supply 13% of the country’s electricity 24/7. All but one of these reactors are scheduled to be shut down by the end of 2028. One new nuclear plant has been signed off, but they take 10 years plus to build. However you look at this problem, our base power source is dropping away and quickly, with just a promise from Miliband that by 2030 we will be on Green Energy”
