Angela Rayner has resigned as Deputy Prime Minister after a Telegraph investigation into her tax affairs.
She is quitting after admitting underpaying stamp duty on her £800,000 seaside flat in Hove, East Sussex.
It came a day after The Telegraph revealed that a conveyancing firm she had used went public to say it had been made “scapegoats” and did not give her tax advice.
The co-creator of Father Ted, Graham Linehan, was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Monday on suspicion of ‘inciting violence’. His crime? Criticising trans ideology on social media.
No sooner had Linehan disembarked his flight from Arizona than he was apprehended by armed police. In a post on Substack, he explained that his arrest was for three posts on X. One of the tweets read: ‘If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.’
This is how Graham Linehan shows up for trial in the UK just days after being arrested in the London airport for posting "offensive tweets"

A migrant who tried to kiss her a schoolgirl and told her he wanted to have a baby with her before later groping a woman who came to her aid was convicted of sex offences today.
Ethiopian national Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 41, sparked a huge anti-migrant demonstration in Epping, Essex, and prompted the local council to try and shut down the town’s Bell Hotel where he was a resident after his arrest in July.
He made inappropriate comments and tried to kiss the 14-year-old as she sat eating pizza with friends on a bench after school.
Nigel Farage said Britain was at “war with freedom” as he prepared to testify in US Congress over limits to free speech.
The Reform UK leader is at a hearing this morning in Washington, raising concerns about British restrictions on freedom of speech in the US.
Mr Farage has raised the case Graham Linehan, the Father Ted creator, who was arrested by five armed officers over posts he made on X about transgender people. Mr Farage earlier described Linehan’s arrest as a “war on freedom”.
Too many of our academic institutions have substituted rigorous research for racial activism. University of Leicester’s Centre for Hate Studies is just the latest example. They have published a report which warns of “rural racism” in the “overwhelmingly white” British countryside.
The researchers – who spoke to just 115 people and 20 community groups over a two-year period – also lamented the lack of religiously-sensitive facilities in rural areas that are defined by their traditional pub culture and other “monocultural customs”.
I make no predictions when it comes to social movements because they are unpredictable, at least when USAID isn’t funding a “color revolution.”
But if I were Keir Starmer, I would be talking to my doctor about anti-anxiety meds and treatments for chronic migraines, because it sure looks like the pressure is building on the migrant issue.

Two in three adults would not fight for King or country if it came under attack, a new study has revealed.
The research found 64 per cent of respondents were unwilling to defend Britain in the event of war – while a further six per cent expressed uncertainty.
In every age bracket of the poll, conducted by the Daily Express, the majority of respondents were ‘not very willing’ or ‘not willing at all’ to serve.
THIS week I reported in TCW on Reform UK’s new manifesto for national security and justice, announced on Tuesday. I observed problems in the party’s messaging, even before the mainstream media misrepresented it. I noted contradictions with the party’s prior positions. I noted that Reform was adopting positions already proposed by erstwhile members Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain) and Ben Habib (Advance UK) without admitting it.
Well, as soon as Wednesday, Nigel Farage was backtracking. He had said in a prior interview and at the launch on the Tuesday that immigrant children present a ‘difficult and complicated issue’, but confirmed that all illegals would be deported. Meanwhile Zia Yusuf, the party’s lead for government efficiency, said young men would be prioritised for deportation, while women and children would be deported in the second half of the five-year programme.
Never believe a word Farage says especially concerning Islam and remigration.
The story of the Scottish lass arrested for brandishing a knife and axe in the face of a migrant who was apparently threatening and taunting her swept through the West. This bold young woman symbolized the fighting spirit of those who are sick and tired of having their governments flood their countries with hostile Muslim migrants who act like conquerors, entitled to lodging, food, and rape. After a day or so of stunned silence, though, the British establishment has struck back with a story of an innocent Bulgarian couple threatened and taunted by a crazed teen.
The question, then, is where does the truth lie? For those who have seen the British government’s hostility to the Britons, the answer seems clear.
A council has offered support to staff who feel ‘unsettled’ by St George’s flags as it may ‘evoke feelings of discomfort and be associated with anti-immigration rhetoric’.
Essex county council bosses sent out an email to workers addressing the increasing number of England flags being raised across the country as part of an online campaign called Operation Raise the Colours.
The email encouraged staff to ‘reach out’ to their managers, adding: ‘We stand firmly against all forms of racism and discrimination, and we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone.’

I’m starting to think Yvette Cooper is a Reform UK plant. What else could explain the debacle that is the Court of Appeal case about the Bell Hotel in Epping?
Last week, a High Court judge granted a temporary injunction, barring the Bell’s use for housing asylum seekers, citing a breach of planning law and the intolerable fear of crime and unrest in the area.
'Is that what we've come to? That we can't keep our children safe coming home from school in broad daylight?'

Home Office Wins Appeal to Lift Epping Migrant Hotel Injunction
This is a dark day for the people of Epping.
Well at least we know for certain now that the regime values asylum seekers more than the natives

A temporary injunction that blocked asylum seekers being housed at an Essex hotel has been overturned at the Court of Appeal.
Lawyers for The Bell Hotel in Epping and the government challenged a High Court ruling that would have forced 138 asylum seekers to leave the site by 12 September.
Overturning the injunction, Lord Justice Bean said the High Court ruling was “seriously flawed in principle”.
Epping Forest District Council, which obtained the initial injunction, said “the battle was not over”.

Two men, reported to be Afghan asylum seekers, have pleaded not guilty to charges in connection with the rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton.
Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, appeared at Warwick Crown Court and denied rape, sexual assault and kidnap charges, alongside Mohammad Kabir, 23, who denied kidnap, strangulation and aiding and abetting the rape of a girl aged under 13.
Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch previously accused police and the Home Office of covering up the pair’s immigration status. Reform Party leader, Nigel Farage, also called for the Warwickshire force to release the information.
The men were remanded in custody and are due to face trial on 26 January, 2026.
Women and children would be deported under Reform UK’s plans to remove 600,000 illegal migrants within five years, Nigel Farage has said.
Emergency powers would be passed to stop all small boat arrivals within days of a Reform-led government coming to power, he said, and there would be a “carrot and stick approach” to encourage people to leave, followed by forcible detentions and removals.
Farage raised the prospect that children born in the UK to parents who arrived illegally could also be deported, but added such a move would be “complex”.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
The number of sexual offence convictions of foreign nationals has increased by 62 per cent in four years, according to new data revealing the scale of migrant crime.
Foreign nationals accounted for one in seven (14.1 per cent) of sexual offence convictions last year, including rapes, according to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) data, drawn from the Police National Computer.
The rate of increase between 2021 and 2024 is higher than for British nationals, whose sexual offence convictions rose by 39.3 per cent over the same period, according to the figures, obtained under freedom of information laws.
