Matt Goodwin: Labour Ministers proclaim Islamic Sharia courts are part of “what makes us British”.
While President Trump rightly warned, during his second state visit to the UK this week, that illegal migration is ‘destroying nations’, and said he ‘would send in the military’ were he in charge of the spiralling crisis in the UK, our hapless Labour Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who has completely lost control of the borders, was reduced to waffling and gaslighting his way through the state visit.
Even more shockingly, on the same day the British people discovered an Egyptian asylum-seeker who raped a woman in London’s Hyde Park is also a convicted Islamist terrorist who was staying in a four-star Hilton Hotel, paid for by British taxpayers, Labour’s new Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, was dropping social media videos as if she had personally just assassinated Osama Bin Laden having managed to remove … one … yes, one illegal migrant from the country.
And then, astonishingly, in the same week that saw Keir Starmer reassure President Trump that “we in the UK have always had free speech”, the police visited a woman who is battling stage-four cancer to demand she apologise for something she wrote on Facebook, otherwise she would be hauled off to the police station.
And on top of all that, on top of a string of events and stories that have left us all feeling as though we have now fully entered the Twilight Zone, we also learned several other astonishing facts that underline the sheer scale of Britain’s decline.
Like the fact our Labour government, this week, just voted to change sentencing laws that will see rapists and paedophiles –including those who pay children under-13 for sex, who rape children, and who create indecent images of children–released from prison early, after serving only one-third of their sentence. Seriously.
Like the fact Labour Ministers are now standing up in the House of Commons to proclaim Islamic Sharia courts, which violate our tradition of separating church and state, are now, according to our Labour government, part of “what makes us British”.
Like the fact that, today, we learn that last month the UK government was forced borrow £18 BILLION to cover the growing gulf between taxes and spending, which is the highest for five years, since the Covid pandemic.
Like the fact that since April alone, the UK has “spent” an eye-watering £50 BILLION just servicing our national debt –just paying off the interest on our country’s credit card before you even get to health, schools, military, police, and more.
Like the fact it was just revealed people in the UK who are not working and on welfare can claim on an income of £25,000 –which is MORE than the £22,500 earned by workers, after tax, on the national living wage. In which case, why work?
Like the fact the Office for National Statistics just revealed the average home in London is no longer affordable for any household income group, while nobody in Westminster is even willing to discuss what might be fuelling house prices and rents.
Like the fact Net Zero lunacy is now forecast, according to energy experts, to add yet another £100 to the average household energy bill from April onwards.
Like the fact, underlined by a shocking new chart from a UK government report, that historically unprecedented migration into the UK from outside Europe is continuing to make the country unrecognisable (look at the chart below -the red is immigration into the UK from outside European nations).

Like the fact Sadiq Khan’s Transport for London officials have just been found out to have been suppressing taxpayer-funded research that found ‘Low Traffic Neighbourhoods’, another extreme Net Zero measure, do NOT reduce the use of cars –yet officials worked overtime to try and bury the report from citizens.
Like the fact we are only now discovering, after Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper and the Labour Party consistently sought to block a rape gang inquiry, that a senior police officer from West Yorkshire deliberately blocked attempts to investigate rape gangs operating at a children’s home in Bradford.
Like the fact, according to new research from the Policy Exchange think-tank, the British people are having to pay £252 MILLION to cover medical treatments and costs for foreign citizens that were never paid.
All this, in a word, is insane.





ASYLUM.
The UK magazine THE CRITIC has several articles on the manipulation of statistics &c to support the lunatic immigration.
Islam must be banned and conversion to Islam or entering the country while Islamic given the death penalty. Its a foreign Arab Supremacy cult and must be eradicated. I would also support nuking every Muslim country and Israel and India too for good measure just to make sure we get them all.
@ George P
Leaving out Jewish Israel and Hindu India, nuking all the Muslims on the planet is a dream that might well appeal to the “religious” members of Netanyahu’s regime and his Armageddon-mad “Christian” Zionist camp followers.
Starmer’s “recognition” of Palestine (without defining its borders) is a desperate way to rescue the Muslim immigrant vote. He has no policy to “stop the boats” etc but wants to introduce ID cards which are a totalitarian innovation which given Asian forgery experience will just add to immigration and save foreigners from expulsion.
Various Islamic communities lodged in Britain, part of the Dar al-Harb, notably the mosques influenced by Deobandi ideology, are a political menace. The Labour Party is stuck between appeasing its Muslim voters and its Jewish financiers. The UK government’s Home Secretary, a Muslim of Pakistani background, who has been praised for acting against “antisemitism”, has been drawn into a scandal of £700,000 donations to a think-tank run by Starmer’s chief-of-staff, hidden from the Electoral Commission allegedly to protect a Jewish donor, apparently the venture capitalist Trevor Chinn, a millionaire pro-Israel activist who helped Tony Blair ascend the greasy pole, along with others like Lord Levy, Emmanuel Kaye, Lord Gavron, Lord Bernstein, Alan Sugar, &c. Critics have suggested that Starmer is in the Zionist pocket like Blair, but the recent Palestine “recognition” may not fit the jibe too closely.
