Green Party leader Zach Polanski accuses politicians and public figures of anti-Muslim rhetoric, including Elon MuskFive Muslim men have been injured in a series of attacks in Edinburgh.“Let us be clear, the virulent anti-Muslim hatred of politicians and their billionaire associate @elonmusk creates the conditions for this despicable attack,” Polanski said in a post on X.He also expressed solidarity with the victims and the Muslim community affected by the attack, writing: “Solidarity with all those affected and with the Muslim community in Edinburgh and beyond.” On June 19, a 36-year-old man was arrested in connection with a number of incidents in the Scottish capital. Police Scotland have since laid charges against the suspect and counter-terrorism officers are investigating the attack as a potential hate crime.The violence began in the Sighthill area of Edinburgh on Friday night, with two men injured and taken to hospital. The Scottish Mosque Association said the victims were leaving Broomhouse Mosque when they were attacked, The Guardian reported.Police subsequently received reports of further assaults in other areas of the city, including Telford Road and Leith Walk.

Social media videos appearing to show the incident circulated online, with one showing a shirtless man carrying a long weapon and another showing a suspect being restrained by police.Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attacks, saying the suspects appeared to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred.Starmer wrote on The X: “This is absolutely shocking. No one should face violence on our streets. I will not tolerate this behavior. He will face the full force of the law.”

Indian woman facing deportation gains New Zealand residency after husband’s previous relationship
An Indian woman has been granted residency in New Zealand after a court found her case involved special humanitarian circumstances. She is in the country illegally due to an immigration dispute stemming from her husband’s past sponsorship of two former partners.Aradhana Goswami traveled to New Zealand from India in late 2024 to marry her partner. She faced deportation after discovering her husband’s immigration history prevented her from applying for a partner visa.The IPT allowed Goswami to stay in New Zealand after finding the circumstances behind her immigration issues were unusual and her deportation would be unfair.The case centers on Goswami’s husband, who twice sponsored two former partners for New Zealand residency in 2013 and 2019. Under New Zealand immigration rules, a person who has supported two successful partner residence applications cannot sponsor another partner for residency.Despite this, Goswami obtained a visitor visa before traveling to New Zealand on November 7, 2024. She made it clear in her application that she intended to spend time with her future husband before marriage.She told immigration authorities she wanted to spend time with the “love of her life” before “making a lifelong commitment,” the New Zealand Herald reported.The couple were married 19 days after her arrival.According to the court ruling, Goswami’s husband’s sponsorship history was disclosed to Immigration New Zealand (INZ) during the visitor visa process. The tribunal said officers approved the application and recorded that “there were no concerns”.But when Goswami applied for a partner-based work visa, the application was rejected because her husband was not eligible to support it under immigration rules. Requests for reconsideration were also denied.She was later granted a temporary visa, but it expired in May 2025, leaving her in New Zealand illegally.In June 2025, Goswami appealed to the IPT on humanitarian grounds, arguing that being forced to leave would separate her from her husband and end their marriage.She told the court her husband moved to New Zealand from Fiji as a teenager, had no meaningful links to India and was unlikely to relocate because he was the primary carer for his elderly parents.Goswami also said returning to India alone would expose her to social stigma.Her representative said the couple had nothing to hide and were very transparent with immigration authorities throughout the process.“She declared her intention to marry and build a future with her partner in her visitor visa application,” they submitted.“The appellant and her husband truthfully stated their true intentions to Immigration New Zealand and declared his previous partnership.”The court recognized the authenticity of the marriage beyond any doubt. It also considered medical evidence showing Goswami suffered from emotional distress, including poor sleep quality, loss of appetite, persistent worry and dizziness.Speaking of her fears about returning to India, the decision said: “She said the emotional toll of being seen as a ‘failure’ in the eyes of society, and the overwhelming shame that would come with it, would be unbearable.”The IPT concluded that Goswami was not responsible for the circumstances leading to her deportation. It also ruled that allowing her to stay would not be contrary to the public interest.Immigration New Zealand denies it made a mistake. Immigration New Zealand visa director Chris Adamson said visitor visas and later partner visas were assessed under different rules.Adamson said: “When Ms Goswami later applied for a temporary partner-based visa, her partner was assessed under standard procedures but did not meet the requirements because he had previously supported more than one successful residence visa application.”They added: “We understand that Ms Goswami’s situation was through no fault of her own and that she may have wished to continue living in New Zealand after being granted an initial visa. However, our position is that both applications were correctly assessed in the light of the immigration circumstances at the time.”Still, the court upheld Goswami’s appeal and granted her a resident visa, ending a months-long immigration battle that threatened to separate the newlyweds.
