DWP’s new AI jobcentre built a CV for a parrot, what will it force disabled people into?

Keir Starmer has launched the latest crap policy that he thinks will save his failing premiership: an AI jobcentre advisor – because that’s exactly what the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) need. DWP and AI needs to walk the plank The Prime Minister announced at London Tech Week that the DWP had developed the new ‘AI work assistant’. Starmer called the tool a ‘jobcentre in your pocket’ and said it would help unemployed people find work and help build them CVs. Science editor at The Times, Tom Whipple decided to give it a go, with a twist. He wrote on…

Reform council accused of banning displays for Refugee Week and for Pride month

The Reform-led council in St Helens has instructed all local libraries to take down displays promoting or funding anything relating to Pride or Refugee Week. This Orwellian – and bigoted – move comes just as Refugee Week is set to commence, between the 15th and 21st June, and shuts down the long-seen practice of libraries highlighting resources which increase understanding and compassion towards marginalised communities. At the same time, the council have afforded £200k of taxpayers’ money to pay a consultant to ‘educate’ elected Reform councillors on the inner workings of the council over four years. This follows a comment made…

Nigel Farage has called on the Unions to ditch Labour and instead join far-right Reform UK. Reform is now the party of workers.

Netanyahu’s order for 70% Israeli control of Gaza is not ‘self-defence’ – it’s ethnic cleansing

Netanyahu’s order for 70% Israeli control of Gaza is not ‘self-defence’ – it’s ethnic cleansing

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians has commented on Israeli plans to seize control of even more of Gaza: Benjamin Netanyahu’s order to the IDF [Israel’s name for its military occupation forces] to seize control of at least 70% of the Gaza Strip is an egregious violation of the so-called ‘ceasefire’ that Israel has violated more than 3,000 times since October. Increasing Israeli occupation of Gaza has gone unchecked and the so-called ‘yellow line’ has continually expanded, with Israeli soldiers operating an open-fire policy on any Palestinians who finds themselves within the no man’s land, most of whom are in…

Senegal primed for World Cup after AFCON debacle

Senegal enters the 2026 World Cup finals with a rare blend of ambition, experience and renewal, in an attempt to rewrite one of the most beautiful stories in African football on the world stage. Although the ‘Lions of Teranga’ were unable to go beyond the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup, the signs leading up to the current edition suggest that the West African side possesses the qualities to make it one of the leading contenders to play the role of ‘dark horse’ in the tournament. Senegal had made their way to the World Cup with remarkable consistency, topping their qualifying…

As the 2026 World Cup approaches in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico), England enters the list of serious contenders to win the title for the first time since 1966. This assessment relies on a strong combination of exceptional talent, tactical preparation under Thomas Tuchel’s leadership, a perfect qualifying record, and statistical expectations.

Visa crisis threatens media coverage for the 2026 World Cup

As FIFA continues to promote the 2026 World Cup as the most expansive and inclusive tournament in history, a new crisis has emerged that could overshadow the long-awaited event. The International Sports Press Association has warned of significant difficulties facing dozens of accredited journalists in securing visas to enter the United States. In an official letter to FIFA media officials, the association revealed it has received an increasing number of complaints from accredited journalists—including a large group of Iranian journalists and those from various African nations—who have yet to secure the necessary visas, despite fulfilling all of the tournament’s media accreditation…

Rees-Mogg urges Tories to step down for Reform

Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg, Jacob Rees-Mogg has argued that the Tories should step down for Reform UK in the Makerfield by-election. The problem with his argument is that Reform seemingly wants to replace the Tories, and so any attempt to work with them will just benefit Farage: Jacob Rees Mogg says the right needs to work together, and a vote for Restore in Makerfield will lead to Burnham winning (who he describes as a hard left semi-Corbynista!) pic.twitter.com/SctCXo1iRA — Saul Staniforth (@SaulStaniforth) June 7, 2026 Reform, Restore, replace In the clip above, Kuenssberg puts the following to Rees-Mogg: Nigel Farage had…

Sectarians fling racist abuse at N Ireland’s charity Great March for Gaza

Knuckle-dragging ‘loyalist’ Israel supporters have gathered in Scarva, County Down, to disgrace themselves by flinging sectarian abuse at the Great March for Gaza. The humanitarian march, organised by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, set off from Lurgan, ten miles away, this morning. After Scarva, marchers walked a further almost twenty miles to Omeath in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel’s genocide and occupation: The thugs were caught on camera by the defiant marchers as they passed: View this post on Instagram A post shared by BDS Belfast (@bdsbelfast) Great march for Gaza vs “provocative behaviour” The march is raising funds…

