Month: October 2026

A female University of Mons student was allegedly sequestered and raped in the back room of a convenience store by three men of Pakistani origin in the Belgian city of Mons. The suspects are now on trial as of Oct. 12, 2026, for aggravated rape and unlawful confinement.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Dec. 12, 2025, at a night shop on Rue de la Clef in Mons. The student, identified in reports as Laura, a pseudonym, entered the store around 1:30 a.m. after an evening out, first to buy cookies and later around 1:42 a.m., for a drink. A shop employee invited her to have a drink in the back room. She agreed while using a translation app to communicate with him and then followed him. While she was in the back of the shop, the other employees closed the shop at 2:29 a.m. with her still inside.

While she was with the men, the owner asked an employee to serve her whisky and Cola.

Concerned about the drinking the beverage, she texted her roommate: “I’m at the convenience store. If I don’t come back, call the police.”

After consuming the drink, her vision then blurred and she lost consciousness, according to Belgian news outlet L’Avenir.

She regained awareness around 6:34 a.m., alone in the back room, disoriented, with her clothes disheveled and without underwear. She then got up and left. 

Garbage collectors later described seeing a terrified young woman looking over her shoulder. She reported sexual violence to her roommate and medical exams found male DNA in her vagina. 

Police intervened at the shop, finding two men present and a third hidden in a cupboard. Investigators recovered the student’s underwear, which contained semen matching one of the three suspects.

The three men are all of Pakistani origin, including the shop owner and an employee. The police arrested the suspects. 

One also faces a charge related to an alleged attempted rape of another customer in July 2025, which involved an attempt to force a kiss in the back room. All three deny the charges. The owner has claimed the student tried to steal €7,000 from his pockets, a version the prosecution rejects as it does not explain the scientific evidence.

In court a Monday morning, the public prosecutor treated the three as co-authors of the rape. 

“None of the three justifies the closing of the shop while this young woman is inside,” the prosecutor stated, requesting sentences of four and five years. 

The court also discussed a possible requalification of the facts as failure to assist a person in danger for two of the accused, while the defense lawyers pleaded for acquittal. 

The student’s lawyer, Odile Maes, argued the men knew what was happening in the back room and shared responsibility, calling them “sexual predators.”

 The victim was present in court and delivered emotional testimony, saying: “I have the feeling of having been thrown away like a broken toy that night. They tore away my dignity, my body, my friends, my family, my studies, and many other things. I demand justice.”

The student has described lasting effects including nightmares, isolation, fear of men, weight gain, and the loss of a student job, though she completed her first year of university with schedule adjustments. A judgment is expected in early November.

Fresh investigations have challenged viral claims that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian technology giant Yandex crippled bot networks supporting Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and Trump’s MAGA movement. Research published on 12–13 October found no comparable collapse in political social media activity, undermining a narrative that spread rapidly following the attacks.

Danish analyst Valdemar Osted of Common Consultancy tested the claim against Facebook data from 76 AfD politicians and 136 MAGA accounts. His team compared comments on new posts with each account’s usual performance, adjusting for posting time, weekday, and each post’s age. After the strikes, AfD comment levels ranged from 8 per cent below to 5 per cent above expectations, while MAGA accounts performed between 4 and 10 per cent above expectations.

Rather than disappearing, comments on new MAGA posts totalled between 480,000 and 560,000 a day following the attacks, compared with around 370,000 in late September. Osted described the variations as ordinary fluctuations.

There's a story going around: after the drone strikes on Yandex data centres, comments on AfD and MAGA accounts collapsed.
We monitor 17,000+ politicians, media and civil society accounts in 30+ countries. 50,000+ posts a day.
So we checked.
We don't see it. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/8quSNosqv0

Researchers monitoring suspected influence campaigns reached similar conclusions. Richard Schwenn, an analyst at the German think tank Polisphere, told Capital that its tracking of nearly 10,000 accounts on TikTok, Telegram, and X—including accounts associated with disinformation, the AfD ecosystem, and pro-Russian sources—showed no statistically significant decline. Data collected with the Hasso Plattner Institute showed no comparable reduction in existing bot activity or new bot creation. Josef Holnburger, managing director of the German disinformation research organization CeMAS, likewise reported no related decline in the Russian disinformation campaigns his organization monitors.

