Sánchez must act against Spanish police after brutal attack on pensioner protester

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez has a solid record of resistance to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. But he must now show emphatic action against Spanish police after another brutal attack on peaceful protesters. In late May, police in Bilbao launched a vicious and unprovoked attack on volunteers of a humanitarian flotilla as they returned from abduction by Israel as they tried to reach Gaza. Now, as teachers were peacefully protesting in Valencia for public education and better pay, a 68-year-old retired teacher was cold-bloodedly shoved over from behind without warning. The 31 May 2026 attack slammed the woman’s face into the road…

Count Binface Makerfield manifesto would stitch up Burnham

Count Binface is among the candidates for the Makerfield by-election. So voters will have at least one coherent manifesto to ponder. UK politics has a long and rich tradition of electoral candidates who apparently exist in a different universe from everyone else. It’s how we ended up with Boris Johnson and Liz Truss as successive PMs. But aside from the utter deadbeats standing for allegedly serious parties, there’s the novelty candidate. The Official Monster Raving Loony Party pretty much wrote the book on this sort of thing. And its leader, Alan ‘Howlin’ Laud Hope, will be lining up alongside 13 others…

Starmer finds his backbone as he stands up to Elon Musk “interfering in our politics”

UK PM Keir Starmer appears to have found his backbone as he strengthens his rhetoric towards divisive X owner Elon Musk, saying the billionaire: has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division. That is not who we are in Britain. Adding: When it comes to disgusting images on Grok, we take Grok on and fight, because that’s who we are as a country. Starmer is right, of course, which is a refreshing change of pace. However, condemnation alone achieves precious little. The government must urgently curb the influence that super-rich elites wield over…

Shadow equalities minister wants any explanation other than racism for Black maternal deaths

Shadow Equalities Minister Claire Coutinho has suggested that we need to be “clear-eyed” when considering the issue of Black maternal deaths. Apparently, ‘the left’ (and also, you know, the NHS) are too quick to blame racism for the fact that Black people are three times more likely to die during childbirth. We’re having this whole ridiculous ‘debate’ again because, over the last week, Reform leader Nigel Farage has redoubled his attacks on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives. Those of us who don’t receive our talking points directly from Trump’s fascist America may know these better as EDI (Equality, Diversity and…

MPs warn Palantir influence over British state is ‘unacceptable point of weakness’

MPs from the influential science committee have warned AI war firm Palantir’s increasing power over the UK state is an “unacceptable weakness”. The committee also noted the firm, which is very close to the current Keir Starmer government, espouses openly far-right politics. The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee urged the government to: exercise the 2027 break clause in the NHS Federated Data Platform Contract with Palantir and either develop an in-house replacement or seek an alternative UK provider. The MPs also rejected the idea Palantir was the only firm capable of providing services the UK needs: The report argues that vendor…

Genocidal Ben-Gvir calls Lebanon ceasefire a ‘serious mistake’

Israel’s minister of national security and genocide fanatic, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has called the potential ceasefire with Lebanon a ‘serious mistake’. Importantly, the ceasefire would effectively surrender Southern Lebanon to Israel, with zero promise from Israel to stop attacking. Obviously, Hezbollah has declined the offer. So the “ceasefire” would effectively cede southern Lebanon to Israel without any promise by Israel to stop attacking. Hezbollah has declined this offer. https://t.co/RLXooXsPYb — Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) June 4, 2026 Israeli terrorists Israel Katz, Israel’s Defence Minister, said the U.S.-brokered Lebanon ceasefire declaration includes: an unequivocal statement on the disarmament of Hezbollah, the removal of Hezbollah…

Breaking: Swiss court shames UK by refusing to criminalise anti-genocide protest

A court in Geneva has confirmed that peaceful opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a legitimate right. As Palestinian exile Muzna Shihabi notes, the landmark decision:  Acknowledges that a genocide is underway.  Rules that nothing justifies sanctioning peaceful activists.  Confirms that freedom of expression protects non-violent civil disobedience and that repressing these mobilizations is incompatible with democracy. A lesson for the genocide-enabling Starmer government and its war on free speech and peaceful protest, as respondents are already noting: @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP Imagine how it must feel to finish your day in the knowledge that your actions let you sleep with a…

Israel is still burning families in Gaza

While the world’s attention has moved onto other horrors, Israel continues to bomb Gaza and burn families. The so-called ‘ceasefire’ is just a curtain to hide its atrocities. As the people of Gaza tried to survive another night last night, Israel continued to bomb the open-air concentration camp it has created: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ibrahim Nazmii (@ibrahim_nazmii) At least nine people were killed and many more injured in four separate bombings. The attacks created horrors that are all too familiar – civilians burning in bombed buildings, including children, despite heroic attempts to help: View this…

