The Canary is now in a financially precarious situation. We do not know when our money that Lloyds is holding will be returned. Moreover, we do not know how it will affect our ability to get another bank account in the future. Lloyds give no…

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.

A court in Geneva has confirmed that peaceful opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a legitimate right. As Palestinian exile Muzna Shihabi notes, the landmark decision: Acknowledges that a genocide is underway. Rules that nothing justifies sanctioning peaceful activists. Confirms that freedom of expression protects non-violent civil disobedience and that repressing these mobilizations is incompatible with democracy. A lesson for the genocide-enabling Starmer government and its war on free speech and peaceful protest, as respondents are already noting: @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP Imagine how it must feel to finish your day in the knowledge that your actions let you sleep with a…
