LONDON, UK — Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick is facing mounting criticism after a week of incendiary statements and controversial public appearances. After defending a man accused of burning the Quran in Southwark Crown Court, Jenrick is now under fire for comments made during a visit to Handsworth, Birmingham, where he lamented that he “didn’t see another white face” during a 90-minute walkabout. The remark, caught on leaked audio, has been branded by many as racially insensitive, divisive, and dangerously aligned with far-right rhetoric.

Sir Lenny Henry has ignited fierce debate with his call for the UK to pay £18 trillion in reparations to Black Britons and Caribbean nations for the enduring legacy of slavery—a figure that includes £12 trillion in direct compensation for Black British citizens alone. In his new book The Big Payback, co-authored with Marcus Ryder, Henry argues that the systemic racism, economic disparity, and overrepresentation of Black people in prisons are direct consequences of the transatlantic slave trade. His demand is not just financial—it’s moral, historical, and deeply personal. “We personally deserve money for the effects of slavery,”......

When Robert Jenrick described Handsworth, Birmingham as being “as close as I’ve come to a slum in this country,” he wasn’t just commenting on litter. He was drawing a racial boundary, one that casts Black and South Asian communities as failed citizens, living “parallel lives” in need of correction. But what Jenrick’s remarks reveal isn’t a concern for integration. It’s a selective tolerance for segregation, depending on who’s doing the segregating.

In 2018, the UK Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) accused the British Government of “unfairness in British nationality law,” warning that its treatment of citizens from former colonies was discriminatory and opaque. Harriet Harman, then Chair of the Committee, condemned the system as “a stain on our national conscience.”

In a stunning moment on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, former Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt claimed that UK trade unions and professional bodies are “openly antisemitic”—and that Jewish professionals are being forced to pay them in order to work.

The remarks came during a segment on institutional bias and professional gatekeeping. Mordaunt, who recently co-chaired a Board of Deputies commission on antisemitism, stated:
“In this country, you have to be a member of particular professional bodies and trade unions in order to get the indemnities to be a teacher or an independent social worker. Some of those organisations......

Trafalgar Square, London — In scenes described by witnesses as “Kafkaesque,” police have arrested a blind man using a mobility cane and a pensioner accompanied by his dog at today’s Palestine Action protest in Trafalgar Square. Both were detained under the Terrorism Act, as the UK government’s proscription of Palestine Action continues to trigger mass arrests across the capital.
The blind man was reportedly holding a sign that read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”He was escorted away by officers despite visibly relying on a cane and offering no resistance.

For decades, Freemasonry has operated in the shadows of British policing—shielded by tradition, ignored by oversight, and whispered about in corridors where transparency should reign. Now, the Metropolitan Police is breaking ranks with its own history.
In a rare and explosive admission, Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has confirmed that Freemasonry is not just a ceremonial relic—it’s a live threat to institutional integrity. “We have information intelligence that tells me we do need to confront it,” Rowley said. “I see evidence of it being linked to misconduct. I see evidence of it linked to expectations of favouritism......
