Martyrs and injured civilians arrive daily to under-resourced hospitals across the Strip.

Labour chair to Farage: report your so-called Russian hack to the authorities, or I will

Labour chair Anna Turley has issued an ultimatum to Nigel Farage: he has 24 hours to report his claim to have been a victim of a Russian hack to security services. If not, Turley plans to do it for him.  It’s “in the public and national interest” to make sure that a possible attack by a foreign state is investigated properly, according to the letter Turley sent to the Reform leader. Farage needs to sound the espionage alarms On 23 May, Farage claimed that counter-espionage experts employed by Reform had found proof that Russian hackers used spear phishing to break into…

Cost of Iran war forces US military to cut training budgets at home

The cost of the unprovoked US war on Iran is limiting routine training and maintenance at home. The military’s usual practice flights, training exercises, and the upkeep of equipment have all been affected as the American empire strains under the demands of the failing war. CNN reported: The Navy’s top officer, Adm. Daryl Caudle, told House Armed Services Committee lawmakers earlier this month that his 2026 budget “didn’t bake in [Operation] Epic Fury” and that the Navy faces impacts on “routine operations” as a result. That includes having to limit training exercises, flight training hours and training for new recruits, he…

Beyond the bean: Coffee’s footprint vs small-format stimulants

The morning cup of coffee has an impact that most consumers are unaware of. A real impact, in terms of carbon and water. New forms of stimulants are also appearing on the shelves and at the checkout in the UK, from caffeine pouches to concentrated shots, and they raise a legitimate question. The figures associated with a cup of coffee are higher than marketing tends to suggest. So how does coffee actually compare to small-format alternatives, per serving, by the kettle? The hidden weight of your morning brew Most of coffee’s environmental cost is paid before the beans leave the farm.…

Ofgem’s energy price cap a ‘total con’, says Richard Burgon

Labour MP Richard Burgon has spoken out against Ofgem’s price cap rise, labelling it a “total con”: Ofgem’s so-called energy price cap is a total con. Bills are going up again We need a real price cap that protects ordinary people, paid for through the profits of energy giants. We need to replace expensive gas with cheaper renewables.

Family of UK lawyer for Israel has donated thousands to Labour Party

Last week, the European Legal Support Centre (ELSC) and the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) filed a joint complaint against three patrons of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) – Lord David Pannick KC, Lord Anthony Grabiner KC, and Stephen Hockman KC – alleging that the senior barristers used their professional seniority in a pattern of legal intimidation … targeting individuals and organisations engaged in Palestine advocacy. It is an overdue reckoning for UKLFI, who have been slammed for using a strategy of “lawfare” in mounting a series of complaints against teachers, healthcare workers, and even museum staff. However, many have failed…

England World Cup training camp security revealed

England’s World Cup training camp will be subject to unprecedented security measures in the US amid growing fears of drone spying operations or sabotage attempts aimed at players and fans. The US authorities and the FA have decided to turn the squad’s camp in Kansas City into something resembling a fortified base, the Sun reported. The daily newspaper revealed that specialised “hunter-catcher” aircraft, which are anti-drone aircraft capable of shooting down any unlicensed aircraft through special nets, in addition to electronic jamming devices and advanced monitoring systems, will be deployed. England players protected by systems able to disable drones It’s alleged…

US drops charges against Israeli whose illegal biolab left neighbours ‘deathly ill’

The US government has dropped all federal charges against Ori Solomon, who is now free to leave the US and return to Israel. Solomon’s hidden, illegal biolab in a rental lock-up left neighbours and the police who entered it “deathly ill”. However, the only charges he now faces relate to illegal waste disposal. The official story now is that the lab was making unlicensed “medical testing kits”. Those, however, do not commonly make people “deathly ill”. US operates revolving door of impunity The US has a track record of turning a blind eye or dropping cases in order to allow Israelis…

New research highlights the challenges entrenched into the daily lives of UK girls

One in five girls say they first experienced unwanted physical or sexual harassment before age 12. That’s the finding of new research from girls’ rights charity Plan International UK. It sits alongside another recent report, which focussed on the pervasive impact of online misogyny. Opinium Research polled 1,000 nationally representative girls and women in the UK aged 16-24. The findings highlight the vast majority (87%) have received unwanted comments about their appearance, such as catcalling and intrusive remarks. As a result, many young women say they are adapting their behaviour, with nearly three in five (58%) saying they change how they…

Sudan: UAE-linked Colombian mercenaries operating amid genocide

Colombian mercenaries are being hired, trained and moved into Sudan by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a new report warns. The east African nation is locked into a civil war between the Sudanese government and the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces. Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported this week: Colombian private military contractors, apparently hired by a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based company, transited through UAE military bases before being deployed to Sudan to support the abusive Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This is further evidence indicating that the UAE is assisting or otherwise substantially contributing to the Rapid Support Forces’ capacity to commit war…

Mamdani fights for renters with transformative ‘Block by Block’ NY housing plan

New York mayor, Zohran Mamdani, unveiled his groundbreaking ‘Block by Block’ housing plan yesterday, which will see 400,000 affordable homes with stabilised rents. This restoring news follows a successful collection of more than $9 million in unpaid fines from billionaire Bezos’ Amazon. Mamdani has long made clear that he grasps the scale of the financial crisis facing ordinary people, who find themselves increasingly priced out of housing and have an uphill battle to achieve financial security. The New York mayor will also target rogue, exploitative landlords, and create tens of thousands of jobs needed to build new homes. In turn, he…

Senedd candidate in Nazi salute photo row now Reform special adviser

Reform Senedd candidate Corey Edwards, who stepped down from the election after a photo emerged of him doing a Nazi salute, is now, apparently, the special adviser for the far-right party’s Welsh leader. Mere hours after Reform announced him as a candidate for Bridgend and Vale of Glamorgan, a photo of Edwards performing a Nazi salute (complete with a finger in place of a Hitler-style moustache) came to light. The picture was reportedly taken more than six years ago. Edwards ‘apologised’ publicly but also tried to play it down as a joke. He even attempted a feeble swipe at anti-Zionist protests. My…

Birds of prey report exposes upper-class bloodlust

A disgusting new report has landed from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and it’s damning. Between 2015 and 2024, there were 921 illegal attacks on protected birdlife across the UK and the data shows that criminals are targeting raptors in disgustingly cruel ways. The charity’s Patterns of Persecution report also states that more than half of these confirmed kills have taken place near or on land managed for game shooting. These are the hunting grounds of the wealthy and the landed gentry, so of course, this needless slaughter is being driven by profit. Their excuse? Gamekeepers slaughter innocent…

MSM scrape barrel to attack Greens’ Makerfield candidate

Yesterday, Skwawkbox predicted that the ‘mainstream’ media (MSM) and Israel lobby would struggle to find anything to use against new Green party Makerfield by-election candidate Sarah Wakefield. It wasn’t a compliment. But Wakefield’s apparent silence on important issues like Gaza means that the ‘MSM’ is, as predicted, scraping right through the bottom of the barrel. So far, it’s had to pick on the blandest things imaginable — like wanting fairer farming. Their narrative of the Green Party is as dull as it is revealing. MSM panic at “decolonising” pledges The Murdoch Times has dedicated a whole, quite lengthy article and two…
