Zionist MP Tapp asks Polanski “What should a terrorist look like?”

Israel-fanatic and Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) vice-chair Labour MP Mike Tapp isn’t the brightest — or most moral — bulb in the box. Tapp thinks it’s great for police to beat the crap out of a helpless suspect. So maybe it’s no surprise he didn’t see what a door he was opening when he tried to taunt Green party leader Zack Polanski about the arrest of grannies and vicars opposing genocide. But asking Polanski what a convicted terrorist should look like? Come on. Who’d ever have guessed? But that’s exactly what Tapp did. Polanski had rightly pointed to the Starmer…

Terms of Iran and US peace deal to be formalised on Friday

Iran and the US are set to sign a new peace deal this Friday. The US has been humiliated on multiple fronts, to say the least. The Oman-brokered deal, as we have often repeated, offered unprecedented concessions, but the US and Israel attacked Iran anyway. The full terms of the new deal are not yet clear. But we are being told the details are finalised, to be formally signed on 19 June. Here is what the news agency Reuters has reported: STRAIT OF HORMUZ: * Iran immediately reopens the ​Strait of Hormuz to all commercial vessels, while the U.S. ⁠lifts its naval…

Sweden secure comfortable win over Tunisia

Sweden opened their World Cup campaign with a ruthless performance, easing past Tunisia 5-1 in a match that underlined the attacking depth Graham Potter has built. It was not flawless — but what mattered was control, clarity and a front line that looked sharp from the first whistle. Gyökeres strikes early Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, the two strikers Sweden have long hoped would peak at the same time, delivered exactly what Potter wanted: movement, power, and goals. Between them, they set the tone for a night that rarely drifted from Swedish hands. Tunisia had their moments, especially early on, but…

Social media ban fails to tackle root causes of dangerous online misogyny

Today the UK government has confirmed it will implement a long-anticipated ban on social media use for under-16s in the UK. As Maddison Wheeldon wrote for the Canary, this move does little for young people while letting big tech companies off the hook. And girls’ rights charity Plan International UK has added that the ban won’t keep girls safe. Because it fails to tackle the underlying causes of misogyny online. Morgan Griffith-David is senior influencing lead for UK Girls’ Rights at Plan International UK. Reacting to the confirmation of the ban on under-16s using social media in the UK, he said:…

Starmeroid MP left red-faced as Gaza email prosecution collapses

Starmeroid MP Peter Kyle and state prosecutors have been humiliated today after a constituent resoundingly defeated Kyle’s attempt to criminalise her for emailing him about Israel’s Gaza crimes. Claire Kerrison had copied Kyle — her constituency MP — in on emails to Keir Starmer and his ministers about Israel’s criminal abduction of humanitarian volunteers trying to sail aid to Gaza during Israel’s illegal starvation blockade. Kyle took exception to this and complained to Sussex Police. Following the regime’s usual pattern, the police arrested Kerrison in a 4am raid. The state charged Kerrison with ‘persistent misuse of a communication system to cause…

Report: Israel is ‘above the law’ and Gaza is testing Britain’s democracy

A new report by Mona Deely — CEO of Reform Initiative for Transparent Economies (RITE) — lays bare how support for Israel’s settler-colonial aggression in Palestine depends on disregard for international law by Israel and its allies. Deely, also a UK-certified lawyer, presents a detailed account of how unconditional support for states engaged in genocide is compromising systems. Moreover, she underscores the acceleration of this beneath state-of-the art surveillance systems. In addition, she highlights the marriage of convenience with Big Tech. The military support, legal interference, and lobbying across international institutions underpinning these alliances provide Zionist Israel with a political safety…

Monstrous 4 metre chicken dumped outside Pret in London

A car-sized Pret chicken wrap with a whole “frankenchicken” stuffed inside, feathers and all, has appeared outside Pret A Manger in Oxford Circus. It marks the start of animal welfare charity Anima’s week-long tour of 15 Pret cafés throughout the city. Pret is the target of a £1m public campaign as a response to the high-end café chain breaking its commitment to stop selling fast-growing chickens by 2026. In 2018 Pret promised to stop selling fast-growing chickens by this year. It has now delayed that to 2032 and not switched a single bird to a slower growing breed. Connor Jackson, chief…

Student protesters defy event boss to expose arms insurance cover-up

Student protesters have released footage and delivered letters to Sompo Insurance headquarters, defying attempts by event organisers to cover up the violent removal of activists from a major London financial conference. The incident occurred at the Insurance Linked Securities Conference, hosted by Insurance Insider, where four activists, including a 17-year-old student, were pushed and dragged from the venue by security. Security guards manhandled the 17-year-old student out of the event, as she shouted: “I’m just 17” and “Stop insuring genocide”. Activists accuse insurance company of ‘complicity’ The students had attended the event to demand that Sompo, a key sponsor, drop its…

Police chiefs face questions over decades of political policing as Spycops Inquiry resumes

