Sir Sadiq Khan has praised Zohran Mamdani’s “fun” and “authentic” campaign and said he is looking forward to seeing the result of the New York mayoral election, which the Democratic candidate is expected to win. The mayor of London appeared to come close to endorsing Mamdani, 34, as New Yorkers headed to the polls. Reflecting on the parallels between himself and Mamdani, Khan said the self-described democratic socialist was “reaching” parts of New York that had been “underserved”. “I’ve seen from afar the campaign that Zohran Mamdani has run. He appears to be having fun,” Khan told Bloomberg at the...

Nigel Farage has likened masked Muslim protesters marching through the streets of east London to a 'foreign invading army'. The Reform UK leader today condemned the scenes of balaclava-clad men who declared they were 'uniting' while chanting a series of messages in Arabic. He revealed that Saturday's Tower Hamlets demonstration - which came after police banned a planned UKIP protest to 'reclaim' the area - was 'one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen in my life'. Many young men dressed in black, with hoods up and their faces covered, roamed the streets waving Bangladesh and Palestine flags where...

A Jewish lawyer was arrested in London for wearing a Star of David necklace, with police claiming it could “antagonize” protesters, sparking outrage and condemnation from Israeli officials. Police officers from London's Metropolitan Police arrested a Jewish lawyer for openly wearing a Star of David necklace, alleging that doing so "antagonized" pro-Palestinian protesters, and that the symbol could "cause offense," British outlet The Telegraph reported on Saturday. The lawyer claimed to the Telegraph that he was handcuffed and detained for almost 10 hours in an attempt to "criminalize the wearing of a Star of David."

Sir Keir Starmer will warn students not to take part in “un-British” protests marking the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas massacre and accuses those who call for violence against Jews of a “total loss of empathy and humanity”. Writing in The Times, the prime minister says that Britain has become indifferent to antisemitism, posing a profound threat to the nation and its values. He accuses those taking part in the protests of a lack of respect for others and urges the police to use the “full force of the law” against those who call for violence against Jews. “This...

Sham Uddin, devout Muslim barrister, has repeatedly weaponized his platform to spew rabid vitriol, masquerading it as "justice." His rhetoric isn't mere activism—it's a toxic brew of Jew-hatred and baseless fabrications that echo the worst historical apologists for evil, like Candace Owens' grotesque defenses of Josef Mengele. Uddin's "contributions" to outlets like TV Islam only amplify this poison, lending a veneer of legitimacy to what is, in truth, a dangerous incitement against Jews and the State of Israel, the world's bulwark against Islamist extremism. Both disseminating which they themselves do not believe.A Pattern of Hatred: From "Free Palestine" Rants to...

A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice over an allegation linked to a BBC Panorama investigation. The officer is a sergeant based at Charing Cross police station and was arrested in relation to an incident that took place on Thursday, a statement from the Met said. They have since been bailed and suspended from duty. The arrest follows a Panorama undercover investigation that revealed serving Metropolitan Police officers at the central London station called for immigrants to be shot, revelled in the use of force and were dismissive of rape claims....

Deputy PM David Lammy was booed at a Manchester synagogue vigil after the Yom Kippur attack. The assailant, previously accused of rape, had been freed on bail. His father condemned the attack but had praised Hamas on Oct. 7. Ynet Global|10.03.15.14:58 Jihad al-Shami, the attacker who carried out the Yom Kippur synagogue attack in Manchester, had recently been released on bail after being accused of rape and was due to appear in court soon, Britain’s Guardian reported Friday. According to the report, al-Shami was investigated over a rape earlier this year and had past convictions for several criminal offenses. Despite...

Jews across the UK have been urged to lock their doors and not to congregate in groups as police patrols are stepped up outside synagogues and in areas with large Jewish populations after the Manchester attack. Sir Keir Starmer told the Jewish community that he would do “everything in my power to guarantee you the security you deserve” as he announced additional police officers and assets would be deployed to all Jewish communities. Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said that she would “do whatever is required” to keep the Jewish community safe as she visited the site of the attack...

Sadiq Khan hit back at Donald Trump last night as he made light of the US President’s allegations of Sharia Law in London. Mr Khan had Labour conference goers in stitches at a party in Liverpool last night as he heaped praise on the host city. The London Mayor joked: “I love coming to Liverpool. I love the football. I love the food. I love the people. Plus it means I get to take a break from the Sharia Law in London.” It came after President Trump used his speech at the United Nations General Assembly to attack Khan. He...

