Islam’s Quiet Takeover: How Britain’s Prisons Became Dawa Centers * The Gateway Pundit * by Peter McIlvenna www.thegatewaypundit.com

Nick Timothy MP, Britain’s shadow justice secretary, just put numbers on something that’s been muttered about for years. Ministry of Justice data shows one in five Muslim prisoners in England and Wales is white. That’s nearly four times the rate in the general population. White Muslim inmates went from 2,767 in 2022 to 3,218 by June 2025. Overall, Muslim numbers in prison rose from 14,037 to 16,051 in the same stretch. They’re now about 18 percent of the prison population in a country where Muslims are only 6.5 percent of everyone else.

Timothy says the gap “raises serious questions.” Experts have been warning for a long time about Muslim gangs pushing conversions behind bars. He wants the Labour government to look into it properly. The Ministry of Justice’s answer is the usual line: they don’t tolerate intimidation or faith-based coercion. Okay. That still doesn’t explain the figures.

Not every conversion is forced, of course. Some guys convert for the structure, the food, or just to have people watching their back. Some white Muslims grew up in the faith. Fair enough. It still doesn’t account for the size of the shift.

Jonathan Hall KC, who reviews terrorism legislation, found Muslims running parts of prisons as self-styled “emirs.” They pull in lonely or vulnerable inmates with food, advice, small gifts — and sometimes the threat of violence.

Inquest opens into death of ex-Cambridge University professor Jason Arday abcnews.com

LONDON — An inquest opened Wednesday into the sudden death earlier this month of Jason Arday, a Cambridge University professor who faced a storm of plagiarism accusations.

Arday, 41, who became Cambridge’s youngest Black professor in 2023, was found dead at an address in south London on Aug. 13, days after he resigned his post as professor of sociology of education following intense media scrutiny of his credentials and many of the other claims he had made about his accomplishments outside of academia.

The inquest opened with a short hearing at London Inner South Coroner’s Court. Any deaths in the U.K. that are deemed to exhibit uncertainties of one form or another are investigated by a coroner.

“The various reports have given me reason to suspect that Professor Arday died an unnatural death 12 days ago,” said senior coroner Dr. Julian Morris. “It therefore follows that I must open an investigation.”

Police said at the time of his death that it was being treated as “unexpected” but not suspicious.

Questions about Arday’s qualifications were raised publicly last month by Nathan Cofnas, a one-time Cambridge philosophy researcher who left the university after his critique of diversity, equity and inclusion programs sparked widespread protests. Cofnas previously argued that in a meritocracy, Black people “would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.” Cofnas was last week suspended from his post at Ghent University in Belgium.

The scholar credited with first exposing fabulist academic Jason Arday’s plagiarism and biographical embellishments has been suspended by his university in the wake of Arday’s apparent suicide.

“I was just suspended by Ghent University. They will almost certainly fire me,” Nathan Cofnas posted on X on Thursday. “The decision was made by rector Petra De Sutter, a former leader of the Green Party.”

Arday made history as the youngest black professor at the University of Cambridge. While questions and concerns were raised both internally and more recently in media reports regarding alleged sloppy research and plagiarism, his fall from grace is primarily linked to Cofnas’ July 21 Substack piece “DEI Fraud and Cover-Up at Cambridge.”

Cofnas details the plagiarism concerns over his dissertation as well as casts doubt on Arday’s far-fetched biographical claims.

Arday had described himself as non-verbal until age 11 and said he could not read or write until age 18. He also said he ran 30 marathons in 35 days, claims to have raised millions of dollars for charities in recent decades, and alleged he was sent bananas, bullets, and a pig’s head in the mail.

UK Government Gives Asylum Seekers Guide Explaining Rape, Age of Consent, Women’s Rights › American Greatness amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

Britain’s government is providing asylum seekers with a guide explaining laws against rape, sex with children and sexual harassment, as the Labour government prepares to place more migrants in communities across the country.

The nine-page Home Office document, titled “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK,” outlines British laws and social norms for migrants seeking asylum.

The guide explains that sexual activity requires consent and that a person who is asleep, intoxicated or otherwise unable to respond cannot provide it.

“If you have sex with someone without their consent, this is called rape. Rape is a serious crime in the UK,” the guide states, warning that offenders could face prison and consequences for their asylum claims and government support.

UK Government Begins Adding Miscarriage-Inducing Drug to Food Supply for ‘Greater Good’ slaynews.com

EXCERPT:

The UK Government will begin adding a drug to the nation’s flour that is known to trigger miscarriages in pregnant women, arguing that it’s necessary for the “greater good,” exposing tens of millions of people to the substance through everyday foods, regardless of whether they want it.

The move will mandate the mass-medicating of the population by forcing commercial flour producers to add synthetic folic acid to the nation’s food supply.

Beginning December 13, 2026, virtually all non-wholemeal wheat flour produced by major British mills must contain synthetic folic acid under government regulations approved without a vote on the floor of the House of Commons.

The mandate will expose tens of millions of people to the substance through bread and countless other everyday foods whether they need it or not.

There will be no prescription.

There will be no individualized dosage.

There will be no medical screening.

And there will be no meaningful way for most consumers to avoid it.

The new Prime Minister of Britian, Andy Burnham, has plans to grant early release to thousands of violent convicted criminals, but wants to do a review on the plan to assure convicted grooming gang members don’t get out as well. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch was the one who raised a red flag that showed under Burnham’s guidance, five known grooming gang members would be eligible for early release.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has ordered an “urgent” review to identify any grooming gang members who may be eligible to be freed from jail under the government’s early release scheme.

The announcement comes after Tory leader Kemi Badenoch raised concerns that child sex offenders could leave jail well before the end of their sentences.

