Cape Verde lands another huge point as Group H thriller ends level

Cape Verde’s 2026 World Cup debut keeps gathering momentum. After shutting out Spain, Cape Verde backed it up with a fearless 2-2 draw against two‑time champions Uruguay in Miami, claiming a second Group H point. The team proved its opening night resilience was no fluke.   Cape Verde played with clarity, confidence and refused to be intimidated. They led, fell behind, then found a way back again. Uruguay had the pedigree, but the Blue Sharks had the conviction. Cape Verde player Pina strikes first Kevin Pina set the tone early. His long‑range free‑kick, hit with clean precision, went straight through Uruguay’s…

Starmer’s resignation speech is a list of his own failures

Keir Starmer announced his resignation as leader of the Labour Party this morning. As such, he’s also started the clock on stepping down as prime minister, once a new leader is decided. Of course, an impending leadership contest has been the worst kept secret in  Westminster for months now. In particular, leadership rival Andy Burnham’s victory in last week’s Makerfield by-election formed a very public blow to Starmer’s position. Likewise, though far less significantly, useless ex-health secretary, Wes Streeting, quit ahead of a leadership challenge back in May, with ex-armed forces minister, Al Carns, following in June. Nominations for the leadership…

War bonds and socialism ‘reassure’ Burnham’s financiers

When the press tells us we should be “reassured” by Andy Burnham’s economic team, we should be worried. Bloomberg’s headline says it all: Burnham’s Finance Friends Are a Reassuring Bunch What follows in the article is an admission that Burnham has surrounded himself with the very architects of the system that he is seemingly rebelling against.  These are the men reassuring the bond markets: Jim O’Neill (Goldman Sachs), Andy Haldane (Bank of England), and Richard Hughes (the hedge fund man). That should tell us everything we need to know. Bloomberg seemingly praises Andrew Haldane’s plans for “war bonds to boost defense spending”. They…

The Office Chair Features That Actually Matter When You Sit at a Desk All Day

A bad office chair does not usually feel bad straight away. At first, it looks like any other chair: it fits under the desk, rolls around easily enough and seems comfortable for the first hour or two. The problems tend to show up later, when the back support feels slightly off, the arms keep catching the desk, or the seat that felt fine in the morning starts to feel less forgiving by mid-afternoon. That is why colour, price and style only get you so far. The chair still has to work after someone has been sitting in it for hours. Start…

Starmer succeeded in shedding blood and destroying our rights – good riddance!

As expected, Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as the worst prime minister in modern British history. One whose only ‘successes’ have been on behalf of billionaires and the genocidal colony. Who waged war on our rights and helped spill the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocents. All to serve the interests of Israel and a club of billionaires who want each of us at their mercy. We come to bury Starmer’s legacy, not to praise it, because it deserves no praise. Meanwhile, the state-corporate media is now busy nauseatingly whitewashing it. Starmer’s ‘achievement’ of worst-ever comes after a decade…

The Whole Plate: a quiet rebellion against the ultra-processed food machine

More than half of what British adults eat is no longer really food. It’s product — engineered, emulsified, and sold back to us at a profit. One UK movement thinks the way out is gloriously simple. Let’s start with a number that should stop you mid-bite. 54% of the calories UK adults consume now come from ultra-processed food (UPF). For our children, it’s worse: 66% — the highest share in Europe. Two-thirds of what we feed the next generation isn’t grown, picked, or cooked. It’s manufactured. That isn’t an accident. It’s a business model. The system isn’t broken — it’s working…

Ireland confirms eagerness to wreck national military neutrality

Ireland’s defence minister has confirmed that her government is intent on tearing up the triple lock, which is key to Ireland’s official position of military neutrality. This and other similar moves are intended to make Ireland a more useful pawn for NATO and the US. Helen McEntee said there was “no ambiguity” about what the government wanted to do and described reform of the neutrality measure as “absolutely essential”. Her comments come in response to a backbench Fianna Fáil pushback, in which some told the Irish Times exactly the opposite — that the government has made no “reasoned explanation on the need for…

Trump humiliates Starmer and outs resignation

Donald Trump jumped the gun and confirmed Keir Starmer’s resignation early, in a brutally casual humiliation of the soon-to-be-ex PM. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Starmer would quit and, complete with shouty capitals, that Starmer had “failed badly” by not being even more racist and contemptuous of the environment. Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects – IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well! President DJT Trump’s behaviour shows Starmer has no further use As he usually does, Trump has no hesitation…

The 2026 World Cup is on the verge of breaking own goals record

Own goals have become one of the most striking phenomena of the 2026 World Cup, with eight own goals scored in the tournament’s opening days alone – a figure that puts the current edition on course to break the record set at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The US team benefited more than any other from this phenomenon after their opponents scored two own goals in two consecutive matches against Paraguay and Australia – a development that highlights the significant impact such goals are now having on match results. The list of players who scored own goals included Paraguay’s Damian…