Likewise, Poland’s state research institute NASK examined activity on X among accounts monitored for spreading disinformation between 30 September and 11 October. It found no significant overall decline after the Ukrainian strikes, according to findings provided to Interia. Some individual accounts stopped posting, but investigators could not establish any connection to the Yandex strikes.

Kyiv struck three Yandex data centres in Sasovo, Kaluga and the Vladimir region between 8 and 11 October. The facilities support Russian cloud services, businesses and artificial intelligence systems. Outages disrupted Yandex services and dependent websites, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged on Tuesday that the government was discussing the problems and that the company was taking urgent recovery measures.

Reports of a dramatic collapse in Russian bot traffic quickly fuelled claims that the strikes had also crippled Kremlin-linked propaganda networks. Cloudflare recorded automated requests from Yandex’s network falling to just 0.4 per cent of the comparison period’s peak. However, the data measured automated web traffic, primarily search-engine crawlers, not propaganda accounts operating on social media. Broader Cloudflare figures showed no comparable collapse in automated activity originating from Russia.

The claims nevertheless spread rapidly, particularly after Czech MEP Tomáš Zdechovský shared a chart suggesting a 56 per cent decline in online activity surrounding the AfD. The graphic provided no identifiable source, methodology or underlying dataset. German fact-checkers also discovered glaring chronological inconsistencies, including figures extending to 15 October, several days after the chart had already circulated online.

If confirmed, this is telling: Russian data centres get hit, and online activity around AfD suddenly plummets. 📉

So much talk about German patriotism… then the connection from Russia goes down. 🤔🇷🇺 pic.twitter.com/hEPJkIVtA3

Polish military commentator Jarosław Wolski helped spread the claim that AfD-related bot activity had fallen by 56 per cent, while also suggesting an abrupt decline in online MAGA support. On Tuesday, he deleted his post and apologized for disseminating false information, acknowledging that it had reached millions.

Poland’s intelligence services coordinator Tomasz Siemoniak separately claimed that the domestic security agency ABW had observed a major decline in Russian bot activity. Challenged over the episode, he said he had relied on ABW information rather than the viral graphic.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also suggested on Monday that social media had become less hostile after the strikes, citing fewer bots. Yet Ukraine’s own Center for Countering Disinformation acknowledged on Tuesday that it had no evidence of a major overall reduction in Russian bot-network activity. It reported narrower, temporary disruption to the Pravda, InfoDefense and Nod of Time networks, with posting in some clusters halving for roughly 12 hours before recovering.

First, euthanasia campaigners sell death under the banner of “choice.” Then, they take away your choices.

On September 27, 68.1 percent of voters in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, approved a new requirement that compels hospitals and elder care homes – including Christian establishments – to perpetrate assisted suicide on their premises. At least 30 Christian institutions still refuse the practice and will be impacted by the referendum vote.

“Voters in Zurich canton approved changes to the Patientinnen- und Patientengesetz (Patients Act) and Gesundheitsgesetz (Health Act) requiring hospitals and care homes to make assisted suicide possible within their facilities,” reported the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe.

“The proposal received 68.1% of the vote on 27 September 2026. Christian institutions will be bound by the requirement despite their conscientious objections. According to PRO, implementation is expected in spring 2027. Previously, hospitals and private care homes outside the existing municipal requirement could decide whether to refuse assisted suicide.”

Of course, this means that those who wish to be cared for or receive medical help in an institution that does not kill will have no place to go. According to Swiss news site SRF:

Markus Schaaf, the nursing home director and a member of the cantonal parliament for the Evangelical People’s Party (EVP), was particularly vocal in his opposition to the proposal. He told SRF that he was disappointed but not surprised by the result, as it would eliminate any freedom of choice: Residents could no longer choose between a nursing home that tolerated assisted suicide and one that did not.

