Even the Muslims have turned against him. According to a poll by Survation for the Labour Muslim Network Starmer’s rating is -7% among Muslim voters compared with the party itself being +42%. Muslims have traditionally voted Labour but Starmer’s ambivalence over Palestine and the suggestion that Kashmir was a constitutional issue to be resolved between Pakistan and India has not gone down well. Click Here: Kurt, a salesman from Surrey, saved £300 on his home insurance | Get cheap quotes now Why does their view of Starmer matter? Well next month there is a by-election in Batley and Spens which traditionally has been a Labour stronghold in Yorkshire. They have a 3,000+ majority but standing for the first time in the area is the firebrand George Galloway, a pro-Palestine advocate with one simply policy; To take votes away from Starmer. About 20% of the constituency is Muslim which means they have a lot of muscle in the polling booth. That represents about 8,600 votes so if they moved from Labour to Galloway that will mean certain defeat for the leader.
In the event that Labour did lose another Red Wall seat that will spell the beginning of the end for Starmer.

He can see both sides of the argument. That’s no good in politics. You must believe in something even if the intellect says there is another way. Personally I would urge him to quit. Why hang on and face death by a thousand cuts over the next year or so and face certain defeat from Boris in a couple of years. Hand over the poisoned chalice to Burnham or the like.

CLICK HERE: Aaron from Windsor saved £200 on his car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW Did you know the furlough scheme was costing £300million a week. That is our money. And the fact that the cash is being paid out to people to sit at home when there is plenty of work out there is ridiculous and bloody expensive. According to the recruitment firm Reed, salaries in hospitality and catering have risen by 18% from an average of £22, 701 last year to £26,888. Currently 1.7million are on furlough- its about 7% of the workforce- but we need those people back at work as EU workers who left the country during covid are not returning as the new “skills based” immigration system is a barrier to lower-paid foreign workers.

What did not please me was that the game was restarted two hours later. What was the justification for that decision? Clearly Danish players were very upset at Eriksen’s plight. They saw their long-time teammate receiving CPR on the pitch. Some wept. All were extremely concerned. Many viewers must have worried that Eriksen was going to survive.

Did nobody think about the state of the team’s mental health. What does a game of football mean if you have seen a colleague struggle for life. That game should never have been played and it was no surprise that against all the odds- some experts felt Denmark were dark horses to win the competition- they lost to lowly Finland.

She has ditched the “never complain” policy in the wake of the Lilibet row. The dispute with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex blew up when they announced they were going to call their second child Lilibet (sounds like a new gaming company) after Prince Philip’s pet name for Elizabeth. Must say that always sounded very odd to me. Anyway their LA spin machine claimed the Queen had agreed to the name being used. Not so says The Queen. An insider, quoted in the Mail on Sunday, said the conversation between Harry and The Queen was “telling not asking” when it came to the baby’s name.

The Queen is exasperated at the relentless briefings that the allies have given to the media. Her Majesty has instructed courtiers to correct any statements which represent private conversations involving her or those of other senior royals. The problem for The Queen is she can’t win. Harry and Meghan feed off publicity coming up with any stunt that keeps them in the public eye as that is the reason major companies come to them with huge dollops of money to endorse their brands. If they went quiet and went about doing good works (like the Royal Family for instance) Unilever would not be interested. It’s very painful that a woman of 95 is being used as a pawn in their commercial world. I don’t wish them well.

He is quoted as telling a minister;” What the f*** is the Home Office doing? When is she (Priti) going to sort this out.” The migrant issue has moved smartly up the No.10 agenda for two reasons. The numbers making their way across the Channel have turned from a trickle into a flood and with good weather forecast for the next two weeks meaning calm waters the problem is likely to grow. CLICK HERE: Robert Grainger, from Colchester, saved £250 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW More than 1,700 have arrived this year and what angers Boris is that the papers are full of photos showing illegals being helped ashore from various points along the Kent coast rather than tributes to the successful vaccine rollout. The second point of friction is that Kent County Council have announced it would stop taking unaccompanied child refugees as of Monday because its children’s services have run out of space having taken 242 this year with only 52 going to other local authorities. Ms Patel, for whom I have the highest regard, is blaming the crisis on Border Force officials claiming they refuse to carry out orders on issues like such as seeking closer co-operation with the French, new tactics to detect and intercept boats and general duties in fighting people smuggling.
One minister is quoted in The Times as saying;” Border Force sit in meetings with the PM and Home Secretary nodding along and saying; ’Yes, of course we can do that, no problem. Consider it done.’ Two days later they are busy explaining to them both why it can’t be done.” CLICK HERE: Paula Keeting, a retired nurse from Bournemouth, saved over £500 on her family’s car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW There have been suggestion that Patel has lost authority within the Home Office after the bullying scandal when she was said to have created fear by shouting, swearing and making unreasonable demands.