The Orwellian nightmare facing Lebanon’s journalists

Lebanon — Content warning: Some of the links in this feature connect to upsetting videos On March 18th of this year British anchorman for RT Steve Sweeney went viral after narrowly cheating death on camera. A 500-pound guided bomb aimed at him and his cameraman hit just feet away. Luckily, it landed in an existing crater sending the blast upwards instead of outwards which would have torn them both to shreds. In the early hours of the same day, the Israelis assassinated 80-year-old al-Manar TV News political editor Mohamad Sherri with a drone strike on his apartment in central Beirut. It…

Coach change didn’t save Tunisia

Tunisia did not wait long after the heavy 5-1 loss to Sweden, deciding to change their coach before the second round, hoping to save their chances of competing for a qualifying spot. However, what happened against Japan confirmed that the problem was deeper than just a technical change, as the “Eagles of Carthage” fell 4-0 and were officially eliminated from the 2026 World Cup after only two rounds. Tunisia’s exit was accompanied by a series of unprecedented negative statistics, turning the current participation into one of the most difficult editions in the national team’s history on the global stage. First to…

Alleged rapist Andrew Tate to fund rape gang documentary

On 17 June, Restore Britain published its ‘Rape Gang Inquiry Report’. In the aftermath, critics accused the authors of using fraudulent figures and selective data to present an Islamophobic narrative. Defenders, meanwhile, used the report to push Islamophobic narratives — essentially backing up the argument of the critics. The notable thing about the report’s defenders is that many of them are ardent sexists themselves. Among them is Andrew Tate; the key driver of global misogyny in the early 2020s: cc: https://t.co/fHRFI9DGK9 — Neo (@Neo__Hq) June 17, 2026 Using victims Restore’s report included testimony from real victims, but it also: Included a…

Digital creator spreads racist misinfo following Bootle attack

Merseyside Police have spoken out after a ‘digital creator’ spread “rumours and misinformation” relating to a violent incident. Since then, the Merseyside Anti-Fascist Network have drawn attention to the creator herself: This all comes as far-right politicians and agitators have upped their attempts to capitalise off Islamophobia. Digital Creator — “Rumours and misinformation” Merseyside Police posted the following regarding the incident: We would ask people to avoid spreading rumours and misinformation in relation to an incident involving a delivery driver and a large group of youths in Bootle yesterday evening, Friday 19 June.

Burnham proposes land value tax as progressive voters sour on him

Speaking to Andrew Marr, Andy Burnham has suggested he wants to introduce wealth taxes in the UK: I'm no fan of Andy, but a land value tax is fucking based. https://t.co/AxK7i70YSt — Curtis Daly (@CurtisDaly_) June 20, 2026 If he delivers on this, it would be a more progressive direction for Labour than what we got under Keir Starmer. And there’s reason for Andy Burnham to talk up such policies, because the signs are that progressive voters are already losing patience with him.

Humza Yousaf blames Tommy Robinson for Islamophobic attack

Tommy Robinson — On 20 June, police arrested a man after he allegedly attacked several individuals in Edinburgh. In the course of being arrested, the man in question claimed he was “protecting the country from these f*cking Muslim b*stards”. Responding to the attack, former first minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf blamed “Rupert Lowe, Tommy Robinson and their ilk”. Tommy Robinson in turn pointed to the ‘Rape Gang Inquiry Report’ produced by Restore Britain, which contained fabricated figures about the number of white women raped by Muslim men: Right on cue, the anti white parasites blame the truth speakers, not the truth…

In final U-turn, Starmer now set to resign

It was no secret that Andy Burnham would seek to replace Keir Starmer should he win the Makerfield by-election. After he achieved victory, though — exceeding even the most optimistic polling — Starmer did not go gently into that good night. Instead, he said in no uncertain terms that he would fight Burnham in any leadership challenge. At this moment in time, a leadership challenge would have proven to be very damaging for the Labour Party. Because this is Keir Starmer we’re talking about, though, it looks like Burnham doesn’t have to worry. Because true to form, Starmer has now U-turned…

Scottish courts further denigrate rights for trans people with prison ruling

Scotland’s highest civil court has ruled that guidance allowing some trans women to be housed in women’s prisons was unlawful. This is undoubtedly another setback in an increasingly hostile environment for trans people across the UK. It is incredible how fast the legal arguments fall in line once political appetite changes. And now that fascism is creeping across the UK, clearly the most vulnerable communities are facing the sharpest end of oppression. Human rights for some The Court of Session ruled that Scottish prison guidance was unlawful because it allowed some trans women to be accommodated in the women’s estate following…
