Activists across Ireland have launched a wave of protests against Allied Irish Bank (AIB) over the company’s disgraceful plans to sign a £1.2 million deal with genocide-linked ‘Israeli‘ cybersecurity firm SNYK. Pro-Palestine group, Your Tech Their Deaths, released a compilation video publicising recent actions against the bank. It shows activists from across the island entering Allied Irish Bank premises. Highlighting the effectiveness of direct action, in some cases the bank responded by shutting branches down. Your Tech Your Deaths founder, Jude Farrell, told the Canary that activists from various groups hit 11 Allied Irish Bank branches in the last week. She said:…

Argentina criticised over Falklands banner after England clash

Argentina’s players have been criticised after displaying a banner referencing the Falkland Islands in the aftermath of their 2-1 World Cup semifinal win over England. The banner, held aloft on Wednesday night, translated as: “The Falkland Islands are Argentinian,” prompting immediate political reaction and renewed scrutiny over FIFA’s rules on political messaging. The Falkland Islands remain a UK overseas territory, with islanders voting overwhelmingly in 2013 to retain that status. The islands have long been a point of tension between the two nations, most notably during the 1982 conflict, when Argentinian forces invaded before being forced to surrender two months later.…

A noisy protest erupted outside the Biodiversity + Business Live conference at the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh. Campaigners were challenging NatureScot over its role in licensing the controversial guga hunt.

Delegates arriving for the conference, including Scottish government ministers and UK business leaders, faced protesters chanting: NatureScot, shame, shame! Gannets killed in your name!

UK counter-terror cops have arrested twelve people over an alleged far-right threat against an Islamic event in Suffolk, England. The arrests took place mostly in southern and eastern England with one individual detained in Greater Manchester.

Olly Robbins, former permanent under-secretary of state for foreign affairs, has begun a legal challenge of Starmer’s decision to sack him over his supposed role in the appointment of Peter Mandelson, disgraced ambassador to the US. Starmer sacked Mandelson after details of his friendship and extensive communications with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein became public knowledge. The PM blamed Robbins for failing to let him know that concerns were raised during Mandelson’s security vetting for the ambassadorial position. Starmer sacked the then-head of the Foreign Office on 16 April. ‘Dismissive approach’ to vetting On 21 April, Robbins published a letter he wrote…

As we’ve extensively reported, Nigel Farage is facing criticism over the various gifts and donations he’s failed to declare. He’s also facing multiple investigations into the same cases. Unsuprisingly, the public is largely unimpressed with this state of affairs. Farage spent years complaining the establishment ignored “the will of the people”. Now 60% of voters – AND half of Reform voters – think he behaved incorrectly over gifts and donations.

On 9 July, Andy Burnham issued a statement regarding ‘Labour’s stance on Gaza‘. In it, our incoming PM refused to call Israel’s actions a genocide, and did little to differentiate his position from that of Keir Starmer. Accordingly, Canary writer Joe Glenton described the statement as “milquetoast sop“. And he wasn’t the only one to notice Burnham is trying to pull the wool over our eyes: @andyburnham is a coward. He apologised for the position this Labour Government has taken on Palestine but He won’t call it a Genocide, he hides behind international law. He won’t commit to Sanctioning Israel.He won’t…

A 26-year-old white male suspect has been arrested after former Tory minister and Reform UK politician Ann Widdecombe was found dead. She was an MP for over two decades and was known for her far-right and homophobic views. UK PM Keir Starmer skipped over her grotesque views to praise her “dedication” to “public service”: The whole country will be utterly shocked by the awful news about the circumstances of Ann Widdecombe’s death.

The crisis surrounding the lifting of the suspension of American striker Folarin Balogun has taken a new turn, after dozens of Members of the European Parliament called for an investigation into the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, following allegations that he succumbed to political pressure from US president Donald Trump, in one of the most controversial issues surrounding the 2026 World Cup. According to the Associated Press, 35 MEPs signed a letter calling on FIFA’s Ethics Committee to investigate Infantino’s role, after the Disciplinary Committee decided to lift Balogun’s suspension, allowing him to play against Belgium in the round of 16,…

19 health groups have co-authored a letter sent to new Makerfield MP and likely-PM Andy Burnham to urge him to scrap a terrible agreement made with Trump which could see almost 230k preventable deaths. The new deal will divert £44.7bn from essential health services to cover the cost of new medicines, which comes as a huge boon for greedy Big Pharma and a foreboding death knell for hundreds of thousands of British citizens. Academics from the University of York, Liverpool and Christchurch hospital in New Zealand have found that this level of reduction in NHS spending to foot the bill for…

SNP ‘breaching Israel boycott vote’ over bank bond plans

The SNP is breaching a historic Holyrood vote for an Israel boycott, amid preparations to issue new government bonds. The government is also accused of allowing “secrecy” around a government agency, Scottish Enterprise, which “refused to publish key information” on preventing genocide in Gaza. The Zionist occupation entity continues murdering Lebanese, Iranian and especially Palestinian civilians en-masse, largely unchecked by Western governments. Scotland’s government was among few to have taken meaningful steps in line with the global Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement’s urgent call. The SNP-run Scottish government confirmed nine banks chosen to support a £1.5 billion issuance of bonds. Expected…

Switzerland finally snapped their long‑running World Cup knockout drought with a composed, controlled 2-0 win over Algeria in Vancouver, booking their place in the last 16 and ending 88 years of frustration on the biggest stage. Goals from Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye delivered a landmark night for Murat Yakin’s side, who now move on to face either Colombia or Ghana. Algeria arrived with intent, energy and a clear plan to unsettle Switzerland early. For the opening minutes, it worked. They pressed high, moved the ball sharply and forced the Swiss back. But once Switzerland found their rhythm, the game tilted…

Three years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the BBC is still using a tactic one expert calls “subtle genocide denial”. The BBC and the dark art of genocide propaganda The Canary has long reported on the BBC‘s consistent pro-Israel propaganda. A key part of this is distracting people from the crimes of the settler-colonial apartheid state by turning focus onto Hamas. And the broadcaster  continues to do this. As Saul Staniforth highlighted on 2 July, BBC reporter Lucy Williamson: We’ve been speaking to some of the 15,000 people that Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says… The context was that 300 people have…

Despite leading Ghana to the Round of 32 in the 2026 World Cup, Portuguese manager Carlos Queiroz hasn’t hidden his frustration with this year’s tournament. He has voiced sharp criticism of the new 48-team format, arguing that the World Cup is losing its historical prestige and competitive edge. Speaking after Ghana’s 2-1 defeat to Croatia in their final group stage match, Queiroz contended that expanding the field has diluted the exclusivity of qualifying — an achievement he says once required years of intense effort and fierce competition. The Portuguese coach questioned whether the tournament has actually gained value by adding more…