There are plenty of votes in it. One in ten citizens are able to trace their roots back to the Emerald Isle and St Patrick’s Day on March 17 is one of the nation’s biggest celebrations. Joe Biden’s family left Ballina, Co. Mayo, for the US in 1850 so it’s very much in his interest to stick his conk into our fight with the EU over whether we can send sausages to Northern Ireland without having to face EU bureaucracy. I wish he would keep his conk out. There are many more important issues for him to deal with than the humble sausage. He has let it be known that he feels Boris Johnson is “inflaming Irish tensions”.

Apparently America’s most senior diplomat in London is to issue something called a demarch, a formal diplomatic reprimand seldom exchanged between allies. They are often issued with a summons for a country’s ambassador to attend the Foreign office as in the case of Belarus after the diversion of a Ryanair flight to its territory last months. Has Biden gone barking mad. To equate our little local difficulty with a Russia, China or Turkey row is ridiculous and makes me wonder if Biden has any brains at all. He should focus on the big global issues and leave the little stuff to others. I am beginning to wish Trump was back. At least he would have been on our side in the fight.

Without it I have my doubts that law student Lisa Keogh would have had such a comprehensive victory in a shocking inquiry into her gender-critical views at her university. Ms Keogh is a mother of two and a mature student at Abertay University in Dundee. During an online class about the trans issue You have had to live in she said three things which appear to have upset other students. The first was that women have vaginas; the second was women are weaker than men physically and thirdly that women should not have to compete against trans women in sports. All reasonable points. Other students not only didn’t agree they made a complaint to the university about “inappropriate and offensive comments.” CLICK HERE: John Clarke, a pensioner from Oxford, saved £150 on his car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW Instead of the uni throwing out the complaint at once they took two months to clear Ms Keogh. This inquiry took place while she was in the thick of her exam time. The uni knew this but instead of dealing with it quickly they allowed the process to drag on. A disgrace.
Further had it not been for the Free Speech Union shining a light on the inquiry and offering legal help you can be quite sure that this university would have happily and quietly found her guilty. They couldn’t do this now the Free Speech Union was on their backs and people like me were waiting for the outcome. CLICK HERE: Richard Ford, a retired accountant from Exeter, saved £150 on car insurance | SAVE NOW Ms Keogh said after the verdict; “I was targeted because of my gender-critical views. It was a modern day witch-hunt. No woman should face discrimination in the way I have because she believes in se-based rights..” Even the SNP backed her with one local MP saying; “The university should make sure that future students are not subject to the stress of spurious complaints not discriminated against, harassed or victimised for their beliefs.” I hadn’t heard of Abertay Uni prior to this shocking case. Will be keeping a look out for any other nasty inquiries in the future.

My sense is that race will dominate politics in the West for decades to come and I fear it will divide more than it unites. At the Baftas on Sunday 11 of the 23 awards went to people of colour. Were they really that good or was it that TV types felt it would be good PR if they were handed the prizes. I suspect many white actors had a view as they watched. A view that might not be politically correct and a view that they cannot share.

But what came as the biggest shock to me was that in an interview with the Daily Telegraph he revealed he has already had to remortgage his London home. I have actually had dinner in his home in Belgravia’s Chester Square where you would be lucky to buy a garden shed for £15million. That house has its own lift- quite similar to your place I suspect- and the walls are full of what I was told was pre-Raphaelite paintings.

Ms Johnson, 27, and a mother of two, has critical injuries – described by the police as profound life-changing injuries. Detectives are looking through footage from body-worn cameras taken by the first officers on the scene to identify the party-goers. My question is why won’t the party-goers help with information to jail the gunman. They may not like the police but this one of their own. They must want justice for Sasha or have I missed something. Do they dislike the police so much they would like to see her gunman go free. That would make them very odd friends indeed.