Chopra was arrested in murder He was charged after he allegedly shot a family member at their Alton home on Tuesday, June 16, local news outlet KRGC 5 reported. His brother, who was also wounded in the shooting but survived, called police to tell them Chopra had shot the family and fled the scene.
Police pursued Chopra’s vehicle, but the pursuit ended in a crash in which his car hit two people, who were also taken to the hospital.
The three people killed in the shooting were identified as Chopra’s father Sweeta Ram (56), mother Kamlesh Rani (46) and grandmother Minder Kaur (76).
Chopra was formally charged on June 18 with multiple murders and attempted murder. Bond was not convicted of the charges. He also faces charges of evading arrest and his bail is set at $250,000, the report said.
What do the police think of the motive for the killing?
Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra said all three victims died from gunshot wounds to the head.
Police said they had not received any previous complaints from the Chopras. Chopra is a student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. The university said it is cooperating with investigators but could not provide further details about the case.
Authorities have not yet revealed a motive for the killing. Asked whether Chopra was cooperating with investigators, Guerra said the accusations made by the suspect were “inaccurate.”
Speculation over Starmer’s future intensified over the weekend after Burnham’s decisive victory in the Markfield by-election
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing growing pressure over his future after Labor rival Andy Burnham secured a seat in parliament, paving the way for a potential leadership challenge.Speculation over Starmer’s future intensified over the weekend following Burnham’s decisive victory in the Makefield by-election, with multiple media reports suggesting the Prime Minister was considering his options amid rising discontent within the ruling Labor Party.However, senior minister Peter Keir said there was no confirmation that Starmer was preparing to resign.“I can’t believe they’re real. I’ve seen a lot of speculation,” Kyle told Sky News.Keir, meanwhile, admitted Starmer was reflecting on the situation he faced.“Today, like every day that I’ve known Kyle, he’s working hard. At the same time, he’s trying to create a space where he can think and reflect on the political realities and challenges and opportunities before us,” he said.
Burnham, who has been mayor of Greater Manchester since 2017, won the seat of Makefield in northwest England on Thursday with nearly 55% of the vote.The victory allows him to return to the House of Commons and formally run for the Labor leadership if he wishes.Burnham expressed his ambition in his victory speech.“Everyone knows that politics doesn’t work. Everyone can feel that this country is not where it should be. Tonight could, just could, be a turning point,” he said, according to the Associated Press.Burnham warned Labor had a “final chance for change” and made clear his intention to seek the party leadership, AFP reported.According to Reuters, according to Labor Party rules, leadership contenders must be members of Parliament and receive the support of at least 81 Labor MPs to launch a formal challenge.
Despite the speculation, Starmer insisted he would not resign voluntarily.Starmer said on Friday that if there was a contest for the Labor leadership, “I will campaign and I will stand”.“I have said many times that I will not give up on this.”A government source quoted by Reuters also said that despite reports about the prime minister’s future, he remains focused on governing.Starmer spent the weekend with his family at Checkers, the Prime Minister’s country residence.On Sunday, he posted a Father’s Day message on X but gave no public indication of his plans.
Why is the pressure increasing?
Starmer’s position has been weakened by Labour’s poor performance in May’s local elections and falling support.The prime minister, who led Labor to a landslide victory in the July 2024 general election, has struggled to deliver promised economic growth, ease cost-of-living pressures and improve public services.Labor is also facing pressure from both sides, with some progressive voters losing ground to the Greens and supporters turning to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, which currently leads in a number of national opinion polls.Starmer’s tenure has been marked by policy U-turns, ministerial resignations and controversy, including criticism of Peter Mandelson’s appointment as Britain’s ambassador to the United States.
