Color Scheme

Liz Webster: Steady on...

🚨 Steady on. Reform cannot simply announce that it is taking the Government to the Supreme Court‼️ First it needs a legally arguable claim and permission for judicial review. It would then need to progress through the courts and obtain permission to appeal. The Supreme Court only considers arguable points of law of general public importance. And if Parliament passes clear primary legislation, the courts generally cannot strike it down. There is no guarantee of a judicial review, let alone a Supreme Court showdown. This is political theatre, not legal analysis.

Andrew Feinstein: Camden Labour led by their candidate...

Camden Labour led by their candidate to be Starmer’s replacement, have done everything possible to continue to financially support those engaged in genocide. The vast majority of Camden residents don’t want our council’s money invested in the machinery of slaughter. This Labour council is morally corrupt. In the Holborn & St.Pancras by-election let’s deliver the message that we reject not only Starmer but everything he stands for, including his complicity in genocide

Andrew Bridgen: Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenai...

Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenai hit by the double blows of sanctions and a falling London property market? TWO LUXURY KENSINGTON PENTHOUSES LINKED TO KHAMENEI NETWORK PUT UP FOR SALE Two luxury penthouses in London’s exclusive Kensington district, linked by Western authorities to the financial network surrounding Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, have reportedly been placed on the market after Iranian banker Ali Ansari was sanctioned and subsequently defaulted on mortgages secured against the properties. The apartments are at 3a Palace Green, close to Kensington Palace and the Israeli Embassy, and were purchased in 2014 and 2016 for £16.75 million and £19 million respectively, giving a combined purchase price of £35.75 million. One of the properties, a five bedroom duplex extending across approximately 3,944 square feet, is now being offered for just under £12 million. The asking price for the second penthouse has not been publicly disclosed. The properties are registered to Ali Ansari, an Iranian businessman and banker who was sanctioned by the United States Treasury in July 2026. US authorities have accused Ansari of overseeing a global network of companies and assets benefiting Khamenei, his family and other members of Iran’s ruling elite. European authorities have made similar findings, stating that Ansari used a network of companies to acquire substantial assets, including property in Britain and Europe, on behalf of people connected to the Iranian leadership, including Khamenei. Ansari has denied allegations concerning his links to the Iranian leadership. The British Government has also confirmed in Parliament that UK property belonging to Ansari has been frozen following sanctions. The reported sale of the two multimillion pound Kensington properties comes amid continuing scrutiny of Iranian linked wealth held in Britain and the international network of companies, financial interests and high value assets that Western authorities say has operated for the benefit of senior figures within the Iranian leadership. The penthouses are now reportedly heading onto the open market following the mortgage defaults, bringing two of the most valuable London properties connected to Ansari’s sanctioned financial network under renewed scrutiny.

Pouria Zeraati: Important...

Important/ The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, reported that the Islamic Republic had obtained high-resolution satellite images of the base from China prior to the July 17 attack on the Mu'affaq al-Salti airbase in Jordan, in which three American soldiers were killed. U.S. officials say the regime's ability to identify and target American positions has significantly improved since the summer; of course, the Chinese images were just one of the Islamic Republic's intelligence sources, and it has also made use of assistance from Russia alongside them.
