Deranged US Senator Graham is keeping his Abraham Accords dream alive

Zionist Republican Senator Lindsey Graham continued to post on X that the expansion of the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is his and Trump’s ultimate goal. He said he had a fruitful conversation with fellow envoy Steve Witkoff According to Graham, the MOU with Iran is just the first step. He wants to use it as a way to eventually expand the Abraham Accords and get Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel. Announced in 2020, these accords established diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab states, beginning with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain.…

Indigenous people in Kenya reject attempts to re-start troubled carbon credit project

A carbon credit project which Meta and Netflix have used stands accused of coercion of Indigenous people. Indigenous people in Northern Kenya have accused the controversial conservation organisation Northern Rangelands Trust of “tricks and dishonest dealings”. And they’ve denounced its attempt to revive its notorious and twice-suspended Northern Kenya Grassland Carbon Project. Northern Rangelands Trust is pushing Indigenous communities in the project area to sign agreements that it presents as a solution to the project’s crisis but could in fact further reduce community control over their ability to graze their livestock, and to manage their own lands. Maasai and Rendille people…

Council admits guga hunt ‘not in full compliance’ with food safety laws

Officials say they are aware the traditional guga hunt operates outside current food safety regulations. But they claim that enforcing the law is impractical. The guga hunt is the UK’s last legal seabird hunt. Every year, the “Men of Ness” travel to the remote island of Sula Sgeir to kill up to 2,000 flightless gannet chicks, which locals call guga. The birds are slaughtered and butchered on the island before being transported back to the Isle of Lewis where they are sold and consumed. Historically, the hunt provided an important source of food for isolated island communities. Today, however, it continues…

Upholding Palestine Action ban risks stifling dissent, Quakers warn

The Court of Appeal has ruled that the government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group was lawful. This overturns an earlier High Court judgment. But Quakers and others have warned that the ruling risks stifling dissent. They have long argued that the Terrorism Act, introduced in 2000, is overly broad and threatens civil liberties particularly where it extends to property damage, placing the UK outside international norms. Five senior judges on Monday 15 June backed the home secretary’s position on Palestine Action. This allows the ban to remain in force despite widespread criticism and a civil disobedience campaign…

Mahmood’s new bill on national security an “alarming expansion of state power”

Jeremy Corbyn has slammed Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s new National Security (State Threats) Bill, branding it an “alarming expansion of state power” that poses a “grave risk” to civil liberties. The Bill is being fast-tracked through all three readings in the House of Commons on Wednesday. The Bill would amend the National Security Act 2023 to introduce a power for the Home Secretary to designate bodies involved in “foreign power threat activity” by regulation, if they believe it is necessary for the safety or interests of the UK. The National Security (State Threats) Bill is an alarming expansion of state power,…

Survivor hopes to deliver SHAME to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

A survivor of rape is attempting to return ‘Shame’ to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Dolly Sen has carved the word “SHAME” out of wood. She’s then covered it in facts and figures about rape in the UK, as well as quotes from survivors. And she’ll attempt to deliver the art piece to Windsor or to his home in Norfolk. Sen says: I am doing this for Virginia, for Gisèle, for myself, and for the 2000 women who be raped this week and the vast majority will have no justice. Gisèle Pelicot requested a public trial of the more than 50 men who…

Climate action could sway half of young voters in the UK

Half of young people under 34 in the UK say they would be more likely to vote for a government that upholds the UK’s climate commitments. This is a finding of new research by Kantar for the Fairtrade Foundation. Fairtrade is warning that climate change is putting everyday staples under growing pressure and threatening the livelihoods of the next generation of farmers. Ahead of London Climate Action Week, the charity is launching Fair on the Planet, the second moment in its 2026 Do It Fair campaign. It’ll highlight how farmers growing products such as coffee, tea, cocoa and bananas are already facing…

Only the Green Party has responded to a Makerfield public ownership pledge launched today, explaining which local public services they would take back if elected. Andy Burnham has not clarified his position, despite his critique of privatisation in recent weeks. Campaign group We Own It asked the six main Makerfield candidates for their positions on public ownership of water, energy and buses, as well as a local BlackRock deal with Greater Manchester Pension Fund to buy up GP surgeries. Nearly 10,000 emails have been sent to the candidates over the weekend to put pressure on them to reveal their policies. This…

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:…

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.

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.

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…

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…

Unite — Sharon Graham’s call for looser fiscal rules to fund military spending was slammed by Stop the War’s officer, Shabbir Lakha.

Lakha pointed out that the government is already cutting 1% of all capital budgets to pay for this defence hike, and that Healey resigned to demand even more. He slammed her, as the leader of one of the biggest unions in the country, for actively…
