The Young Greens have led the way for their machine-hindered parent party by dumping the pro-Israel, pro-colonialism so-called ‘IHRA working definition of antisemitism‘. Young Greens break ranks The Israel lobby within the Green party succeeded in sabotaging a ‘Zionism is racism’ motion at the Greens’ conference. However, today – 19 July 2026 – the Young Greens have passed a new resolution dismissing the party’s existing, IHRA-framed guidance as “unfit for purpose” and that the Greens’ youth section: Believes: Antisemitism is a serious form of racism that must be actively identified, challenged, and addressed within the Young Greens and the wider Green…

British Muslim group MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development) has dissected the attempts of pro-Israel MPs to shut down a debate on Israel’s influence in UK politics. The sick farce is the latest instalment in the Starmer regime’s cover-up of Israel’s interference. The government commissioned a report into foreign political interference without mentioning Israel at all. The report, unsurprisingly, made zero references to Israel, whose lobby funds a majority of government ministers. Israel lobby shut down debate The debate took place because it was demanded by well over 100,000 people. Yet the attempts to shut it down were as shameless as the…

Israel fanatic Labour MP Mike Tapp appears to have attempted to fire a Starmeroid ‘shot across the bows’ of new Makerfield MP Andy Burnham. Of course, being pro-Israel and Starmeroid, it’s grossly hypocritical as well as awful. Tapp told the BBC this morning that if Burnham or anyone else tries to challenge Keir Starmer, they would face pressure to stick closely to Starmer’s model of government. That means war on UK freedoms to protect Israel, along with cuts, privatisation and attempts to outdo fascist Reform on racial incitement. But Tapp framed it as not going “too far from [Labour’s 2024 general…

Green leader Zack Polanski has called for ‘immediate escalation’ from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan over clearly “unlawful activity” at the Great Israeli Real Estate event. Jewish anti-Zionists had joined protests outside the London event on 14 June to oppose its attempts to sell land in the illegally occupied Palestinian territories. Polanski: ‘No impunity for hosts of deplorable Great Israeli Real Estate event’ In a letter to Khan, Polanski insisted that there had already been “substantial evidence ahead of the event” suggesting wrongdoing, and that authorities should have never allowed it to take place. But following the event, he stressed: It has…

Education ministers funded by corporate and pro-Israel lobbyists

Keir Starmer’s government, true to its deeply shady form, has filled the Department for Education (DfE) with people close to both corporate and pro-Israel lobbyists. And the overlapping right-wing network flows from old Blairites like Peter Mandelson and Jim Murphy to the more recent Starmerites at Labour Together. Electoral Commission statistics show us just how much influence dodgy lobbyists have in the DfE today. The rot of Blair, Mandelson, Murphy, and Labour Together New Labour corporate cronies — from Tony Blair to Mandelson and Murphy — just refuse to go away. But it’s the shadowy lobbying and fundraising networks around them…

A brash Trump- and Israel-aligned millionaire — Abelardo De la Espriella — has come out ahead in the first round of Colombia’s presidential election. Colombia’s left-wing government has strongly criticised Israel’s genocide and resisted Trump’s attempts to reassert US influence in Latin America. Meanwhile, De la Espriella has vowed to reverse these results and restore ties with Israel. Far-right candidate sides with Israel As Latin America’s fourth–largest economy, this could be a pivotal. Colombia has stood for decades as a key US ally in Latin America. It’s also been one of Israel’s staunchest partners in the region. But its first left-wing…

Pro-Israel pressure group UKLFI demands UCU bins pro-Israel pressure motion

Zionist bully-group UKLFI is at it again, despite the referral of its senior lawyers to their regulator for its bullying. The pro-Israel pressure group is upset that the University and College Union (UCU) conference will debate a motion on… pro-Israel pressure. You couldn’t make it up, and you don’t need to. Motion 52 will call for academic freedom against “Zionist repression” and the “dangers posed by Zionist groups”. No one sensible who has been paying attention could possibly object, which of course means UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) is very offended indeed. So much so that it has resorted to its…

A petition demanding a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on UK politics and democracy will be debated in Parliament on 22 June 2026, according to an update published on the Petitions Committee’s page on 21 May 2026. The petition reads: We feel that the horrific devastation in Gaza, the ongoing suppression of Palestinians in the West Bank, and the UK’s political response underline the urgent need to scrutinise how pro-Israel organisations, networks, and lobbying efforts may shape government decisions, party policy, and public debate. Petition debates cannot change the law or force a vote, but they can raise awareness and put…
