‘Something Serious Afoot’: US Judge’s ‘Suspicious’ Prince Harry Visa Ruling Triggers Backlash

by Joe Saunders, The Western Journal Sep. 26, 2024

The conservative Heritage Foundation isn’t giving up on its battle to learn whether the U.K.’s Prince Harry got preferential treatment when being approved for a visa to live in the United States.

The group is considering an appeal of a judge’s ruling Monday that the Duke of Sussex, who has made millions publishing a memoir about the most intimate details of his life, can keep his visa application under wraps because of his right to “privacy.”

“The Prince Harry scandal just got a lot more suspicious,” Mike Howell, executive director of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, said in a statement published to the social media platform X.

— Oversight Project (@OversightPR) September 24, 2024

Howell cited parts of U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols’ ruling that redacted crucial details of Harry’s visa application as grounds to suspect the prince got preferential treatment from the U.S. government.

Nichols was appointed in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.

His ruling has sparked a backlash from Heritage that shows the public battle isn’t disappearing any time soon.

“While our case is far from over as we explore appeal, I’d say that these very curious redactions point to something serious afoot,” Howell’s statement said.

Harry and his wife, the former actress Meghan Markle, moved to the U.S. in 2020 after stepping back from being active members of Britain’s royal family — and amid a rancorous relationship with that royal family that apparently hasn’t gotten any better.

It isn’t clear what kind of visa Harry obtained from the U.S. government, according to The Washington Post. His wife is an American citizen.

The Heritage Foundation sued the Department of Homeland Security in 2023 to make public details of Harry’s visa application.

In the lawsuit, the group contended that disclosures about drug use Harry made in his bestselling memoir “Spare” could have made him ineligible for legal residency in the U.S.

It also contended Harry has waived any rights to “privacy” by his own very public actions.

“To be sure, even public figures have privacy interests,” the lawsuit stated. “This is particularly so as regards the aspects of their life that are not implicated by their public status and which they take steps to separate from their public life and keep confidential.

“The Duke of Sussex, however, has made the affirmative choice to put almost every aspect of his life on display — including those aspects traditionally kept private by public figures. In so doing, he has publicized not only his own most personal and private moments, but also those of HM the King, HRH The Prince and Princess of Wales, and the late HM the Queen. Moreover, these revelations have been made explicitly for massive commercial gain.” (Italics in the original.)

The lawsuit is an attempt “to force the Biden administration to publish his application to determine whether Harry lied or was granted preferential treatment because of his royal status,” Newsweek magazine’s chief royal correspondent Jack Royston wrote.

In his statement, Howell said it was a simple matter of fairness.

“Americans deserve an immigration system with both secure borders and also fairly applied rules for high-profile immigrants like Harry,” the statement said.

“It certainly appears that Harry was given special treatment and now we know it’s for something so serious that it involves extensive redactions.”

In one curious passage cited by the Oversight Project, Nichols’ ruling stated:

“In particular, the summary judgment record reflects that the Duke has never disclosed publicly (among other things) the following facts,” with the “facts” blacked out.

The next legible sentence stated: “That is the ‘type of information that a person would ordinarily not wish to make known about himself’ and therefore the government has demonstrated that the Duke retains a privacy interest in these records.”

UK Says Goodbye To Coal

Via OilPrice.com, Friday, Sep 27, 2024

The closure of Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station marks the end of coal-fired electricity generation in the UK.

This shift is part of the UK's commitment to achieving net zero emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.

The UK is the first G7 country to phase out coal entirely, demonstrating a significant step towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

The UK’s last remaining coal-fired power station is to shut at the end of September, drawing to a close Britain’s 142-year reliance on the fossil fuel to produce electricity.

Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station has been generating electricity since 1968 via its four coal-fired boilers, eight vast cooling towers and 199-metre tall chimney, which occupies a prominent spot in the East Midlands skyline.

It is able to power about two million homes and has been the last station of its kind in the UK since September 2023, when Northern Ireland’s Kilroot power station stopped producing electricity from coal.

On September 30, Ratcliffe will close for the final time. Many of the 170 people employed by the plant’s owner, Uniper, will stay on to help with the two-year decommissioning process.

Ratcliffe’s closure puts a full stop on the country’s use of coal for electricity, which began with the Holborn Viaduct power station in London in 1882, the first of its type in the world.

Coal went on to play a major role in the national energy supply throughout the 20th century and accounted for about 80 per cent of UK power in 1990, falling to 39 per cent in 2012.

