How many more British girls must be raped before the Left admits the truth about asylum?

Sir Sadiq Khan, our celebrated Mayor of London, says it’s time for “progressives” to “reset the immigration debate”. For too long, he declared at the weekend, this “debate” has been “dictated by the hysteria, hatred and fear-mongering of the far-Right”.

I’m sure we all wish Sir Sadiq the very best of luck in this noble endeavour. Sadly, however, he may find it difficult to overcome a certain unfortunate stumbling block. Which is that, practically every week now, the British public is confronted by yet another report of asylum seekers being convicted for rape.

Sadiq should be deported.

Cables show Trump’s moves on Greenland rattled other nations

The Chinese hoped President Donald Trump’s push for Greenland would help them peel Europe away from America. The Finns were desperate to prevent a trade war over the island. And Iceland was furious over a suggestion that it’s next on Trump’s target list — the “52nd state.”

A batch of State Department cables obtained by POLITICO expose the deep reverberations of the president’s demands for Greenland as foreign officials vented their frustrations this month with American counterparts. The messages, which have not been previously reported, offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the thinking of allies and adversaries about the impact of Trump’s would-be land grab.

Conservatives to decide if Poilievre gets a second chance

Pierre Poilievre is about to ask for something no Conservative leader has been granted by the party for more than 20 years: a second chance.
On Friday night, thousands of party members will vote on whether he should stay on as leader after losing the April election.

The party’s constitution mandates a leadership review when it fails to win a federal vote. Mr. Poilievre is expected to win far more than the simple majority of votes that the constitution also requires for him to remain.

Federal Agents Arrest Don Lemon Over Minnesota Church Protest

The former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested on Friday on charges that he violated federal law during a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn., multiple people familiar with the matter said, in a case rejected last week by a magistrate judge.

Mr. Lemon has said he was simply reporting as a journalist when he entered the Cities Church on Jan. 18 to observe a demonstration against the immigration crackdown in the area.

The protesters interrupted a service at the church, where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official serves as a pastor, and chanted “ICE out.” Afterward, the Trump administration sought to charge eight people over the episode, including Mr. Lemon, citing a law that protects people seeking to participate in a service in a house of worship.

Trump says ‘very dangerous’ for UK, Canada to do business with China as Starmer lands in Shanghai

Donald Trump said it was “very dangerous” for the UK to do business with China, as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer arrived in Shanghai on the third day of his visit to the country.

…Beyond his brief comments, Trump did not say anything further about the UK’s engagement with China, pivoting instead to Canada and delivering a similar warning.

He said it was “even more dangerous, I think, for Canada”.

“Canada is not doing well. They’re doing very poorly, and you can’t look at China as the answer,” he added.

Washington Pushes Back After EU Fines Musk’s X

Washington has pushed back against Brussels after EU regulators fined Elon Musk’s platform X earlier this month, with U.S. lawmakers warning that the move could set a global precedent for how online speech is policed.

The dispute centres on a €120 million penalty imposed by the European Commission under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), a far-reaching law that gives Brussels new powers over the world’s largest online platforms. EU officials say the fine is about transparency and compliance; critics in Washington argue it shows how European regulation can be used to pressure foreign companies far beyond the EU’s borders.