Schaaf is not the only one speaking out. Daniel Milli, director of the Haus St. Otmar, a care home connected with the Catholic St. Anton parish, stated that ending the lives of residents runs contrary to their life-affirming mission, and emphasized that prospective residents and their families were told prior to admission that assisted suicide is prohibited at Haus St. Otmar. Bishop Joseph Maria Bonnemain of the Diocese of Chur also expressed his opposition to the measure in a statement on September 27.

“Where the termination of a life is legally regulated and socially accepted as a possible response to severe suffering, our view of vulnerability, dependence, and dignity changes,” he stated. “A person’s dignity does not depend on whether they are healthy, capable, autonomous, or free from pain. It remains, it must remain inviolable – especially in illness, despair, and at the end of life.”

“Many people who express a wish to die don’t simply want to die,” Bonnemain added. “They don’t want to be alone, be a burden to anyone, suffer unbearable pain, or lose control over their lives. Our society must respond to this with reliable support: with good palliative care, human connection, psychological and pastoral support, as well as concrete relief for family members and good working conditions for nursing staff.”

In the U.K. this year, assisted suicide advocates admitted that religious institutions would be forced to accept the practice. Labour MP Lewis Atkinson spoke against proposed protections that would permit hospices and care homes to refuse assisted suicide on their premises on March 19, stating that killing people by lethal injection would become part of end-of-life services and that “We would not accept such stipulations on other healthcare services.” Fortunately, Parliament killed the bill, instead.

Here in Canada, the Globe and Mail recently published an editorial by Andre Picard calling for the “secularization” of Catholic hospitals due to their refusal to permit assisted suicide and abortion. He also made it clear that other Christian institutions that care for the vulnerable would be next, noting ominously: “Many long-term care homes with religious affiliations also refuse to allow MAiD on their premises.”

For those in the Canton of Zurich who wish to be cared for by those who will not kill, that choice has been taken away from them. If Andre Picard and Canada’s suicide campaigners get their way, the same thing will happen in Canada. Christian institutions that refuse to kill are to be either euthanized or, essentially, stolen by the state.

Observers agree: the violent riots that have been shaking France for weeks, and now also the Belgian capital Brussels, have nothing to do with school and youth unrest.

Rather, they are a highly dangerous mix of mostly young male migrants and local left-wing troublemakers. Since the elements of the unrest are present in most European countries as a result of mass immigration, the protests have the potential to become a Europe-wide conflagration.

On Friday, the unrest spread from France to its northern neighbor, Belgium. In Brussels, masked youths clashed with police in street battles, set vehicles on fire, and vandalized parts of the city center. According to official media reports, some members of the Belgian “student movement” were inspired by the protests in France.

Early in the morning, numerous youths dressed in black gathered near the central train station. Emergency responders were attacked with paving stones, glass bottles, wooden poles, and fireworks. Police deployed water cannons and tear gas. Bicycles, e-scooters, and trash cans were set ablaze, and street furniture was piled up to form barricades. A public bus burned out near the southern train station.

During searches, officers seized items including Molotov cocktails, gasoline, fireworks, a knife, and a hammer. In the afternoon, 18 people were initially arrested, including 13 minors. By evening, the number of arrests had risen significantly. Broadcaster BX1 reported approximately 80 people in police custody and about 30 further arrests as part of criminal investigations. In addition to the burned-out bus, four other buses, as well as police vehicles, a fire engine, and car-sharing vehicles, were damaged.

Brussels Mayor Philippe Close demanded a thorough legal investigation. Identified perpetrators should be held accountable for the damages caused. Investigators intend to analyze videos recorded by the alleged participants themselves.

The riots occurred on the sidelines of a large demonstration against the Belgian government’s austerity policies. Police estimated the number of participants at around 30,000, while organizers claimed 50,000. The union protest itself was largely peaceful. Security officials emphasized that the violence was unrelated to the demonstrators’ demands.

The situation had already escalated in Liège, where youths attacked police officers and damaged shops during student protests. Authorities imposed a ban on gatherings. According to the Associated Press, more than 200 people were arrested during the protests.

A 25-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday, October 13, after damaging a statue in the Church of Saint-Henri in Le Creusot (Saône-et-Loire).

