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 Β£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…

New Prime Minister Andy Burnham‘s first speech as Labour leader claimed that he represents the biggest change in UK politics in 40 years. But his ‘new’ cabinet is a regurgitation of the same Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) Genocide and the so-called, ultra-Zionist ‘Jewish Labour Movement’ (JLM) who have blighted the Labour party and UK politics for the past decade. The media has joined in on the fiction, blaring that his reshuffle has purged the Starmeroid caucus. In reality, Burnham has just replaced a handful of them with a different handful, while many have retained their jobs or been promoted. For…

Andy Burnham is officiallyΒ 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…

In an interview with the Canary, author Matt Kennard has said that to understand geopolitics the US must be understood as the global centre of war and fascism. And he dates the current wildness of the world’s biggest terror state to the so-called ‘war on terror‘. The Bush administration removed barriers that had prevented right-wing extremists entering the US military.

Trump and his shambolic Board of Peace (BoP) has discarded its recovery plan for Gaza, opting instead for a “tiny pilot scheme” amid fears of a “new all-out offensive before Israeli elections,” the Guardian reported. The so-called ceasefire hasn’t stopped Israel’s daily bombardment of Gaza. As recently as 16 July, Israeli forces were again striking Palestinians huddled inside tents. Israel is maniacally bombing Palestinians in tattered tents again tonight. Every. Single. Day. Not a single shot from Hamas for more than 10 months & Israel has killed more than a thousand Palestinians since β€” including more than 200 children. pic.twitter.com/DWzA42MAyq β€”…

On 14 July, the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) published a shocking – but sadly unsurprising – report into the stark Islamophobia on display at the Spectator,Β the UK’s oldest political magazine. The CfMM is an independent non-profit organisation which monitors the representation of Islam in the mainstream media. For its latest report, entitled ‘No Mere Spectator’, it presented comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis: of 3,733 articles published by The Spectator between January 2018 and December 2025 relating to Islam, Muslims, Muslim communities, Muslim-majority countries, or issues in which Muslims were a central subject of discussion. From this analysis, it concluded that…

The new ‘Mistaken Identity’ rule, introduced by FIFA for the 2026 World Cup, has now been put into practice. Swiss forward Breel Embolo became the first player to be sent off as a direct result of this refereeing amendment, marking a potential turning point in how VAR technology is utilized. During the quarter-final match between Switzerland and Argentina, Portuguese referee JoΓ£o Pinheiro initially issued a yellow card to Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes, believing he had committed a foul against Embolo. However, a VAR review revealed that the situation was the opposite: the Swiss forward had actually attempted to deceive the referee…

The British Army has field tested a range of new AI drone equipment. The military wants to shorten so-called ‘kill chains’ using technology from AI war firm Anduril among others. An entire infantry unit was re-purposed to train in drone warfare. The regiment did so on UK terrain chosen to “closely resemble the heavily forested landscape of Finland”.Β The army’s website said: Unlike traditional infantry units, these battalions won’t just rely on soldiers moving across the ground. Instead, they will specialise in drones and other unmanned systems to find and defeat enemies in the air and across the electronic spectrum β€” an…

Hard-right Restore Britain MP Rupert Lowe has caused uproar by telling grating Yank podcaster Joe Rogan that the 1996 Dunblane massacre was only ‘one murder’.Β  The tone-deaf right-winger also lamented that his father lost his pistols due to changes in law brought in after the killings. Well, boo-bloody-hoo, for daddy. The Oxford-educated ex-banker was talking about UK gun laws with Rogan, who is himself the human embodiment of divorced-man-whose-kids-won’t-speak-to-them energy. Let’s get this straight. In March 1996, Thomas Hamilton, an alleged nonce, walked into a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and massacred 16 primary school pupils and a teacher. He stalked…

Campaigners from Fossil Free London protested new oil and gas in Parliament Square on 7 July as the third heatwave of the summer hits London. They wore matching red swimming costumes and lay on white towels, imitating popular media images of beachgoers in hot weather. Each sunbather waved a ‘Stop Rosebank’ fan and behind them a large banner read ‘No New Oil & Gas’. The protest comes as the UK just experienced its hottest June ever. And uncertainty lingers over whether Andy Burnham will approve the Rosebank and Jackdaw North Sea oil fields once he becomes prime minister. Heatwave after heatwave…

Israel’s approval of plans to establish 13 new illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is yet another example of the abhorrent and utter disregard of the international rules-based order by Israel. This forms another troubling development in the rapidly deteriorating situation on the ground in the Occupied Palestinian Territories which calls for urgent and substantive measures by all states. The approved β€˜Binyamin’ plan is yet another attempt to further fragment Palestinian territory and isolate East Jerusalem from its surrounding Palestinian communities. It is situated along Route 60, the central north-south artery running through the West Bank that links Palestinian cities,…

Dutch investigative journalist Leendert van der Valk has revealed that the minimum number of people enslaved by the Netherlands in the transatlantic slavery system is a shocking 3.3 million. The figure is five times higher than the previous number of 600,000 commonly cited in the country. That’s the low-end estimate – he said Dutch slavers may have stolen the freedom of up to 5.3 million people. The Guardian note that King Willem-Alexander and then prime minister Mark Rutte have previously used the much lower number when apologising for the Dutch role in the hideous trade in human beings.

The Green Party continued its winning streak in London on 25 June with four by-election wins. Green party candidates won in Dalston, Hackney Central, North Acton, and Woodside.
