Victoria Starmer appears unbothered by the ongoing party frock scandal as she makes her debut at a London Fashion Week show today, gracing the front row of the Edeline Lee runway. Outside Millbank Tower, she was spotted wearing a £1,200 jacket, along with a custom-made polka dot dress, presumably from the same pricey brand. Who covered the cost of this ensemble?
Interesting timing…
Disgraced BBC presenter Huw Edwards has been sentenced to six months imprisonment suspended for two years with a requirement to complete a sex offender programme. As the chief magistrate told Huw, his “reputation is now in tatters”…
The court was told today that Edwards paid between £1,000 and £1,500 to a convicted paedophile, Alex Williams, for images of child sex abuse. On one occasion, Edwards replied “f***” to an indecent video of an underage child, before wishing the paedophile a Happy Christmas. Meanwhile, Edwards’ defence claimed he was “mentally vulnerable” and has “no memory of viewing any of the images”. Not a good look for the BBC…
The Conservatives have written to the Standards Commissioner, calling for a full investigation into Keir Starmer’s failure to disclose donations from Lord Waheed Alli. This comes after it emerged Starmer failed to declare the fact Alli footed the £5,000 bill for Starmer’s wife, Lady Vic, to indulge in a personal shopper and have her dresses and clothes altered. Potentially a serious breach of parliamentary rules…
Starmer, who previously reminded the Tories in 2021 of the need to declare donations within 28 days, now stands accused of not practicing what he preached. So much for his claims of governing with integrity, honesty, and promising to “clean up” politics…

The Centre for Migration Control has just released a bombshell report, revealing that migrants are far more likely to be arrested than to their British-born counterparts. The analysis, based on data from police forces across England and Wales, projects that in the past three years alone, a staggering 369,000 arrests were linked to foreign-born nationals. Looks like while the prisons are filling up, so are the rap sheets of migrants…
For context, in 2023 the arrest rate for British nationals stood at one per 94 people. For foreign-born nationals, that number shoots up to one in 70—a whopping 34% higher than the native-born population. Meanwhile, Farage has been calling on Labour to deport the “10,000 foreign nationals in our prisons” instead of letting “dangerous criminals” roam free. The real Leader of the Opposition…
After another weekend of record-high Channel boat crossings, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper was asked (not by her husband this time) on BBC Breakfast when Labour would bring down the number of illegal (or as Labour calls it, “irregular”) Channel migrant crossings. She couldn’t answer the question…
Asked three times when boat crossings would fall and whether she had a target date, Cooper dodged the question, repeating the empty line: “We need to make progress as fast as possible because no one should be making these dangerous boat crossings.” Meanwhile, Starmer hinted yesterday at sending asylum seekers to a third country, similar to the Rwanda scheme, as he prepares to learn from Italian Prime Minister Meloni’s “strong ideas” today. As expected, the slogan “smashing the gangs” is not deterrent enough…
Former Treasury minister and adviser to Burnham in the Makerfield campaign Lord Jim O’Neill, who has turned down a role in his government, said Burnham’s first statement Commons was:
“The last thing investors wanted to hear… gilt yields have risen by a 0.25% in one day, which is a lot. We’ve not had that since Liz Truss days… If your country is under the focus of ‘can they come up with a sensible fiscal strategy’ on a day when the markets think ‘well no, you’re not showing any sign of it’ you’re going to have a tough day…if it stays like this your mortgage rate is going up.”