According to ‘Creusot Infos’, the man, who is described as being of the Muslim faith, was completely drunk. He is alleged to have knocked over a statue of Saint Joseph before severing its head and displaying it on a bench.

As he left the church, he is said to have harassed several people, particularly young people, before being arrested by the police. Division Commander Arnaud Plantard states that he was previously unknown to the authorities.

The suspect spoke in a manner that was perceived as incoherent and exhibited signs of mental health issues. On the orders of the public prosecutor’s office, he was taken to the Hôtel-Dieu, where he was administered sedatives, and was subsequently due to be admitted to the specialist clinic in Sevrey. The investigation is ongoing.

Traditional British surnames could be dying out as they make way for names such as Khan, Ahmed and Ali.

Office for National Statistics (ONS) data has revealed a striking decline in traditionally British surnames among newborns across England and Wales.

The figures, seen by the Daily Mail, span roughly three decades and paint a picture of profound change in the nation’s demographic makeup.

Surnames that once dominated birth registrations – quintessentially British names passed down through generations – have seen sharp falls in prevalence.

Meanwhile, surnames with roots in South Asian and Muslim communities have climbed dramatically up the rankings.

The shift is among the most vivid statistical illustrations yet of how immigration and changing birth rates are reshaping the cultural landscape of England and Wales.

Back in 1996, Smith, Jones and Williams occupied the top three positions for newborn surnames. Taylor, Brown, Davies, Evans, Thomas, Johnson and Wilson completed that year’s leading ten.

The picture in 2025 looks remarkably different. Today’s top 10 reads: Smith, Khan, Ahmed, Ali, Jones, Hussain, Singh, Williams, Patel and Kaur.

Jones, whilst still featuring, has experienced a 43 per cent drop in popularity over the period. Williams has suffered a comparable decline, slipping to eighth place.

The remaining surnames that were fixtures of the 1990s list – Taylor, Brown, Davies, Evans, Thomas, Johnson and Wilson – have all fallen out of the top 10 entirely. They now sit between 11th and 17th position.

The surge in South Asian surnames has been dramatic. Khan, Ahmed and Ali have each doubled in frequency since 1996, while Singh and Kaur – traditionally adopted by Sikh men and women respectively – have risen at least fivefold.

Aman Bhogal from Global Britain UK told GB News: “Britain is now just a visa option for global migrants, an economic hub where people come to earn and send the money ‘back home’ and boast a ‘settled status’.

“And with it we are squandering our civilisational inheritance at the hands of a Whitehall long hooked on to mass migration.

“This massive demographic change is transforming our country rapidly in real time from the UK into the ‘Yookay’.

“I have previously called for an emergency brake on all migration; without one, the country we recognise will be long gone.”

The data relies on exact spelling, so different variations of the same surname are counted separately. Births where a surname appeared only once or twice were excluded from the dataset, ensuring statistical reliability across the 30-year comparison period.

Britain’s pool of surnames is also growing more diverse. In 2025, more than 23,400 distinct surnames were recorded among newborns, a notable increase from the 21,600 logged three decades earlier.

Yet concentration at the top has thinned considerably. Just 23 surnames were given to a thousand or more babies last year, down sharply from 57 in 1996.

Smith, still the nation’s most common surname, saw its numbers fall from 7,276 newborns to 4,102 over the period.

The findings arrive alongside separate ONS data published this summer confirming that Muhammad has held the position of most popular boys’ name in England and Wales for a third consecutive year, with 5,957 boys receiving that specific spelling in 2025.

Olivia, meanwhile, retained the top spot among girls for a fourth year running.

The welfare state at work.

Since ‘universal health care’ is such a popular topic in the U.S., here’s how it’s working out in the UK.

On the one hand, babies and the elderly get ‘put down’ to save money and people are pulling out their own teeth due to lack of dentists.

The British Dental Association says around 12 million people are currently looking for an NHS dentist providing free care as increasing numbers of practitioners turn their backs on the NHS in favour of more lucrative private practice. Concern over the state of children’s teeth comes amid a population-wide emergency in dental services that has seen people resorting to “Victorian-era” solutions such as pulling out their own teeth.

