Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits “rogue state behaviour” Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight. “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,” the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp.“Their government talks the languages of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.”In messages that Streeting released earlier…

If you’ve ever watched a politician promise you a three-course meal only to hand you a single stale budget-brand biscuit, you will recognise that exact sinking feeling I get whenever Andy Burnham opens his mouth. Andy Burnham: not sensible For years now, he’s been held up as Labour’s great sensible left hope – the man who stood up for the north, who’d take on the Westminster machine, who might just drag the party back to its working-class roots without scaring off anyone who owns more than one house. It’s a great story. It’s also about as believable as a government minister…

Amid the Gaza genocide, Farnborough airshow invited Israel’s three largest arms firms. None wanted media scrutiny Israel’s largest arms firms angrily refused to answer questions from independent media at an arms fair in England on Monday. They had been invited to the Farnborough International Airshow despite being required by French authorities to cover their stands in black drapes at the Paris airshow last year. One company at Farnborough, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), even threatened to report journalists to police for asking questions about its role in the Gaza genocide. IAI makes the Heron surveillance drone which its chief executive Boaz Levy…

Education is a fundamental human right for everyone, but in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, access to safe and quality education for almost 835,000 school aged children has been undermined, severely threatening their futures. West Bank education restricted Movement restrictions, forced displacement, school demolitions, violence. and harassment by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and Jewish colonial settlers are commonplace.

Spain’s second World Cup title did not arrive in a blaze of chaos or a flurry of goals. It came through something far more familiar, control. Luis de la Fuente’s side beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time in New Jersey. Ferran Torres delivered the decisive moment, but the story of this final was written long before the ball hit the net. Spain dominated every phase, every rhythm, every inch of the pitch. This was a victory for football philosophy. Spain dominated The match never resembled the dramatic, end‑to‑end final of 2022. It never threatened to. Spain imposed their game immediately, pinning…

But thanks to Bukayo Saka, it became a historic night for English football. The Arsenal winger stole the spotlight with a stunning hat-trick, helping England secure their first-ever World Cup bronze medal while becoming only the fourth English player to score three goals in a single World Cup match, following Geoff Hurst (1966), Gary Lineker (1986) and Harry Kane (2018).

The Young Greens have led the way for their machine-hindered parent party by dumping the pro-Israel, pro-colonialism so-called ‘IHRA working definition of antisemitism‘. Young Greens break ranks The Israel lobby within the Green party succeeded in sabotaging a ‘Zionism is racism’ motion at the Greens’ conference. However, today – 19 July 2026 – the Young Greens have passed a new resolution dismissing the party’s existing, IHRA-framed guidance as “unfit for purpose” and that the Greens’ youth section: Believes: Antisemitism is a serious form of racism that must be actively identified, challenged, and addressed within the Young Greens and the wider Green…

All images are courtesy of activist photographer ‘BetterThanReal.’ Oi Burnham – be better! Marchers celebrated the departure of now-ex PM Keir Starmer and challenged his successor Andy Burnham over his own links to the Israel lobby and whether he will be any better: Genocide: ‘Bought and paid for’ Protesters carried giant banknotes linking Starmer’s ministers and advisers to Israel-linked donations, and the UK’s collaboration in Israel’s…

Despite pouring millions into anti-Palestinian propaganda, the world is turning against Israel. The colonial state’s demise has been accelerated by its perceived sense of “invincibility” and arrogance in broadcasting its genocidal intent. Now, even analysts from the ethno-state believe the reputational damage is done. No amount of propaganda can save them. Crying wolf carries consequences Since 7 October, Israel has aggressively amplified its victimisation narrative, asking for condemnation of Hamas and spreading misinformation across news channels. Therein lies the rub… the Israelis, so convinced by their own narrative which casts them (the aggressors) as the victims, had the gall to publicly…

New York mayor Zohran Mamdani is in “active conversation” to see if he can seek an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. The wanted Israeli war criminal will be visiting the big apple in September to attend a United Nations General Assembly. Mamdani: ‘He belongs in the Hague’ Mamdani’s popularity continues to confound and irk the Israel lobby. He has rightly said Israel should not exist as an ethnostate. Both he and his family have been targeted by Israel’s lobbyists for daring to show solidarity with Palestinians against genocide. He has also said that Netanyahu belongs in the International Criminal Court in…

Your Party executive (CEC) member Sam Gorst is well known for his 2023 thrashing of Labour in the Garston local elections, and for being elected to the CEC as an independent. But now he is an ex-CEC and Your Party (YP) member after resigning from both. The resignation comes in the wake of outrage from the CEC, after the suspension of three Your Party executive members for attending a socialist event — leading to a unanimous no-confidence vote in the officials held responsible. YP parliamentary leader Jeremy Corbyn then controversially rejected the vote. In a message to other CEC members shown…

South Lebanon — The road to al-Mansouri, a village cut in half by Israel’s yellow line, tells its own story. We pass through an endless exhibition of risk-free actions by the so-called occupiers. Burnt out vehicles from hits by drones. Homes and infrastructure destroyed by those guided bombs from fighter jets. But the road also tells a different story. Resistance flags are defiantly planted in the rubble of each and every demolished building. Portraits of martyrs proudly adorn the lamp posts. The countryside is reminiscent of all my journeys to south Lebanon. Rolling hills connected by endlessly twisting carriageways through villages…
