Senegal primed for World Cup after AFCON debacle

Senegal enters the 2026 World Cup finals with a rare blend of ambition, experience and renewal, in an attempt to rewrite one of the most beautiful stories in African football on the world stage. Although the ‘Lions of Teranga’ were unable to go beyond the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup, the signs leading up to the current edition suggest that the West African side possesses the qualities to make it one of the leading contenders to play the role of ‘dark horse’ in the tournament. Senegal had made their way to the World Cup with remarkable consistency, topping their qualifying…

Hezbollah and Iran remain unbowed despite US-Israeli assault

The US-Israeli imperial war machine has been hitting Iran and Hezbollah for months. That machine is a vastly superior killing implement  – on paper, at least. Yet the so-called ‘axis of resistance’ is still alive and kicking as a potential Pakistan-brokered peace deal edges closer. This all speaks to US decline, but it also outlines a deep Western misunderstanding of how the opposition functions. Faced with a US-provisioned force with a full suite of air-power, artillery, drones and cyber, Hezbollah killed 15 Israelis overnight, reports say: NEW: The US and Israel say that Hezbollah killed 15 Israeli soldiers overnight, which prompted…

US humiliation nears completion after Iran and Yemen hit Israel hard

Iran, Yemen, and Hezbollah have retaliated against Israel’s aggression, bombarding targets inside the settler-colonial state’s borders. Iran and Israel pledged to stop firing on 8 June. But Trump’s humiliation in this, his war of choice, draws closer by the hour. Iran and Yemen push back Journalist Jeremy Scahill captured the sheer cynicism of the Israeli government: Netanyahu, in part, began his scorched earth bombing in southern Lebanon—and the seizure of territory north of the Litani—so that he could establish a new “yellow line” in advance of any agreement between Iran and the U.S. He wants this to be Israel's place when…

UAE wants a loyalty pledge amid deportation spree of Shia Muslims

The US and Israel-allied state, the UAE, has launched an initiative calling citizens and residents to digitally “reaffirm their dedication to the nation’s core values of unity, coexistence, and tolerance,” as it has also deported 5,000 to 18,000 Shia Pakistanis recently since the US-Israel war on Iran began in February. The two actions by the Gulf state show it is anxious to ward off working-class solidarity against its alliance with Zionism. This follows a broader pattern of the UAE aligning with Washington. The Gulf state has reportedly joined US-Israeli strikes on Iran, requested dollar swap lines tying its economy to America, and exited…

The Telegraph’s desperate, antisemitic attack on Zack Polanski stinks

Notorious pro–Israel bigot Stephen Pollard has written a desperate, antisemitic article trying to smear Zack Polanski. He did this in response to the Green leader backing calls to hold potential war criminals to account. And he did so in the Telegraph, which has joined other right-wing rags in publishing antisemitic Polanski caricatures. Lobby backlash as Polanski backs accountability calls for potential war criminals Zack Polanski, along with many other Jewish people in the UK, has been vocal in his criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. And hardline Zionists (whether Jewish or non-Jewish) don’t like this. So they’ve thrown their toys out…

Hunters prepare to slaughter 10,000 innocent fox cubs

Right now, across our ‘green and pleasant’ land, thousands of tiny fox cubs are exploring a new world. Born in March and April, these tiny, vulnerable little bundles of fur are clumsy, curious and full of life. They’re finally beginning to explore the world. Chasing bugs through long glare, these iconic little cubs are totally unaware of the ticking time bomb that’s so close to going off. A shadow is creeping up on them. And in just a few weeks, their peaceful summer ends. And for so many fox cubs, so do their lives. Trapped in the woods August marks the…

World Cup visa chaos shows the settler colonial US is a hostile environment

Fans have found themselves facing rejections, restrictions, and outright bans for short-term visa applications to the US for this year’s men’s FIFA World Cup. Of course, this is hardly a surprise, given the Trump administration’s undisguised racism and Islamophobia. However, the news underscores existing criticisms of FIFA for awarding hosting responsibilities to the US in the first place. World Cup chaos entirely expected The states unveiled its bid to host the 2026 world cup back in 2017. Under the banner ‘United 2026’, it was a joint endeavor between the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Tony award winner Bourzgui’s acceptance speech compares Zionists and billionaires to vampires

Musician Ali Louis Bourzgui won a Tony award last night, 7 June, for his portrayal of a vampire in the musical adaptation of The Lost Boys. As he received his award, he compared Zionists and billionaires to the vampires of the show – people “who have shunned their own humanity in order to achieve a nonexistent sense of superiority”. And in case anyone was still unclear what he meant, he used his speech to wish freedom to the Palestinian people from occupation, as well as to praise the immigrants and trans people constantly targeted by the US fascist regime: https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/bourzgui-tony-1.mp4 Tony award…

100 days of Trump’s war on Iran: Trump rambles, prevaricates, and walks off an interview

In an NBC interview recorded on Friday, US President Donald Trump repeatedly defended his war of choice on Iran. He said Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was a “good comrade” but disagreed with him, stating that strikes on Lebanon should be more surgical than they are. However, the Financial Times (FT) reported that Trump later insisted he “calls the shots” and that Netanyahu has “no choice” but to accept any deal with Iran. The FT said they had verified a leaked call in which Trump called Netanyahu “fucking crazy” and told him he would be in prison without him. “I call all…

On 7 June, the i Paper revealed that Nigel Farage has personally taken over £83,000 in earnings and expenses from US anti-abortion groups. The news comes less than a week after Reform’s candidate for the Makerfield by-election, Robert Kenyon, faced a grilling on Question Time for his previous comment that: abortion is the cowardly act of women murdering a defenceless baby and that women do it so they can shag anyone they want. Farage, Reform, and the anti-abortion lobby The far-right party has previously claimed that it has no plans to alter UK abortion law. This is a lie. Even before the…

Polanski warns UK food system is close to collapse

Green Party leader Zack Polanski has warned that food insecurity is not a distant threat. He says it’s already impacting customers, farmers and workers in the food industry. In a speech to the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union on 8 June, Polanski warned that the UK’s food system is close to collapse. He spoke of pressures from rising temperatures and global instability and called for urgent action to support the UK’s food resilience. The speech comes as figures from the Autonomy Institute show that UK fruit and veg prices could rise 170% by 2050. And the climate crisis is likely…

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is a US event at which American Conservatives gather to revel in their own evil. Or it was, anyway.

We don’t need AI – AI needs us

There is a consistent narrative today that AI is an inevitability that we must simply accept. Media and large tech corporations portray AI as a futuristic technology. Saying that society must quickly adopt it or otherwise risk being “left behind”. However, this concept is inherently false. In reality it is the generative AI and its corporate creators that rely on us. AI survives off of human work The truth is that AI is fundamentally unable to create. It rests on the backs of real human expression and art. Everything that generative AI makes is based off of an endless supply of…

Tommy Robinson threatens to ‘punch head off’ former Sikh ally

Tommy Robinson is a far-right agitator who’s led street movements like the English Defence League (EDL) and Unite the Kingdom (UtK). While Robinson’s propaganda has shifted over the years, the common throughlines have been Islamophobia and the fear of migrants. As these prejudices aren’t unique to white Brits, there are some people from minority groups who have thrown in with Robinson and his ilk. Now, one of the Sikh men who supported Robinson in the past is being warned to watch his back. Short story: Bobby Singh, who twerks for Tommy Robinson, is now being threatened by Tommy Robinson.
