Newly Ennobled Labour Peer Campaigned For a Paedophile
Sir Keir Starmer nominated a former adviser for a peerage despite knowing he campaigned for a councillor who had been charged with child sex offences. The Times has more.
Rape case in which teenage boys spared jail 'appalling', PM says
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has called the sentences a "disgrace", while Reform's Robert Jenrick said the judge had made a "very bad error".
Sir Keir Starmer has said a rape case in which two teenage boys were spared jail is "appalling" and it's "right that law officers are urgently reviewing the sentences".
Responding to an interview with one of the victims, the prime minister said on social media: "This is a harrowing and brave testimony.
"The girls at the heart of this case have shown extraordinary bravery and strength in heinous circumstances.
"This is an appalling case and it is right that law officers are urgently reviewing the sentences."
Two girls were raped in separate attacks in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, by two 15-year-old boys who were given non-custodial sentences.
The judge said he wanted to "avoid criminalising these children unnecessarily" and gave them youth rehabilitation orders (YRO) and intensive supervision and surveillance (ISS).
The attorney general is reviewing the case and could refer it to the Court of Appeal, who might then choose to change the sentences, if they feel they are unduly lenient.

UK government’s booklet for “asylum seekers” is an admission that whistle-blowers were right all along
On Wednesday, the UK Home Office published a booklet to be handed out to “asylum seekers,” educating them that rape is a crime in the UK.
This booklet serves as an admission that whistle-blowers and others persecuted by the state for speaking out about crimes committed by people from specific cultures or ethnic groups are not racist but have been speaking the truth; but a truth the Government doesn’t want you to know.
“The British government has decided that adults arriving in this country require dedicated instruction that women are equal, that sex requires consent, and that sex with a child is a crime,” Raja Miah wrote.
He was referring to the booklet published on Wednesday by the UK Home Office to educate “asylum seekers” about UK laws and customs that may differ from those in their home countries.

“The booklet covers gender equality, domestic abuse, sex and consent, and respect in public. One poster lists what you must never do to a child, including sexual contact with a child under 16. Another explains that in the UK both people must say yes to sex, and that it is still rape if you are married to the person,” Miah explained.
The publishing of the booklet follows a spate of reported sexual offences committed by migrants where the offenders claimed they did not understand UK law. “That rationale is not printed in the booklet itself. The Home Office wrote down the instruction and left out the reason why they published it,” Miah said
The unsaid reasoning behind the booklet is not hard to find, he added. “It is in the court records of the last twelve months, and in the Home Office’s own filing cabinet. Let me help remind you.”

Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK, Home Office, 19 August 2026
1. In September 2025, Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, an Ethiopian asylum seeker housed at the Bell Hotel in Epping, was convicted at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court of five offences. Two counts of sexual assault, one of attempted sexual assault, one of inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity and one of harassment without violence.

Days after arriving by small boat, he told two teenage girls he wanted a baby with each of them, tried to kiss them and put his hand on one girl’s thigh. He sexually assaulted a woman by putting his hand on her leg and telling her she was pretty. He received twelve months, the maximum a magistrates’ court can give, was mistakenly released from HMP Chelmsford a month into it, and was deported to Ethiopia after a two-day manhunt. His charge sheet reads back the poster’s prohibition list almost line by line.
The booklet’s Sex and Consent section states that anyone under 16 is a child and cannot legally agree to sex, and that there are no exceptions to this rule.
2. This month, at Nottingham Crown Court, Abdul Khan was sentenced to nine years and six months for two counts of rape of a 13-year-old girl, sexual activity with a child, sexual communication with a child, meeting a child following grooming and perverting the course of justice.

Khan arrived in the back of a lorry in 2015 and gave a date of birth of 26 December 2004 in his asylum application. He was already serving 23 months for sexual communication with another child.
3. On 27 March 2026, at Warwick Crown Court, Ahmad Mulakhil was sentenced to 15 years with a further year on licence for the abduction, rape and sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton. A jury convicted him of child abduction, rape, two counts of sexual assault and taking an indecent video of his victim, and cleared him of a second count of rape. He had admitted a further rape charge before trial.

He arrived by small boat four months before the attack. His victim said he laughed while attacking her. His co-defendant, Mohammad Kabir, was acquitted of all charges, and no finding stands against him.
4. At the same court, on 8 December 2025, two 17-year-old Afghan asylum seekers, Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal, were detained for ten years and eight months and nine years and ten months respectively for having admitted the rape of a 15-year-old girl in Leamington Spa. They were named after the judge lifted a reporting restriction.

Those cases collide with the government’s premise. The booklet exists, we are told, because convicted men claimed not to understand UK law.
But Khan did not misunderstand the age of consent. He posed as a 14-year-old boy on Snapchat, because he understood exactly which age would open the door. When arrested, he did not plead confusion. He denied ever meeting the girl until DNA evidence proved he had, and picked up a conviction for perverting the course of justice on the way.
Mulakhil is the man who actually ran the defence the booklet anticipates. He told the jury he believed the girl when she said she was 19. Passing sentence, Judge Kristina Montgomery KC told him the claim was an obvious lie and that the jury’s verdict left no doubt he knew she was under 16.
A man who misunderstands the law explains himself. A man who understands it conceals himself. These are files of concealment, not misunderstanding, and the government has answered them with a leaflet about misunderstanding.
The domestic abuse and gender equality sections need no court reports at all, because the Home Office has been processing this behaviour inside its own estate for years. Since 16 July 2019, the department has maintained standing guidance for its staff titled ‘Domestic Abuse: Responding to Reports of Domestic Abuse from Asylum Seekers’.
