WATCH: Shabana Mahmood announces series of measures in light of Southport Inquiry findings
Speaking in the House of Commons this afternoon, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood outlined a string of measures the Government either has already implemented or will put in place in light of the Southport attacks.She said that "Prevent" referrals have been reviewed, thresholds tightened and a new independent Prevent Commissioner will be appointed from tomorrow.The Government is also consulting on removing children's access to social media entirely and aims to ban extreme violent content online.New knife controls have been introduced, including restrictions on online sales, a ban on ninja-style swords and zombie-style machetes and there will be mandatory Youth Offending team referrals for any child caught with a blade, she announced.Ms Mahmood confirmed a new criminal offence would be created to close a legal gap exposed by the attack, under which planning mass violence without an ideological motive currently carries no specific charge.She also sounded a warning about "rising numbers of young men whose minds are warped by time spent in isolation online", with the second part of the Southport inquiry set to examine how the state identifies and manages violence-fixated individuals.WATCH ABOVE.

Trans activists resorted to death threats at a heated Westminster protest marking one year since the UK Supreme Court’s ruling on biological sex.GB News contributor Connie Shaw witnessed chaotic scenes as rival protests over women’s rights and trans activism descended into shouting matches, aggressive confrontations and accusations of intimidation.Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that “sex” in the Equality Act refers to biological sex.Women’s rights campaigners gathered to demand Labour fully implement guidance on single-sex spaces, while trans activists staged a noisy counter-protest.Connie repeatedly attempted to interview demonstrators but claimed many activists refused to speak, and that stewards allegedly instructed protesters not to engage with the press.At one point, a protester told her to “you can **** off”, while others used drums and megaphones to drown out filming.The GB News contributor suggested the increasingly aggressive behaviour on display reflected a movement “digging its feet in” as public opinion and the law shift towards protecting women-only spaces.Demonstrators also took part in pro-Palestinian chants and carried anti-Zionist banners, prompting Connie to question what the issue had to do with trans rights.Investigating the other protest, Connie spoke to independent MP Rosie Duffield, who accused Labour ministers of being too frightened of activists to enforce the Supreme Court ruling.Among those on that march were two young girls who held a sign reading: “woman = adult human female.”WATCH THE FULL DOCUMENTARY ABOVE
Professor Glenn Diesen has warned the West is heading towards “a massive war” because leaders are “boycotting diplomacy” and escalating conflicts with Russia and Iran instead of pursuing compromise.Speaking to GB News, Diesen claimed the “unprovoked” narrative surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had been used to shut down dissent and justify endless escalation, arguing Western governments now see diplomacy itself as “appeasement”.
