Israel’s fascist ‘security minister’ Itamar Ben-Gvir has said that no matter what is agreed between the US and Iran, Israel “cannot” stop demolishing civilian homes in Lebanon. This, supposedly, is because Israel “must” control the territory from which it has ethnically cleansed more than a million innocent Lebanese people: We cannot stop demolishing houses in southern Lebanon. We cannot stop. We cannot allow the residents of southern Lebanon to return. We must continue to control the territory even if we disagree with (US President Donald) Trump, we are an independent state. Ben-Gvir: We cannot stop destroying houses in southern Lebanon. We…

Andrea Egan, who took over in January as general secretary of Unison, has said that the Starmer government is ushering far-right Reform UK into power. The comments come as Unison’s annual conference begins today. Left-winger Egan ousted Christine McAnea in a vote of Unison members. McAnea had long been accused of prioritising the Labour right’s manoeuvres over the interests and democracy of Unison members. This week’s conference is Egan’s first in her new role. In an interview with the BBC’s Iain Watson, she said that the union had been a “sleeping giant” that had been “subservient” to Starmer’s Labour for far…

With grim predictability, the far-right US government has waded into the controversy surrounding the tragic death of Henry Nowak. A US State Department post on social media offered mealy-mouthed “condolences” to Henry’s family, though only after a tight string of fascist dogwhistles. In particular, the Trump administration repeated Farage’s ridiculous ‘two-tier’ anti-white policing claim. This is fitting, given the Reform UK leader shamelessly exploited Nowak’s murder to attack DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives. As the Canary previously pointed out, Farage clearly received this talking point directly from Trump’s fascist America. In the UK, ‘DEI’ is better known as ‘EDI’ (Equality, Diversity and…

Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick became unstuck when questioned about his party’s mass deportation plans. As commentators Mukhtar and Saul Staniforth highlighted, however, the focus on cost is frankly disgusting given the human element: Trevor Philips is a weird guy. https://t.co/qMcp4Dw9Je — Mukhtar (@I_amMukhtar) May 24, 2026 Reform — the cost Host Trevor Phillips put the following to Reform’s Robert Jenrick: [Zia] Yusuf wants to deport 1 billion illegal immigrants. That’s the number he says. The cost of each enforced return at the moment is about £49,000, which means that the cost of your deportation programme would work out at £50 billion.…