But it also means the ‘disabled’ get free cars and boy are there suddenly a whole lot of disabled demanding their free cars.

One benefit, created to help those with disabilities be more mobile, allows people to give up part of their welfare cash handout in return for a new car every three years. It now accounts for around one in every seven new car sales in the U.K. Among those who got new cars last year: 40 people whose primary medical condition was tennis elbow, 50 with wheat intolerance and 320 with dyslexia, according to government figures.

Some seven million people—more than 10% of the population—now claim at least one or more sickness or disability benefits.

Catherine Wieland got on Britain’s welfare rolls in 2021. With a history of emotional trauma, she was too anxious to go outside or carry out simple tasks like washing herself, she told the government. Using a taxpayer-subsidized program for those with disabilities, Wieland paid a small deposit for a free BMW, which she used to regularly visit the hair salon, dine out at restaurants, attend a Brighton pride parade and visit an amusement park.

This is the typical paradigm for the welfare state in which basic shortages of core services is offset by vast amounts of money being spent on consultants, grifters and assorted special interests. You can get a free house or a car, but if you want to see a dentist, better pull your own teeth.

The extremes may not be as grand in the U.S. just yet, but we’re getting there. Just ask your friendly local Somali health care center.

A trans-identified male has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly stabbing a 50-year-old man 13 times on Chicago’s South Side. Prosecutors say the horrific crime was committed in front of a 7-year-old child, and the brutal attack caused the tip of the knife to break off and embed in the victim’s skull.

Kelly Day, 32, of Chatham, was charged following the October 7 killing in the 1400 block of East 87th Street. The victim, Larry Young, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died.

At a detention hearing on October 10, prosecutors said Young pushed Day before walking away towards a gas station across the street. According to the prosecution’s account, Day followed him and the two fought. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Day standing over Young as he lay on the ground and repeatedly stabbing his head, neck and upper shoulders.

Authorities say a pathologist recovered a broken blade tip from Young’s skull. The medical examiner determined that he died from multiple sharp force injuries.

Assistant State Attorney Sara Grgurovic also described an earlier confrontation involving Day at a McDonald’s, where a group of people had mocked Day for using the women’s toilets. Day subsequently told his wife that he did not want “bullies” to get away with making fun of him for being trans.

However, Young is not believed to have beeb part of the group who ridiculed Day. Young approached Day later on that evening while he was with his wife and his stepson as they walked along 87th Street, making comments about Day being transgender that prosecutors say prompted an argument. Day became “extremely angry” and resisted his wife’s attempts to pull him away, according to prosecutors.

After the stabbing, which took place in full view of Day’s own 7-year-old stepson, prosecutors say Day gave two different accounts of his injury in calls to 911, initially claiming that he had been hurt while defending himself against a “pervert,” while in a later call, he said he had cut himself while cooking.

Day allegedly discarded the knife before seeking treatment for a cut finger at Jackson Park Hospital, where he was ultimately arrested. Investigators recovered a knife with part of its blade missing.

After his arrest, Day claimed self-defense, telling investigators that Young had used a bigoted slur, made a gun gesture and threatened to have someone beat up him and his wife. Judge John Hock ordered Day detained pending trial, citing the brutality of the attack among the reasons for his decision, with Day’s next court appearance scheduled for October 13.

Since news of the arrest, multiple news outlets have focused on the alleged “transphobia” Day claimed to have been the victim of in the lead up to Young’s murder.

The Chicago Tribune quoted Isa Noyola, a trans-identified male who directs the Border Butterfly Project, attributing the incident to “the political climate, the social climate that we’re living in.” Noyola blamed “hate groups” and political leaders for demonizing trans-identified people. The report also discussed Mayor Brandon Johnson’s “Transfemicide Working Group,” an initiative concerned with the killing of trans-identified males, despite the person killed in this case being Young. 

Hoodline’s headline read “Judge Orders South Side Trans Woman Held in Fatal Stabbing of Bully”, labelling Young a bully without quotation marks. Prosecutors had attributed the remark about “bullies” to Day, referring to the separate group at McDonald’s before he encountered Young.

