Jenrick: 3% defence spend needed by end of Parliament

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick says Labour’s plan to boost defence spending isn’t believable unless action is taken now. He welcomed the government’s pledge to spend 2.5% of GDP on defence, but said it must reach 3% by the end of this Parliament, not in 2034. Jenrick criticised Chancellor Rachel Reeves, saying she has already broken key promises and questioned how the extra funding would be found. Report by Covellm.

US' 20th Reaper Fall: Houthis Turn $30 Million US Drone to Ashes; Chilling Moment the Drone Falls

US' 20th Reaper Fall: In a stunning escalation of the Yemen conflict, the Houthis have reportedly shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, marking the 20th such loss for the United States. The drone, valued at over $30 million, was torn apart mid-flight by a surface-to-air missile launched by Houthi forces during Thursday’s American airstrikes on their strongholds. Footage released by the Houthis shows the drone plummeting from the sky in flames, with locals surrounding the wreckage, chanting "Allahu Akbar." While the US has yet to confirm the loss, the strike highlights the growing sophistication of Houthi anti-air capabilities and their ongoing efforts to challenge US military dominance in the region. #Houthis #HouthisDownReaperDrone #YemenHouthis #HouthisDownAmericanMQ9ReaperDrone #HouthiRebels #HouthiShotDownMQ9ReaperDrone #Houthi #MQ9ReaperDrone #HouthiDownMQ9ReaperDrone #MQ9Reaper #HouthisYemen #HouthisDroneAttack #HowHouthisDownedMQ9Reaper #MQ9ReaperDrone #HouthiDownMQ9ReaperDrone #HouthisAttackUSDrone ~HT.178~PR.152~

Who Is Geert Wilders? From ‘Moroccan Scum’ to ‘Ban the Quran’; Man Behind Europe’s Anti-Islam Agenda

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has long been one of Europe’s most polarizing figures.

Why does he command such influence — and fear — in the Netherlands and beyond? This video unpacks Wilders’ rise, his inflammatory speeches, the fallout from his policies, and how he just triggered a political earthquake in Dutch politics. #GeertWilders #IslamDebate #DutchPolitics #FarRightEurope #GeertWildersSpeech #AntiIslam #PVV #NetherlandsPolitics #WildersControversy #BanTheQuran #EuropeanElections #ImmigrationDebate #WildersVsIslam #DutchElections #IslamInEurope Also Read Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc Saddam Becomes Shivshankar: Muslim Man Converts To Hinduism To Marry Girlfriend Of 10 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/saddam-becomes-shivshankar-muslim-man-converts-to-hinduism-to-marry-girlfriend-of-10-years-4047465.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~GR.125~

Jailed for violating an injunction linked to a libel case involving Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi, Robinson faced penalties for promoting a banned film repeating defamatory claims. Despite promising future compliance, Robinson criticized the government in a viral post and thanked Elon Musk for support.

Rotherham Elects British-Pakistani Mayor even as Grooming gangs scandal still haunts town

Rotherham, a UK town infamous for the grooming gang scandal involving predominantly British-Pakistani men, has appointed Rukhsana Ismail—a British-Pakistani woman—as mayor. Though chosen by council members, not public vote, the move sparked backlash online. Critics argue it's insensitive to victims, calling it a "cruel twist" and accusing the UK of cultural erasure. Others defend Ismail’s appointment as merit-based and unrelated to past crimes. The controversy reignites debates around identity, justice, and Islamophobia in a deeply fractured political climate. #Rotherham #RukhsanaIsmail #UKPolitics #GroomingGangs #Islamophobia #ChildExploitation #BritishPakistani #RotherhamMayor #CulturalDebate #VictimsJustice #OnlineBacklash #EthnicRepresentation #UKNews #IdentityPolitics #ControversialAppointment #RotherhamScandal #SocialMediaDebate #PoliticalControversy #UnityOrDivision #BritishIdentity #MayorDebate #ScandalLegacy #MulticulturalUK #UKRacism #SexualExploitation #PublicOutcry #PoliticalRepresentation ~HT.318~
