Labour pushing bill to legalise ‘dark money’ political bribery

Keir Starmer’s Labour party is trying to push a bill through Parliament that amounts to legalising bribery. Hollow corpse stuffed with cash Clause 60 of the Representation of the People bill will remove caps on political donations and de-couple donations from companies’ UK taxable profits. Starmer has already pulled murky political tricks to mask its passage so far. He is ignoring almost all the recommendations of Labour’s own already-weak ‘Rycroft Review‘ into foreign political interference. UK state-corporate media are ignoring the bill. This video from the Canary explains: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Canary (@thecanaryuk) Starmer already…

Ben-Gvir wants to ban Mosque loudspeakers, citing precious “sleep”

Ben-Gvir is eagerly sharing cheap content online to fan the flames of incendiary views against Palestinians. In his latest cringe-worthy video, he complains that the Islamic call to prayer disrupts his sleep and threatens to “put an end to the noise.” For Muslims worldwide, the call to prayer — also known as adhan — holds a central place in daily life. It not only invites worship but carries profound spiritual significance, and is now the latest target of Israel’s discriminatory policies. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir complaining about the volume of the Islamic call to prayer (Adhan) from mosques. "Enough!…

Sporting boycott votes fail as Irish government backs ‘Israel’

The Irish government has again come to so-called ‘Israel’s’ aid by voting down two Dáil motions, to combat the genocidaires’ continued participation in international sport. The Social Democrats introduced a motion entitled Exclusion of Israel from Sporting Fixtures, calling for: …Israel to be excluded from all international sporting competitions, as long as the genocide and illegal occupation continues; They were joined by Sinn Féin, who focused on Ireland’s upcoming Nations League fixture against the land thieves, scheduled for October. The Stop the Game Campaign and FAI Participation in Matches against Israel have called on the government to “uphold its obligations under…

“Time to pipe down” — Polanski hits back at Musk’s racist attack

Green party leader Zack Polanski has continued to stand up to billionaire Elon Musk, while Musk continues to incite hate and attack Polanski for resisting. On 10 June, as Musk again bent and ignored reality to stir up white-supremacist hate toward immigrants, Polanski described Musk’s support for “violence and extremism” as a “threat to our democracy”: This man is a threat to our democracy. He backs violence and extremism. Blaming a group of people for the awful actions of an individual leads us to a very dark place. Musk, Lowe, Farage, Robinson – these men don’t give a shit about this…

Erratic Donald Trump cancels further Iran strikes claiming progress on talks

US president Donald Trump said he had cancelled planned strikes on Iran. The desperate president, who is flailing and failing to find an off-ramp from the war he started, took to social media to announce the move. Trump said: Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. Adding: Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved,…

Amnesty reports shows Israel is erasing Palestinians from the West Bank

Human rights NGO Amnesty International says Israel is erasing everything Palestinian from the West Bank. The group warned that it is the Israeli state leading the ethnic cleansing — not rogue settlers. Israeli violence in the West Bank has accelerated alongside the Gaza genocide. Amnesty’s report is titled ‘Erasing anything Palestinian: Israel’s ethnic cleansing of West Bank Bedouin and herding communities‘. It can be read in full here. Among the major findings was that: Ethnic cleansing campaign is Israeli state-led, and state-sponsored, not driven by rogue settlers or so-called extremist ministers. And that there has been an: Exponential rise in state-backed…

International trans health bodies express “deep concern” for NHS ban on HRT for under-18s

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and its European counterpart (EPATH) have issued a joint statement expressing their “deep concern” regarding NHS plans to suspend hormone prescriptions for trans under-18s in England. On 9 March, NHS England published a draft clinical policy outlining its plan for public consultation. In essence, it proposed that: MAF (masculinising and feminising) Hormones are not recommended to be available as a routine commissioning option through the NHS Children and Young People’s Gender Service. This represents a sharp break from the current clinical policy, which was itself updated in 2024 in a knee-jerk response to…