Since then, 15 coal power plants closed or switched fuels and last year the fossil fuel made up just one per cent of the UK’s supply, according to data from National Grid’s Electricity System Operator.

Meanwhile, renewables, mainly wind and solar power, now make up more than half of the mix, according to Government statistics. Gas has also played a part in the switch, rising from 28 per cent of the power mix in 2012 to 34 per cent last year.

Dhara Vyas, deputy chief executive of Energy UK, said:

“Ten years ago, coal was the leading source of this country’s power – generating a third of our electricity.

“So, to get to this point just a decade later, with coal’s contribution replaced by clean and low carbon sources, is an incredible achievement.

“As we aim for further ambitious targets in the energy transition, it’s worth remembering that few back then thought such a change at such a pace was possible.”

While the likes of Sweden and Belgium were among the first in Europe to phase out coal entirely, the UK will be the first country in the G7 bloc of major world economies to reach the milestone.

France, by comparison, has given itself until 2027 to complete the phase-out, Canada will follow suit until 2030. Germany, on current plans, will not do it until 2038.

But next comes the far larger task of significantly reducing the use of gas and further ramping up renewables, as the newly-elected Labour Government seeks to hit net zero emissions from electricity generation by 2030.

Its first steps were to set up a new state-owned energy investment company, GB Energy, and to lift a de facto ban on new onshore wind projects in the planning system in England.

The Government also handed out contracts for a new wave of green power projects in early September, including onshore and offshore wind and solar farms, which officials said will generate enough power for 11 million homes, in its annual auction.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said recently that switching to clean power is not just about fighting climate change, but energy security, after rocketing gas prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused consumer bills to spiral in 2022 and 2023.

Jess Ralston, head of energy at the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit, said the swift transition from coal to renewables “shows how possible it is to make the net zero electricity transition”.

Naomi Campbell Disqualified From Being a Charity Trustee in England for Five Years – Charity Money Spent in Luxury Hotels, Spa Treatments, Room Service and Even Cigarettes

by Paul Serran Sep. 27, 2024

Controversial former British supermodel Naomi Campbell is now barred from being a charity trustee in England and Wales for five years after a three-year investigation by the UK’s Charity Commission.

This comes after the two decades-old poverty charity was deemed yesterday (26) to have been ‘poorly governed’ with ‘inadequate financial management’.

The Charity Commission investigation into the financial activities of ‘Fashion for Relief’ found ‘multiple instances of misconduct and/or mismanagement’, and discovered that that only 8.5% of the charity’s overall expenditure went on charitable grants in a six-year period from 2016.

Associated Press reported:

“For example, it said that thousands of pounds worth of charity funds were used to pay for a luxury hotel stay in Cannes, France, for Campbell as well as spa treatments, room service and even cigarettes. The regulator sought explanations from the trustees but said no evidence was provided to back up their explanation that hotel costs were typically covered by a donor to the charity, therefore not costing the charity.”

Campbell has stated she is ‘extremely concerned’ by the findings of the regulator, and that an internal investigation was underway.

“’I was not in control of my charity, I put the control in the hands of a legal employer’, she said in response to a question from the AP after being named a knight in France’s Order of Arts and Letters at the country’s culture ministry for her contribution to French culture. ‘We are investigating to find out what and how, and everything I do and every penny I ever raised goes to charity’.”

The UK’s Charity Commission registers and regulates charitable entities in England and Wales.

It also found that fellow trustee Bianka Hellmich received around 290,000 pounds ($385,000) of unauthorized funds for consultancy services which was in breach of the charity’s constitution.

Hellmich has been disqualified as a trustee for nine years, while the other trustee, Veronica Chou, was barred for four years.

“’Trustees are legally required to make decisions that are in their charity’s best interests and to comply with their legal duties and responsibilities’, said Tim Hopkins, deputy director for specialist investigations and standards. ‘Our inquiry has found that the trustees of this charity failed to do so, which has resulted in our action to disqualify them’.

The charity, which was founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, was dissolved and removed from the register of charities earlier this year. On its website, which is still active, the charity said that it presented fashion initiatives and projects in New York, London, Cannes, Moscow, Mumbai and Dar es Salaam, raising more than $15 million for good causes around the world.”

Campbell’s charity was set up with the aim of uniting the fashion industry to relieve poverty and advance health and education.

