Reform UK’s Braverman believes the UK should be compensated for its colonial pillages

Reform UK’s far-right MP Suella Braverman claims the UK should receive reparations for its “investment, effort and contribution” to the colonies. This appalling suggestion came after Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy posted on X about Jamaica making the (long overdue) case for reparations “directly to King Charles”. Apparently, countries that had their resources, wealth, and labour exploited or stolen have no right to reparations, but those who capitalised upon it should be reimbursed because “the British Empire did so much good for the world”. Correction: the British Empire stole an extraordinary amount of wealth from the countries it colonised. It committed numerous…

Sexual assault on sedated partners becoming an organised crime as “truly international” network exposed

Domestic abuse — The National Crime Agency (NCA) has revealed that they have been investigating a “truly international network” of organised sexual abuse and assault in which drugs are used to sedate unwitting victims “often taking place over decades”. Helen Millichap, director of the National Centre for Violence Against Women and Girls and Public Protection, told the Guardian these crimes are: rooted in domestic abuse, controlling and coercive behaviour and sexual offending. Adding that, whilst they are not a ‘new’ offence: the evolving profile reveals how the online and connected nature of the abuse is occurring, the dimensions are changing and therefore…

Minister responsible for regulating social media quits X after two years of inaction

Lisa Nandy has announced that she and her government department for culture, media and sport are leaving the social media platform X as it: favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn’t healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it. However, many have pointed out that one of Nandy’s crucial responsibilities for the last two years since taking up her position has been to regulate social media. Her decision to just walk away from the platform suggests she’s either giving up, or alternatively – and more likely – the trillionaire has made regulation impossible…

Mandelson allegedly worked with Russia for 35 years to manipulate UK politics

The Telegraph has reported on a secret dossier put together by a former MI6 British intelligence officer which exposes paedo-pal Lord Mandelson as being a “privileged contact” of the Russians. Former MI6 spy Christopher Steele used to be the head of MI6’s Russia desk. Since leaving, he compiled a report under the codename “Project Fish” which detailed how, for over 30 years, Russian spies saw Epstein’s close confidant ‘Petie’ as: one of the most significant RIS [Russian intelligence services] achievements in manipulating UK politics. Given Mandelson was one of the loudest accusers against Corbyn making the scandalous claim that the left-wing…

Mosque targeted in a suspected arson attack in Dublin city centre as anti-Muslim hate rises

A suspected arson attack set a mosque in Dublin city centre ablaze in broad daylight on Monday 29 June at 3:35pm. Police subsequently arrested a man in his 40s in connection with the fire. In video footage, the man shouted: Go back to your country. We don’t want Islam in this country. People have repeatedly targeted the mosque by walking in during prayers, confronting worshippers, and filming videos to post on social media in an attempt to demonise Muslims in Ireland. Now, this suspected arson attack marks a dangerous escalation. It shows just how far anti-Muslim hate has spread and how…

Noise demo announced to confront anti-trans campaign group coming to London

A campaign group which wants to block gender affirming care for trans people is coming to London for a conference as it continues towards its aim of: structural violence against, and erasure of the trans community. Presenting themselves as a “respectable organisation”, the Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender (CAN-SG) is a group of medical clinicians who campaign against gender affirming care and allegedly aim to improve holistic support for trans people instead. However, activists from Trans Kids Deserve Better (TKDB) have raised serious concerns, arguing that the group is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They say it presents itself…

Home Secretary wants public to decide asylum seekers’ appeals

Members of the public will be asked to volunteer to decide on appeals from asylum seekers as part of a new Independent Immigration Appeals Authority (IIAA). Shabana Mahmood is expected to introduce the proposal under the new Immigration and Asylum Bill, which will be presented to MPs in the House of Commons on Tuesday. The Home Office argues public participation will speed up deportations of ‘illegal immigrants’ with magistrate-like changes to empower those without legal knowledge to help clear the backlog. Currently, the backlog of appeals outnumbers those waiting for initial decisions, signaling the scale of the crisis. However, racists and…

