Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that Sir Keir Starmer take decisive action to protect Britain’s Jewish communities, saying words alone were insufficient in the wake of the Golders Green stabbings, as Israel warned that London had become too dangerous “to openly walk the streets as a Jew.” The Israeli prime minister’s intervention came as the British government faced a wave of international and domestic condemnation following Wednesday morning’s knife attack in north London, in which two Jewish men — one in his 70s and another in his 30s — were stabbed on Golders Green Road by a suspect who was seen…

Green Party leader Zack Polanski is facing intense criticism after a video resurfaced in which he suggested that fears about antisemitic attacks within Jewish communities may be a matter of “perception of unsafety” rather than actual danger — comments that landed days before two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green in a knife attack now being investigated by counter-terrorism police. The contrast between Polanski’s words and the violence that followed has drawn furious responses online, with one user writing sarcastically: “Don’t know why he’s worried, it’s probably just a perception of unsafety and a couple of unstabbings.” Another went…

The chairman of John Lewis has delivered a stark warning about the state of retail crime in Britain, describing the current wave of shoplifting as the worst he has witnessed in 35 years in the industry — while firmly rejecting the growing public appetite for workers to physically confront thieves. Writing in The Telegraph, Jason Tarry said he received “daily reports of abuse, organised criminal gangs and serious physical attacks” on John Lewis and Waitrose staff, but insisted the answer lay not in encouraging “have-a-go heroes” but in a coordinated response from retailers, law enforcement and the courts working together.…

Potentially explosive messages between Peter Mandelson and government ministers have been reviewed and are ready for release, but are unlikely to be published before next week’s local elections — meaning Sir Keir Starmer could face a fresh crisis over the scandal the moment Parliament returns. Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee confirmed last night it had completed its review of a large tranche of documents the Government was ordered to release in February. However, ministers are to be given the opportunity to contest the level of redactions applied on national security grounds, and with Parliament proroguing today ahead of the King’s…

Rupert Lowe, the Restore Britain MP and former Reform UK politician, has proposed banning all foreign nationals from claiming UK welfare benefits and deporting migrants who are unable to financially support themselves — with the savings redirected to reduce taxes for British workers. The policy, outlined by Lowe on social media, would bar non-British citizens from accessing Universal Credit, disability benefits and social housing, with a proposed residency and employment requirement of at least five years before any entitlement could be considered. Foreign nationals who cannot demonstrate financial self-sufficiency would be required to leave the country, with deportation for those…

Keir Starmer’s former chief of staff has told MPs he made “a serious mistake” in recommending Peter Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to the United States, saying the depth of the Labour peer’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was “way, way, way worse” than he had ever understood it to be. Morgan McSweeney, who resigned from his role in Downing Street in February, appeared before the Foreign Affairs Committee and gave his most candid account yet of the events surrounding Mandelson’s appointment and eventual sacking. He said the revelations that emerged about Mandelson’s friendship with Epstein — including photographs…

Britannia Daily can exclusively reveal an interview with Harris Khaliq, the independent candidate standing in Birmingham’s Ward End district, who has spoken candidly about Labour’s treatment of Muslim communities, his reasons for leaving the party and what he would do if elected. As a growing number of independent candidates prepare to contest traditionally safe Labour seats across Birmingham — threatening to end the party’s decades-long grip on Britain’s second city — Britannia Daily spoke exclusively with one of the most prominent challengers to hear directly from him about why he believes Labour has forfeited the right to govern communities it…

Sir Keir Starmer’s closest Cabinet ally told human rights lawyers they had made a greater contribution to society than the decorated British soldiers they had spent years falsely accusing of murder and torture in Iraq, newly obtained emails reveal — a disclosure that has prompted former senior military figures to demand his immediate resignation. Emails analysed by The Telegraph show Attorney General Lord Hermer making the extraordinary claim in April 2014, at a moment when key evidence had emerged at a public inquiry that fatally undermined the case his legal team had been pursuing against British troops. Writing to a…

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party is emerging as a genuine third-party force in Australian state politics, with new polling showing the populist movement commanding the support of one in five Victorian voters ahead of November’s state election — a development that has sent shockwaves through both major parties and prompted the Liberal Party to consider a dramatic shift in its preference strategy. Two sources inside the Victorian Liberal Party told The Age the party was now seriously considering directing preferences to One Nation ahead of Labor at the November 28 state election, reflecting how seriously the centre-right has begun to…

Angela Rayner has told Labour MPs that the moment to remove Sir Keir Starmer from Downing Street is “now or never,” as the embattled Prime Minister faces what could be the most critical week of his premiership — including a potential Commons vote that his own allies say would effectively function as a confidence motion. Rayner, the former Deputy Prime Minister, is understood to have spent the weekend canvassing support among Labour backbenchers alongside her allies, according to MPs who spoke to the Mail on Sunday. “The line from Angela is that it needs to happen now otherwise this deadly…
