The next Young Greens’ co-chairs will be anti-Zionist

The candidates bidding to become co-chairpersons of the Green Party’s youth wing, Young Greens, have unanimously affirmed that ‘Zionism is racism‘, the Canary can reveal, signalling an anti-Zionist stance for the national party. Each candidate — Cyn Muthoni, Jo Dowbor, Isaac Short, Haydn Osborne-Brookes and Elliot Retzepis — made their position clear at the hustings for co-chair selection at this year’s youth conference.

The next PM must act on the interim Timms Report and scrap the DWP’s PIP assessment system

On 9 July, the interim Timms Review branded Personal Independence Payments (PIP) “not fit for purpose”. The news comes as the Labour Party searches for a new leader, and a new UK prime minister, to boot. Right now, Andy Burnham looks like a shoo-in — and he’s got a golden opportunity to scrap PIP as we know it.

It highlighted that PIP assessments were frequently “dehumanising”, “degrading” and “stressful” for claimants.…

DR Congo faces England next after historic World Cup comeback

DR Congo needed nothing but a win in their final group game, or go home. By the final whistle, they had their first-ever World Cup victory, a 3-1 comeback over Uzbekistan, and a knockout clash with England locked in. Yoane Wissa, already carrying two goals into the third match day, left with two more and a performance that defined the Leopards’ night.

As a result, the thing looks nice at the moment they are given, but quickly loses its purpose in everyday life. That is why more and more people are turning to practical solutions – tools that are not just given but actually used for years.