Friedrich Merz.... He has insisted that Hamas cannot be allowed a role in Gaza’s future and that hostage release and disarmament are non-negotiable. This is not callousness; it is the minimum moral logic of diplomacy. A peace plan that includes Hamas is not a peace plan at all – it is surrender to fanaticism and rewards the wrong side. And here Germany’s historic responsibility comes into sharp relief. No European nation has a deeper obligation to the security of the Jewish people. For Germans, the Holocaust was not a tragic accident; it was a state-driven programme of annihilation, which can...

Keir Starmer is facing demands from Labour MPs to reprimand Donald Trump’s administration after the US president falsely claimed London wanted to “go to sharia law” under its “terrible mayor”, Sadiq Khan. In an address to the UN general assembly, Trump said: “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed. Now they want to go to sharia law. But you are in a different country, you can’t do that.” The development will cause further discomfort in No 10 after Trump was last week honoured with an unprecedented...

The Tube no longer feels safe. Violent attacks on the platforms and carriages of the London Underground are soaring. So are theft, harassment and indecent exposure – and, most concerning of all, sexual assault. But instead of stepping up police patrols or increasing the presence of staff, Transport For London [TfL] is dumping the responsibility for safe travel on to the public, its passengers. Like countless others who ride the Tube every day, I have been physically assaulted while using the service – as I shall explain.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, in a Tuesday opinion piece for The Guardian, called out President Trump for boosting “divisive, far-right politics” worldwide in recent years. “We must unite to take on the reactionary populists and nativists who are exploiting economic concerns, the atomisation of modern life and a growing distrust of political and media institutions – something we have seen in countries across Europe and, of course, in the US,” Khan said in his Guardian piece. “President Donald Trump and his coterie have perhaps done the most to fan the flames of divisive, far-right politics around the world in recent...

Britain faces an epidemic it refuses to name, while Israel, with a larger Muslim minority, has kept it in check. The difference holds urgent lessons. In the days before the establishment of Israel, when Arabs made up nearly 70 percent of the population and Jews were a minority suffering harsh pogroms, even rumors of sexual violence against a Jewish girl were met with the harshest retribution...

Attack on camera, statement by Orbani, explanation by Mahyar, at pro-Israel rally Orbani was covering for Mahyar Tousi TV. Arrests of perps made. Transcript linked below video.

There is something of a crime epidemic in London. I state this in conditional terms because many of the offences are what can be called “low level” crimes which do not generally involve personal injury, grave damage to property or danger to life. But that is not to say that they are not serious in their effect: on the contrary, they are perceived as signs of a breakdown of civil authority which risks undermining the public’s confidence in justice and stable government. When little crimes are permitted to proliferate unchecked, it is actually much more generally demoralising than the occasional...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has warned that unless change is instituted rapidly, Britain will soon succumb to complete societal collapse. “We live increasingly in a lawless Britain… most people think that Britain has become lawless”, Farage remarked Monday at a press conference to launch a new law and order policy platform. “We’re actually facing, in many parts of our country, nothing short of societal collapse,” Farage warned, adding “People are scared to go out to the shops, scared to let their kids out. That is a society that is degraded, and it’s happening very, very rapidly.” Farage further suggested...

Sir Sadiq Khan has been informally advising the Democrats’ left-wing New York mayoral candidate on how to win his election. Zohran Mamdani, 33, shocked America’s political establishment last month by defeating the former governor Andrew Cuomo in the race to secure his party’s nomination. Sources say Mamdani and Khan have since exchanged texts and spoken over the phone. Khan’s advisers have also been in contact with Mamdani’s campaign team. The sources close to Khan add that Mamdani needs to move to the centre to widen his appeal, particularly as Cuomo and the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, are running as independents...

The reason Muslim politicians are increasingly successful in becoming mayors across Western cities is not necessarily due to superior policies or broad democratic appeal. Rather, it lies in the deep fragmentation of the communal space in Western societies, which creates a power vacuum easily filled from the bottom up. This is the very space in which the Muslim Brotherhood excels, organizing grassroots communities and gradually absorbing entire geographic areas under the influence of sharia-aimed governance models. These mayors often operate within a limited framework: their roles are mostly ceremonial or administrative. They manage trash collection, oversee local infrastructure, and are...
