Makerfield ‘Count Binface’ candidate delivers a slam dunk over Farage

Political candidate Jonathan Harvey — also known as ‘Count Binface’ — stood in the Makerfield by-election for comedy value rather than in hope of winning. But even a comedy candidate has more political honesty than racist Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Notably, the peculiar atmosphere of Makerfield displayed just how easily humour can inform local politics. Quizzed by Sky News about his candidacy and whether he lived in the constituency, Harvey promised he would move there if he won, and reminding viewers that Farage “spends more time in America than in Clacton.” Farage is notionally the MP for Clacton in Essex,…

‘Robinson’ debates to near-empty room – and loses – after protesters picket OU

Fascist grifter Tommy Robinson ‘debated’ to a near-empty room in the Oxford Union (OU) on Wednesday night after a picket by anti-fascist protesters deterred most from attending. Robinson was supported in the debate by fellow extremist Laurence Fox and by OU committee member Oliver Jones-Lyons – and lost resoundingly anyway. Robinson misquoted the Quran in his tirade, including falsely claiming that it demands the execution of LGBTQ people. As the Canary’s Antifabot reported, Oxford wasn’t having it: Younger, more intensive groups barricaded every single entrance to the building. And instead of policing these more confrontational tactics, SUTR activists offered total solidarity. These two…

Breaking: ‘Moog 4’ walk free as jury refuses to convict

The ‘Moog 4’ anti-genocide activists who were put on trial for direct action against an arms firm supplying Israel have walked free from Birmingham Crown Court today. The jury in the trial was split and refused to convict the activists despite the prosecution claiming the decision to convict would be “simple”. The activists were charged with breaking into the Wolverhampton factory of Moog Aircraft Group, which supplies parts to Israel for the colony’s F-35 strike aircraft used to slaughter Palestinian civilians. They were accused of damaging weapons components and occupying the factory’s roof. They told the jury that: We believed the…

Watch: Israeli fascist Ben-Gvir — “We cannot stop demolishing homes in Lebanon”

Israel’s fascist ‘security minister’ Itamar Ben-Gvir has said that no matter what is agreed between the US and Iran, Israel “cannot” stop demolishing civilian homes in Lebanon. This, supposedly, is because Israel “must” control the territory from which it has ethnically cleansed more than a million innocent Lebanese people: We cannot stop demolishing houses in southern Lebanon. We cannot stop. We cannot allow the residents of southern Lebanon to return. We must continue to control the territory even if we disagree with (US President Donald) Trump, we are an independent state. Ben-Gvir: We cannot stop destroying houses in southern Lebanon. We…

Israel has set up cranes in Gaza as platforms to murder civilians

According to eyewitness reports in Gaza City, the Israeli occupation military has set up cranes around the city, each 100 feet tall. The IOF is using these as platforms to slaughter civilians. In tents, in cafes, in what remains of shelters. Gaza journalist Tamer Nahed posted his description to his X account: A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it. Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns…

Starmer’s ‘child protection’ law is an assault on press freedoms

Keir Starmer’s new ban on under-16s using social media — just as with the supposed ‘Online Safety Act’ (OSA) — does nothing to protect children. In fact, it will harm many and put others at risk as they try dangerous routes to bypass the ban. Furthermore, it will have an enormous chilling effect on meaningful journalism. It will also chill resistance to the authoritarian state he is building for fascist Reform to inherit. Starmer wages war on journalism How does the ban wage war on journalism? Because it is designed to make anonymity impossible and works hand in hand with Starmer’s…

Israelis try to murder 3 men in Cyprus. UK media, pols silent

Israeli men aged 21 and 22 have been arrested by police in Cyprus for attempted murder. One of the men allegedly stabbed a Cypriot man — as well as two security guards who tried to stop the attack. The attempted murders happened in Ayia Napa, leaving one of the guards in critical condition after emergency surgery. When police arrived to intervene, the attacker spewed insults at them. Both Israelis had to be subdued, leaving one injured from a blow to the head. UK news blackout when it concerns Israeli crimes No UK media or politicians appear to have mentioned the attack.…

Barrister in Ukrainians’ ‘Starmer arson’ trial says huge amount was covered up

Senior criminal law barrister Dominic D’Souza acted for one of the Ukrainians accused — and acquitted this week — of setting fire to properties belonging to Keir Starmer. The defendants were allegedly ‘rent boys’ — a factor largely ignored by UK ‘mainstream’ media. And D’Souza says that he was astonished — his word was ‘pickled’ — by how much of what went on was ignored or even buried by prosecution and judge in the case. Two men were convicted in the case. D’Souza’s client Petro Pochynok was acquitted. But when D’Souza read journalist Crispin Flintoff’s X post about the BBC’s unmerited…

