Starmer tries charm offensive to avoid trump tantrum over social media ban

Ministers in Starmer’s government have apparently been hard at work lobbying the US President over fears. They worry they will see a backlash over the announced under-16s social media ban. Rather than asking the billionaire owners of Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube to protect children and restrict harmful content for all users, our government is instead choosing to cut off access for the most vulnerable in society. In fact, Starmer is now heading to the G7 Summit to meet the President. He will no doubt try to win favour with Trump. This signals another futile move by Labour to…

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…

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. BREAKING: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer…

Mirror journalist asks why violence committed by white men never seems to matter

Islamophobia — On Good Morning Britain (GMB), journalist Kevin Maguire confronted the fact that violence committed by white males never seems to see the same discriminatory attacks against them as a group. In contrast, when any attack is perpetrated by a Black or Brown man, condemnation is made against entire communities. As a result, we have seen a growing number of racist white riots, whether that be in Southampton after the trial of Nowak’s killer or the thugs terrorising local residents in Belfast right now. With Farage stating Southampton was “just the beginning”, supporting far-right efforts to bring more violence to…

Belfast burns, while Met chief points finger at Iran and Russia

On 11 June, Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley appeared on Sky News to discuss the Belfast ‘race-based pogroms,’ following a horrific stabbing attack days earlier. Far-right politicians and pundits, with the help of tech mogul Elon Musk, love nothing more than turning tragedy into a PR stunt. They whip up fear and hate across the UK towards Black and Brown people. Meanwhile, white supremacist thugs have taken to the streets of Belfast, setting fire to the homes and terrorising local residents. It is clear that the situation in Belfast has implications far beyond the city’s limits. When asked about the…

West Ham co-owner, nicknamed ‘Sultan of Sleaze’, banned from being alone with women and girls

Content warning: This article contains descriptions of sexual abuse and harrassment  The billionaire co-owner of West Ham Football Club, David Sullivan, resigned on Saturday ahead of a joint BBC and Times investigation alleging he’s a sexual predator. The Panorama documentary broadcasts allegations made by several women that Sullivan abused his position of power and influence to prey on women for sex. Since 2023, officials have banned Sullivan from being alone with members of the women’s and youth teams.  An investigation uncovered concerns serious enough to prompt safeguarding restrictions around female players. The porn tycoon has insisted this was not a “disciplinary…

Rebecca Long-Bailey’s union speech is a rallying cry for the working class

MP Rebecca Long Bailey recently spoke at the conference for the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union and delivered a fierce rebuke to what the Labour Party has become under Keir Starmer. Referring to the murkiness of Peter Mandelson’s appointment, and the way in which the party has forgotten working class people, Long-Bailey insisted the party must remember and revive its trade union values. Her calls coincide with millionaire Nigel Farage telling unions to “ditch Labour” and affiliate with his party which only truly seeks to benefit its vested interests — the super-rich. These are the highlights from her address… Long-Bailey’s wish…

ICC prosecutor suspended over alleged sexual misconduct in ‘politically motivated smear campaign’

The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan has been suspended from his duties following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Khan has now been referred to disciplinary proceedings which will see a vote by all 125 ICC member states, with the upcoming vote set to decide his fate. However, prior reports regarding the investigation suggested that three judges found that the evidence was not conclusive, despite a UN probe initially finding a “factual basis” for the allegations of sexual misconduct raised by a female aide. Khan has refuted the allegations levelled against him as a “politically motivated smear…

Reform council accused of banning displays for Refugee Week and for Pride month

The Reform-led council in St Helens has instructed all local libraries to take down displays promoting or funding anything relating to Pride or Refugee Week. This Orwellian – and bigoted – move comes just as Refugee Week is set to commence, between the 15th and 21st June, and shuts down the long-seen practice of libraries highlighting resources which increase understanding and compassion towards marginalised communities. At the same time, the council have afforded £200k of taxpayers’ money to pay a consultant to ‘educate’ elected Reform councillors on the inner workings of the council over four years. This follows a comment made…

More claimants join test case against Elon Musk’s AI over demeaning sexualised content

Labour MP Jess Asato has announced that she has initiated a legal test case against Elon Musk’s xAI. The case will take to task Grok AI’s creation of fake, pornographic and derogatory content seen in January. Attracting particular condemnation is the fact that the AI tool produced a demeaning, offensive and frankly, dangerous video which showed the MP: being chloroformed and prepared for sexual assault. Grok AI and its prolific creation of sexualised content, including of young children, has prompted widespread anger as it became clear the business model was happy to make money out of the most abusive and sinister views…

Reform candidate Kenyon exposed as sexist on Question Time

Reform UK’s MP candidate for Makerfield, Robert Kenyon, once self-proclaimed himself as a sexist, but now he is running for parliament he coincidentally won’t accept the label and insists: I’ve got nothing but respect for women… I’ve said things years ago that I wouldn’t say now. However, his complete refusal to apologise for comments that many women rightfully found deeply offensive exposed another issue with the Makerfield ‘hopeful’. Instead of showing an ounce of humility or reflecting on why people objected, he doubled down. That response only strengthened the perception that he places his own views and sense of certainty above…

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…

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…

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…

In a new BBC documentary, Boris Johnson revealed that David Cameron offered him a “top five job” during a tennis match to secure his support for remaining in the EU. Cameron, PM at the time, apparently wanted Boris to know that he: valued his contribution, that he would be a major party of the government going forward. Apparently, Cameron returned from the tennis match feeling “doubly good” after beating Johnson and believing he had appealed to his career ambitions. Nevertheless, Cameron was quickly outmanoeuvred when the then-London Mayor announced — “after a huge amount of heartache” — that he would support…

Social care crisis fears as migrant workers’ children face deportation

The crisis facing social care could worsen as Labour sets out devastating plans to deport the children of migrant workers, who are filling vital staff shortages. Despite having valid, and extended, health and care worker visas to work in the UK, migrant families continue to be attacked by the government. As the Home Office “set[s] out plans for the biggest legal migration reforms in a generation”, to tackle “unprecedented levels of migration under the previous government”, children are being threatened with deportation. Inevitably, this will lead to a mass exodus of people invited to work in social care while Brits have…

Shabana Mahmood’s cruel policy to force torture victims to share rooms ruled unlawful

In a ruling handed down yesterday by the High Court, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s cruel policy to force victims of torture to share rooms with strangers has been deemed unlawful. Justifying this pretty damning ruling, the court judgement states that Mahmood’s: failures amount to a serious breach of the Defendant’s public law duties, rendering the impugned policy changes unlawful. These failures refer to the fact that Mahmood did not instruct any consultations before introducing such an impactful policy change and also gave little consideration for the impacts of this policy on victims of torture, trafficking and other serious violence. Moreover, she…

Epstein survivors fear reporting information about Andrew due to lack of faith in British police and media

Citing the lack of action taken by police authorities when Epstein was alive and the harassment seen in the British press, an American lawyer representing “multiple clients” has said these Epstein survivors will not speak to the police in the UK. Women who potentially have important information regarding disgraced paedo-prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor appear to feel unsafe at the prospect of coming forward. This relatable fear stems from a lack of faith in how the British police and the UK mainstream media would handle the case. Moreover, Brad Edwards highlighted the impact of subsequent press intrusion seen against a woman he…
