Real Madrid has once again solidified its global dominance, this time on the world stage rather than in club competitions. Players from the club have achieved a historic milestone at the 2026 World Cup, setting a new record for the most goals contributed by players from a single club in a single tournament. This record-breaking feat followed a decisive brace by England’s Jude Bellingham against Norway, which propelled his national team to the semi-finals. This effort brought the total goal tally for Real Madrid players in the current World Cup to 19—the highest number ever recorded for a single club in…

On 7 July, Nigel Farage resigned as the MP for Clacton. Seconds later, he announced he was running to become… the MP for Clacton. Hours later, the other political parties said they wouldn’t be running, and that Farage could have his fun running against Count Binface. Days later again, the public delivered their verdict: I just like the fact that 13% of the people polled can't decide. pic.twitter.com/ghxVShMUqh — Jonathan Pie (@JonathanPieNews) July 11, 2026 FFS Farage!

After 14 years of Tory rule (and 40 years of neoliberalism), Keir Starmer needed to make dramatic moves to turn this country around. Instead, he tinkered around the edges then pouted when no one thanked him as their lives continued to worsen. Starmer is on his way out, and you have to assume Rachel Reeves will follow. Given her response to the following, it’s easy to see why: #BBCLaurak: "You were absolutely central to Keir Starmers whole project. What do you think, reflecting back, is the biggest reason why its come to an end like this? Rachel Reeves: "I think governing…

US Congressman Ro Khanna slams IOF after detention by armed Israeli settlers

Extremist Israeli settlers — is there any other kind? — detained US lawmaker Ro Khanna as he visited the occupied West Bank last week. Khanna — one of the more critical of Israel among US politicians — was held for around 90 minutes by land-thieves armed with M4 assault rifles. He said that when Israeli troops finally turned up: they sided with the settlers and continued our detention. Khanna becomes the first US politician held by the apartheid colony. Surely his brown skin had nothing to do with it. The detention has been ignored by the White House and US Israel…

According to Quds News Network, sources claim the Palestinian Authority (PA) has begun providing medical treatment for members of armed groups in Gaza accused of collaborating with “Israel” — admitting them to hospitals in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian Authority treats collaborators with “Israel” in its hospitals This follows the Zionist regime’s refusal to receive wounded members of these militia groups at hospitals inside “Israel.” Instead, the Palestinian sources claim the PA coordinated the collaborators’ transfer to hospitals under its administration, where they received medical care and logistical support.

ITV sports hack Gabriel Clarke has rightly been lambasted for his appalling interviews after England beat Norway to reach the World Cup semi-finals. The match followed the pattern of recent England performances: a frustrating, lacklustre performance rescued by moments of brilliance from, mostly, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane. England manager Thomas Tuchel, while happy to get through and praising Bellingham’s performance his team’s mentality, was correctly dissatisfied with the latest repeat. Tuchel felt that England “made life hard for [ourselves]”. ITV Clarke’s wind-up And he had no patience for Clarke’s wind-up: Horrendous interview from Gabriel Clarke post Norway vs England game…

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…

Israel lobby groups demand Burnham roll back even milksop Gaza comments

Israel lobby groups wasted no time in demanding Andy Burnham pull back from even his watery comments on Israel’s crimes in Gaza. Burnham refused last week to call the genocide a genocide. Instead, he said Labour “didn’t get right” its response. That would be Keir Starmer endorsing Israel’s crimes against humanity by cutting off fuel and water to the besieged open-air concentration camp. And ordering the RAF to provide active support for the slaughter of Palestinians — and almost certainly UK aid workers. And Burnham dared to suggest — after almost three years of slaughter, starvation, targeting of children, hospitals, schools,…

The sight of Bosnian fans at the World Cup raising Palestinian flags, chanting for Gaza, and showing solidarity in the stands and on American streets was more than just sympathy for a people enduring a cruel war. Rather, it seemed like a retrieval of a personal and collective memory that has not left them for three decades. While millions of fans around the world were watching what was happening in Gaza from afar, many Bosnians were reliving their own lives. They were not just spectators; they saw a part of their past in every image. Every scene from Gaza brings back…

The Israel lobby has gone into yet another Mamdani-related meltdown. This time, though, the emphasis is on ‘related’. Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji dared to co-host a retreat in Corsica that honoured the Virgin Mary as “a Palestinian woman who gave birth under occupation”. The event also included prayers for Palestinian mothers giving birth and trying to protect their children during Israel’s genocide. Israel meltdown The Murdoch-owned New York Post claimed Duwaji dodged US Independence Day celebrations, liked posts praising resistance to occupation and created artwork that criticised Israel. It also attacked attendees for wearing keffiyeh scarves and raising funds for Palestinian…

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.

Disabled people’s charities and advocacy organisations have been swift to respond following the publication of the interim Timms Review into the Department of Work and Pensions’ (DWP) Personal Independence Payment (PIP) system. The preliminary findings recognised the benefit as vitally important, but also criticised the “degrading” and “dehumanising” assessment process. Ultimately, it determined that PIP was “not fit for purpose”. Almost universally, the response from advocacy organisations was something along the lines of ‘That’s what we’ve been trying to tell you for years’. Likewise, most also welcomed the review’s initial findings, and echoed the vital necessity of PIP. In this article,…

Yet another parliamentary oversight committee has urged the Labour government to drop its multimillion-pound NHS contract with Palantir. The controversial firm’s contract is valued at £330 million. The health and social care select committee joins the science and technology committee in shunning Palantir. The latter stated the need for the government to find alternative technology partnerships in June. The allegedly war-criminal US spyware firm is steadily working into the UK’s National Health Service. It claims to provide streamlining technology and data services, but MPs cite “serious mistrust”. Critics accuse the notorious spy-tech company of enabling genocide in Palestine and powering ICE’s…

The British Army has field tested a range of new AI drone equipment. The military wants to shorten so-called ‘kill chains’ using technology from AI war firm Anduril among others. An entire infantry unit was re-purposed to train in drone warfare. The regiment did so on UK terrain chosen to “closely resemble the heavily forested landscape of Finland”. The army’s website said: Unlike traditional infantry units, these battalions won’t just rely on soldiers moving across the ground. Instead, they will specialise in drones and other unmanned systems to find and defeat enemies in the air and across the electronic spectrum — an…

Police have raided at least three homes of supporters of the ‘Defend Our Juries’ (DOJ) group, using terror legislation to detain individuals and seize devices. The arrests were in relation to the Starmer regime’s ‘proscription‘ of anti-genocide direct action group Palestine Action (PA). The ban classifies PA alongside the likes of ISIS and al-Qaeda as terrorists. Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 makes support for the non-violent group a criminal offence punishable by up to fourteen years in prison.

The final minutes of the match between Argentina and Egypt in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup were not merely decisive moments in determining who would progress to the quarter-finals; they also proved to be a turning point for the tournament’s economy. With Egypt leading by two goals to nil, Argentina were just minutes away from being knocked out of the World Cup, which would have meant the exit of their star player, Lionel Messi — a scenario that would not only have altered the landscape of the competition but would also have had a direct impact on…
