Arday was found “unresponsive” at an address in Battersea on Friday afternoon. He was later pronounced dead.
A spokesman for the Met said officers were called by the London Ambulance Service at 3.12 p.m.
“Sadly, a 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by officers.
At this time his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious. The case is being investigated by officers from the Met’s Central South Command Unit. A file will be prepared for the coroner.”
British sovereign territory has just been stolen from under Andy Burnham’s nose. The United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf this week approved a submission filed by Mauritius in July 2024 extending its claim to the sea around Chagos – in other words, British Indian Ocean Territory. The UK Government has done nothing about it…
In a social media post yesterday former Mauritian PM Pravind Jugnauth said Mauritius could extend itself by 145,000 square kilometres. The UN has apparently approved this…
He described the move as “a major turning point… a source of pride for our country“. It places the sea around Chagos – which is governed by the UK – into Mauritius’s Exclusive Economic Zone, giving Port Louis fishing rights and disrupting the security around the sensitive UK-US base on Diego Garcia. What has the FCDO got to say about this?
The government says it has appointed Baroness Blake of Leeds as fire minister. More than 1,000 wildfires have been recorded across the country this year…
Samantha Dixon was previously Minister for Building Safety, Fire and Democracy until she lost her job on 22 July this year on Burnham’s ascent to No10. Despite the ridiculous name the ministerial role had wide responsibility:
Since then it appears that the Burnham government failed to fill the fire brief at all until this afternoon. That is a major f***-up…
A dedicated fire minister signs off planning, contingency policy and funding rapidly. It’s not a job for the Home Secretary or Housing Secretary…
That’s another misstep from ‘political master’ Burnham who is banning BBQs after about five heatwaves have already happened. And now smoke and mirrors with the month-late ‘appointment’ of a minister…
UPDATE: Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Mike Wood said:
“It is staggering that Burnham seemingly left the fire brief empty while firefighters battled wildfires and the country endured record temperatures. This is extremely negligent and Burnham should explain how it was allowed to happen.”

Cambridge University imposed an organisation-wide guide to recruiting more ‘diverse’ individuals. It’s the ‘soft bigotry of low expectations’ in one document…
The University has an investigation ongoing into the Arday debacle and has also announced a second probe into senior appointments. The faculty of education is in the spotlight…
This ‘Diverse Recruitment Framework’ first appeared in the summer of 2022. When peak woke was still raging and the year before one Jason Arday was appointed…
Cambridge University said at the time:
“The University’s Race Equality Charter submission shows that some institutions have very low proportions of BAME staff and students which may contribute to experiencing exclusion, limited sense of belonging, while being hyper-visible at the same time.
Therefore we strongly encourage colleagues involved in the recruitment activities at the University to follow suggestions included in the new Diverse Recruitment Framework (DRF). The DRF contains advice on recommended actions at each recruitment stage from creating job adverts, advertising, interviewing and appointing, to improve fairness and transparency of the process.”
Here are some highlights:
No wonder academia is recruiting poor quality staff. Read the full document below:

Lord Khan in the Telegraph: “I hope, and I say this in a non-pompous way, that the public service I do will bring rewards in this world and the hereafter,” he says. “I’m hoping the work I do is earning me Brownie points.”
