India completed a 3-0 T20I sweep of Zimbabwe in Harare as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi struck another fluent half-century, sealing a result that also returned India to the top of the T20i rankings and nudged England down to second. The 15-year-old left-hander, already the standout story of India’s white-ball summer, produced an assured and inventive 81 from 49 balls, an innings featuring four sixes and eight fours and underpinned by crisp timing and controlled aggression. His latest effort followed the 19-ball fifty he hammered in Thursday’s series opener, making this his second half-century in three innings on the tour. It also reinforced the impression…

Pat McFadden, the leader of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is already working to set the media agenda ahead of the full publication of two flagship reports in the autumn. Inevitably, he’s bleating about ‘supporting’ people with health conditions to get into work. In a 15 July interview with the Guardian, McFadden stated that his department had already begun its work in advance of the final reports: Even before they’ve reported, I’m already speaking to the Department for Education [and] the Department for Health. We’re going to have to respond to this as a government. It’s my job to…

Israel has again shown its contempt for the very idea of a ceasefire, with at least four murderous airstrikes on Gaza City today. Last week, the occupation murdered the director of Egypt’s aid mission to Gaza, in evident retaliation for the Egyptian football team manager’s show of solidarity with Palestine. On Sunday 12 July 2026, Israel hit a home in a densely-populated civilian area of Gaza City with at least four missiles in quick succession: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hamdan Dahdouh (@hamdaneldahdouh) Israel — One street, three bombings And in a further horrifying display of the…

DWP controlling narratives again The interim report was released this morning, and the Canary will bring you more analysis on that once we’ve digested all 74 pages of it. If the Milburn Review report and the Neurodivergent conditions reports are anything to go by, it won’t yield the results the DWP wanted. Ahead of the Milburn Review, the media ran rolling, breaking news…

The Starmer regime is looking to force YouTube and other online media platforms to force-feed users with government-approved media and make it harder to find independent sources. This is a naked escalation in his war on information the state does not like. YouTube is warning creators that the planned new rules will: include mandatory changes to how content is discovered on YouTube. Exactly what the regime is planning to promote at the cost of independent sources is made clear by the consultation page on the government website: This includes: • interventions to support an informed society.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has dropped all ‘Zionist’-related charges against Canary anti-genocide activist Ani Says. Again. The Israel lobby has continually pressured the CPS to keep trying to criminalise Ani on multiple occasions, but the attempts keep failing. In a statement on Instagram, the Canary said: The CPS has DROPPED all charges relating to “Zionism” that were brought against Canary journalist @anisaysbackup. These spurious allegations were once again instigated by the Zionist lobby – and once again the CPS bowed down. But the justice system has seen sense.

A leaked recording of senior Israeli military officers – and fascist ‘security minister’ Itamar Ben-Gvir – has again proven that Israel ordered the killing of its own people on 7 October 2023. This is the so-called Hannibal Directive. The short clip was released with English subtitles at the weekend by independent journalist @ireallyhateyou, but first aired on Israel’s Channel 12 in February 2026. It shows Israel’s police command centre as it responded to the unfolding Palestinian raid across the border into southern Israel. S/he said of the clip: In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, while conversing with Israel’s Police…

Reform MP-hopeful Robert Kenyon lost in the Makerfield by-election by over 9,000 votes, which is likely to have left the far-right party feeling pretty sore. However, most who face such a defeat would look to where they didn’t hit the mark with voters — but not grievance-fueling Reform UK whose MPs and leader have come out blaming Starmer’s abysmal leadership for why they didn’t win enough votes to secure the seat. The bigoted party’s deputy leader came first, with Richard Tice telling the BBC that people who actually wanted to vote Reform wound up voting for Labour ‘because they had to’.…