Royal Family to get a 94% surge in taxpayer-funded income whilst ‘it’s subjects’ must expect less

Royal Family to get a 94% surge in taxpayer-funded income whilst ‘it’s subjects’ must expect less

Long-time benefit scroungers, the Royal Family are set for a staggering 94% increase in taxpayer funding through the Sovereign Grant. So, while the rest of us are told there’s no money for public services and everyone needs to tighten their belts, the richest family in the country is about to see its public funding almost double. When doctors and other public sector workers are criticised for asking for pay rises of 5% or 6.6%, it’s hard not to notice a pretty sickening contrast. Apparently, modest wage increases are “unaffordable” — unless you’re already fabulously wealthy. And this comes at the same…

Zia Yusuf has tried and failed to make the cut to stand for Reform leaving many wondering why

Zia Yusuf appeared on Question Time on Friday 26th doing his usual arrogant punditry attacking Andy Burnham and other political opponents and doing his best to suggest far-right Reform UK are the best hope for the UK. However, other panelists pointed out that Yusuf has yet to stand in an election for the party — and Yusuf’s response exposed the embarrassing fact that he has indeed tried to stand, he just can’t seem to be selected. Given Farage’s party has seen perverts and white supremacists elected, it leaves you wondering what skeletons are in Reform’s ‘home affairs’ spokesperson. Going further, it…

White supremacists firebomb another Muslim family’s home with three young children inside

A home in Blackburn has been targeted by white supremacists with a firebomb, Islamophobia written all over the attack. Three young children, including a 7-month-old baby, were inside the home, but thankfully all were able to escape before suffering any fatal injuries. However, this is the latest in a growing number of Islamophobic attacks committed by white supremacists in recent months, encouraged by far-right pundits and politicians profiting from the hate and division that has left many Muslim families fearing for their safety. In fact, recent calls to withdraw the definition of Islamophobia suggest this is just the start of a…

Leaked letter from Israeli elites threatens legal action over “ideology of ethnic cleansing” in West Bank

Israeli elites from the Zionist state’s security, political and cultural scenes have issued a letter to Netanyahu and his government threatening legal action, citing the impunity given to “Jewish terrorism” and the “ideology of ethnic cleansing” in the occupied West Bank. Amongst the Israelis who appear to have hit the end of their tether with the settler-colonial government are former prime ministers, former heads of all the state’s security services, former judges, a Nobel prize winner and a famous novelist. Issuing a “final warning”, they have insisted that Netanyahu and his genocidal officials take immediate action to “eradicate Jewish terrorism”. They…

Ex-Tory MP attacks Islamophobia definition while anti-Muslim hate rises

Former Tory minister Claire Coutinho — seen delighting in Badenoch’s shameful performance in the Commons on 24 June — appears to be on roll when it comes to demeaning and bullying people she deems ‘lesser’ than, including Muslims. Speaking in the Commons, she had the audacity to call on the government to scrap the existing definition of Islamophobia, which refers to anti-Muslim hostility. This comes at a time when anti-Muslim hate, coupled with violence and threats to life, are on the rise against British muslims. That hate has been taken out on anyone with Brown skin, highlighting racism as the real…

Labour’s Burgon to bring debate to Parliament to ban lucrative side gigs for MPs

Labour MP Richard Burgon has secured a debate in Parliament which will consider banning second jobs for all MPs. Whilst some MPs insist their roles in healthcare and law should be continued alongside MP responsibilities, this loophole has enabled other greedy MPs to turn to lucrative side gigs which bring their priorities into question. For instance, Burgon cites Farage pocketing more than £1m since being elected in “outside work” despite MPs being afforded a pretty high salary from the public purse placing them firmly in the top 1% of earners. Other reports have said that figure is actually £2m. He says:…

Badnoch sinks to new lows as MPs appear increasingly out of touch

Conservative leader Badenoch has descended into the gutter of British politics as she threw loaded words like “traitor” at Labour MPs and made clear her disgust at politicians apparently seeking to improve inequality in the UK. Taking aim at Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, who she says has been “loyal and incompetent”, Badenoch disgustingly stated: It turns out, appointing a spiteful class warrior as education secretary was a disaster. However, she also pointed out how the taxes were introduced to increase the number of teachers in state schools — which hasn’t borne out — but Badenoch appears more to have an issue…

Burnham says “we under tax wealth” but will he do anything about it?

