MP criticises Reform UK over 'disrespectful' posts
Ivan Dabbs, who won his council seat as his party took control of West Northamptonshire Council at this month's local elections, made comments on the King and monarchy in his feed which also has several reposts from Britain First.
Mike Reader MP said someone who "calls His Majesty a 'bullsh*t king' should not have the privilege of representing our community".
Dabbs confirmed the account was his, but neither he nor his party has commented further.
Reader said: "Mr Dabbs has repeatedly disrespected the King, our monarchy, and country.
"The residents of Northamptonshire deserve better."
According to his account Mr Dabbs, who represents the Deanshanger and Paulsbury ward, joined X in December 2024 and he last commented on it in May.
Britain First campaigns on an anti-immigration message and has called for a halt to all further immigration except in specific cases.
The group has developed a strong online following, attracting attention when one of its anti-Islamic videos was retweeted by US President Donald Trump.
Dr Simon Weaver, reader in media and communications at Brunel University in west London, said: "Britain First are a British far-right, neo-fascist party that was formed in 2011 by a former British National Party (BNP) member.
"They propagate an anti-Muslin, Islamophobic ideology and make wide use of online communication."
The BBC has approached Ivan Dabbs and Reform UK but neither wanted to comment.
Last year, party leader Nigel Farage told the BBC it would be vetting Reform UK hopefuls standing in May's local elections after controversial comments were made by a candidate for Bexhill and Battle during the 2024 general election.
Last month Ron Firman, a Reform UK candidate for West Northamptonshire Council, was reminded of the code of conduct for the parish council he was on after offensive sexist and racist tweets on his old social media account emerged.
Firman was elected to the Hunsbury Ward.
The council's constitution includes a members' code of conduct which states it is intended to promote high standards of behaviour among councillors including an obligation to "treat others with respect".

Trump administration cuts $300M in UCLA research funding over antisemitism claims
The Trump administration has suspended more than $300 million in federal research grants to UCLA, citing the university's alleged failure to address antisemitism and discriminatory practices on campus. The move, part of a broader crackdown on elite universities, marks the most severe funding cut in UCLA's history. According to government letters obtained by multiple news outlets, agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and Department of Energy are halting hundreds of active grants. Officials allege the university engaged in 'race discrimination' and 'illegal affirmative action,' and failed to prevent a hostile climate for Jewish and Israeli students, following campus protests over the Gaza war. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday that UCLA would 'pay a heavy price' for its 'deliberate indifference' to civil rights complaints. A 10-page letter Tuesday from the Department of Justice to UC President Michael Drake said the DOJ had looked into complaints of discrimination since Oct. 7, 2023, the day Hamas attacked Israel, leading to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which sparked protests at college campuses across the U.S. The letter cited 11 complaints from Jewish or Israeli students regarding discrimination between April 25 and May 1, 2024, while pro-Palestianian protesters occupied an encampment on the UCLA campus. 'Several complainants reported that members of the encampment prevented them from accessing parts of the campus,' the letter said, and some reported encountering intimidation or violence. The Department of Justice set a Sept. 2 deadline for the university to begin negotiations or face legal action. 'Federal research grants are not handouts,' he wrote Thursday. 'Grants lead to medical breakthroughs, economic advancement, improved national security and global competitiveness — these are national priorities.' The freeze affects more than 300 grants, with nearly $180 million already distributed, and follows similar enforcement actions against Harvard, Columbia and Brown universities. UCLA recently agreed to a $6.5 million settlement with Jewish students and a professor over claims of discrimination during 2024 campus protests. Frenk, who is of Jewish heritage, emphasized the university's efforts to combat antisemitism, including the creation of a campus safety office and an initiative to fight antisemitism and anti-Israel bias. 'Antisemitism has no place on our campus, nor does any form of discrimination,' he wrote, while insisting the funding cut 'does nothing to address any alleged discrimination.'