His reasoning is that there is something creative missing when all meetings are held by Zoom or the like. We all know that is true. What may have come a surprise to Mr Cook (he made $14million last year) is that there has been a pushback by a minority of his employees who clearly have enjoyed WFH over the last year.

It is too easy to say they are waving a fond farewell to people they want off their land as they know all that attitude will do is encourage thousands more to make their way from the Middle East and Africa to France. The camps in Calais of illegals which are broken up on regular occasions are testimony to a problem that is not just British. However it is clear something dramatic must be done to stop this flow. CLICK HERE: John Clarke, a pensioner from Oxford, saved £150 on his car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW On Thursday 201 illegal migrants (or asylum seekers as their lawyers prefer to call them) arrived at Dover. This took the number from January to 4,000. Most “experts” believe migrant numbers will be double on last year. I believe Home Secretary Priti Patel and Defence Minister Ben Wallace should sit down with their opposite numbers in France and make a bold suggestion; At our cost we will send as many SAS troops as it will take to capture the leaders of these smuggling gangs. The French maintain, and I believe them, that currently they have around 150 police officers on the lookout for these smugglers and recognise that it is a losing battle.
Under my plan the clever, tough, disciplined and resourceful SAS would be able to detain the criminals and then hand them over to the authorities.

And there’s not many times you could say that. Over the past three decades there has been a growing number of immigrants to the liberal Scandinavian nation. And with the immigration has come tension. At the last count-and that was seven years ago- there were 476,059 immigrants representing 8% of the population. Politicians from both sides have responded to the community’s concerns with ever more stringent rules concerning asylum seekers. Now the Danish parliament has backed a controversial law -neither Brussels or the UN like it- which would allow immigrants to be sent outside Europe as their applications are processed. While Denmark would pay for the transfer and the cost of the migrants staying in the third country the host nation would carry out the processing. That way much needed employment and money would go to the suggested nations of Egypt, Rwanda or Tunisia. CLICK HERE: Alwyn Williams saved £342 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW There is a suggestion that even those with successful claims after being exported they will not be allowed back into Denmark to enjoy refugee status but will have to stay in the host country.
Why don’t we do something similar?

As the migrants told the High Court they didn’t enjoy being cooped together claiming the conditions gave many of them covid. To avoid these tensions why doesn’t Home secretary Priti Patel adopt the Danish idea. We do a deal with another country to take the hundreds illegally making their way across the Channel. I suspect the idea of going to Rwanda and waiting for a visa may put off some of these illegals. What do you think? This is a problem that will not go away. It needs a bold solution.

So much for “experts”. I don’t believe they know anything because like racing tipsters if they knew what was going to win they wouldn’t tell anybody. And for that reason I am delighted Sir Kevan Collins, an education “expert” has resigned after Boris and Rishi refused to fund (it would have cost £15billion) his ridiculous plan to force children to “work” an extra 30 minutes a day to make up for their lost learning due to Covid. Personally I don’t believe the children will have gone backwards. They are resilient but if they have suffered the reasons are quite clear and an extra half and hour will not help. Idle teachers will be the main culprits. They simply put a whiteboard on Zoom and then nipped down the boozer neither marking the work on their return or offering any guidance. The other culprits are the idle parents (and you know who they are) who let the kids play Fortnite rather than forcing them to work. So goodbye Sir Kevan and good riddance.

All online it was always profitable and now Mark, 42, has announced it is going to float on the stock market valuing the business anywhere between £800-£1billion.

He employs over 500 people in Merseyside and a digital hub in Birmingham. What I love about Mark’s success is that it is so rare. Most startups fail but what keeps you going is that perhaps one day you may be a Mark. The chances of that happening are small but we can always dream. It’s like the Lottery. The chances of winning are minute but to give yourself a chance buying a ticket would be helpful. Start your own business. Who knows you might be another Mark Radcliffe.