The UK’s Charity commission said that around $460,000 has been recovered and that a further 98,000 pounds of charitable funds have been protected.

British Government Warns Of Weak Military - Says Civilians Must Be 'Ready To Fight'

by Tyler Durden Saturday, Sep 28, 2024

The British House of Lords has published a report claiming that military recruitment is dangerously low and the country's combat readiness is at risk. They say the civilian population 'must be ready to fight' (a clear reference to military conscription) should war with Russia be triggered.

The paper, titled 'Ukraine: A Wake-Up Call', admits to weaknesses in NATO's assumptions on "deterrence", though it seems to pretend as if Ukraine is part of NATO when it's not. Chaired by Lord de Mauley, the committee launched the inquiry in February 2024, two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the goal of assessing the conflict’s implications for UK defence policy.

"…We identified two key lessons. First, our deterrence strategy towards Russia clearly failed. If we are to restore the credibility of NATO’s nuclear and conventional deterrence posture towards Putin, we must develop a clearer understanding of the reasons for this failure."

"Secondly, the invasion exposed significant weaknesses in both the UK’s and NATO’s military strength, and the UK's ability to sustain large-scale warfare. Successive governments have attempted to maintain the notion of the UK as a global power, but the war in Ukraine has been a wake-up call, laying bare the gap between that ambition and reality."

It should be noted that February was near the beginning of Russia's attrition based offensive that is poised to take control of the entire Donbas region of Ukraine. This was well after Ukraine's much hyped "counter-offensive" which ended with an embarrassing whimper.

The report paints a concerning picture of the British Army’s ability to contribute adequately to NATO’s deterrence strategy. It states:

“All in all, the evidence we heard points to the current size of the British Army being inadequate. While size is not the only measure of capability, we are concerned that the Army cannot, as currently constituted, make the expected troop contribution to NATO. We therefore question whether the British Army is prepared to meet the growing threat posed by Russia to European security.”

The current size of the British Army is 75,166 regular troops and 183,000 personnel across all branches. Keep in mind only 80,000 of these personnel would play a front line combat role. If the casualty numbers coming out of Ukraine are anywhere close to accurate this would not be enough troops to sustain a single year of combat in an attrition based war.

The House of Lords called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to develop a plan that “resonates with citizens, emphasizing the importance of national security in their daily lives and moving beyond the notion that defense is solely the military’s responsibility”.

The paper also warned that while there was a risk that conversations around civilians “could end up veering into discussions around conscription”, the government had “an opportunity to broaden this out and consider how it could incorporate the whole of society in building resilience”.

The real question is, why would the British public fight for the current government? Military recruitment relies heavily on true patriots and a sense of national identity, but Keir Starmer and government overall has made it quite clear that they intend to erase indigenous Anglo-Saxon British identity through forced mass immigration from third-world countries. Starmer has even gone so far as to arrest British citizens simply for posting critical opinions on social media.

The House of Lords acts bewildered as to why the civilian population has little interest in military readiness. Maybe it's because the British government has gone full Orwellian? The average westerner is not going to go to war to risk their lives for a system that oppresses them. This is why recruitment is at all time lows and why conscription would be useless.

Another factor which likely plays a considerable part in public apprehension is the threat of WWIII. The majority of people in the west have little enthusiasm over engaging in a war that could very well lead to a global nuclear exchange, especially over a country like Ukraine which, for them, is insignificant. There is nothing to be gained.

King Charles's six-word statement that could cost Britain £200 BILLION during Australia tour

By Douglas Dickie 14 OCT 2024

The monarch has previously spoken of the evils of slavery and that could give Caribbean nations a foothold in claims for reparations from the UK

A six-word statement made by King Charles two years ago could end up costing the UK £200 billion this month as he heads off for a trip to Australia. The monarch will spend 11 days Down Under and has even paused his cancer treatment to ensure his full focus is on his duties.

But he is expected to face demands that the UK pay the monumental sum in compensation to some Commonwealth nations for its role in the Transatlantic slave trade. And they will likely point to previous statements made by Charles on the subject.

The King will attend a Commonwealth summit alongside Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in Samoa during the trip to Australia. Fifteen Caribbean governments want to put slavery reperations on the table, with Barbados, which ditched the Queen as head of state in 2021, leading the calls.

The island nation's Prime Minister Mia Mottley will likely point to comments made by Charles in 2022, just weeks before he ascended to the throne. In particular, she was impressed with his statement that slavery is "a conversation whose time has come," according to reports in the Daily Mail.