Stormont Justice Bill permits the state to keep your data for a lifetime

The Justice Bill currently passing through the Northern Ireland Assembly will allow the police to retain a person’s biometric data for a massive 75 years. This is despite the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) previously ruling that indefinite holding of such information is a violation of privacy. 75 years may not be indefinite, but it’s essentially a lifetime, meaning the difference is largely moot. More worryingly, the bill allows the state to keep information such as fingerprints and DNA for most of a century in cases of “terrorism-related” offences. This could include cases of inviting “support for a proscribed organisation”.…

Labour ignores failure of anti-nuclear weapons conference it spoke at

Countries including the UK failed to reach agreement at a UN nuclear conference in New York on how to eliminate nuclear weapons, while the Labour Government declined to comment despite sending a minister who spoke at the opening session. The 11th Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) took place from 27 April to 22 May, bringing together states parties, observers and non-governmental organisations. A House of Commons Library briefing published on 20 April said participants included treaty members, observers and NGOs who: discuss[ed] the functioning of the treaty, the implementation of its provisions and the state of nuclear disarmament…

The biggest international stars missing from the 2026 World Cup

Although the 2026 World Cup will go down in history as the biggest edition ever, featuring 48 teams and co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the tournament’s expanded format has not been enough to guarantee the presence of all the world’s football stars. Whilst fans prepare to follow an unprecedented edition in terms of the number of teams and matches, qualifiers, injuries and tactical choices have shaped another side of the World Cup: the absence of names that have played a significant part in the game’s landscape in recent years. Whilst the tournament has opened its doors to new…

Israel arrests two players from Palestinian women’s national team

Palestinian footballer Natalie Abu Dayeh wasn’t preparing for a match or a training camp this time. She was sitting at her university homework in the town of Birzeit, north of Ramallah, before Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) stormed her home and took her into custody, leaving behind the lecture notes and pen she had been writing with just minutes before the raid. A scene documented by the Palestinian Football Association in an official statement, but it was not the only incident in recent hours. Shortly afterwards, the occupation authorities arrested Palestinian women’s national team player Rand Halawani (20), after summoning her to…

Report proposes banning NHS staff from opposing genocide

In an alleged attempt to prevent antisemitism, a new review conducted by the government’s independent adviser Lord Mann has made several recommendations to the NHS. This potential censorship attempt raises concerns about our personal freedoms, including people’s right to show support for Palestinians. For instance, one of those recommendations is to ban NHS staff from wearing ‘political’ badges such as those linked to pro-Palestinian advocacy. However, these badges are arguably not political, but an expression of basic humanity. They signal the wearer’s objection to mass killing and Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. That campaign has mutilated, murdered and maimed hundreds of…

Farage threatens that white riots in Southampton are ‘just the beginning’

Nigel Farage has recently defended his call for “pure cold rage” in reaction to responding officers’ treatment of murder victim Henry Nowak. Worse still, he’s doubled down on his race-baiting, claiming that there’s worse yet to come.  Meanwhile, the Times has been doing all it can to tow the Reform leader’s party line. The right-wing rag has managed to dig up a Hampshire Police diversity training day questionnaire, reporting on the pigs feeling “pressured” and “controlled”, as if that’s somehow connected to them ignoring Nowak as he bled to death. Back in the real world, the president of the National Black Police Association…

Nowak’s tragic death another incident where police get it fatally wrong

The Chief Constable of Hampshire Police told the BBC that the footage of officers arresting Henry Nowak while he lay bleeding from stab wounds left him feeling as “distressed” as the wider public. Officers handcuffed Nowak and read him his rights despite his obvious injuries. Ultimately, the court sentenced his killer, Vickrum Digwa, to a minimum of 21 years in prison for the murder. Prosecutors will soon continue proceedings against Digwa’s mother for allegedly concealing the knife used in the attack. However, it has clearly emerged that police officers failed to respond appropriately to Nowak’s injuries despite his repeated pleas for…

Starmeroid would-be leader Darren Jones cosied up to Mandelson

Bristol Labour MP Darren Jones is a Starmer clone, heavily funded by discredited sabotage group ‘Labour Together.’ Jones, currently Keir Starmer’s ‘chief secretary,’ reportedly hopes to replace his boss. But he has now been exposed as no better than his current party leader on the disgraced Peter Mandelson. Mandelson was finally sacked as UK ambassador to the US in late 2025 over his closeness to Israeli spy and serial child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. He has since been shown to have repeatedly sent lucrative confidential ‘insider trading’ information to Epstein. Mandelson’s disgrace has brought Starmer to the brink of downfall. Jones had…
