Breitbart: Farage Vows to Fund Inquiry Into Muslim Child Rape Grooming Scandal
Nigel Farage has pledged that his Reform UK party will finance an inquiry into the child rape grooming gang scandal if the Labour government does not initiate one. He criticized the government's refusal, claiming there is significant public demand for a new investigation into the issue.
Farage and the Blue Labour campaign group argue that previous reports have been inadequate and have called for accountability regarding the abuse of young girls, which has been largely ignored by authorities. They contend that the real racism lies in the neglect of victims, predominantly white British girls, by officials hesitant to confront the issue due to fears of appearing racist.
GB News: Justin Welby’s ‘disastrous legacy’ torn apart by vicar in brutal verdict: 'Not good enough!'
Reverend Stephen Kuhrt criticized Justin Welby's tenure as Archbishop of Canterbury, labeling it a "disastrous legacy" primarily due to his handling of safeguarding issues related to abuse allegations. Kuhrt highlighted the failure to adequately address the case of John Smyth, a notorious abuser, suggesting that Welby’s inaction contributed to a lack of justice.
While acknowledging some positive aspects of Welby's leadership, including his personal approach to difficult topics, Kuhrt emphasized the need for decisive action over mere statements regarding safeguarding. He expressed disbelief at Welby's failure to pursue the matter with greater urgency.

Greenland's strategic importance has drawn interest due to new shipping routes in the Arctic, but its leaders maintain that the territory is not for sale. Historical attempts to purchase Greenland have been met with similar resistance.
Times Of Israel: Defanged but still dangerous, Hezbollah will try to regain its bite, experts predict

Both sides are preparing for possible escalations, with the IDF continuing strikes against Hezbollah.

Fox News: Daniel Penny demands dismissal of civil lawsuit from Jordan Neely's father
Daniel Penny's legal team is seeking to have a civil lawsuit from Jordan Neely's father dismissed, arguing that any injuries Neely sustained were due to his own conduct. This follows Penny's acquittal of criminally negligent homicide related to Neely's death during a violent subway incident.
Neely, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, threatened passengers before Penny intervened. Legal experts suggest Neely's family may have a stronger case in civil court due to the lower burden of proof required.
