Starmer: PM 'lacks the backbone' to call out Islamophobia

Sir Keir Starmer said Rishi Sunak "lacks the backbone" to call out "Islamophobia" after Lee Anderson’s attack on Sadiq Khan.

Speaking during a visit to Shrewsbury, the Labour leader said: "I think this is straightforward.

It’s Islamophobia and the Prime Minister should call it out for what it is... The reason he won’t is because he is so weak.

They are divided, chaotic and if they are re-elected we are going to have five more years of this." Report by Covellm.

Who Is Geert Wilders? From ‘Moroccan Scum’ to ‘Ban the Quran’; Man Behind Europe’s Anti-Islam Agenda

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has long been one of Europe’s most polarizing figures. From calling Moroccans “scum” to demanding a ban on mosques and the Quran, Wilders has built his political career on fierce anti-Islam rhetoric. But who is the man behind the controversies? Why does he command such influence — and fear — in the Netherlands and beyond? This video unpacks Wilders’ rise, his inflammatory speeches, the fallout from his policies, and how he just triggered a political earthquake in Dutch politics. #GeertWilders #IslamDebate #DutchPolitics #FarRightEurope #GeertWildersSpeech #AntiIslam #PVV #NetherlandsPolitics #WildersControversy #BanTheQuran #EuropeanElections #ImmigrationDebate #WildersVsIslam #DutchElections #IslamInEurope Also Read Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc Saddam Becomes Shivshankar: Muslim Man Converts To Hinduism To Marry Girlfriend Of 10 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/saddam-becomes-shivshankar-muslim-man-converts-to-hinduism-to-marry-girlfriend-of-10-years-4047465.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~GR.125~

Who is Tommy Robinson? The Far-Right ANTI-ISLAM Campaigner Backed By Elon Musk

UK Far-Right Leader Tommy Robinson has been released four months early after the UK High Court ruled on his contempt of court sentence. Jailed for violating an injunction linked to a libel case involving Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi, Robinson faced penalties for promoting a banned film repeating defamatory claims. Despite promising future compliance, Robinson criticized the government in a viral post and thanked Elon Musk for support. The case has reignited debate on censorship, defamation, and freedom of expression in Britain. #TommyRobinson #ContemptOfCourt #FreeSpeechUK #ElonMusk #CensorshipDebate #JamalHijazi #SilencedFilm #UKLaw #DefamationCase #MediaFreedom #HighCourtUK #CivilContempt #PoliticalPrisoner #BritishJustice #ElonMuskSupport #FreedomOfSpeech #PlatformReinstated #UKPolitics #XPlatform #LibelLaw #LegalNews #UKCourts #OnlineSpeech #MuskTweet #SocialMediaBan #UKDocumentary #SilencedByState #TruthTellerClaim #TommyRobinsonReleased Also Read Rudy Giuliani Found in Contempt of Court for Continued Lies About Georgia Election Workers :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rudy-giuliani-contempt-court-georgia-election-workers-011-4039355.html?ref=DMDesc Contempt Of Court: IAS Officer Booked For Allegedly Threatening Judge :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/contempt-of-court-ias-officer-booked-for-allegedly-threatening-judge-3896993.html?ref=DMDesc DSGMC President, General Secretary Held Guilty of Contempt for Failing to Pay School Employees :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/delhi-high-court-holds-dsgmc-president-general-secretary-guilty-contempt-court-gen-3761437.html?ref=DMDesc

Rotherham Elects British-Pakistani Mayor even as Grooming gangs scandal still haunts town

Rotherham, a UK town infamous for the grooming gang scandal involving predominantly British-Pakistani men, has appointed Rukhsana Ismail—a British-Pakistani woman—as mayor. Though chosen by council members, not public vote, the move sparked backlash online. Critics argue it's insensitive to victims, calling it a "cruel twist" and accusing the UK of cultural erasure. Others defend Ismail’s appointment as merit-based and unrelated to past crimes. The controversy reignites debates around identity, justice, and Islamophobia in a deeply fractured political climate. #Rotherham #RukhsanaIsmail #UKPolitics #GroomingGangs #Islamophobia #ChildExploitation #BritishPakistani #RotherhamMayor #CulturalDebate #VictimsJustice #OnlineBacklash #EthnicRepresentation #UKNews #IdentityPolitics #ControversialAppointment #RotherhamScandal #SocialMediaDebate #PoliticalControversy #UnityOrDivision #BritishIdentity #MayorDebate #ScandalLegacy #MulticulturalUK #UKRacism #SexualExploitation #PublicOutcry #PoliticalRepresentation ~HT.318~

‘The Nuclear Patron Of All…’ Russia’s First Reaction To UK And France’s Nuclear Pact SHOCKS World [Video]

‘The Nuclear Patron Of All…’ Russia’s First Reaction To UK And France’s Nuclear Pact SHOCKS World

Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact — dubbed the Northward Declaration — pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and France’s alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Paris’ joint nuclear force into its military strategy. #UKFranceNuclearPact #NorthwardDeclaration #NATOvsRussia #MacronStarmerNuclear #NuclearDeterrence #RussiaWarning #NuclearAlliance #EuropeNuclearTensions #NuclearBlackmail #MoscowNuclearThreat #NATOPolicy #RussiaUKTensions #FranceRussiaTensions #EuropeanSecurityCrisis #MacronUKNuclearDeal #KeirStarmerMacron #NuclearCoordination #RussiaNuclearResponse #GlobalNuclearArms #NuclearWarRisk ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~
