This horrific case is disturbing and abhorrent. One cannot imagine the pain and suffering that this young girl, along with her friends and family, have been through at the hands of this horrible monster.
The leader of Warwickshire County Council, George Finch, was among the first to sound the alarm about this despicable act in Nuneaton. At first, the police refused to disclose the immigration status of Ahmad Mulakhil for fear of inflaming “community tensions”.

Some parts of the media even described the rapist as a “local man”. I said at the time that it looked like a cover-up, and our intervention at a press conference in central London led to some important changes.
For many months now, Reform has been sounding the alarm about the link between crime (particularly the safety of women and girls) and the mass invasion of predominantly fighting-age men. These are people who hold a very different set of values to ours. Quite frankly, they come from cultures where women are not even second class citizens — as proven by the outcome of this case.
Thats why I raised an eyebrow when I heard Liverpool Council had published a so-called “myth-buster” addressing attitudes towards immigration. I say “myth-buster”, but you may as well call it taxpayer-funded propaganda. In that document, this Labour-run council claimed there was “no causal link between asylum seeker populations and increased levels of violence against women and girls”.
Quite frankly, after this monster was convicted and sentenced to 16 years, Labour should hang its head in shame. That document should be taken down and an apology should be made immediately.
Speaking of shame, let’s talk about Keir Starmer. He came to power promising to smash the gangs, but the only thing he has smashed is illegal immigration records. More small-boat migrants have now come to Britain under Starmer than under any other Prime Minister. That is around 70,000 people. And frankly, for all we know, every single one of them could turn out to be another Ahmad Mulakhil from Afghanistan.
Earlier this week at Prime Minister’s Questions, I asked Starmer what his Plan B was to stop the boats after his Plan A had failed so badly. Like so very often in the chamber, he refused to even answer the question. My Reform colleagues and I walked out in disgust.
Without question or hesitation, this man Mulakhil must be deported back to Afghanistan right now. No ifs, no buts. Left-wing agitators and their human rights lawyers often say that this is too difficult to do. But that is simply is not true.
The Taliban have previously indicated they would be willing to accept Afghans deported from the UK if I became Prime Minister. They may not be a regime we would want to do business with, but I am sure the overwhelming majority of common-sense Brits would agree with me that this monster should be sent back to Afghanistan without delay.
My government would ensure this man never steps foot in Britain again, along with every other foreign criminal in our jails. It can be done, and we will be the ones to do it.