On Monday 15 June, the Spycops inquiry resumes and campaigners will be looking for answers. Tranche 3 Phase 3 of the Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI) is beginning. And it’ll be a crucial stage in the investigation into the Metropolitan police’s Special Demonstration Squad (SDS). The Inquiry has heard evidence from former undercover officers and many of those whose groups, campaigns and personal lives they infiltrated. It’s now turning its attention to the senior officers and government departments who authorised, supervised and oversaw these operations. For many of those affected, this phase goes to the heart of the Inquiry. The key question…

Palestine Action ban to stay in place as courts rule human rights protest is ‘terrorism’

The Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of home secretary Shabana Mahmood’s appeal against the High Court’s ruling that the ‘terrorism’ ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. The appeals court decided that the ban was a proportionate infringement on UK human rights and did not exceed the government’s powers. Palestine Action The judge reading out the decision based this judgment on the home secretary being better placed than the courts to decide what was needed – an anti-judicial coup carried out by judges, effectively. The interference of pro-Israel groups in the decision to ban the direct action group was ignored.…

Starmer has banned kids from social media instead of reining in capitalist big tech

PM Keir Starmer has announced a social media ban for under-16s which will prevent access to apps like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X. Taking inspiration from Australia, the UK will introduce a similar ban to take effect from Spring 2027. However, the government will go further by restricting livestream and ‘stranger communication’ for children including on gaming sites. In his address, Starmer stated: All I’ve ever wanted for my own children, hand on heart, is for them to be happy and for them to be safe, I think that’s what any parent wants.

Germany dethrones Brazil in a historic World Cup win

Germany’s opening match at the 2026 World Cup was not merely a resounding 7-1 victory over Curaçao; it turned into a historic night that rewrote a number of major records in World Cup history. Thanks to the seven goals the ‘Mannschaft’ rained down on their opponents, Germany has taken the top spot as the highest-scoring team in World Cup history. It overtakes Brazil, who had held that record for many years. According to FIFA’s latest statistics, before the start of the current tournament, Brazil topped the all-time list with 237 goals, compared to Germany’s 232. However, Brazil’s 1-1 draw with Morocco…

Client journalists defend Musk becoming a trillionaire

Elon Musk — the seig-heiling owner of X — has become the world’s first trillionaire. As we’ll explain, he’s achieved this by leveraging his power, influence and shamelessness to prove that capitalism is every bit as rotten as we said it is. However, if you ask one of the many thoughtless establishment journalists out there how he became so wealthy, they’ll tell you ‘Elon gets lots of money because he makes rockets good‘. Amid all the predictable seething jealousy and bitter resentment to this news, I’d like to congratulate @elonmusk on an astounding achievement. He’s got there by being the most…

Canary Catch Up: A week of TV announcements – including on the BBC’s Doctor Who

Hello and welcome to Canary Catch Up. Each week, our resident telly addict Rachel Charlton-Dailey will bring us bang up to date with the shows she’s been obsessed with, what she’s hate-watching, and what she can’t wait to get stuck into. Something I was painfully aware of when I started this column was that some weeks there wouldn’t be a lot of TV to talk about. Living with chronic illness means I sometimes can’t look at screens, and some weeks the telly is just crap. Last week, unless you’re interested in football (which I’m not), there wasn’t really a lot to watch.…

Rihanna Kelver facing felony charges shows ‘stand your ground’ is not for trans people

Rihanna Kelver, a transgender woman in Wyoming, is facing felony charges for pulling a weapon to defend herself after being subject to homophobic and transphobic slurs. Slate magazine reported that Kelver was about to end a work shift when several men on the street began yelling slurs at her. Then: Moments later, according to court testimony and surveillance footage, the man shoved Kelver to the ground hard enough to injure her tailbone. Kelver responded by drawing a pistol from her bag, chambering a round, and pointing the weapon at the man who had pushed her. She kept the safety on and…

Lack of sanctions enable resilience of ‘Israel’ genocide economy

The FT has authored a concerning article indicating that the apartheid settler-colony, known as ‘Israel’, has suffered limited economic damage despite three years of genocidal crimes in West Asia. However, supporters of Palestine shouldn’t despair. The piece indicates that, in the event of meaningful sanctions by the likes of the EU, and a continued exodus of high skilled professionals, the ‘Israel’s’ finances could begin to really suffer. In the meantime, columnists Mehul Srivastava and James Shotter describe how “restaurants are full” in the settler-colony. This is a grotesque scenario in the Zone of Interest beside the starvation of the Gaza extermination…

Three in four consumers wrongly believe cage chickens are a thing of the past

Vegan campaign group Viva! says its latest survey reveals a major transparency problem within the UK egg industry, as the government mulls over a potential cage ban. Underpinning this statement is an eye-opening statistic. Almost three-quarters (74%) of UK shoppers are unaware that ‘enriched’ colony cages are used in the UK. Katie Robinson, campaigns manager at Viva!, explains: We asked 2,000 members of the public a simple question. And in doing so we’ve highlighted a deeply worrying disconnect between what consumers believe to be true and the realities of animal farming. Brits consume 14.5bn eggs a year, yet most have no…
