GMB forced to apologise for Reform UK lies

Reform UK has been accused of many things in 2026, but a tendency towards honesty is not one of them. The latest example of a Reform politician telling porkies came on 16 August when Nadhim Zahawi peddled some rubbish about Count Binface. Now,Β Good Morning Britain have been forced to apologise on the man’s behalf: Today,@GMB issued an on-air clarification that Count Binface did not accept money from Dale Vince or have anyone from other parties canvassing for him in Clacton, after Nadhim Zahawi falsely claimed he did on the show last week. pic.twitter.com/8t8xLJrGYT — Wokerati Marty (@WokeratiMarty) August 17, 2026 Reform…

Farage’s Clacton con is a distraction that only helps the powerful

Nigel Farage is back in Parliament, fresh from winning the Clacton by-election, posing for photos like he’s just liberated Dunkirk instead of securing a seat he’s chased on and off for 12 years. Meanwhile, the Labour government is so busy tiptoeing around the right they’ve forgotten how to walk forward. The last few days in British politics have felt like a bit like watching a particularly bad reality TV reboot nobody asked for. Farage’s latest lies Let’s start with Nigel – because if hypocrisy was an Olympic sport, this man would be taking gold, silver, and the judges’ trophy for most…

Carving Up the Border: Deconstructing Israel’s Buffer Strategy in Lebanon and Syria

Western media routinely frames “buffer zones” as neutral, defensive measures designed to stabilize volatile borders, but the ground reality across southern Lebanon and southwestern Syria reveals a deliberate strategy of asymmetrical territorial reduction. Israel’s land grabs In southern Lebanon, Israeli military operations enforce this strategy through the systematic demolition of border villages, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and forced depopulation of historic communities. It is a strategy directly echoing the initial “security belt” pretext used to justify the unilateral occupation and permanent annexation of the Syrian Golan Heights. Rather than serving temporary operational security – as Israel claims – these “buffers” function…

Drought disaster for French farmers shows water must be a public resource

There is a red alert in France concerning water resources. Although France is currently experiencing its fourth heatwave since May, the drought is worsening. And with it, the insurance companies’ bill is rising, as they see their expenditure increase every year due, reportedly, to increasingly intense and recurrent exceptional weather events. A national crisis On 29 July, no fewer than 62 of the country’s 96 metropolitan departments were in a crisis situation, and another 22 were on alert. The Minister for Ecological Transition, Monique Barbut stated that the cost of the current crisis would be β€œhigher” than the €5.6 billion recorded…

Calafiori, Havertz and Ødegaard fire the Gunners to Community Shield win over Man City

Arsenal opened the new season with a controlled, confident and quietly emphatic 3-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield, delivering a performance that underlined their status as Premier League holders and exposed early frailties in the first competitive match of the Enzo Maresca era. A blistering start, sharp execution in key moments and a far more secure defensive display than anything seen in pre-season carried Mikel Arteta’s side to a comfortable victory at the Principality Stadium. The tone was set inside half a minute. Myles Lewis‑Skelly, trusted from the start despite speculation around his future, clipped a perfectly weighted…

Zack Polanski calls out antisemitic Economist hit piece

Green Party leader Zack Polanski has labelled an Economist piece “antisemitic”. And given the outlet’s own description of the piece, it’s easy to see why: Seems pretty Antisemitic to me. How have we got to the place that they feel so emboldened to write this shit? https://t.co/CzRwKI5EjQ — Zack Polanski (@ZackPolanski) August 16, 2026 Definitions The ideology of Israel is ‘Zionism’. This political movement centres on the idea that Israel must exist as an expansionist colonial state in the Middle East. Israel has enjoyed widespread Western support because it serves as America’s foothold in the Middle East. And if America wants…

Fascist Israeli minister Ben-Gvir demands Zionists massacre 30-40 Palestinians a day

Israel’s fascist ‘security’ minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has demanded even more slaughter of Palestinians to advance Israel’s theft of Gaza. In keeping with his racist, genocidal worldview, he has dismissed Gaza’s indigenous and refugee population as “not worthy of life” and β€œnot even people”. Ben-Gvir, giving an interview wearing a noose pin symbolising the execution of Palestinian prisoners, also insisted that Israel would settle the whole of Gaza. He also mocked Palestinian Muslims by using the Arabic term ‘Insha’Allah’, which means ‘God willing’: “Insha’Allah… we will settle all of Gaza,” said Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in an interview, who…

Renters Left Sweating as Landlords Refuse to Fit Ceiling Fans Amid Rising Heatwaves

Britain’s summers keep getting hotter, but for millions of renters, staying cool is not that simple. Many tenants cannot drill into a ceiling, rewire a light fitting, or fit permanent equipment without written permission. That leaves them stuck between two bad choices: sweat it out or spend hundreds of pounds on a bulky air conditioning unit that guzzles electricity. Many shared houses and flats also do not have anywhere sensible to fit a window unit in the first place, which rules out that option before it even gets considered. There is a quieter option that more renters are trying this year,…

Can Andy Burnham make MI5 respect the Hillsborough Law?