Potential successor emerges
Burnham is widely seen as the leading contender to succeed Starmer if he resigns. However, he may not have a domain of his own.Former health minister Wes Streeting is also considering a run for the leadership role. Former minister Jesse Phillips told the BBC that Starmer “feels like we have reached the end of the road” and any departure should be handled “with as much dignity as possible”.Starmer’s departure will make him the sixth British prime minister to step down in the past decade, and the seventh if his successor takes over this year.Burnham will be sworn in as an MP on Monday, a development seen by many Labor figures as the start of a decisive week for the party’s leadership.
partners minnesota “Squad” members who previously estimated his venture capital and wine businesses were worth up to $30 million now claim he earns just $200 a year.
The embattled socialist reported that her husband earned no income from his main business, Rose Lake Capital, last year, as reported in her recently released 2025 financial disclosure report, the New York Post reported.
Meinette, who has nearly 20 years of experience working in Washington, D.C., made a meager $200 to $1,000 last year at his now-defunct California wine business, eStCru, which offered products like “Devil’s Lies” before ceasing operations in April.
omar By 2025, their total assets are estimated to be worth between $20,000 and $125,000, while their credit card and student loan debt is between $30,000 and $100,000, resulting in a negative net worth of $80,000 to $95,000, the report said.
Although the businesses were valued at zero, Rose Lake Capital still managed to generate between $100,000 and $1 million in revenue, while the wine business generated between $2,500 and $5,000 that year, according to the revised disclosure document.
National Council spokesperson Delany Bomar told the New York Post that voters were not deceived by Ilhan’s dishonest remarks. omar.
Bomar went on to say that Omar has dedicated her entire career to covering up fraud facilitated by Democrats, adding that it cost “taxpayers billions of dollars, so it’s no surprise that she would do the same thing for her husband.”
Who is Tim Mynette? What we know about his wealth
Meinette, 44, founded Rose Lake Capital in 2022 with his longtime business partner, Democratic strategist Will Hailer.
The two first met while working for Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison during his 2012 congressional re-election campaign.
Ellison was recorded on suspicion of accepting bribes from Somali fraudsters, but he has denied this and insisted he attended the meeting in good faith. Ellison vacated his House seat in 2018 to facilitate Omar’s induction, which Heller claimed was a carefully planned strategic move.
Who is Tim Mynette?
The Democratic representative was previously married to Ahmed Hirsi, with whom he has three children. In 2019, she filed for divorce citing “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage,” TMZ reported. Five months later, she married Meinette, whose political consulting firm worked on her congressional campaign.
As his LinkedIn profile states, Mynett is a “long-time consultant to some of the most innovative political campaigns” and has “raised over $100 million” for a variety of organizations and candidates.
Additionally, he is a father and has a son with Beth Mynett, according to NBC News.
MP Rupert Lowe has defended his independent sex grooming ring investigation after facing criticism from political opponents, saying efforts to smear him would not undermine efforts to hold criminals and those holding them accountable.Following the release of the investigative report, Lowe said in a statement posted on X that the investigation will now enter a private prosecution phase aimed at bringing the alleged perpetrators and their enablers to court.Responding to criticism from the likes of Zach Polanski and former Scottish first minister Humza Youssef, Lowe accused opponents of trying to “demonize” him after the report was released.Lowe believes discussion of the issue has been suppressed for years and claims fear of being accused of racism has led to a failure to properly address the abuse of vulnerable girls in some communities.In a statement, the Great Yarmouth MP said there was a link between religion and some of the crimes examined. He specifically mentioned Islam, arguing that politicians should be willing to discuss the issue openly.“There is a clear connection between religion and these heinous crimes that have long stained our country. That religion is Islam and other politicians must finally find the courage to say so,” Lowe said.He also claimed that the abuse of vulnerable white girls by gangs involving Muslim men in Pakistan had been covered up for decades because authorities and politicians were unwilling to discuss the ethnic and religious backgrounds of some offenders.Lowe said the release of the report marked the beginning of a new phase in the campaign and insisted threats, abuse and intimidation would not deter those involved in the investigation.“Our goal is to put rapists and their accomplices behind bars. That is our goal now,” he wrote.The report is part of Lowy’s wider campaign, which is calling for greater accountability in historic grooming gang cases, greater support for victims and further action against those found to have committed or facilitated abuse.