He doesn’t appear to believe in anything except his own survival, can’t get anything done because he has so little personal drive and in the May election for London Mayor almost lost to a Conservative candidate that the Conservatives had written off. Now Boris has presented him the political bill for his own ineptitude. Due to Covid virtually nobody has been using the Tube network for the past year yet there has been little or no reduction in the network. The effect unbelievably is the Treasury- that’s us taxpaying mugs- have had to chip in £3billion to keep empty Tube trains running and a lot of people sitting around doing nothing. CLICK HERE: Alwyn Williams saved £342 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW In order to survive the Transport for London (TfL) network needed another £1billion to keep the wheels turning until December and they have just learned the price of that money; they have to cut costs by £300million, cut the ludicrous over generous pensions and at long last start planning to introduce driverless trains. Driverless trains is not a new idea for London as it already has the Docklands Light Railway. No injuries, no crashes. Nothing to report. Nothing to see. But Khan, being the idiot that he is, says he will fight the idea. And he has the support of guess who? Yes, correct. Its our old Lefty chum Mick Lynch the RMT General secretary whose members are…….hugely overpaid Tube drivers.
This is what he says;” Driverless trains were unwanted, unaffordable and unsafe.” None of that is true but when did that ever matter to a trade union leader. What is true is the pay of Tube drivers is an absolute scandal and the reason they “earn” so much for going along a straight track in the dark is the threat by the RMT that unless they are paid exorbitantly for work that is no longer needed they will go on strike and cripple the capital.

Our resilient nation proves every day that a lot of we can achieve without taking a train or tube every day. Of course a strike would be inconvenient but the days of us collapsing to our knees in the face of lefty bullies are over. Do your worst Mick you will no longer hurt us. My advice is to stop threatening and start negotiating redundancy terms for your members. They will thank you for the pay-offs. They will not thank you for spending months on the picket line with only the Morning Star reporting your members’ poverty. The game is up. Covid killed your one big threat.

As I reported yesterday, on the death of Prince Philip Joleen Clarke, associate director of the university’s libraries , emailed a photo of him opening its Maugham Library along with the Queen in 2002. In the email Clarke simply wrote; “As the nation marks the death of HRH Prince Philip we thought you would like to see this photo which some colleagues would remember.” Then the wokies joined in saying they thought Philip had a history of racism (where is the evidence?) and this led to a kind of “kangaroo court” where Ms Clarke had to account for herself. She then apologised for the “harm” Philip had caused. Now two government ministers Brandon Lewis and James Cleverly have attacked what is clearly a disgraceful action by colleagues of Ms Clarke. CLICK HERE: Richard Ford, a retired accountant from Exeter, saved £150 on car insurance | SAVE NOW Lewis , an alumni of King’s College, described their actions as a “parody” while Cleverly said; “ This is getting silly.”
I think its more serious than that. The librarian acted in a very reasonable way. She didn’t even indicate, as the vast majority would have done, that we should commemorate the death of man who had given his entire to the service of this nation. She simply pointed out that he along with the Queen had turned up at the library 19 years ago. Could it have been more innocent?

What exactly is racist about the life and times of Prince Philip. He once referred to Chinese as having “slitty eyes.” This was a minute mistake against 70 years of good work. I would like to know the names and titles of the people who caused trouble over this issue. Then I would like to look into their families and backgrounds and see if they had ever made the slightest of errors. And then I would like to publish them in my column. And I suspect you would too.

This time the man in the firing line is Alan Cook, chairman of the insurers LV who from 2006 to 2010 was managing director of the Post Office. Early in his tenure at the Post Office Cook launched the prosecution of the 39 Post office workers. The charges were based around the fact that there were shortfalls in the sub-postmasters’ accounts. But the evidence against them was entirely due to the flawed software system Horizon. Despite their protests of innocence some went to jail and everybody had their livelihoods destroyed. It was a nightmare.

Literally six weeks ago the Court of Appeal threw out all the convictions and described it as a massive miscarriage of justice. The CEO of the Post Office business at the time Paula Vennels did the good thing and stood down from the Boards of Morrisons and Dunelm plus announcing she would be stopping her duties as an ordained Church of England Minister. Now the fire has turned on Cook. He should go. I imagine he will protest that the prosecutions were driven by the legal department of the Post Office but leadership means taking responsibility. He has had a gilded life and under his watch a terrible injustice happened so he will have to stand down from public life. Nobody will shed a tear and it will make those innocent 39 feel better.