Can Andy Burnham make MI5 respect the Hillsborough Law?

One of the first tasks of Whitehall’s mandarins – the permanent government – is to indoctrinate a new prime minister in the need for official secrecy, especially around the intelligence agencies. Andy Burnham should be more sceptical judging by his comments over many years and could prove to be a more difficult person to convince than his predecessors. His accession to the premiership comes at a time of unprecedented public criticism of the agencies, of MI5 in particular.Β  Burnham was at the forefront of the campaign to get justice for the families of the 97 unlawfully killed at the 1989 Hillsborough…

Video/pictures: London Irish protest outside German embassy over Ulm5 injustice

The London Irish Brigade held a demo outside the German Embassy on Saturday 15 August 2026 to call attention to the show trial of the ‘Ulm 5‘ anti-genocide activists in Stuttgart Stammheim, Germany. Like the ‘Filton 24’ in the UK, several of whom were at the demo to show their support, and other anti-genocide activists in the UK, the Ulm 5 were non-violent. They damaged murder-drones at an Elbit factory and then waited for police to arrive. Also like the Filton activists, since their arrest the five have been held in severe conditions for many months, with strict restrictions on visits…

JD Vance admits he wants Americans to be poorer

JD Vance β€” America has a great problem on the horizon; namely that it will one day cease to be the world’s global reserve currency. Should this happen, America would almost certainly cease to be the richest and most powerful country in the world. And should that happen, its citizens would have to come to terms with how much goods and services cost when your home nation doesn’t have an unfair advantage. Novel problems call for novel solutions, anyway, and vice president JD Vance certainly has an interesting idea: JD Vance wants to end the US dollar's position as a global…

Israel caught β€” again β€” influencing AI chatbots in its favour

Israel has been caught in a new campaign to influence how AI chatbots answer questions about its genocidal military and its crimes in Gaza. Again. The new campaign set up a fake ‘think tank‘ β€” the ‘Hanover Institute’ β€” to whitewash pro-Israel propaganda and fool chatbots. It comes after Israel’s earlier huge spending through a Trump-linked PR firm to pervert AI responses β€” and organised through the same French firm, Havas Media. The earlier campaign also targeted US churchgoers, in a so far unsuccessful attempt to halt Israel’s collapsing support among the US public. Israel β€” Usual suspects The revelations come…

Viral video exposes widely used β€˜torture’ tech used by cops

A series of disturbing videos have shown a new weapon police and security forces are now using. And as people are pointing out, it’s a weapon which could serve as both the delivery method of violence and the excuse for dishing it out: Y’all get what this is, right? Just by touching you with these gloves, cops can literally force your body to involuntarily spasm in a way that looks enough like β€œresisting arrest” on a bodycam video to justify beating your brains out & shooting you dead consequence-free https://t.co/CKWw3TFMsv — ε†·ε‡θŠ­θ•‰ (@TPatbat) August 14, 2026 Compliance The weapon demonstrated above…

The strangest football employees in the lives of stars β€” jobs you wouldn’t imagine

The lives of top-tier football stars have always been associated with vast wealth and extraordinary luxury. With multi-million dollar contracts, an entire world of employees is built around the player to ensure they focus on their primary mission on the pitch. However, the lives of some stars do not stop at luxury cars, opulent mansions, and expensive possessions. Their daily details sometimes turn into independent “jobs” handled by others, ranging from organizing clothes, caring for pets and fish, to regulating sleep and even accompanying the player during celebratory moments. According to British reports, the football world has witnessed remarkable examples of…

Israeli war criminal Ben-Gvir celebrates arrest of Palestinian bride and groom

In another sign that there are no bounds to ‘Israeli’ efforts to seek novel forms of cruelty, the apartheid entity’s security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has gloated over the arrest of a bride and groom on their wedding day. In heartbreaking footage posted by the war criminal, the couple trudge in suit and wedding dress through the gates of a police station on what should have been the happiest day of their lives. However, as victims in an apartheid society, Palestinians don’t get to enjoy these moments in the way people in a free society might. The Zionist thug masquerading as a…
