Demonstrators in the US will spend decades in prison after being sentenced for taking part in a protest outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre last July. Journalist Mehdi Hasan called the sentences “insane” and noted the hypocrisy and authoritarian nature of the punishments. Protesters Accused of Antifa Ties Sentenced to Up to 100 Years in ICE Attack https://t.co/7eMN3ohmDM via @NYTimes Insane sentences. Same people who protested at 5 or 10 yr sentences for Jan 6 rioters will say nothing about this. Oh, the hypocrisy. Authoritarian for thee, not me. — Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) June 23, 2026 A total of…

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. These duelling rallies should have been a good opportunity for each side to demonstrate how much support they have. Things didn’t pan out that way, however, because the Labour side retreated from the field: Great rally this morning in Lambeth! Bizarre that Labour cancelled their rally an hour after I announced I was coming. Have they thrown in the towel already?

On Friday 12 June, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. He achieved this on the back of his company SpaceX going public, despite said company not being profitable. This has inevitably led to the following: JUST IN: SpaceX lost $1 trillion in market cap since last week — Kalshi (@Kalshi) June 23, 2026 Oh, and thanks to all this, the wretched Musk has already lost his ‘trillionaire’ status: Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire after a global rout in tech shares wiped $500bn (£379bn) off his fortunehttps://t.co/XYksFxIBdq pic.twitter.com/IMDRbV9LwZ — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) June 24, 2026 Hey Elon Musk: money…

The Norwegian national team’s appearance at the 2026 World Cup was not merely a return after a long absence. Rather, it has felt like the reclaiming of a whole identity, bringing the fans back to the forefront – this time with a different face and a louder voice from the stands. Whenever the team achieved a positive result, a now-familiar scene would unfold: hundreds of supporters sitting in tight rows, swaying in unison, as if rowing together in a single ship navigating the tournament’s waves. A simple scene in appearance, yet it quickly became a defining feature of this summer’s World…

Since the World Cup began in 1930, dozens of goalscorers have taken part in the tournament and left their mark on the history of the game. But one thing has remained constant over the course of nearly a century: no player has ever won the World Cup Golden Boot twice. Although the tournament has featured legendary names such as Pelé, Diego Maradona, Ronaldo (Brazil), Zinedine Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi, none of them have managed to top the scoring charts in two different editions. In fact, most have never even won it once. Today, the 2026 World Cup presents a…

WATCH: Scottish MP Lara Bird mogs ‘royal’ oath with crossed fingers

Scottish MP Lara Bird bested the archaic royal oath of allegiance with what look like crossed fingers when she was sworn into Parliament this week. Crossing one’s fingers when making a promise means that the would-be promiser has no intention of sincerely holding that promise. Bird therefore smartly worked her way around the anachronistic ‘pledge of allegiance’ to the Windsors. This amounts to what Gen-Z and Gen-A would call a ‘mogging’ of the British crown. And too right — MPs are elected to serve us all, not just one wealthy family. It’s time more MPs did the same. In making her…

The Hidden Cost of a Slow House Sale in the UK

• Post author:Nathan Spears
• Post published:24 June 2026

Selling a home is often treated as a simple question of price. Get a valuation, list the property, wait for offers and hope the sale goes through. But for many homeowners, the real cost is not just the final sale price. It is the money, time and stress lost while the process drags on. That is why some sellers now compare estate agents, auctions and companies that buy houses for cash when weighing up what a delayed sale could actually cost them. A slow house sale can look harmless at first. The property is on the market, viewings are happening and…

The leader of Restore Britain has announced its candidate for the Greater Manchester mayoral elections: Marlon West, whose daughter is a victim of group-based child sexual exploitation. However, CSE survivor, Femi Mohammed, says West is one of the people who deliberately excluded her from Lowe’s intensely biased ‘Rape Gang Inquiry Report’. The goal? To reinforce the misinformation that only Pakistani Muslim men prey on white British girls. Restore Britain: Who is Marlon West? On 22 June, Rupert Lowe posted that he was “delighted” about the announcement. West is one of the most prominent campaigners against the rape gangs in the country…

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) now face serious questions after being proven to be politically captured, yet again, by an oppressive state funding mass-murder, this time at the hands of the Rapid Sudan Forces (RSF). Afraid of upsetting foreign tyrants, thus choosing to ignore warnings about the mass slaughter of Sudanese civilians in el-Fasher. Instead, human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond has claimed that the FCDO instead prioritised cosying up to the UAE out of fear it would upset existing ‘good relations’. Founding director of the Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at Yale School of Public Health, Raymond, provided damning testimony…

Earlier this month, the UK parliament passed a law targeting children and teenagers’ social media use instead of the true root of the issue. The social media ban for under 16s is not just another example of our government virtue signaling in an attempt to save face. It is also an example of its inability to address the fundamental flaws in the society it is forcing the next generation of young people to grow up in. Social media ban: Why teens hate (and support) it The social media ban, which will come into force in early 2027, is modelled off the…

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…

And, he made a point of criticising those in the race who took money from American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).  Dan Goldman was defeated by Lander.

Nigel Farage had an absolute nightmare on 23 June. After weeks of ducking the media, he returned to TV studios to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Brexit. The consequence of this was that everyone got to see why Farage has been avoiding journalists – namely because they’d ask about the ‘£5m gift’ scandal. While most of the attention has been on Farage’s inability to provide a good answer to this, there was another response that has drawn criticism. It’s a response that HSBC whistleblower ‘Mr Ethical’ has made everyone aware of: Farage claimed in interviews today that he claimed 0 in…

The Jewish Voice for Liberation (JVL) group has issued a statement of solidarity with British Muslims after the white hate knife attack on Muslims in Edinburgh. At the same time, it has condemned the gross disparity in the mealy-mouthed reaction of the British political and media establishment to the attack. In contrast, this reaction differs from the recent attack on two Jewish men. Furthermore, the reaction also differs from the reaction to an almost-unmentioned Muslim man.

The UK state traps vulnerable children in a brutal cycle of lifetime incarceration, and exposes a system that rejects the idea of rehabilitation entirely. This disgusting model our nation follows separates us from the rest of Western Europe, where sticking kids in cages for life is banned. At a London panel hosted by the campaign group Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association (JENGbA) on Friday 19 June 2026 saw mothers, lawyers and former child lifers tell their stories. And it ripped my heart out. JENGbA campaigns tirelessly to end child life sentences and their testimonies exposed a racist, ableist nightmare under…

The Metropolitan Police has announced plans to expand its deployment of live facial recognition (LFR) technology in London. The Met Police force is planning on having the intrusive scanning technology set up in Soho and the West End by December 2026. Over the following year, six more areas across London are slated to follow. However, civil liberties organisation Big Brother Watch has called these plans: an alarming escalation of an intrusive technology which has already scanned the faces of millions of innocent Londoners. Likewise, the privacy campaigner also highlighted the recent high-profile case of Alvi Choudhury. The young British-Asian man was…