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…

Pro-Palestine protester ‘Big Ben Dan’ found guilty

‘Big Ben Dan’ Day has been found guilty of ‘public nuisance’ at Southwark Crown Court after climbing the parliamentary tower in March 2025. Day’s 17-hour protest was against Israel’s Gaza genocide and against state-sanctioned police violence against peaceful protest. Big Ben Dan — “Serious disruption” The state claims Day caused a £67,000 public bill, some lost bus fares and “serious disruption”. Not as big as Israel’s genocide has caused to millions of innocent Palestinians and surely that’s the point of protest. But that’s the UK state’s priority as Keir Starmer wages war on anti-genocide speech and protest. Supporters chanted “Free Palestine”…

Hegseth postures over Cuba as US pressures Colombian president over Mamdani meeting

US defence secretary Pete Hegseth openly threatened Cuba during a visit to the colonial military base at Guantanamo Bay. Hegseth told a captive audience of American soldiers that Cuba had better not try and get long-range weapons. The US has been ramping up threats against the island state. Meanwhile, US officials have forced Colombia’s left-wing president Gustavo Petro not to meet New York mayor Zohran Mamdani. The Guardian reported on 10 June that Hegseth said: It would be unwise for the government of Cuba to try to procure or get access to the types of weapons that could reach this base…

Ealing could’ve had 14 more left-wing wins with Indy-Green collaboration

The Green Party did well in the 2026 local elections, especially in London. In Ealing, for example, it got five new councillors. But if it had worked together with local left-wing independents, the borough could have gained at least 14 extra progressive councillors, pulling significant power away from Labour. Instead, Labour kept control. Indy-Green collaboration could make a massive difference in Ealing In the local elections, the Green Party focused on the less diverse and more expensive Hanwell Broadway ward. All three of its candidates defeated Labour there. Ealing Community Independents (ECI) candidates, meanwhile, stood in poorer and more diverse wards,…

More animal welfare charities call for an end to the guga hunt

Two leading animal welfare organisations are calling on the new Scottish parliament to end the annual guga hunt on Sula Sgeir. They’ve published a new report stating that the hunt cannot be considered humane, despite a NatureScot licence condition that requires killing must be carried out humanely. This adds to the campaigning work of Protect the Wild, whose founder Rob Pownall ran for the Scottish parliament dressed as a gannet. Animal Welfare and the Guga Hunt comes out as NatureScot considers a fresh licence application for the 2026 hunt. The topic is also due to for consideration by the Scottish parliament…

Unison sounds the alarm on workplaces scrapping trans-inclusive policies

Andrea Egan, general secretary of Unison, has written to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to highlight the fact that workplaces across the country have already begun to withdraw their previous trans-inclusive policies. After multiple failed attempts, the EHRC laid its current draft code of practice before Parliament. The guidance is now undergoing a 40-day period of scrutiny, after which MPs can choose to accept or reject it. The draft code calls for service providers to exclude trans people from single-sex spaces reflecting their gender, and also often those of their sex assigned at birth. The government’s own impact assessment has…

Global banks finance fossil fuel with $8.7tn since the Paris Agreement

Major banks are putting increasing amounts of money into fossil fuel. 2025 saw nearly $1tn of investment in fossil fuel companies, even as energy instability is deepening the global cost-of-living crisis. The 17th edition of the Banking on Climate Chaos (BOCC) report finds that the world’s 65 largest banks committed $906bn to fossil fuel companies in 2025. This was an increase of 8% from the previous year. Since the Paris Agreement a decade ago, these banks have channelled $8.7tn into oil, gas, and coal operations. The report is the world’s most comprehensive open-source dataset on fossil fuel financing by commercial banks.…

Vape deposit scheme could recover £6.3m worth of lithium and copper annually

Despite 2025’s disposable vape ban, 6.3m vapes and pods still get chucked away every week in the UK. This has prompted fresh calls for a deposit return scheme for vaping products. Disposable vapes are an example of a product that creates a lucrative market with no apparent thought for the environmental cost. Each unit includes plastic for the casing, copper wiring in the circuitry and lithium in the battery. While the ban on disposable vapes has helped to reduce the number purchased per week, with a 31% reduction, 6.3m vapes and pods are still being binned each week. Alongside this, reports…
