Two Just Stop Oil Supporters who sprayed Heathrow departure boards with orange paint during the Oil Kills, international uprising to end fossil fuels in July 2024 have been spared prison. Phoebe Plummer and Jane Touil were sentenced by Judge Duncan at Isleworth Crown Court on 29 June, after being found guilty of criminal damage in a second trial in May for their Heathrow action on 30 July 2024 to demand a fossil fuel treaty to end oil and gas by 2030. They must each pay a £500 fine plus a victim surcharge and will face three months on an electronic tag…

A suspected arson attack set a mosque in Dublin city centre ablaze in broad daylight on Monday 29 June at 3:35pm. Police subsequently arrested a man in his 40s in connection with the fire. In video footage, the man shouted: Go back to your country. We don’t want Islam in this country. People have repeatedly targeted the mosque by walking in during prayers, confronting worshippers, and filming videos to post on social media in an attempt to demonise Muslims in Ireland. Now, this suspected arson attack marks a dangerous escalation. It shows just how far anti-Muslim hate has spread and how…

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), alongside Declassified UK, has delivered a letter signed by almost 25,000 people to home secretary Shabana Mahmood, calling for an investigation into UK nationals who have served in the IDF (the Israeli military, often called the IOF) since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The letter urges the government to examine UK citizens who have potentially committed war crimes in Gaza and if they have been involved in violations of international law by participating in Israel’s assault. Since October 2023, Palestinians in Gaza have endured a genocide that has resulted in: The…

The psychology behind giving food as a gift

• Post author:Nathan Spears
• Post published:30 June 2026
• Post last modified:1 July 2026

There’s something quietly profound about handing someone a gift they can eat. Unlike a gadget that might gather dust or a candle that gets forgotten on a shelf, food gifts carry a kind of warmth that few other gestures can match. They say: I thought about what you’d enjoy. I wanted you to savour something. And nowhere is that sentiment more beautifully expressed than in a thoughtfully curated wine and cheese hamper, a gift that turns an ordinary moment into a little occasion worth lingering over. But why does giving food feel so personal? And why do we reach for edible…

The attempts to dismiss an undeclared £5 million “gift” are falling flat, and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is under more pressure than ever. The party’s largest donor, Christopher Harborne, is showing no signs of backing away from political donations. Farage says that he would “gladly” accept further contributions from the billionaire. Although Farage has long said that his priority is putting Britain first, his main backer is a Thai citizen with shares in an arms firm that exports components to the Israeli military. Indeed, Harborne is the largest shareholder in weapons manufacturer QinetiQ. In 2022, QinetiQ were granted licenses to…

When Andy Burnham unveiled his plan to run in the Makerfield by-election, the establishment media claimed he would renationalise utilities. Because we actually listened to what he was saying, we knew this wasn’t the case, and we pointed it out. Burnham himself disagreed with our assessment that he had no plan to end the privatisation nightmare. Now, Burnham has made it clear; his Labour government will not offer anything besides half measures: Andy Burnham confirming he won't take our key infrastructure back into public ownership. pic.twitter.com/LjibtBuEdL — Saul Staniforth (@SaulStaniforth) June 29, 2026 Burnham sets out victory for the fat cats…

On 29 June, Tommy Robinson ‘pumped’ a meme coin on behalf of his son. In the aftermath, the coin’s holders began selling off what they had – i.e. ‘dumping’ it. In other words, it looks a lot like your textbook ‘pump and dump’ scheme: Update: The meme coin Tommy Robinson's promoted has now fallen roughly 96%. The coin has experienced several smaller spikes followed by rapid sell-offs. https://t.co/ICuyZsAqMB pic.twitter.com/cHnZRfnxE7 — Gadget (@Gadget440) June 30, 2026 To those in the know, Robinson’s post gave off ‘pump and dump’ vibes.

