Plans have been drawn up to send small boat migrants to six military bases around the country as ministers come under growing pressure to close asylum hotels. A list of sites from Surrey to Cumbria – all of which could be brought into use within weeks - has been compiled by the Ministry of Defence, the Mail on Sunday can disclose. The plan would see migrants accommodated on Army training camps where facilities have recently been upgraded but which are not currently being used by the military. The bases include two sites in Norfolk, West Tofts and Wretham; Knook Camp...

The BBC is preparing to launch an investigation to assess bias in its climate change coverage, amid a growing crisis at the corporation. The broadcaster has decided to review its climate and energy policy reporting after a string of controversies. It has been forced to make a series of corrections, with some programmes being removed altogether. It comes with the BBC at the centre of a bias row after The Telegraph published a leaked letter, which had been sent to members of the BBC board by Michael Prescott, a former standards adviser. He wrote of his “despair at inaction” by...

Zohran Mamdani’s freebie-filled agenda didn’t extend to his victory night party that featured a pricey cash bar for his throngs of supporters – including $13 beers. The jubilation at the Brooklyn Paramount was fueled by Mamdani’s win over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa – as well as espresso martini coolers that reportedly cost $22 and $15 glasses of Riesling white wine.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Acorn squash, Spam and baby food lined the shelves on a recent day at a college food pantry in California’s capital city, a resource that students receiving federal aid to purchase groceries may have to increasingly rely on because that assistance has been in limbo during the government shutdown. Hundreds of students at California State University, Sacramento, or Sac State, visit the school’s Basic Needs Resource Center every week, where they can select up to a dozen items per trip — ranging from fresh produce and meat to toiletries and secondhand clothes. “It’s a big blessing,”...

The revelers who packed Tuesday's election night party in L.A.'s Highland Park neighborhood were roughly 2,500 miles from the concert hall where New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani celebrated his historic win. In Los Angeles, activists with the Democratic Socialists of America have already fired up their campaigns for the June election, sending out canvassing teams and scheduling postcard-writing events for their chosen candidates. But they're also taking fresh inspiration from Mamdani's win, pointing to his inclusive, unapologetic campaign and his relentless focus on pocketbook issues, particularly among working-class voters. The message that propelled Mamdani to victory resonates just as...

The Muslim Brotherhood, a transnational organization founded in 1928, seeks to impose its theocratic vision through methodical indoctrination and adaptation to local contexts. Taking advantage of Western freedoms, the brotherhood is gradually Islamizing by targeting young people and infiltrating associative and political circles. Report of the conference by Florence Bergeaud-Blackler given at the Hauts-de-France regional council in Lille after its cancellation at the University of Lille.

Zohran Mamdani, NYC’s youngest mayor at 34, swept to victory on November 4, 2025, with a viral rap and a socialist vow to make “This City Belong to You” through rent freezes and free buses. Yet this charismatic outsider, lacking the managerial scars to navigate a $100 billion budget, embodies a competence vacuum. His promise of radical excellence arrives as the rentier economy — fueled by tax loopholes and asset inflation — starves the city’s treasury, sounding the alarm of institutional collapse. The juxtaposition is shocking, yet deeply illuminating: an administration, defined by the rise of an inexperienced elite, declares...

How did an Islamist socialist who posed with an unindicted terror bombing coconspirator become elected to head a city of terror survivors, the “most Jewish city in America” and how did he defeat an Italian-American political dynasty in what was once an Italian-American city? Because that New York City, the one people imagine from movies, no longer exists. In 1989, the last year of Mayor Ed Koch’s administration, Jews outnumbered Muslims roughly 4 to 1. By 2013, the last year of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration, the number of Muslims had doubled and the number of Jews continued to drop. ...

Jimmy Kimmel’s wife admitted she fired off “many” emails to Trump-supporting family members begging them not to vote for him in last year’s election — and has since cut ties with her right-wing relatives.

GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver. The men had little in common beyond their Venezuelan seaside hometowns and the fact all four were among the more than 60 people killed since early September when the U.S. military began attacking boats that the Trump administration alleges were smuggling drugs. President Donald Trump and top U.S. officials have alleged the craft were being operated by narco-terrorists and cartel members bound...

Way back in January 2020, Peter Thiel wrote an email to Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Marc Andreessen and others warning that Millennials turn toward socialism needed to be taken seriously. Here's that email which started going viral this week in the wake of Zohran Mamdani's win in NYC. Here is Peter Thiel’s email to Zuck and Andreessen in Jan-2020 predicting socialism.Tl;drtoo much student debt and lack of affordable housing keeps young people with negative capital for too long.

Donald Trump’s new stock-buying strategy isn’t socialism, but it is a step toward a government-controlled economy. Recently, a handful of people—none of whom have ever invited me to their birthday party—accused President Donald Trump of being a socialist. Gavin Newsom, who many pundits credibly believe is the governor of California, said Trump is committing socialism by having the federal government buy stock in private companies. At the time of writing, the government has taken shares in Intel, MP Materials, Lithium Americas, U.S. Steel, and even a Canadian mining company that mines cobalt or some other stupid mineral I hate. This...

Until the time that Barack Obama took office, I had a reasonable amount of faith in the U.S. federal government. I knew that those on the Left in positions of leadership, as well as some on the Right, often concocted narratives for their own ends. The mainstream media decidedly leaned Left, and shaded every story, feature, event, and happening in the U.S. and around the world to their own point of view. Still, it was easy enough to get past what they were claiming. Maybe Some Good Could Result With the ascension of Barack Obama and his subsequent election as...

More than 300 ostriches were shot dead by a firing squad in Canada late Thursday — ending a months-long standoff that drew in US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and New York billionaire John Catsimatidis, who had begged officials to spare the birds. The mass killing unfolded at Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, British Columbia, hours after the Supreme Court of Canada refused to block a federal order to cull the flock following an avian flu outbreak, CBC reported. Canada apparently snubbed its neighbor to the south by refusing to spare the 330 giant birds to be used for...

Nearly 250 New York City police officers resigned in the weeks leading up to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory, despite the democratic socialist softening his earlier anti-police rhetoric. Mamdani, 34, became the youngest mayor in city history Tuesday after a campaign centered on affordability and fueled by savvy social media outreach that energized younger voters. The 245 resignations in October represent a 35 percent increase compared to the 181 officers who left during the same month last year, according to Police Pension Fund data. In response, the NYPD told Daily Mail 'We are laser-focused on addressing our recruitment efforts and bringing...

KENNER, La. — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 15 people in Kenner after an investigation at the Kenner boat launch. Kenner police said on Friday, around 9 p.m., federal agencies and state police investigated the boat launch and pier park area. Police said this was due to complaints they received from residents about trash, noise and traffic issues in the area. The area was being patrolled by police, and the investigation was conducted. Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley issued the following statement:“𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬...

The BBC will apologise for the misleading editing of a Donald Trump speech in a Panorama documentary, the Telegraph can disclose. Samir Shah, the BBC’s chairman, will write to the culture, media and sport committee on Monday to express regret for the way the speech, made on the day of the Jan 6 2021 Capitol riot, was spliced together. The apology will heap further pressure on Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, to quit over an 8,000-word dossier compiled by a whistleblower that alleged widespread bias within the corporation. The Telegraph has previously disclosed that both Mr Davie and Mr...

The German people are increasingly concerned about safety in public spaces compared to before the 2015 migrant crisis, which was imposed on the country by the Berlin establishment. Nearly half of German voters say they are personally concerned about their safety in public, according to the Deutschlandtrend survey by the Infratest Dimap opinion research institute, which surveyed 1,300 eligible voters between November 3 and 5. According to the survey, 48 per cent of Germans feel uneasy in parks, public squares, streets, or trains and buses. This represented nearly a 100 per cent increase over the past decade, the pollster noted....