Even eyesight is restricted for Palestinian prisoners in Israel’s tortorous prisons

Even eyesight is not taken for granted in the prisons of Israel. I am a human rights lawyer. I have had a client for four years now, and we have become good friends. I try to visit him as often as possible, sometimes without payment, sometimes for a tiny payment from his family. I have filed many petitions on his behalf without charging for them. I love him and he loves me. This client has been in prison since the days of the Second Intifada. Back then, he was a 22-year-old young man who helped his friends buy a pistol –…

US spy agency using Anthropic AI tech for cyberwar against China and Iran

The US National Security Agency (NSA) is allegedly using Anthropic software to wage cyberwar against Iran and China. The AI war firm is currently locked in a legal battle with the Trump administration to stop certain military uses. Anthropic bosses previously complained when their tech was used in the 3 January Venezuela raid. The NSA is the US equivalent of the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). Its remit includes surveillance and cyberwarfare. The Financial Times (FT) reported on 4 June: Anthropic is helping the US National Security Agency deploy its powerful Mythos AI model for offensive cyber operations, embedding engineers inside…

Polanski call for investigation of alleged Brit war criminals has upset Israel apologists

Green Party Leader Zack Polanski is under fire for calling for potential British-Israeli dual national war criminals to be investigated. The Jewish News platformed commentators who conflated criticism of the state of Israel with antisemitism over Polanski’s signing of a Declassified UK letter calling for basic accountability. Polanski, who is Jewish, signed the 26 May letter. Declassified and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians are running a campaign to force police to investigate Brits who served in the Israeli military during the genocide. You can read the Canary’s report here. The campaign letter reads: We, the undersigned, are politicians, lawyers, campaigners,…

Shadow equalities minister wants any explanation other than racism for Black maternal deaths

Shadow Equalities Minister Claire Coutinho has suggested that we need to be “clear-eyed” when considering the issue of Black maternal deaths. Apparently, ‘the left’ (and also, you know, the NHS) are too quick to blame racism for the fact that Black people are three times more likely to die during childbirth. We’re having this whole ridiculous ‘debate’ again because, over the last week, Reform leader Nigel Farage has redoubled his attacks on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives. Those of us who don’t receive our talking points directly from Trump’s fascist America may know these better as EDI (Equality, Diversity and…

Stormont Justice Bill permits the state to keep your data for a lifetime

The Justice Bill currently passing through the Northern Ireland Assembly will allow the police to retain a person’s biometric data for a massive 75 years. This is despite the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) previously ruling that indefinite holding of such information is a violation of privacy. 75 years may not be indefinite, but it’s essentially a lifetime, meaning the difference is largely moot. More worryingly, the bill allows the state to keep information such as fingerprints and DNA for most of a century in cases of “terrorism-related” offences. This could include cases of inviting “support for a proscribed organisation”.…

Labour MP David Taylor apparently has no problem with Israeli genocidaires and returning IOF reservists visiting Britain, but American content creators and political commentators are one step too far. Last week, Taylor called for Hasan Piker to be banned from entering the UK, claiming that his presence would be “not conducive to the public good”. When Shabana Mahmood obliged by revoking the visas of Piker and Cenk Uygur, another political commentator, Taylor thanked the Home Secretary. The Community Support Trust lobby group also celebrated the decision, stating that Piker “exceeded the bounds of acceptable discourse”. The Board of Deputies’ statement applauding…

US Universities selling bodies meant for ‘science’ to US Navy for Israeli military training

Two US universities are selling dead bodies, which are meant for ‘scientific purposes’, to the US Navy, which uses them to train the Israeli military. Back in 2025, student journalists revealed the links between bodies donated by the University of Southern California (USC) for scientific research and training provided to Israeli soldiers by the US military. At the end of 2017, the US Navy filed a notice of intent to start purchasing cadavers from USC. The purpose was to use dead bodies in trauma surgery for the IOF. The notice of intent states: The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to negotiate…

Boris offered a “top five job” to back remaining in EU before he ultimately ran for leader

In a new BBC documentary, Boris Johnson revealed that David Cameron offered him a “top five job” during a tennis match to secure his support for remaining in the EU. Cameron, PM at the time, apparently wanted Boris to know that he: valued his contribution, that he would be a major party of the government going forward. Apparently, Cameron returned from the tennis match feeling “doubly good” after beating Johnson and believing he had appealed to his career ambitions. Nevertheless, Cameron was quickly outmanoeuvred when the then-London Mayor announced — “after a huge amount of heartache” — that he would support…
