Polanski says Burnham must dump Israel, and recognise genocide, for Greens’ help

Green party leader Zack Polanski has given presumptive new Labour leader and PM Andy Burnham an ultimatum over Israel. Polanski, Britain’s only Jewish party leader, has said that Burnham must dump Israel and recognise the Gaza genocide — anything less is a red line. In remarks after a university speech, the Green party leader said that Burnham’s apparent multiple personalities over key issues was a problem. Some versions would be a natural partner for the Greens, while others would be impossible — and the early signs are worsening: We genuinely don’t know which version of Andy Burnham turns up. I can see…

10 years on, what did (leaving) the EU ever do for the NHS?

This week, as of 23 June, marks ten years since the UK public voted for Brexit — that is, to leave the European Union. Predictably, given that it was orchestrated by the likes of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, it’s been a proper shitshow – and there are few areas where that’s been more visible than the NHS. One of the many cheap slogans of the Leave campaign, which now seems seared into the national consciousness, was: We send the EU £350 million a week. Let’s fund our NHS instead – Vote Leave. Two loosely-connected statements — one factual, one speculative…

Controversy over pride flags planned for Egypt – Iran Match

The anticipated match between the Egyptian and Iranian national teams at the 2026 World Cup has transformed from a long-awaited football event into a widespread controversy, after the FIFA insisted on allowing Pride flags inside stadiums. This comes as both the Egyptian and Iranian Football Associations have objected to linking the match with any events or promotional activities related to homosexuality. The newspaper The Athletic revealed that the crisis stems from the decision of the local organizing committee in Seattle to assign a special designation to the match as part of events coinciding with the city’s annual Pride Week. This occurred…

White House requests $67bn for Iran war — where it already declared victory

The White House house has now asked Congress to grant a funding request for $87.6bn, some $67bn of which will go straight to the US ‘War Department’. For the most part, the massive bill is directly related to “urgent needs” regarding the war in Iran. The news comes after the US Senate passed its symbolic War Powers Resolution on 23 June. Four Republicans supported the resolution, which nominally forbids Trump from continuing hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. However, it doesn’t carry the weight of law. Likewise, it also follows over a week after both Trump and Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkianset…

NATO chief grovels to Trump, credits EU bases for illegal US strikes on Iran

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has claimed that between 4,000 and 5,000 US planes took off from European bases during Trump’s illegal war against Iran. Trying to ease Trump’s disappointment at Europe’s lack of enthusiasm for Trump’s deranged war, Rutte said: I would argue it would have been very difficult to do Iran without having Europe as a power projection platform for the United States. Sitting beside President Donald Trump on Wednesday at the White House, Rutte repeatedly praised the US leader as the “leader of the free world.” He described Trump as taking “responsibility beyond the shores of the United States.”…

Labour’s Burgon to bring debate to Parliament to ban lucrative side gigs for MPs

Labour’s Burgon to bring debate to Parliament to ban lucrative side gigs for MPs

Labour MP Richard Burgon has secured a debate in Parliament which will consider banning second jobs for all MPs. Whilst some MPs insist their roles in healthcare and law should be continued alongside MP responsibilities, this loophole has enabled other greedy MPs to turn to lucrative side gigs which bring their priorities into question. For instance, Burgon cites Farage pocketing more than £1m since being elected in “outside work” despite MPs being afforded a pretty high salary from the public purse placing them firmly in the top 1% of earners. Other reports have said that figure is actually £2m. He says:…

Children behind bars for life — the human cost of ‘British justice’

The UK state traps vulnerable children in a brutal cycle of lifetime incarceration, and exposes a system that rejects the idea of rehabilitation entirely. This disgusting model our nation follows separates us from the rest of Western Europe, where sticking kids in cages for life is banned. At a London panel hosted by the campaign group Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association (JENGbA) on Friday 19 June 2026 saw mothers, lawyers and former child lifers tell their stories. And it ripped my heart out. JENGbA campaigns tirelessly to end child life sentences and their testimonies exposed a racist, ableist nightmare under…

SNP ex-chief Peter Murrell sentenced to five years for embezzlement

The Scottish National Party (SNP)’s former chief executive Peter Murrell has finally been sentenced for his conviction of embezzlement. The SNP bigwig was handed a five-year custodial sentence, or prison time, for the crime to which he pleaded guilty. Murrell is the estranged husband of SNP ex-party leader and former Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon. He accepted responsibility for embezzling £400,000 of SNP party funds for personal purchases over 12 years. The 61-year-old had doctored invoices and falsified SNP accounting records to cover up how he was misusing party funds. He embezzled money to buy luxuries (like a £3500 silver wine…

Starmer was even more dangerous for disabled people than the Tories

Well, that’s it, Starmer has finally shuffled off. From behind his sad beige podium, the sad beige prime minister announced he would be resigning. Speaking outside Downing Street, Starmer boasted about ending austerity and working to improve Britain for all. However, for disabled people, Starmer’s short reign was even more dangerous than the Tories. When Labour got in, it was a small glimmer of hope; surely they couldn’t be as cruel as the Tories? But Starmer heard that and went ‘hold my beer’. Starmer’s Labour far crueller than the Tories From the outset, Starmer’s government has been focused on change for…

Filton judge issues new contempt proceedings for informing jury of law

Jeremy Johnson is the security services-linked judge who sentenced four ‘Filton 25’ activists as terrorists for trying to prevent mass murder. He is also the judge who tried to convict Rajiv Menon KC, one of the defence lawyers, for contempt of court. The appeal court had upheld Menon’s appeal, on procedural grounds, against the first charge Johnson brought, but also said Johnson could award himself the right to try again if he ticked the right boxes. And he is trying again. He has even decided he can bring the case as ‘summary proceedings”, despite there being no urgency. The case will…

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…

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…

The 2026 World Cup witnessed the first sending-off in football history under the new law regarding covering the mouth during altercations between players, after the referee showed a direct red card to Paraguay national team player Miguel Almirón during the match against the Turkey national team. The decision came after a review by the VAR, which showed Almirón covering his mouth with his hand during a heated verbal exchange with a Turkish player, an action the referee deemed a clear violation of the amendment that came into effect a few months before the start of the tournament.

Fresh disgrace for GAA: sponsor Allianz are Israel’s biggest foreign backer

The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is set to come under renewed pressure for its disgraceful failure to cease its sponsorship agreement with backer of the ‘Israeli’ genocide Allianz. A new report by Middle East Eye reveals that the German insurance giant is: …the single largest foreign financier of the Israeli state – holding more in Israeli government bonds than the US, the UK, France and every other country put together. The new info is based on fact-finding by Dutch researchers Profundo. Perhaps most damningly, Profundo senior researcher Ward Warmerdam described the funding of Zionist atrocities as “deliberate”.

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’.…