Morocco’s World Cup story keeps bending in unexpected directions, and in beautiful Monterey it took another sharp turn. Mohamed Ouahbi’s side, organised, stubborn and unshakably calm, edged past the Netherlands on penalties after a 1-1 draw to book a last‑16 meeting with Canada. It was a night where Morocco’s rhythm, passing ability, and speedy attacks got them the win in the end. The Dutch, for all their attacking talent, turned up to attempt a defensive masterclass which failed. The Netherlands had arrived with momentum and expectation. Morocco arrived with big ambitions, but they left with more. World Cup: Netherlands and Morocco…

Polluters must pay for European heatwave costs

Fossil fuel companies must be held responsible for the extreme heatwave gripping Europe. Campaigners from 350.org say they should pay permanent windfall taxes to help cover the mounting health costs. A new study by World Weather Attribution found that climate change is “unequivocally” the driving force behind Europe’s record-breaking heatwave. The study found that: Heatwave temperatures would have been “virtually impossible” to occur at this time just 50 years ago. Overnight temperatures are about 100x more likely today. Almost half of more than 800 cities across 30 European countries have broken, or are likely to break, heat stress levels. UN climate…

Unite nominations close sees Simon Dubbins win ‘core Graham’ sectors

Unite leadership challenger Simon Dubbins – the only candidate to consistently oppose Israel’s genocide, UK warmongering, and the union’s withdrawal as a political force – has secured more than enough branch nominations to stand against incumbent Sharon Graham. Not just enough nominations, but nominations in many of the sectors Graham’s supporters would have considered her core support. Graham has outraged Unite members and activists with her support for the arms industry and her opposition to anti-genocide protests. Unite’s war on its workforce, apparently to protect Graham’s husband Jack Clarke, has also disgusted many. Clarke was promoted – outside the union’s usual…

The Canary is now in a financially precarious situation. We do not know when our money that Lloyds is holding will be returned. Moreover, we do not know how it will affect our ability to get another bank account in the future. Lloyds give no…

Cosmetic dentistry has evolved significantly over the past decade. Treatments that were once associated primarily with celebrities have become increasingly accessible to people looking to improve the appearance and function of their teeth. Among the most frequently discussed options are veneers and smile makeovers. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Understanding the difference between a smile makeover and veneers can help patients make more informed decisions about their treatment options and set realistic expectations for the final result. What Are Dental Veneers? Dental veneers are thin shells, typically made from porcelain or ceramic materials,…

Israel spent £50,000 lobbying Reform

Reform UK’s deputy leader said last week that a parliamentary debate into Israeli influence on British politics was “antisemitic in its very motivation and at its core”. “As such, we should utterly reject it,” argued Richard Tice to a room full of MPs. What he did not tell them, however, was that he had been on a trip to “the Gaza front line” last September funded by the newly-created Reform Friends of Israel, where he concluded that the Gaza famine was a “blatant lie”. And that trip is not the only example of pro-Israel pressure groups working with Reform. Just a…

On Friday, 27 June, in a room at the US State Department, Lebanon’s ambassador to Washington — with zero diplomatic credentials prior to this post — signed her name to a “framework agreement” with Israel. US secretary of state Marco Rubio beamed that it was “the beginning of the beginning.” As usual, in spite of American imperial pomp the ‘agreement’ is not what it appears, as Al Jazeera reported: he agreement does not force Israel to withdraw from the large area of southern Lebanon that it continues to occupy, and Israel also appears to be signalling that it will continue its…

Any illusions of Labour Party “change” under Andy Burnham were dispelled last week when he appointed lobbyist, Blairite minister, ex-Labour Friends of Israel chair, and Peter Mandelson’s “boy” James Purnell as his chief of staff. The line from Team Burnham is that Purnell has cut all ties with Flint Global, the lobbying firm he led and held shares in until last week. But it seems that the firm has a history when it comes to conflicts of interest. Flint Global Flint Global’s current Defence Advisory Practice lead, James Clark, was previously outed as being a co-founder of the All Party Parliamentary…
