Four ambulances run by a Jewish community group in London’s Golders Green were set on fire in the early hours of Monday morning. Iran-linked terrorists have claimed responsibility.

‘I tried to save them’ | Grooming-gangs whistleblower Maggie Oliver
Victims of the grooming gangs are being let down – again. The UK’s Labour government is stalling a public inquiry into the industrial-scale abuse of Britain’s working class girls by mainly Pakistani Muslim men. Speaking to spiked’s Georgina Mumford, former police constable Maggie Oliver – who blew the whistle on the Rochdale child-abuse ring – reveals how these crimes were covered up by the authorities, and how the victims were neglected, blamed and even criminalised. She is currently suing the UK government over its failures to protect young girls. Buy Maggie’s book, Survivors: One Brave Detective's Battle to Expose the Rochdale Child Abuse Scandal here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Survivors-Detectives-Battle-Rochdale-Scandal/dp/1789460859 For more information about Maggie’s work, visit her charity, the Maggie Oliver Foundation: https://www.themaggieoliverfoundation.com/ Get tickets for the spiked summit – a brand-new flagship live event bringing spiked’s writers and high-profile friends together for a day of bold debate, live Q&As and on-stage exchanges in Westminster, London.

Why Ed Miliband – not Iran – is to blame for the UK’s energy crisis | David Turver
As the Iran War sends oil and gas prices spiralling, Labour’s Ed Miliband has doubled down on his Net Zero zealotry. Switching from fossil fuels to renewables, the UK energy minister claims, will drive costs down, reduce volatility and protect British consumers from external shocks. Here, David Turver – energy analyst and author of the Eigen Values Substack – demolishes Miliband’s green-energy delusions. Labour’s crusade against fossil fuels, Turver says, has proven far more damaging than the war in Iran. Britain has been lumbered with an energy system that is needlessly expensive, overly reliant on imports and that carries the risks of widespread blackouts.
