This is a statement from Campaign Opposing Police Surveillance regarding the Undercover Policing Inquiry Following elation at the progress of the Hillsborough law, victims of spycops were confronted on 16 July with a Home Office ‘consultation’ into the future of the Undercover Policing Inquiry. We are shocked and surprised by the announcement and deeply concerned that this is an attempt to shut this Inquiry down. We have been requesting a meeting with the Sponsor Department of the Home Office for more than a year and have been stonewalled. Now, we are presented with this multiple choice survey which clearly demonstrates that…

Erling Haaland late double sends Brazil home

Erling Haaland delivered the decisive blows in New Jersey, striking twice in the final stages to send Norway into their first-ever World Cup quarter-final and dump brazil out at the last‑16. The Manchester City striker rose to meet a pinpoint Andreas Schjelderup cross on 79 minutes, then drove in a second in stoppage time to cap a clinical, minimal‑touch performance that punished Brazil’s wastefulness.   Neymar, introduced for only his second appearance of the tournament, converted a late penalty deep into added time, but it arrived too late to alter the outcome. Bruno Guimarães had earlier seen his own spot‑kick saved…

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), alongside Declassified UK, has delivered a letter signed by almost 25,000 people to home secretary Shabana Mahmood, calling for an investigation into UK nationals who have served in the IDF (the Israeli military, often called the IOF) since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The letter urges the government to examine UK citizens who have potentially committed war crimes in Gaza and if they have been involved in violations of international law by participating in Israel’s assault. Since October 2023, Palestinians in Gaza have endured a genocide that has resulted in: The…

Home Secretary wants public to decide asylum seekers’ appeals

  • Post last modified:29 June 2026

Members of the public will be asked to volunteer to decide on appeals from asylum seekers as part of a new Independent Immigration Appeals Authority (IIAA). Shabana Mahmood is expected to introduce the proposal under the new Immigration and Asylum Bill, which will be presented to MPs in the House of Commons on Tuesday. The Home Office argues public participation will speed up deportations of ‘illegal immigrants’ with magistrate-like changes to empower those without legal knowledge to help clear the backlog. Currently, the backlog of appeals outnumbers those waiting for initial decisions, signaling the scale of the crisis. However, racists and…

White supremacists firebomb another Muslim family’s home with three young children inside

  • Post last modified:27 June 2026

A home in Blackburn has been targeted by white supremacists with a firebomb, Islamophobia written all over the attack. Three young children, including a 7-month-old baby, were inside the home, but thankfully all were able to escape before suffering any fatal injuries. However, this is the latest in a growing number of Islamophobic attacks committed by white supremacists in recent months, encouraged by far-right pundits and politicians profiting from the hate and division that has left many Muslim families fearing for their safety. In fact, recent calls to withdraw the definition of Islamophobia suggest this is just the start of a…

Blackburn Muslim family’s home firebombed. MSM, politicians silent

At 1.30am on Tuesday 16 June, two white supremacists approached the home of a Blackburn Muslim family, torched their car and filmed it. The attack was — at least — the third Islamophobic arson attack in June 2026. According to local firefighters, the family escaped was “seconds away from fatality”. White racists committed at least one other arson attack in the town in May. Apart from local press, UK mainstream media all but ignored the attacks. So did the government. A few days later, a white-supremacist thug knifed five people in Edinburgh, screaming Islamophobic hate as he was arrested. That attack…

Christian Eriksen doing well at home after collapse during friendly

Christian Eriksen’s collapse during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine sent a jolt through the Nature Energy Park crowd and brought the match to an immediate halt. What began as a routine warm‑up fixture ahead of the summer schedule turned into a moment of collective fear, one that revived memories no Danish supporter ever wanted to relive. The 34‑year‑old midfielder went down shortly after the hour mark, appearing to clutch his chest before falling to the turf. Players reacted instantly, waving urgently for medical staff while forming a protective circle around him. The stadium, loud only minutes earlier, fell into a stunned, suspended…

Belfast human rights activist could be deported due to Home Office incompetence

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. In Belfast, Home Office incompetence is threatening Nina Briggs, head of the Migrant Workers’ Union Northern Ireland, with deportation. They insist that Briggs’ active appeal against the unfair Home Office decision does not exist. That is despite an immigration tribunal confirming the department submitted documents in her case in December 2025. Briggs has spent the last 14 years living in Britain or the North of Ireland. Born in the US, she came to Britain to study at St Andrews University in Scotland back in 2012, at age 16. She subsequently entered…

The cost of the unprovoked US war on Iran is limiting routine training and maintenance at home. The military’s usual practice flights, training exercises, and the upkeep of equipment have all been affected as the American empire strains under the demands of the failing war. CNN reported: The Navy’s top officer, Adm. Daryl Caudle, told House Armed Services Committee lawmakers earlier this month that his 2026 budget “didn’t bake in [Operation] Epic Fury” and that the Navy faces impacts on “routine operations” as a result. That includes having to limit training exercises, flight training hours and training for new recruits, he…