Watch: Labour MP asked to name a single Burnham policy — and fails

Labour’s Manchester Rusholme MP Afzal Khan is on the campaign trail for Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election. Voters go to the polls tomorrow, 18 June 2026. The Canary asked him to name a policy that Burnham supports — and got a lot of waffle in return. Labour — U-Turnham? In fact, Khan seemed unable — or perhaps unwilling — to mention any policy that Burnham stands for. But he’s sure that Burnham “has views on the policies” and that “the policies will be there”. This quandary likely stems from the fact that any time Burnham has been associated with a…

Trump’s deluded ambassador says US wouldn’t exist without Israel

Deluded worldviews are everywhere in the Trump regime – they’re a requirement to be part of it. Few come more twisted than white nationalist and fanatical Zionist US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. So twisted that Huckabee thinks Israel has a ‘right’ to take the whole of west Asia. But Huckabee even – and completely ahistorically – thinks the US wouldn’t exist at all if it wasn’t for Israel: https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Huckabee-Exist-Subbed-hb.mp4 Back to front Just for the record – and for Trump himself – the US has existed as an independent nation for well over 200 years.

Reform’s Cunningham complains ‘Restore’ is racist

Former Tory Laila Cunningham, now a councillor for far-right ‘Reform UK’, has told the hard-right Telegraph that she has received death threats from supporters of even more extreme-right ‘Restore Britain’. Restore supporters don’t like that she is a Muslim. No Muslim should suffer hate for being a Muslim or for the colour of their skin. But Cunningham – also Reform’s candidate in the next London mayoral election – has pandered to white supremacy and Islamophobic race-hate as a campaign tactic. In January 2026, she said that any woman wearing a burqa should be subject to arbitrary stop-and-search, because: It has to…

Iran foreign minister Araghchi says no truce unless Israel leaves Lebanon

Iran foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has responded to Israel’s attempts to reject Donald Trump’s supposed ceasefire ‘memorandum of understanding‘ with Iran. Araghchi warned Israel – and Trump – that there is no prospect of any agreement to end the illegal US-Israel war unless Israel gets out of Lebanon completely: The end of the war will not be complete without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied in Lebanon. Any military attack by Israel on Lebanon and the continued occupation of Lebanese territories from now on, in our opinion, is a violation of the MoU. https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Araghchi-Lebanon-Subbed-hb.mp4 Araghchi continues to…

PSC’s Jamal demands apology from Board of Deputies

Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) director Ben Jamal has demanded an apology and retraction from Israel lobby group Board of Deputies (BOD) for its smears against anti-apartheid protesters. The BOD (like the Met Police) had attacked Jewish activists protesting outside a London synagogue hosting the sale of stolen Palestinian land — a reference to Israel’s illegal settlements — but the BOD brazenly denied the event was selling stolen land. Marketing stolen land But it was selling stolen land. This is a fact that even corporate state media has now been forced to acknowledge. This should surprise no one paying attention.

Unison gen-sec: Labour is ushering in fascist Reform UK

Andrea Egan, who took over in January as general secretary of Unison, has said that the Starmer government is ushering far-right Reform UK into power. The comments come as Unison’s annual conference begins today. Left-winger Egan ousted Christine McAnea in a vote of Unison members. McAnea had long been accused of prioritising the Labour right’s manoeuvres over the interests and democracy of Unison members. This week’s conference is Egan’s first in her new role. In an interview with the BBC’s Iain Watson, she said that the union had been a “sleeping giant” that had been “subservient” to Starmer’s Labour for far…

Mosque in Blackburn hit by arson attack, Starmer remains shtum

The Masjid-e-Quwwatul Islam mosque in Blackburn was set on fire last weekend. Keir Starmer, his government and the state-corporate media have been deafeningly silent about the arson attack. It was the latest of countless Islamophobic attacks in the UK. No ‘COBRA’ meeting. No emergency funding. Not even a word of condemnation from Number 10. ‘Mainstream’ media coverage was limited to a mention in the local press. Google’s search results show only a 2025 arson attack and an article about a separate attack on an Imam’s home: State contempt The Muslim Social Justice Initiative (MSJI) pointed out the stark difference in the…

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…

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…

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.…

Two Middlesbrough women who set a car on fire in the street, stole property and intimidated innocent local people during far-right riots received jail term of 20 and 22 months. They are already back out on the streets. Anti-genocide protesters who damaged weapons used to murder Palestinian civilians have been jailed for 6 years or more despite being found to have no violent intent. They were held in prison for longer before trial than Megan Davison was sentenced to: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Scott (@thebearded_skot) Far-right snowflakes The far-right loves to moan about ‘two-tier policing’.