In a hugely significant speech, given on behalf of the late Queen Elizabeth, Charles said he was trying to "deepen my own understanding of slavery's enduring impact", adding: "I cannot describe the depths of my personal sorrow at the suffering of so many."

He has continued to comment on the issue and in April 2023 backed research into his own family's links with slavery. The meeting will take place amid an increase in republican sentiment in the Caribbean.

The £200 billion figure on the table may be just the start with some suggesting Britain should fork out an astonishing £19 trillion. It is estimated the UK transported over three million slaves from Africa to the Americas and by the start of the 18th century, the UK was the biggest trader of slaves in the world. The trading of slaves was outlawed in 1807 while the practice was scrapped in the colonies in 1833.

UK Snubs Council Of Europe Over Assange Inquiry

by Tyler Durden Sunday, Oct 27, 2024

Britain’s Home Office is making a "grave mistake" by ignoring a call from the Council of Europe to review its treatment of Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder’s wife has warned. The council’s parliamentary assembly, of which the UK is a member, passed a resolution earlier this month designating Assange as a "political prisoner".

Assange endured five years in Belmarsh maximum security prison in London before being released in June, and flying to his native Australia. The UK government had incarcerated him while the U.S. pursued extradition proceedings in the British courts.

His treatment has outraged the Council of Europe, which was created in the aftermath of World War II with strong backing from Winston Churchill.

Its resolution urged the U.K. authorities to conduct a review “with a view to establishing whether he [Assange] has been exposed to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, pursuant to their international obligations”.

It found the U.K. authorities

“failed to effectively protect Mr Assange’s freedom of expression and right to liberty, exposing him to lengthy detention in a high-security prison despite the political nature of the most severe charges against him.”

Declassified asked Britain’s Home Office what its response was to the Council of Europe’s call. The government department deflected the question, replying: “The longstanding extradition request for Julian Assange has been resolved. As is standard practice, all extradition requests are considered on an individual basis by our independent courts and in accordance with U.K. law.”

The demands of the parliamentary assembly are not binding on European governments but they are “obliged to respond”.

‘Cover-Up’

Stella Assange, Julian’s wife, told Declassified the Home Office is making a “grave mistake” in refusing to heed the Council of Europe’s call. She said:

“We know that the Crown Prosecution Service has disappeared key documents relating to Julian’s imprisonment and refused to provide information, first to a journalist, and now to the court, that might shed a light on the political side of Julian’s persecution in the U.K..

“It is one thing for rogue elements in the CPS to collude with foreign governments to persecute a publisher and attempt to cover their tracks. It is quite another for the U.K. government to stonewall in this manner in the wake of an independent report by the Council of Europe and a vote by the overwhelming majority of the chamber calling on the U.K. to carry out an investigation.”

She added:

“The U.K. government is effectively partaking in the cover-up, in a way that only a guilty party would.”

‘Psychological Torture’

Assange’s detention in maximum security Belmarsh was “out of proportion in relation to his alleged offence”, the Council of Europe’s resolution found.

It recalled the findings of the then United Nations special rapporteur on torture, Nils Melzer, that Assange had been exposed to “progressively severe forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the cumulative effects of which can only be described as psychological torture”.

Melzer’s report, produced in 2019 while Assange had secured asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, called on U.K. officials to be investigated for possible “criminal conduct” in their treatment of Assange. It was never reported in the U.K. national media.

The Council of Europe found that the U.K. authorities “appear to have ignored” Melzer’s findings. Its resolution was passed with 88 in favour, 13 against and 20 abstentions. All four U.K. members of the parliamentary assembly voted against, including Lord Richard Keen, a Conservative peer, who expressed a dissenting opinion.

‘Chilling Effect’

The Council of Europe concluded that the treatment of Assange “creates a dangerous chilling effect and a climate of self-censorship affecting all journalists, publishers and others reporting matters essential for the functioning of a democratic society”.

It added: “It severely undermines the role of the press and the protection of journalists and whistle-blowers around the world.”

The resolution also noted that the Council was “alarmed” by reports that the US Central Intelligence Agency had covertly surveyed Assange while he was in the Ecuadorian embassy in London and was allegedly developing plans to poison or even assassinate him on U.K. soil.

Rebecca Vincent, campaigns director at Reporters Without Borders, told us that Julian Assange’s sentencing by U.K. courts to 50 weeks in prison for breaking bail was “disproportionate”.

