Burnham slams ‘desperate’ Farage over vile AI slop-post

On 30 May, Nigel Farage posted the latest in a long line of dehumanising political ads. Reacting with more good humour than Farage deserved, Makerfield candidate Andy Burnham responded as follows: Are you getting desperate, lad? Maybe keep your crypto millions for something else. — Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) May 30, 2026 Using refugees as pawns like this shows that Farage lacks any empathy whatsoever. And if he cares this little for the people who are most in need, we’ve got bad news for anyone deluded enough to think he cares about them. Nasty Nigel Farage later highlighted what he was talking…

Trump loses it as US’s 250th Anniversary plans collapse

Trump — As we find ourselves in the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, the country is more American than ever. This isn’t a compliment, of course, but it is a way of introducing the chaos we’re seeing around the anniversary planning — chaos even right-wingers are calling out: I’m actually pretty pissed at how badly they’ve bungled America 250. First they tried to invite Milli Vanilli and a bunch of other absurdly washed up geriatric one hit wonders. Then when that didn’t work they decided to convert the event into a Trump rally where Trump will talk… https://t.co/lYo2jUWOLy — Matt Walsh…

US Congress moves to merge US and Israeli militaries — with Israel ‘leading’

A bill before the US Congress seeks to essentially merge the US and Israeli militaries — with many saying it puts the IOF in the driving seat. Many would say the IOF already is, of course. The ‘United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative’ has been described as a “sweeping proposal” to merge the two militaries to an “unprecedented degree”. Foreign policy thinktank Responsible Statecraft said that “Section 224”: lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of US-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. Others put it more succinctly, like Arab-Jewish ‘ex-Israeli’ analyst…

A correction and apology regarding Reform councillor David Barker

On 8 May, the Canary published an article entitled “Sunderland Reform councillor David Barker allegedly beat up his girlfriend and abused child”. The piece incorrectly stated that Barker was the same individual who was given a suspended sentence in 2019 at South Tyneside magistrates’ court for assault and causing actual bodily harm to his girlfriend. The Canary published this based on information it had at that time. Since then, Barker has reached out to us and provided information categorically showing that he is not the same man who was sentenced in 2019. The Canary would like to unreservedly apologise to Barker,…

Government washes hands of raising minimum wage for young people

In 2024, Labour pledged to equalise the minimum wage across all age bands. Now, a senior minister has claimed that the act of governing is completely out of the hands of government: Page 45 of Labours 2024 manifesto stated: "Labour will also remove the discriminatory age bands so all adults are entitled to the same minimum wage" Pat McFadden is asked, when are you going to do this? McFadden says its not up to the govt to do it. pic.twitter.com/RSVJaZvf7x — Saul Staniforth (@SaulStaniforth) May 31, 2026 Has there ever been a government as comfortable with u-turning as the Starmer regime?…

Mbappe and the Champions League curse: Paris rules Europe after his departure

For years, the European project of Paris Saint-Germain was inextricably linked to the name Kylian Mbappe. Since joining the club in 2017, the French striker became the most prominent face of the Parisian dream in the UEFA Champions League, while the club’s management spent billions in an effort to finally win the trophy that had eluded them. During that period, rumors constantly linked Mbappe with Real Madrid, a club historically synonymous with the continental competition. While Paris sought to retain its star to complete its European ambitions, the player continued to view a transfer to the Spanish capital as the quickest…

Watch: Netherlands police thug brutally flings pregnant Palestinian woman backwards to floor

A Netherlands police thug has been caught on camera viciously throwing a visibly pregnant Palestinian asylum-seeker backwards to the floor in an unprovoked attack. Several other officers stood by and did nothing to prevent the attack or to restrain the thug afterward. The attack was perpetrated on 29 May 2026 in an asylum centre in Zeist, near Amsterdam. It is yet another example of European state brutality toward refugees and and anti-genocide activists: https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/nl-thug-asylum.mp4 Netherlands — Early birth The video quickly went viral.

