Scottish Labour exposed as Westminster-bankrolled front, following Sarwar resignation

  • Post last modified:8 August 2026

It’s emerged that the Scottish Labour Party is fronted by Westminster paymasters. The Scottish wing of Labour relies entirely on its anti-sovereignty London HQ bosses to cover its staffers’ wages. Scottish Labour’s most recent financial accounts show that it paid for no staff last year, with the UK-wide operation meeting employees’ wages. The SNP claimed Scottish Labour “don’t exist” after the revelations. One note in the accounts filings, showed that the UK operation had pledged “financial assistance” to the Scottish branch. This was to ensure its viability, rendering it essentially a southern front organisation. The accounts were published alongside most other large…

On June 28th, unelected Prime Minister Andy Burnham appointed Bridget Phillipson as the new Labour Party chair. What many in the mainstream media did not report, however, is Phillipson’s connection to Stuart Roden, a lobbyist with links to Israeli intelligence. Stuart Roden In 2023, Phillipson registered two £40,000 donations from Roden, the co-founder of Hetz Ventures, a Tel Aviv-based venture capital firm he set up with London-born former Israeli intelligence officer Judah Taub. According to a Declassified UK report, Roden’s Hetz firm employs: an array of former Israeli soldiers, many of whom have served in elite intelligence units. Last year, leaked…

Four of the eleven unions officially affiliated with the Labour Party have announced that they will boycott the Labour Women’s Conference this year. Unison, Aslef, Usdaw, and the Musicians’ Union cited the party’s decision to ban trans women from attending the event. The news follows Labour’s cancellation of the 2025 women’s conference after the Supreme Court’s ruling that ‘woman’ refers to sex-assigned-at-birth under the Equality Act 2010. ‘Compliance with the law’ In December, the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) then took a vote to formally exclude trans women from proceedings at the women’s conference. Note, particularly, that the trans ban at…

Andy Burnham is officially the new leader of the Labour Party after running the ‘contest’ completely unopposed. To mark the occasion, a Survation poll has pegged Labour and Reform in joint lead for popularity across the country, tied at 24%. The sudden jump in the polls owed itself to the combined effect of Labour’s increased popularity following Starmer’s resignation. Plus, Reform’s slump after scandal-struck Nigel Farage quit his seat in Clacton-on-Sea. The former Manchester mayor turned Makerfield MP secured the backing of 379 of the Parliamentary Labour Party’s (PLP) 403 MPs. In his inaugural speech as prime minister in-waiting, Burnham hit a…

The Green Party tells the Canary that Labour’s “contempt for Greater Manchester residents” is on full display as the mayoral election looms soon. The party slams Labour for failing to yet deliver a costed manifesto, saying that Greater Manchester voters need to know what they are voting for. It’s now just over two weeks until Greater Manchester goes to the polls on 30 July. Postal votes are already landing on doorsteps for the single most significant ongoing election in English politics outside of Westminster. But Labour’s candidate, Bev Craig, has failed to publish a manifesto yet. Even Reform UK, despite Clacton-caused…

Cross-party MPs urge Labour to drop £330m Palantir NHS contract

Yet another parliamentary oversight committee has urged the Labour government to drop its multimillion-pound NHS contract with Palantir. The controversial firm’s contract is valued at £330 million. The health and social care select committee joins the science and technology committee in shunning Palantir. The latter stated the need for the government to find alternative technology partnerships in June. The allegedly war-criminal US spyware firm is steadily working into the UK’s National Health Service. It claims to provide streamlining technology and data services, but MPs cite “serious mistrust”. Critics accuse the notorious spy-tech company of enabling genocide in Palestine and powering ICE’s…

The Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs believes that changing the party’s leader isn’t enough. Instead, it is trying to encourage Andy Burnham (or whoever else becomes the next Labour leader) to pull the party back towards more left-wing positions. In a statement, the MPs criticised the dominant Labour right for ‘chasing Reform voters‘ with right-wing positions. The small minority of 24 left-leaning Labour MPs want “immediate bold steps” that understand the “deep structural changes” Labour should be pushing to “reverse over forty years of neoliberalism“. MP Ian Byrne shared an image of the key changes the Socialist Campaign Group are…

Starmer issues apology on forced adoptions, but Labour still failing families

  • Post author:
  • Post last modified:4 July 2026

British prime minister Keir Starmer issued an apology on Thursday July 2 for the state’s role in forced adoptions over multiple decades. It rings hollow, however, given the man anti-poverty campaigners christened ‘Kid Starver’ continues to fail British families. Forced adoption is the practice of taking a child from parents without their full consent, and transferring that child to a foster family. The British state funded the system which between 1949 and 1976 resulted in the forced adoption of 185,000 children. It was often mothers who had given birth outside of marriage who were victims of the cruel practice. Social norms…

On Wednesday 24 June, the Labour Party and Green Party simultaneously convened in Lambeth’s Agnes Riley Gardens, and Zack Polanski had something to say about it.

Newly released documents reveal the inner workings of Labour Together and its role in covertly undermining Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour party. The documents were disclosed to Corbyn in response to a subject access request. They contain emails from Labour Together’s two key figures Morgan McSweeney and Josh Simons. McSweeney went on to be Keir Starmer’s chief of staff while Simons became a cabinet minister until he resigned following revelations that he had hired a reputation management firm to “proactively undermine” journalistic investigations into Labour Together, McSweeney and Sir Keir Starmer.  Simons subsequently vacated his Makerfield constituency seat for Andy…

Andy Burnham has won the Makerfield by-election, and that means Labour now has two new races to run: the first is for the position of Labour leader, and the second is for the mayor of Greater Manchester. The first will be restricted to Labour MPs, obviously, but the second will be open to any candidate who can raise the deposit. Such candidates may want to think twice before putting the money down, however, as the Greens are confident it’s going to be a two-horse race between them and Labour: We said it was Greens vs Reform in Gorton and Denton, and…