Tax Justice UK have posted a video filmed in November, challenging the newly elected Makerfield MP and likely-PM Andy Burnham on his position on wealth taxes. This comes as Burnham looks likely to take the top job of PM, leading many to pay attention to whether he sticks by his prior commitments. At the time, Andy Burnham seemed to recognise the unfairness of a system that taxes work heavily while allowing many of the wealthiest to pay less than ordinary workers. He notably said: We under tax wealth. If you take something as simple as council tax, people here [Manchester city…

UK officials chose cosying up to oppressor UAE over preventing mass murder in Sudan

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) now face serious questions after being proven to be politically captured, yet again, by an oppressive state funding mass-murder, this time at the hands of the Rapid Sudan Forces (RSF). Afraid of upsetting foreign tyrants, thus choosing to ignore warnings about the mass slaughter of Sudanese civilians in el-Fasher. Instead, human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond has claimed that the FCDO instead prioritised cosying up to the UAE out of fear it would upset existing ‘good relations’. Founding director of the Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at Yale School of Public Health, Raymond, provided damning testimony…

Farage’s Brexit ‘legacy’ gave us the instability he now condemns

Millionaire Reform leader Nigel Farage has been on the airwaves criticising the “revolving door” in Number 10 since Brexit, which has seen five PMs come and go. But GMB presenter and former Labour politician Ed Balls pointed out that, a decade on from the referendum, the UK has seen sluggish growth, struggling small businesses, and weak investment – with polling suggesting only around a third now think Brexit was the right call. Farage, however, argued that the real “earthquake” in British politics came from parties telling voters they were better off remaining in the EU – even though the facts show…

Starmer and Burnham are two sides of the same coin

Keir Starmer has finally accepted defeat as he gave a speech stepping down as Labour leader. During his teary speech at the podium outside No.10, Starmer praised how he got rid of the antisemitism which had apparently plagued the party before he took the reins. He said his administration defied the odds, claiming: That we were consigned to history, that a majority at the general election, let alone a landslide majority, was impossible. But we proved those people wrong because we changed our party. Ripping out the poison of antisemitism, restoring trust on the economy, defence, and national security. However, the…

Reform MPs show lack of humility yet again blaming Starmer for their own inability to win seat

Reform MP-hopeful Robert Kenyon lost in the Makerfield by-election by over 9,000 votes, which is likely to have left the far-right party feeling pretty sore. However, most who face such a defeat would look to where they didn’t hit the mark with voters — but not grievance-fueling Reform UK whose MPs and leader have come out blaming Starmer’s abysmal leadership for why they didn’t win enough votes to secure the seat. The bigoted party’s deputy leader came first, with Richard Tice telling the BBC that people who actually wanted to vote Reform wound up voting for Labour ‘because they had to’.…

Burnham caught in yet another lie raising more concern that he is just another Starmer

Andy Burnham has won the Makerfield by-election, leaving many in the constituency and beyond breathing a sigh of relief that bigoted, abuse-justifying Reform UK didn’t take the seat. However, this does not mean we are out of woods when it comes to politicians who lie, manipulate, and exploit British people to inflate their own egos and amass power. The latest lie to add to the pile was made during his acceptance speech, when he said: I always knew one day I would seek to go back to Westminster to complete that unfinished business. As an aspiring law student, I attended Burnham’s…