She added: “His subsequent prolonged detention in a high-security prison with no charges against him in the U.K., held purely on remand, constituted a gross violation of his rights.”

Suspect in UK Mass Stabbing that Killed Three Young Girls Faces Additional Terrorism and Biological Weapon Offenses

by Margaret Flavin Oct. 29, 2024

In July, The Gateway Pundit reported on the horrifying knife attack in Southport in the northwest of England that left three young children dead, five others in critical condition, and two adults wounded.

The murdered children were nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar, six-year-old Bebe King, and seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe.

According to AP, a witness described seeing bloodied children running from a community center where a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga event for children aged about 6 to 11 was taking place.

Emergency services responded to the scene, and police reported that they had detained a 17-year-old male suspect and seized the weapon.

Following the attack, protestors took to the streets in 35 towns and cities across the Kingdom. They were branded “thugs” that were “clearly driven by far-right hatred” by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who then began a crackdown on free speech in the country.

Now it has been revealed the stabbing suspect, Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, allegedly has terrorist ties.

The National Report reveals that Rudakubana has been charged with terror offenses and authorities allege he downloaded an al-Qaeda instruction manual.

The National Report:

Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, a migration-background teenager suspected of stabbing three young girls aged just six, seven, and nine to death and injuring several others, has been revealed to have ties to radical Islamic extremism. He not only possessed jihadist terrorisminstructions but also tried to procure the deadly nerve agent ricin.

While poison and the manual were found in his home, police have only released the information now, three months after the stabbing attack took place in late July.

The Southport attacker has now been charged with Terrorism offences. Perhaps I was right all along. pic.twitter.com/WxYO5jPzeu

— Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) October 29, 2024

Chief Constable Serena Kennedy made the following statement, “Today, the Crown Prosecution Service has authorized Axel Rudakubana, aged 18, from Banks in Lancashire, to be charged with two further offenses.”

“Axel Rudakubana already faces three charges of murder, 10 charges of attempted murder, and one charge of possession of a knife – all relating to the incident at Hart Street, Southport, on 29 July 2024.

“The two further offenses relate to evidence obtained by Merseyside Police during searches of Axel Rudakubana’s home address, as part of the lengthy and complex investigation that followed the events of 29 July 2024.”

The additional charges include:

1. Production of a biological toxin, namely ricin, contrary to Section 1 of the Biological Weapons Act 1974.

2. Possessing information, namely a pdf file entitled “Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda.

UK's Telegraph Journalist Gets "Hate Incident" Visit From Police Over Year-Old Tweet

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news Wednesday, Nov 13, 2024

A journalist with the London Telegraph has been visited unannounced at her home by police in the UK who told her they are investigating a “non-crime hate incident” over a tweet she posted a year ago.

Allison Pearson relates what happened on Sunday in an article, noting that police will not tell her which post is the subject of the investigation, nor will they tell her who her accuser is or what they feel offended about.

I respect the police who do a v difficult job, but 2 coppers turning up at my house on Remembrance Sunday over a year-old tweet - they won’t tell me what it said - erodes public confidence.

This is a free society and law-abiding people should not be pursued for “wrong think”.… https://t.co/K6vJGZmxDA

— Allison Pearson (@AllisonPearson) November 13, 2024

The only detail given was that it is some sort of accusation of “racial hatred”.

The police also made it clear that she should refer to her accuser as a “victim”.

The Telegraph notes that Essex Police said on Tuesday night that officers had opened an investigation under section 17 of the Public Order Act 1986 relating to material allegedly “likely or intended to cause racial hatred”.

A police spokesman said “We’re investigating a report passed to us by another force. The report relates to a social media post which was subsequently removed. An investigation is now being carried out under section 17 of the Public Order Act.”

Pearson charges that the visit is “living proof of a two tier justice system,” and describes the incident as “Kafkaesque.”

Figures show that between 2014 and 2019, 34 police forces across England and Wales recorded 119,934 NCHIs.

The Free Speech Union believes this has doubled in the five years since to over 250,000—an average of 66 recorded per day.

They found that, in the year since Suella Braverman’s revised guidance, NCHIs were recorded 0.4% more—11,690, up from 11,642, in the year from June 2023 to 2024.

X owner Elon Musk commented on the incident, urging simply “this has to stop.”

In addition to this, people are being criminally targeted and even imprisoned in the UK for social media posts.