If convicted, Day may be placed in a women’s prison in accordance with precedents set by previous litigation backed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in the state.

In December 2025, Reduxx reported that Jordan Kuykendall, also known as “Sora”, had been moved to Logan Correctional Center, a women’s prison, while serving a 40-year sentence for the 2013 stabbing murder of his former girlfriend, 17-year-old Erin Schneider. She was found dead just hours before a court appearance concerning an emergency protection order sought by her mother.

In a separate investigation, Reduxx detailed the case of Andre Cashmere Patterson, also known as “Janiah Monroe”, who strangled his cellmate, Kimani Muhammad, in Cook County jail in 2006. He was similarly transferred to Logan in April 2019 following ACLU-backed “discrimination” lawsuit.

Two months after that transfer, a female inmate filed a report alleging that Patterson had raped her. In a subsequent lawsuit, she accused prison staff of trying to classify the assault as consensual and coercing her to retract her allegation. The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in September 2022.

Reduxx also reported on John Wesley Finnegan, who began calling himself “Hannah Dagny” years into a 22-year sentence for strangling his mother, Mary, in 2008. He later told police that he had sexually abused her corpse.

In December 2025, Reduxx documented Finnegan’s placement at Decatur Correctional Center, an Illinois women’s prison with a mother-baby unit. Chicago-based lawyers had also sought clemency for him, portraying him as a survivor of abuse.

The Labour Party-run British government reportedly provided funding used to train leftist activists to prevent Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party or the Conservatives from coming to power and to stifle the public’s concerns over mass migration.

In the wake of the 2024 Southport Riots, which broke out after a second-generation Rwandan teen went on a mass stabbing at a children’s dance party, leaving three dead and ten others injured, then-Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner announced a £15 million ($20m) “community cohesion” fund supposedly intended to prevent more disorder.

“In the immediate aftermath of the unrest, I was heartened to see the extent to which communities so quickly came together to support one another and their local areas, she said at the time. “This new Community Recovery Fund will support the work that is already under way and ensure that communities have the resources they need to rebuild.”

However, according to a report from London’s Daily Telegraph, some of the money from the fund was channeled through Labour-run city councils into left-wing political projects, including the training of activists by groups such as the School of Organising, which was reportedly founded by former members of the far-left cancel culture Hope Not Hate group.

The broadsheet reported that materials produced for the training sessions included instructions on how to convince voters to reject Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and the “Tory-Right”, while coaching activists up on strategies to shift working-class communities away from voting for right-wing parties.

One training session reportedly told attendees that “our people (the working classes) are voting Reform UK in the belief that migrants are the problem,” while “toxic forces are asserting a narrative that prioritises the interests of straight, white, men.”

The activists were informed of the “vulnerability of working class communities to far-Right, alt-Right and Tory-Right narratives of division and blame” which included claims that “migrants put strain on underfunded services and are willing to work for lower pay”.

Meanwhile, the lectures are said to have taken aim at specific British politicians, including Nigel Farage, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and ex-Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who were described as being “symptoms of the same disease” as President Donald Trump, Dutch Party For Freedom leader Geert Wilders, French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, Indian PM Modi, and anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson.

Mr Farage was reportedly described in another publicly-funded leftist training effort as “a classic authoritarian populist” who is intent on “undermining democracy”.

Farage’s party, Reform UK, is described as being “hostile to multiculturalism, hostile to LGBTQ+ rights, opposes ‘woke’ in the classroom, wants out of the European Convention of Human Rights, and will rip up our already limited climate change commitments.”

Activists were even trained on to oppose anti-mass migration protests, including on how to form their own counter demonstrations, as well as being coached up on social media campaigns and sloganeering.

In one scenario laid out, trainees were told of a seaside town which has seen a large influx of migrants and that local candidates are preparing to run in an election opposing “giving preferential housing to refugees and asylum seekers, allowing school standards to drop because of the presence of children who have English as a second language, and for giving grants to ethnic and other minority groups”.