Police offered Manchester cafe owner cash, immunity to grass on Palestine Action

Greater Manchester Police offered cafe-owner Shams Sadiq cash — and carte blanche to commit ‘certain’ crimes — if he would inform on anti-genocide group Palestine Action (PA) and his fellow Muslims. Sadiq, from Didsbury, was approached when he went to collect devices the police had confiscated after a 2025 raid connected to the group. The Starmer regime unlawfully banned PA as a terror group in 2025 at the behest of the Israeli government and lobby groups. The government is still trying to overturn the High Court’s ruling that the ban breached human and free speech rights. Police continue to arrest people…

Rumours swirl of an early election if Burnham wins

Andy Burnham is running to become the MP for Makerfield, Wigan. As everyone knows, if Burnham wins, he’ll challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership, becoming the PM if he succeeds. Given that Labour has a huge majority and the party doesn’t have to call an election until 2029, most assume he won’t go to the polls early. If rumours are to be believed, however, he might be eyeing one up: EXCL: Andy Burnham is considering holding a snap general election if he becomes PM.https://t.co/4vTIQ2oH5Y — Kate Ferguson (@kateferguson4) May 30, 2026 Wargaming The latest rumours comes from the Sun, and…

Royals knew about Andrew’s dodgy trade envoy dealings 6 years ago

Buckingham Palace had emails six years ago showing the queen’s second son, Andrew, was abusing his position as UK trade envoy. It was a position the late queen had pressured the government into giving the Epstein pal formerly known as Prince Andrew. Court documents have revealed that the family had an archive of information since 2020 concerning Mountbatten-Windsor’s sharing of information with banking scion Jonathan Rowland. Andrew had told his serial child-rapist friend Jeffrey Epstein that Rowland’s “shady” banker father David was his “main money man”. Emails released in the US Justice Department’s Epstein files show Andrew, as trade envoy, trying…

Revolution Is Female at P21

Nearly two years on from Art of Palestine: from the river to the sea, Rasha Eleyan is back at London’s P21 with her own solo exhibition: Revolution Is Female. The Palestinian artist explores the vital role women play in the Palestinian liberation movement. Pop-inflected style Eleyan’s style is very distinctive. The daughter of Palestinian artist Nasr Abdelaziz, Rasha had access to a well-stocked library of books on animation she would copy from: Abdelaziz had studied animation in London in the 1970s. But where his style is figurative, focusing on traditional life in Palestine, Rasha’s paintings have a distinct pop art influence.…

Police say critique of non-Jewish Mirren’s politics ‘hate’ but ignore actual hate

The Met Police is investigating a clip of an anti-genocide protester criticising actor Helen Mirren’s Zionism as a hate crime. Mirren is a supporter of Israel and who wants it to last “for eternity”, but is not Jewish. Zionism is a political ideology – one that is intrinsically racist, ethno-supremacist and, as shown everywhere around Israel, murderous. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LPC (@landpalestine) Mirren is not ethnically Jewish and is on record describing herself as an atheist. Contrary to media and pro-Israel narratives, many Jews are not Zionist. In fact, within a few years a majority…

SAS didn’t refer Afghanistan atrocity allegations to police in case it upset soldiers

Commanders of the UK military’s most elite special forces didn’t refer war crimes allegations to police, an inquiry has heard. The reasons they decided not to may astound our readers: an anonymous senior officer said that there were fears doing so might upset SAS troops. The inquiry has been going on for several years. Current and former Special Air Service (SAS) personnel have been granted anonymity to give evidence. The inquiry concerns allegations that innocent Afghan civilians were murdered in 2011. Some allegations suggest detainees were handcuffed before being executed. And that weapons seized elsewhere were placed on their bodies to…

Private water company leaves thousands dry amid record May heatwave

One privately-owned water company left thousands of people in south-east England dry and thirsty this week. This comes amid one of Britain’s hottest-ever May heatwaves. South East Water, which covers much of Kent, left over 8,000 people without any tap water. The company claimed that nearby reservoirs at Whitstable were at a “critical level” due to “extremely high demand”. The company’s six-figure CEO David Hinton stepped down from his position in early May over consistent failures, shortages and outages but will remain in-post to allow an orderly transition over the summer period. That and, presumably, to keep earning a slice of…
