Robert Jenrick joins the list of Reform MPs who took money from convicted fraudsters

The Metropolitan Police has now launched a formal investigation into potential wrongdoing following an Electoral Commission investigation into reports that a £37.5k donation to Robert Jenrick’s Tory leadership campaign had originated overseas — Reform UK isn’t alone.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told the Guardian: We have launched an investigation following a referral from…

Starmer’s resignation speech is a list of his own failures

Keir Starmer announced his resignation as leader of the Labour Party this morning. As such, he’s also started the clock on stepping down as prime minister, once a new leader is decided. Of course, an impending leadership contest has been the worst kept secret in  Westminster for months now. In particular, leadership rival Andy Burnham’s victory in last week’s Makerfield by-election formed a very public blow to Starmer’s position. Likewise, though far less significantly, useless ex-health secretary, Wes Streeting, quit ahead of a leadership challenge back in May, with ex-armed forces minister, Al Carns, following in June. Nominations for the leadership…

List of disgrace: Over 50 countries armed Israel since plausible genocide ruling

51 nations armed Israel during the settler-colonial state’s genocide against Palestinians. Some states gave the regime hundreds of millions of dollars in arms. Others just a few hundred dollars worth of equipment. All bear the mark of shame. Al Jazeera reported on 24 May: military-related goods originating from at least 51 countries and self-governing territories continued entering Israel after the ICJ’s warning of a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza. The outlet used Israel tax authority data, customs records and freedom of information requests from “between 2022 and 2025” to trace: military supply chains linked to countries across Europe, Asia, North…