Distraught Leftists Flee Elon Musk’s X to Pro-Censorship Platform ‘Bluesky’ – Whatever Happened to Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘Twitter Killer?’

by Ben Kew Nov. 13, 2024

Leftists distraught at the results of the 2024 presidential election are fleeing the X platform in protest of Elon Musk, but they cannot seem to decide where to go instead.

According to The Guardian, which today announced that it would also be leaving X because of the “disturbing content promoted or found on the platform,” Bluesky has gained 700,000 members since Donald Trump swept to victory against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

The report states:

Social media platform Bluesky has picked up more than 700,000 new users in the week since the US election, as users seek to escape misinformation and offensive posts on X.

The influx, largely from North America and the UK, has helped Bluesky reach 14.5 million users worldwide, up from 9 million in September, the company said.

Social media researcher Axel Bruns said the platform offered an alternative to X, formerly Twitter, including a more effective system for blocking or suspending problematic accounts and policing harmful behaviour.

“It’s become a refuge for people who want to have the kind of social media experience that Twitter used to provide, but without all the far-right activism, the misinformation, the hate speech, the bots and everything else,” he said.

“The more liberal kind of Twitter community has really now escaped from there and seems to have moved en masse to Bluesky.”

Bluesky was founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey back in 2019, although it later became an independent entity. Dorsey has since left the company board and urged users to remain on X.

It claims to give people additional control over their online experience, although its real attraction for leftists is its apparent ability to “police harmful behavior.”

However, leftists are already encountering the same problems faced by conservatives before Elon Musk bought Twitter.

While there were various free speech social media platforms including Parler, Gettr and Truth Social, the market remained fragmented between them and people were unable to coalesce around one particular platform.

The rise of Bluesky will also come as a blow to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who launched Threads back in 2023 as a competitor to Twitter.

As Musk guaranteed users freedom of speech, Zuckerberg promised users the aggressive censorship and “content moderation” already implemented against Facebook and Instagram.

Many users consequently flocked there, although the platform has failed to gain any significant traction and is nothing more than a left-wing echo chamber.

Another platform frequented by those disillusioned with X is Mastodon, an open-source social network with aggressive censorship policies.

However, it appears that no single platform has yet to capture a significant market share. Given that X remains the only platform serving as a genuine public for all ideas and interests, don’t be surprised if these “disillusoned” leftists end up coming back with their tail between their legs.

UK Defence Secretary Announces Major Naval Decommissions in Sweeping Defence Overhaul

Mike Schuler November 20, 2024

UK Defence Secretary John Healey has announced the decommissioning of several naval vessels as part of a broader defence reform strategy.

The decision, revealed in a statement to the House of Commons on Wednesday, aims to streamline the Royal Navy’s fleet and redirect funds towards future technologies and personnel retention.

Among the vessels slated for retirement are HMS Northumberland, a frigate deemed “uneconomical to repair” due to structural damage. Additionally, HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark, two landing ships that have been effectively out of service but maintained at a cost of £9 million annually, will be officially removed from the naval roster.

The decommissioning extends beyond naval assets, with Healey confirming the retirement of 46 Watchkeeper Mk1 drones, 14 Chinook helicopters, two Wave Class tankers, and 17 Puma helicopters.

According to Healey, the decision is expected to generate substantial savings for the Ministry of Defence, with projections of £150 million over the next two years and up to £500 million over five years.

“For too long, our soldiers, sailors, aviators have been stuck with old, outdated equipment… because Ministers wouldn’t make the difficult decommissioning decisions,” said Healey.

He added, “As technology advances at pace, we must move faster towards the future.”

The Defence Secretary assured that all current personnel affected by these changes will be redeployed or retrained, with no redundancies planned.

The move aligns with the government’s broader strategy to invest in defence personnel, including the introduction of new retention payments for specific military roles.

Highlighting the strategic rationale behind these decisions, Healey quoted the First Sea Lord: “The threat is changing so we must have the self-confidence to make the changes required.”

The decommissioning announcement comes as part of a larger defence reform initiative, which Healey describes as “the biggest reform programme in defence for 50 years.” The overhaul includes the creation of a new Military Strategic Headquarters and the appointment of a National Armaments Director, aimed at improving efficiency and accountability within the defence sector.

As the UK navigates what Healey terms “a new era of rising global tensions,” these strategic decisions reflect a concerted effort to modernize the nation’s defence capabilities.

The government’s commitment to increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP and investing an additional £3 billion next year further underscores the significance of this reform.
