Reform UK blames AI for Jimmy Savile photo-op flop

On 16 June, we reported that two Reform councillors had posed for a picture which suggested they would vote for Jimmy Saville. In the aftermath, the party claimed the offending image was “AI”. Now, one of the councillors at fault has apologised, proving beyond doubt that the photo op did indeed take place: To all the Reform UK supporters that tried to defend Reform UK Councillors Gemma Painter and Lilian Rogers for standing with a sign saying ‘I’d rather vote for Jimmy Saville’, and @LeeAndersonMP_ who posted it was fake, then deleted the post. Just thought you should know Lilian… pic.twitter.com/bFbi21jKBY…

“Cynical act of deception” by Irish football bosses claiming Palestinian support for ‘Israel’ match

In a devastating humiliation for the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), the Palestine Football Association (PFA) has said it never issued any statement backing the FAI’s decision to proceed with Ireland’s match against so-called ‘Israel’. This is despite the Irish football chiefs putting out a statement last week clearly intended to indicate the opposite. Sinn Féin TD Joanna Byrne described the FAI’s move as an “unforgivable cynical act of deception”. Byrne continued: What this clarification lays bare is a contemptible sleight of hand by the FAI – a sleight of hand that will be met by resistance by the football community…

Reform MP implies gross ‘get out of jail free’ card for abusers saying England losses to blame

Sarah Pochin, Reform MP for Runcorn and Helsby, has posted a sickening video on X which implies that domestic abuse ‘just happens’ when the England team loses a game. Given that Reform has a track record of platforming and promoting abusive men, Pochin’s comments appear less like a warning and more like an attempt to explain away behaviour that has absolutely no excuse. Thankfully, critics were quick to remind her of a pretty simple fact: domestic abuse is the responsibility of the male abuser — not the performance of football players. No football result — however disappointing — gives any man…

Even whilst under investigation, Farage is still shilling for his crypto-billionaire benefator

Even whilst he’s under investigation for taking an undeclared £5m ‘gift’ from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, Nigel Farage is still attempting to block a new cryptocurrency plan at the Bank of England (BoE). Something which could obviously hurt his biggest donor’s bottom line. Harborne is part-owner of Tether Limited Inc. The company issues the eponymous cryptocurrency stablecoin ‘Tether’. Because Tether’s value is pegged to that of the US dollar, it allows users to trade their cryptocurrency for real-world money and vice versa. This fact makes it the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Nevertheless, Tether Limited’s profits actually fell somewhat over…

The scourge of online misogyny and racism fuels calls for regulation

A recent report by children’s charity Barnardo’s lays bare the scale of misogyny in the UK. Polling 4,000 young people, its shows how misogyny and targeted racism have flourished on social media platforms. As a result, the report found that these attitudes have dangerously become more ‘commonplace’ among offline. Against this backdrop, British PM Keir Starmer announced yesterday a social media ban will come into effect next year, restricting access for under-16s. Nevertheless, will still be able to circumvent the ban using VPNs. This means use of Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X, by young people will likely continue. Lauren…

Yemen at the heart of Israel’s push for a military foothold in Somaliland

Israel’s alliance with Somaliland is gathering steam. The settler-state appears is expanding its military footprint in the region and, as diplomatic relations grow closer than ever, Israel seems likely to  get what it wants. On 13 June, Drop Site News reported that in an unprecedented display of support, the Muslim-majority nation witnessed “the public waving of Israeli flags—not in protest, but celebration.” They added that: Videos shared on social media from Somaliland’s day of independence on May 18 showed Israelis dancing in the streets of Hargeisa alongside locals, with blue and white stars of David flying beside Somaliland’s red, white, and…

Rihanna Kelver facing felony charges shows ‘stand your ground’ is not for trans people

Rihanna Kelver, a transgender woman in Wyoming, is facing felony charges for pulling a weapon to defend herself after being subject to homophobic and transphobic slurs. Slate magazine reported that Kelver was about to end a work shift when several men on the street began yelling slurs at her. Then: Moments later, according to court testimony and surveillance footage, the man shoved Kelver to the ground hard enough to injure her tailbone. Kelver responded by drawing a pistol from her bag, chambering a round, and pointing the weapon at the man who had pushed her. She kept the safety on and…