Trump still blames Hamas for crisis in Gaza but has ‘new concerns'
A White House official, granted anonymity to speak candidly about the president's thinking, asserted that Trump 'hasn't changed his fundamental belief' that Hamas is 'largely' to blame for the protracted conflict. Still, referring to Trump's own comments in recent days, the official acknowledged 'some new concerns.' Those concerns, spurred by photos and accounts of starving children, are echoed within MAGA circles and the broader public. A Gallup poll this week showed that American support for Israel's military action has dropped to 32 percent, a new low. Trump 'calibrates his interactions based on what the issues are. And sometimes people make the mistake of not just listening to the president,' said a senior White House official granted anonymity to discuss the president's thinking. 'He's just straightforward on this stuff. … Like, what's going on with Gaza and Israel. He wants to settle it. Yes, you can't negotiate with Hamas. But, like, he doesn't want kids to starve. He doesn't want that to happen. It's just, that's it. You know, there's not more to it than that.' That doesn't mean Trump is ready to embrace some foreign allies' call to recognize Palestinian statehood — although his opposition may not be quite as firm as it was a couple months ago. Trump earlier this summer privately urged French President Emmanuel Macron against recognizing a Palestinian state, according to two people familiar with the conversation, who were granted anonymity to share closely held details. The call, which has not been previously reported, did not produce the intended result and Macron announced his intention to recognize a Palestinian state last week. But when Trump was asked about it while traveling in Scotland last weekend, he was nonchalant about Macron going ahead with something he'd worked privately to forestall. 'What he says doesn't matter,' the president said. During a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday, Trump seemed almost agnostic about Palestinian statehood, leaving his counterpart space to fall in line behind Macron.

Extortion, yoga, moldy food: Inside Ghislaine Maxwell's life behind bars in Tallahassee
Although the meeting with the Department of Justice isn't occurring there, eyes are turning to the state capital's federal women's prison that houses Ghislaine Maxwell, former girlfriend to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and herself a convicted sex trafficker. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is meeting with Maxwell at the federal courthouse in downtown Tallahassee July 24 in an effort to find any stones that might've been left unturned in the high-profile Epstein case. The DOJ is hoping to uncover names of other accomplices that were involved in the sex-trafficking scheme, and Maxwell might be investigators' best source of information. In December 2021, Maxwell, 63, was convicted of luring and grooming teenage girls to be sexually abused and exploited by Epstein — the wealthy financier who died by suicide while in custody and awaiting trial in 2019. The meeting with the DOJ was originally said to be taking place at the prison, but instead Maxwell spent a day beyond the steel bars she's now been living behind. Maxwell has been in Tallahassee for three years The disgraced British socialite was transferred to Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee in 2022; Florida was a state where some of the crimes for which she was convicted occurred. For three years, Maxwell worked to entice young girls to visit Epstein's Palm Beach residence, "to engage in sex acts with Epstein, after which Epstein, Maxwell, or another employee of Epstein's would give the victims hundreds of dollars in cash," as previously reported. FCI Tallahassee, at 501 Capital Circle N.E., is a low-security federal correctional institution for women with a men's detention center. It houses over 1,200 altogether, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons database. Just last year, Maxwell was moved to the prison's "honor dorm" for being on her best behavior. The cushier living quarters are reserved for 30 to 40 of the best-behaved inmates, and because there are so few occupants, she is almost guaranteed her own room with more storage. Maxwell spends her time behind bars teaching etiquette, yoga Inmates housed inside the federal institution have access to a variety of "leisure time activities" and classes. People can participate in everything from yoga, Pilates, "arts and crafts programs to intramural team sports such as softball, basketball, and volleyball," according to FCI Tallahassee's handbook. In 2023, Maxwell reportedly started teaching an etiquette class, according to The Daily Mail. She also taught a yoga class and held a position at the prison library. Apprenticeship programs in cooking, painting, woodworking among others are also offered at the prison. Extortion attempt leaves Maxwell fearing for safety in prison Two years ago, Maxwell ran into issues with two women known within the prison walls as "Las Cubanas." Maxwell is a vegan and arranged for a kitchen worker to sneak her extra fruit, vegetables and tofu in exchange for items she bought with her commissary orders, as previously reported by The Daily Mail. The violent inmates found out and threatened to tattle unless Maxwell spent her entire commissary limit on items for them. The convicted sex trafficker reported the duo for trying to extort her, landing them 47 days in solitary confinement. But when they were released back into the prison's general population, fears of retaliation rose, leading Maxwell to refuse using the shower stalls and to be assigned a guard to escort her to and from her prison library job. In response to the threat, the pair was moved to a different unit, but a source told the Daily Mail the two have a reputation within the prison's walls for being mean and holding a grudge. Inspector General report details horrific conditions inside women's prison The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General conducted an "unannounced inspection" this May 2022 and released the full 50-page report later in the fall. Inspectors were met with "alarming" conditions, including inmates being served moldy or rotten food and living with "black substances" on walls and ceilings, as previously reported. Food was found to pose an immediate risk to inmates' health, as rotten food was consistently served and stored in areas with rat droppings and insect infestation. In a survey, more than half of inmates noted that they are frequently served outdated food. The prison dorms weren't any more desirable with "black substances" growing and collecting in various areas feminine products being used in places to soak up water from cracks and leaks consistently found throughout the living spaces. "According to inmates, in advance of a BOP correctional audit performed just prior to our unannounced visit, staff had painted over the housing unit ceilings that contained the black substance," the report said.
