A Republican US congressman from Ohio has called for federal disaster relief to be withheld from California unless the state reforms its forestry management practices that some blame for the rapid spread of wind-fanned fires that broke on Tuesday.

Warren Davidson’s remarks to Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo on Friday came as California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, urged officials to avoid politicizing the response to the blazes which had killed people and destroyed thousands of homes.

Davidson’s comments came in the context of a spending bill that Congress would need to pass before March to prevent a government shutdown would include disaster relief for California.


Davidson pointed to the American Relief Act, 2025– passed in December – that contributed $110bn to disaster relief for areas affected by Hurricanes Milton and Helene, including North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Other disaster-affected areas were also included.…..

 
Mo Ramzan is sitting in his living room in Barrow-in-Furness, desperately trying to prove his innocence.

Six days ago he was a local ice-cream-truck owner, content with family life. Then he was wrongly named as the leader of a Pakistani sex-grooming gang.

Opposite Mo, perched on a maroon red sofa, is Tommy Robinson, the white nationalist, anti-Islam activist and co-founder of the English Defence League (EDL) – the only man Mo thinks can help him to clear his name.

Less than a week before their conversation, Mo’s life was turned on its head by a single Facebook post that spawned a national outcry.

On 20 May 2020, a fragile young woman called Eleanor Williams took to social media to share a long, graphic post detailing her horrific experiences at the hands of “men from takeaways ... Mostly Pakistani men” – who she alleged were involved in a sex-grooming operation in the small Cumbrian town.

Williams recounted how she had been continually raped, stripped and beaten, burned, and even had her finger cut off by her perpetrators.

The post, which showed the then 20-year-old black-eyed, slashed and bruised, was shared more than 100,000 times; within days, people in Barrow had taken to the streets, calling for justice.

More than £22,000 was raised in a crowdfunder to support a private prosecution of her attackers. Her story provoked reactions as far afield as America and Australia, while here in the UK, it quickly stoked and ignited already simmering racial tensions.

Asian men in the vastly white town were vilified, their businesses smeared and attacked. One restaurant owner received phone calls in which he was told his wife would be raped in front of his two young children.

Ramzan, an ice-cream-van owner, was named and singled out as the grooming gangmaster, alleged to have passed Williams around groups of men at sex parties so that they could rape and abuse her.

As his name spread across the town – and the rest of the UK – he and his family were also threatened with extreme violence: they expected their house to be petrol-bombed at any given moment.

The locals had made up their minds: this was a tale of good against evil. Williams’s supporters were on the side of righteousness, sticking up for an innocent and vulnerable girl who had been subjected to horrific abuse. They had heard of predatory gangs before. They were outraged that such heinous attacks had visited their town, and that “one of their girls” had fallen victim to them.

Except in this case, none of the claims were true. As the town would soon discover, Williams’s injuries were all self-inflicted; often she hit herself with a hammer to make her eye swell and draw blood from her own flesh. She hacked at her own fingers, her arms and legs, to present “evidence” of her abuse. The entire case was a shocking sham.

Williams was arrested and, following a trial in 2022, was found guilty of nine counts of perverting the course of justice. She was jailed for eight and a half years but, under Labour’s early release programme, she walked free after serving just two years.……




 
On 7 January, Republican Wyoming state representative Jeremy Haroldson stood on checkerboard tiles at the heart of the state capitol rotunda and outlined the ascendant Freedom caucus’s vision for a new Wyoming.

“This nation was founded on godly principles,” said Haroldson, who is also a pastor. “And those are the principles that we will continue to govern upon.”

Wyoming’s 2025 legislative session, which starts on Tuesday, will be the first time a Freedom caucus, known for its hardline conservative stances in Washington, has taken control of any US state house, although the National Freedom Caucus Network has a growing footprint in a dozen state capitols.

The future unveiled by Haroldson and other members elaborated on the Freedom caucus’s “Five and Dime” plan, a culture-war heavy legislative package designed to show that a group of self-branded conservative outsiders can handle being in the driver’s seat.

The package aims to “stop the Woke agenda” at the University of Wyoming by prohibiting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, cutting residential property taxes, invalidating drivers’ licenses issued to undocumented immigrants by other states, enacting stricter proof of residency and citizenship for prospective voters, and prohibiting “woke investment strategies” with state funds.……..