Lebanon’s US-aligned PM condemns Iran for Israel’s attacks in deranged interview

Lebanese PM Nawwaf Salam has condemned Iran for Israel’s war of aggression in southern Lebanon, in a deranged interview with the Murdoch Times. Nawaaf claimed that Tehran rejected a supposed ‘ceasefire’ ‘deal’ in Israel’s invasion of Lebanon because: Tehran wanted to say Lebanon is a card in our pocket, that ‘we decide on Lebanon’s behalf … we are the decision-makers’. The one-sided ‘deal‘ involved Israel being free — its usual modus operandi — to continue attacking and seizing territory in southern Lebanon. By contrast, resistance group Hezbollah would have to cease all operations, lay down its arms and leave the territory, giving…

Unite’s Graham pines for Healey exit

Unite — Sharon Graham’s call for looser fiscal rules to fund military spending was slammed by Stop the War’s officer, Shabbir Lakha. Graham was mourning the resignation of John Healey as defence secretary, who resigned citing Starmer and his chancellor, Rachel Reeves, as not ‘serious’ enough about spending huge amounts of our money on military build-up. Lakha pointed out that the government is already cutting 1% of all capital budgets to pay for this defence hike, and that Healey resigned to demand even more. He slammed her, as the leader of one of the biggest unions in the country, for actively…

When Gianni Infantino reserved an empty seat for French journalist Christophe Gleizes and called for his release so he could attend the 2026 World Cup, the FIFA president wanted to send a message of solidarity with a reporter who had been prevented from covering the world’s biggest football tournament. But there are many more empty seats that FIFA’s president has chosen not to acknowledge. There are Palestinian journalists who covered previous international tournaments, some of whom attended the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but who will never make it to the 2026 tournament. Not because they are behind bars, but because…

International trans health bodies express “deep concern” for NHS ban on HRT for under-18s

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and its European counterpart (EPATH) have issued a joint statement expressing their “deep concern” regarding NHS plans to suspend hormone prescriptions for trans under-18s in England. On 9 March, NHS England published a draft clinical policy outlining its plan for public consultation. In essence, it proposed that: MAF (masculinising and feminising) Hormones are not recommended to be available as a routine commissioning option through the NHS Children and Young People’s Gender Service. This represents a sharp break from the current clinical policy, which was itself updated in 2024 in a knee-jerk response to…

More animal welfare charities call for an end to the guga hunt

Two leading animal welfare organisations are calling on the new Scottish parliament to end the annual guga hunt on Sula Sgeir. They’ve published a new report stating that the hunt cannot be considered humane, despite a NatureScot licence condition that requires killing must be carried out humanely. This adds to the campaigning work of Protect the Wild, whose founder Rob Pownall ran for the Scottish parliament dressed as a gannet. Animal Welfare and the Guga Hunt comes out as NatureScot considers a fresh licence application for the 2026 hunt. The topic is also due to for consideration by the Scottish parliament…

US vassals band together to suspend ICC prosecutor Karim Khan for Israel

US vassals have banded together in a vote of the International Criminal Court’s 21-state ‘Bureau’ to suspend ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan. Khan has been driving the ICC’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals, including Benjamin Netanyahu and former ‘defence’ minister Yoav Gallant. ICC — Shameless political stitch-up Israel and the US have previously circulated allegations against Khan – a standard Israel lobby tactic – of improper behaviour. Now Khan has been suspended by the Bureau on a supposed ‘no indication of guilt’ basis. But as former UK ambassador Craig Murray points out, the move is a shameless and…

Weiss set to run CNN after trashing CBS for Israel

Israel fanatic Bari Weiss is set to take over the running of CNN’s editorial operations when Paramount Skydance’s planned purchase of Warner Bros Discovery is approved as expected. Weiss was imposed on CBS’s news operation in 2025 by its new, Zionist owners, despite no newsroom experience — with a naked pro-Israel agenda. The move has ruined the reputation of CBS as a serious news organisation, lost it some of its best-known faces and seen them replaced by pro-Israel mouthpieces. Weiss — spreading the plague Although the $110bn deal is not yet signed, both Paramount and CNN have said they expect it…

Rebecca Long-Bailey’s union speech is a rallying cry for the working class

MP Rebecca Long Bailey recently spoke at the conference for the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union and delivered a fierce rebuke to what the Labour Party has become under Keir Starmer. Referring to the murkiness of Peter Mandelson’s appointment, and the way in which the party has forgotten working class people, Long-Bailey insisted the party must remember and revive its trade union values. Her calls coincide with millionaire Nigel Farage telling unions to “ditch Labour” and affiliate with his party which only truly seeks to benefit its vested interests — the super-rich. These are the highlights from her address… Long-Bailey’s wish…
