King in the North

Is Andy Burnham a power player? Or just playing at power? lowcstaus opinions blog 03/02/26 British politics is in a constant state of flux. Parties built on the backs of working men transition, seemingly overnight, into ideological playgrounds for an out of touch, gentrified, gender bending elite. Yesterday’s military heroes are hounded through the courts by a government which states that today its ‘highest priority’, is servicing the needs of foreign activists, who encourage their followers to kill white people, police officers, and Jews. Weirdo insurgent parties run by gap toothed boob boosters and economically illiterate communists swoop in from nowhere, to gobble up millions of votes. And the once dependable Conservative Party, burns through useless, clueless Prime Ministers, faster than Bonnie Blue burns through paramours. It’s an ever shifting political landscape, dynamic, distracting, dizzying, and discombobulating. But however confusing things get, there is one rock,...

‘Demonic and inhuman’ migrant hotel murderer jailed for life

Rhiannon Skye Whyte’s family say Deng Chol Majek ‘celebrated’ after the killing and ‘might as well have danced on her grave’ Daily Telegraph 30/01/26 An asylum seeker who murdered a migrant hotel worker with a screwdriver is “demonic and inhuman”, a court has heard. Rhiannon Skye Whyte, 27, was killed by Deng Chol Majek on Oct 20 2024 in a “vicious and frenzied” attack at a deserted train platform in Walsall, West Midlands. Ms Whyte had been working at the Park Inn hotel, where Majek was being housed, when he followed her to the station after she finished her shift and stabbed her 23 times with a screwdriver. On Friday, at Coventry Crown Court, Majek was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 29 years. Mr Justice Soole previously adjourned sentencing Majek in October amid doubts about the Sudanese migrant’s claim that he was 19 years old. The killer, who is believed to have entered Britain by small boat less than three months before the murder, is known to have give...

Starmer risks becoming another Westerner who has swallowed yesterday’s story of China

The Prime Minister should not be misguided – Beijing is already in economic decline Daily Telegraph 30/01/26 Sir Keir Starmer is late to the Chinese economic miracle. Hyper-growth was already on borrowed time as far back as 2010, undermined by debt saturation and the insidious long-tail effects of the global financial crisis. China’s share of world GDP has fallen for the last four years at market exchange rates. Capital Economics expects it to fall again this year, touching lows seen almost a decade ago. China’s output has already fallen back from three quarters to two thirds of US levels. It will not surpass the US over the next half century – assuming that Congress and the American people act in time to halt the dangerous buffoonery and predatory wag-the-dog wars of Donald Trump. Talk of a superpower sorpasso is now just a relic of past hubris. Britain’s Prime Minister should by all means be visiting Beijing to build a “more sophisticated relationship”. The UK and China are on...

Councils face revolt over cancelled elections

Government accused of ‘running scared of voters’ as councillors step down in protest over delays Daily Telegraph 29/01/26 Councillors have launched a revolt after Labour cancelled local elections for 4.6 million people. Norfolk, one of Britain’s biggest councils, has been hit by a string of resignations in protest over the delays, which have been branded a “democratic outrage”. Meanwhile, the leader of Welwyn Hatfield council stood down after a backlash over cancelled voting drove its ruling coalition to the brink of collapse. Essex, another major council that was thought to have been considering cancellations, formally announced on Thursday that it would hold a vote after all. The Telegraph understands a string of other councillors across Britain are also considering whether to stand down, potentially forcing local authorities to hold dozens of by-elections. Labour announced plans earlier this month to deny millions of people the vote, leaving some with no say over who contro...

Reform reports Labour to police over ‘misleading’ video

Matt Goodwin, the Reform candidate for Gorton and Denton by-election, says his comments on Manchester deliberately taken out of context Daily Telegraph 28/07/26 Reform UK has reported Labour to the police over a “misleading” video that attacked its candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Matt Goodwin, who is contesting the by-election for Reform, claimed that Labour breached the Representation of the People’s Act 1983 which bans any “false statement of fact” against a candidate. His complaint to Greater Manchester Police centres on the way the Labour party used a video posted previously on X by Mr Goodwin. In the video, the Reform candidate says: “I was lucky enough or unfortunate enough to be in Manchester a few days ago and the energy in this room is 10 times what it was in Manchester so congratulations.” The Labour Party account captioned the clip: “This is what Reform’s latest candidate thinks about where he’s standing to represent.” But Mr Goodwin, a former Univer...
