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…

After decades of under-investment by greedy private water companies, the failure of the UK’s water supply is now the top threat to the UK, alongside a new pandemic. Norwich MP, Clive Lewis, pointed out the news, which he said should “keep you awake at night”. So! “The @UKLabour govt’s National Risk Register now ranks losing our drinking water alongside a PANDEMIC as one of the two biggest threats facing the country” AND @andyburnham @EmmaforWycombe still insist that the private (and bankrupt ) Water Companies are the only solution https://t.co/gqWF1ZyiP7 — Allan Williams (@allanwales2) July 17, 2026 Lewis is right.

Sharon Graham’s former Unite election campaign organiser Matt Smith now supports her opponent, Simon Dubbins. Having seen Graham in action as general secretary, Smith believes that another five years of Graham would be “an utter disaster for our union”. But he didn’t only play an extensive role in her 2021 general secretary election campaign. According to senior union insiders, he “wrote her manifesto”. Unite endured five misused years under Graham Smith said that Graham has increased corruption at Unite rather than reduce it. He claimed that she had appointed useless cronies to senior positions and even made up a “ghost job”…

As we’ve reported, several establishment outlets have put an enhanced focus on Reform UK and Nigel Farage. Perhaps most notably, this has seen the investigations team at Rupert Murdoch’s Times newspaper revealing all sorts of financial scandals. It’s not just the investigative reporters who are diving in two feet first, though; the columnists are also at it: Reform can’t have it both ways on ‘hurty words’ https://t.co/nR0dR8tiHE — Times Politics (@timespolitics) July 15, 2026 Security Because his father was a minister in the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major, Rifkind has some experience of the security politicians receive.

On 7 July, Nigel Farage stepped down as the MP for Clacton. Skipping forwards, Farage is now running to reclaim the seat he just gave up, and his only real opponent is a man who pretends to be an intergalactic dustbin. As you’d expect, the rest of the world is now obsessed with this story: I love this Japanese TV News report about Count Binface taking on Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election: Farage has managed to make himself look bad globally. pic.twitter.com/xubtDfTzVP — Wokerati Marty (@WokeratiMarty) July 14, 2026 Farage big in Japan The clip above features the following subtitles:…

Former staff of at least two Labour government cabinet ministers, including outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, are now working for 411 Communications, a firm led by a former Israeli intelligence officer. Unit 2800 Oketa Zogi Shala is a former Labour Party intern who personally shadowed Keir Starmer and David Lammy. In February, she was recruited by 411 Communications. The director of 411 is Assaf Kaplan, a former Israeli spy from the infamous Unit 8200. In 2021, the intelligence officer was hired by Labour as a “social listening and organizing manager”. Asa Winstanley reported on the tactics of his former employer: Unit…

Donald Trump’s cheating team lost and now he is being angry at NATO conference

US president Donald Trump has turned up to the NATO conference very angry. And we’re going to assume it is because his cheating national football team got rinsed 4–1 by a very average Belgium side. In fact, the president took the opportunity to basically slag off every country he could think of. So, like, four… Iran was high among them. Commenting on the current shaky truce with a country that just kicked his arse in a sit-down chat with NATO’s buffoonish chief Mark Rutte, Trump said: I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them any more. They’re scum.…

The Moroccan national team no longer needs to be described as a “dark horse.” Its World Cup achievements are no longer fleeting surprises. Reaching the quarterfinals twice shows the “Atlas Lions” have arrived. Qatar 2022 was not their ceiling. It was the start of an integrated football project. They are now imposing themselves among the world’s elite. Fans once celebrated teams that surprised everyone and then left. Morocco broke this rule. They shifted from seeking recognition to being a respected contender. Opponents now prepare for them before every match. Title contenders? Morocco entered the Qatar World Cup outside the favorites circle.…

Farage’s Brexit ‘legacy’ gave us the instability he now condemns

Millionaire Reform leader Nigel Farage has been on the airwaves criticising the “revolving door” in Number 10 since Brexit, which has seen five PMs come and go. But GMB presenter and former Labour politician Ed Balls pointed out that, a decade on from the referendum, the UK has seen sluggish growth, struggling small businesses, and weak investment – with polling suggesting only around a third now think Brexit was the right call. Farage, however, argued that the real “earthquake” in British politics came from parties telling voters they were better off remaining in the EU – even though the facts show…

In final U-turn, Starmer now set to resign

It was no secret that Andy Burnham would seek to replace Keir Starmer should he win the Makerfield by-election. After he achieved victory, though — exceeding even the most optimistic polling — Starmer did not go gently into that good night. Instead, he said in no uncertain terms that he would fight Burnham in any leadership challenge. At this moment in time, a leadership challenge would have proven to be very damaging for the Labour Party. Because this is Keir Starmer we’re talking about, though, it looks like Burnham doesn’t have to worry. Because true to form, Starmer has now U-turned…

Elon Musk is a threat to democracy, and now also a trillionaire (same thing, really)

Elon Musk has been all over the headlines today, 12 June, as he tips over the threshold to become the world’s first trillionaire. And inevitably, Musk is a walking, talking argument against the existence of such wealth — which he uses to oppose democracy and amplify the far-right around the world. The real-life Bond villain (thanks, Financial Times) owes his latest windfall to SpaceX. The company, of which Musk is the majority shareholder, makes its initial public offering at a value of around $1.8tn. Of course, once any individual’s personal wealth enters the billions — never mind the trillions — it…

Reform’s Zia Yusuf thinks targeted prostate cancer screenings are racist against white people now

On 2 June, the Department of Health and Social Care announced a £200m boost to the Transform prostate cancer treatment trial. However, Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf has chosen to get himself in a tizz about the fact that the potentially life-saving trial is targeting Black people. You know, because Black people suffer from a far higher risk of prostate cancer than white people. But the far-right home affairs spokesperson isn’t letting that little fact stop him. Following party leader Nigel Farage’s current talking point, Yusuf branded the trial as evidence of a “two-tier system” creating a systematic disadvantage for white people.…

New research warns that family hardship has deepened despite years of post-pandemic support measures, worsening child food hunger. The survey of 2,500 UK parents, which Opinium carried out for the Social Market Foundation, found that nearly half (44%) were struggling more today to afford food than five years ago. In addition, 1 in 5 (21%) parents reported their children regularly experiencing some form of food insecurity. This included being unable to access balanced meals, or relying heavily on cheap foods. The Social Market Foundation report comes at a time when the cost of living remains among the top issues for the…

Reform Senedd candidate Corey Edwards, who stepped down from the election after a photo emerged of him doing a Nazi salute, is now, apparently, the special adviser for the far-right party’s Welsh leader. Mere hours after Reform announced him as a candidate for Bridgend and Vale of Glamorgan, a photo of Edwards performing a Nazi salute (complete with a finger in place of a Hitler-style moustache) came to light. The picture was reportedly taken more than six years ago. Edwards ‘apologised’ publicly but also tried to play it down as a joke. He even attempted a feeble swipe at anti-Zionist protests. My…

Israel’s genocide in Gaza and US-led war on Iran is pushing Democratic voters to increasingly oppose the sacred economic and military aid pact between Washington and Israel. Democratic voters change tack Results from a New York Times 2026 Siena poll shows that on the question of economic and military support to Israel: 68% of Democratic voters stood in opposition 25% of Democratic voters support the supply of aid 7% were ambivalent The poll also addressed the thorny question of Democratic party support for Trump’s unilateral decision to invade Iran. Polling data suggests that: 93% believed it was the wrong decision 5%…