“There has been a number of unpleasant stories in the local paper, which has begun to prioritise reporting of petty crimes by migrants (shoplifting, drunkenness etc) and the editorials have begun to suggest that these migrants are unwelcome.”

The training suggested that they set up protests and look to groups like Hope Not Hate for inspiration on “disrupting far-Right candidates at elections”.

The funding for the leftist political organising reportedly came though the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), which Angela Rayner led at the time, prior to her being forced to resign after it was revealed she had not paid full tax on a second home. She has since been brought back into government by Prime Minsiter Andy Burnham.

According to The Telegraph, the £15 million “Community Recovery Fund” was distributed to local councils, which then went on to allocate the money to groups including the School of Organising.

The report found that the then-Labour-run Birmingham City Council funded the initial pilot scheme for the activist training sessions to the tune of £13,450 ($17,814). This was followed by similar efforts by the councils in Blackpool and Sheffield, among others.

Responding to the report, a spokesman for the Housing Ministry said: “Councils are not permitted to use taxpayers’ money to fund partisan issues or party-political activity. Councils must make sure money is spent in line with their responsibilities, and we have powers in place to recoup money if it is found to have been misspent.”

Another devastating milestone of the open-borders catastrophe has come to light.

New report out of Germany reveals that hundreds of child marriages have been officially logged across the country, exposing young girls, some as young as 11 years old, trapped in marital unions with adult men hailing from high-risk migration zones like Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan.

The findings emerged after lawmakers Nikolaos Boutakoglou and Emely Knorr of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party demanded answers from the state government.

For years, the legacy media and globalist elites in Berlin insisted that mass migration would enrich European society without consequences. Instead, they imported medieval practices that fundamentally clash with Western law, leaving vulnerable children to bear the brunt of reckless, unvetted border policies.

Since April 2012, officials in Baden-Württemberg recorded 358 marriages involving a child. Just eight were formally annulled. Since 2015 alone, 350 cases were logged.

According to Euronews, the records include several troubling cases involving girls from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, as well as a German teenager married to a Pakistani man.

Among the documented cases:

• 2020: An 11-year-old Iraqi girl was married to a 17-year-old Iraqi boy. Authorities subsequently annulled the marriage.
• 2018: A 14-year-old Afghan girl was married to a 30-year-old man before the marriage was annulled.
• 2024: A 16-year-old German girl was married to a 25-year-old Pakistani man. The marriage was annulled.
• 2024: A 16-year-old Syrian girl was married to a 27-year-old Syrian man. That marriage was also annulled.

Nearly 40 percent involved Syrians, while marriages between two Germans accounted for a mere 0.3 percent, according to AfD politician Nikolaos Boutakoglou.

The Baden-Württemberg inquiry also uncovered troubling information from YASEMIN, a counseling service supporting young people threatened by forced marriage.

In 2025, the organization recorded 271 counseling cases, including 80 involving individuals facing the threat of forced marriage.

Of those 80 individuals, 33 were minors.

Four were younger than 12, five were 12 years old, and two were 13.

These figures concern reported threats of forced marriage and must be distinguished from confirmed marriages.

The findings underscore the importance of early intervention, school-based reporting procedures, and adequate protection for children who may be vulnerable to coercion.

AfD politician Emely Knoll stated: “Child marriages are incompatible with our values. Children have a right to safety, education, and a self-determined future. That is why we need effective protection, early intervention, and decisive action against forced marriages.”

This is not new. In 2017, The Gateway Pundit reported that German authorities had already documented more than 1,500 cases of child marriages among refugees, including 361 girls under the age of 14. At the time, 664 of the child brides came from Syria, followed by Afghanistan and Iraq.

Justice Minister Heiko Maas declared that “Children do not belong at the wedding altar, they belong in school,” and lawmakers moved to outlaw child marriage.

AfD co-chair Alice Weidel highlighted the Baden-Württemberg numbers, accusing the government and the Christian Democratic Union of tolerating the situation for more than a decade while open borders continued.

She noted that courts annulled only eight of the marriages between 2018 and 2024 and argued the practice will end only through stronger AfD involvement.
