Right-wing newspapers are blaming Europe’s blazing wildfires on anything but climate change and its human-made causes. As almost every scientist (>99%) agrees, fossil fuels primarily cause climate change. But that doesn’t stop the likes of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Times, Telegraph, or Daily Mail from deflecting beyond parody. (As a reminder, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp owns the first two of these.) Europe is burning, badly As wildfires spread across Europe, hundreds of thousands are evacuating homes. We’re on track to see 500,000 hectares burned within weeks. The fires have killed at least 32 people, but the heat is the real killer. In…

When my copy of ‘The LUSH Guide to Knot Wrap’ dropped through my letterbox, I didn’t expect it to entirely change my outlook on Christmas. Weird sentence, isn’t it? But somehow this book managed it. The LUSH Guide to Knot Wrap Did you know that every year, the UK throws away around 227,000 miles of single-use wrapping paper? That is enough bleached, dyed and sellotaped trash to stretch from your living room, all the way to the moon. We buy this crap paper, which is made from felled trees, and it’s covered in metallic inks, making it unrecyclable. We wrap all…

Another 12 July commemoration has now passed in the north of Ireland, leaving behind a trail of bile, death, pollution and charred remains of homes. The yearly knuckle-dragging is a sectarian festival marking the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, in which Protestant king, William III, defeated Catholic king, James II. The hate-fest lasted longer than usual, with bonfire groups lighting some pyres on 9 July, and parades not taking place until 13 July due to 12 July falling on a Sunday this year. The first major disgrace was the Moygashel Bonfire Association’s torching of a replica mosque. Deputy leader of…

A senior party member quietly toured occupied Syrian territory and visited extremists’ police headquarters with a sanctioned far-right minister — a newly leaked financial trails reveal. This disgusting state-funded delegation completely shatters the party’s anti-establishment myth before it’s even gotten off the ground. Spinning a lobbying web This pricey trip is not an isolated incident. The Israeli state is hedging its bets and aggressively courting Reform UK as it surges in public opinion polls. Leaked data bills the trip to…

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…