She pointed out that indecent assault was not included in the list of offences that the government said would be excluded from the early release scheme.

Five men convicted of indecent assault as part of a historical grooming-gang case in Bradford are among the prisoners whose offences were not included in the list of exclusions.

The prime minister’s spokesperson said Burnham had asked the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to “conduct an in-depth review of cases to ensure that grooming cases were identified”.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said his government will be “relentless” in tackling small boat crossings across the English Channel, saying crossings are down by 50% compared with the same period last year despite Britain recording its highest daily arrival figure of 2026 last week.

A new poll shows the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has a bigger bounce for his party than expected, with Labour now leading reform in the latest political polls. Labour took the lead by four over Reform. It is the first lead it has had since March 2025. Restore Britian was not offered as one of the choices in the poll.

Our latest voting intention sees a cross over. Labour move ahead by 4. Their first lead since March 2025 & highest share since Nov 24

He also says the Greens are on their lowest share of the vote since Zack Polanski became leader.

This is the first poll to show Labour ahead of Reform UK since Andy Burnham became PM. Other polls last week showed Labour narrowly behind Nigel Farage’s party, or Labour and Reform UK neck and neck.

For much of the past year, Reform UK has had a lead of 10 points or more over other parties in most opinion polls. Here are the figures from the Politico poll of polls tracker.

EXCERPT:

Andy Burnham has appointed three new ministerial aides from Labour’s most leftwing faction, the first time members of the Socialist Campaign Group have been part of the government.

The new chief whip, Anneliese Midgley, has also promised MPs that the government will beef up the role of ministerial aides – known as parliamentary private secretaries (PPSs) – who traditionally go under the radar, allowing them to do more media appearances, take on parliamentary roles and contribute more directly to policy direction.

Burnham has said he wanted to end the Labour factionalism that divided the party under both Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer – and would seek to make appointments from the party’s left and centrist wings.

Though Burnham has returned several soft left ministers to key positions in the cabinet – such as Louise Haigh, Lucy Powell and Angela Rayner – there were no ministerial appointments from the party’s most leftwing caucus, the Socialist Campaign Group, which was the group affiliated with Corbyn.

While the world is full of troubles
And anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

~The Stolen Child, by W.B. Yeats

(Elizabeth Yore) — In 2025, Independent MP Rupert Lowe initiated this independent, survivor focused, public crowdfunded investigation to examine systemic failures of UK police, and authorities into the sexual exploitation of children by grooming gangs. The report entitled Rape Gang Inquiry Report was issued last month on June 16 with the critical involvement of Rotherham survivor, Sammy Woodhouse. The inquiry was crowdfunded with funding from over 20,000 UK citizens in the amount of 764,000 pounds, with a public hearing featuring testimony from survivors, whistleblowers, experts, and investigators. The 219-page document details decades of systemic child sexual exploitation of at least 250,000 girls across the United Kingdom who were subjected to gang rape, trafficking, and forced conversions by Pakistani grooming rape gangs.

Although the first grooming gang scandal was exposed in 2003, little was done for years to meaningfully address the child exploitation scandal until the 2014 Jay Report, which investigated child sexual exploitation in the city of Rotherham in north-central England and found that 1,400 children were sexually abused between 1997 and 2013 by Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs.

Leftist Joshua Kerry Appears in Court, Charged With Anne Widdecombe’s Murder www.lifenews.com

EXCERPT:

Joshua Kerry, a 28-year-old man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, appeared Tuesday in Westminster Magistrates’ Court charged with the murder of longtime pro-life advocate Ann Widdecombe.

Kerry faces one count of murder in connection with the death of the 78-year-old former pro-life Conservative MP and Reform UK spokeswoman. Her body was discovered at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon, on July 9.

Police believe the attack occurred around 12:30 p.m. the previous day.

Widdecombe, a devout Catholic, spent more than 40 years as a champion of the pro-life cause. She was elected to Parliament in 1987 and served in ministerial roles, including at the Home Office. She later represented the Brexit Party in the European Parliament before becoming a prominent voice for Reform UK.

Throughout her career, she consistently voted for greater protections for unborn children, opposed the legalization of assisted suicide, and argued against measures that would erode abortion limits, citing medical advances that allow earlier viability.

A 14-year-old boy arrested by British police has been charged with a crime related to “terrorism” over an alleged plot to target local mosques.

London’s Metropolitan Police revealed the charge against the unnamed boy on Wednesday, saying he was suspected of preparing to carry out an “act of terrorism” in connection with “extreme right-wing” ideology.

“This is a very ⁠serious terrorism charge ⁠against a young boy and likely to be highly concerning to the public and ⁠the local community,” said Helen Flanagan, head of ⁠counterterrorism policing in London.

Police said they did not believe the ‌case pointed to a wider threat, but added that they had contacted the mosques, located in south London’s Sutton area, and offered advice and support.

“We know this will be particularly concerning to the Muslim community and we are working closely with the venues affected to ensure they are kept updated and to provide advice, support and reassurance, and this will continue,” said Flanagan.

In a sign of the continuing breakdown of religious freedom in Europe, Finnish parliament member Päivi Räsänen was banned by the U.K. from traveling to Heathrow Airport for a planned layover due to her Finnish Supreme Court conviction in March for authoring a pamphlet containing supposed “hate speech” toward those who identify as LGBT.

Räsänen’s legal saga began in 2019, when she wrote a post on social media questioning why her Finnish Lutheran Church was choosing to participate in an LGBT Pride event, citing the scriptural prohibition against same-sex conduct from Romans 1:24-27. Finnish authorities eventually charged her and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola with “hate speech” for authoring a pamphlet advocating for a biblical view of sexuality and for the social media post.
