“Drill, baby, drill’ backfires: Trump’s illegal war may trigger permanent shift away from oil

US oil exports are surging as Saudi and Russian exports are disrupted by US-led wars and sanctions — but, there is a big ‘but’ here, the true and permanent winner of Trump’s Iran war might be China’s clean-tech industry. Exports of Chinese-made solar cells hit 1.7bn units in March, a record high for a single month, the Financial Times reported.

Hidden boat ownership risks fuelling illegal fishing in UK waters

Less than a quarter of the UK’s largest commercial fishing vessels may have clear ownership transparency. And this is creating a systemic blind spot in UK fisheries governance. Environmental law organisation ClientEarth has laid out these findings in a new analysis: Whose Boat Is This? The current regulatory gap on commercial fishing vessel ownership risks enabling vessel owners to operate through complex corporate structures and hide behind shell companies. This can mask the Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) of these vessels. ClientEarth’s Kyle Lischak said: The core problem is simple: the government does not publicly identify who really owns many of the…

Corporate Western media appears to celebrate Israel’s Illegal occupation of Lebanon

Ethnic Cleansing — Several Western corporate media outlets have appeared to celebrate Israel’s illegal occupation of the Crusader-era Qal’at al-Shaqif Castle in southern Lebanon. “Captured a strategic mountain” At this point it sounds like AP is celebrating Israel’s unlawful occupation of Lebanon. https://t.co/b13dCVICHD — Assal Rad (@AssalRad) May 31, 2026 On Sunday, May 31, Israel issued more illegal forced displacement orders to all residents living south of the Zahrani River.

Westminster won’t admit Scotland’s involvement in illegal Iran war

Westminster is making Scotland complicit in Trump’s illegal, Zionist-led war on Iran. That is: concretely, materially and operationally complicit, via a publicly owned airport in South Ayrshire. Scotland’s Government claims it cannot legally close Prestwick to US Air Forces without Westminster, but the UK Government will not publicly account for its decisions. Westminster — An obfuscated Labour letter In early March, Scotland’s External Affairs Secretary Angus Robertson wrote to Darren Jones, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, seeking urgent reassurance. The Scottish Government-owned airport, Robertson noted, was “not provided information about the purpose or mission of the aircraft using their facilities.” He…

Scotland’s airport is complicit in illegal US-Zionist war on Iran

Scotland is apparently complicit in Trump’s illegal, Zionist-led war on Iran. That is: concretely, materially and operationally complicit, via a publicly owned airport in South Ayrshire.

Both are heavy military transport planes, flying onwards to staging posts including Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily. The Sicilian bas is a key hub…

US drops charges against Israeli whose illegal biolab left neighbours ‘deathly ill’

The US government has dropped all federal charges against Ori Solomon, who is now free to leave the US and return to Israel. Solomon’s hidden, illegal biolab in a rental lock-up left neighbours and the police who entered it “deathly ill”. However, the only charges he now faces relate to illegal waste disposal. The official story now is that the lab was making unlicensed “medical testing kits”. Those, however, do not commonly make people “deathly ill”. US operates revolving door of impunity The US has a track record of turning a blind eye or dropping cases in order to allow Israelis…
