Incumbent general secretary (GS) Sharon Graham‘s disengagement from the politics Unite should be pushing for its members. The cushy cowardice of her paid organisers. These are the reasons a well-known MP and an elected Unite executive (EC) member have cited for calling on Unite members to support challenger Simon Dubbins in Unite’s GS election. The MP Scottish MP Brian Leishman is one of only a handful of Labour MPs to show honour and humanity over Israel’s genocide in Gaza. And Leishman was straightforward in his assessment of the GS contest: under Sharon Graham, Unite is betraying its members by ‘removing itself’…

On 24 July, a vicious settler attack took place in the village of Tal, southwest of Nablus, West Bank. Four Palestinians from the Ramadan family were fatally shot by Israeli occupation forces (IOF). The village mayor reported that more than 70 residents had been arrested in retaliation. Eyewitnesses at the scene told the Canary that a group of Jewish settlers, armed to the teeth, infiltrated the village before descending on a Palestinian home. The homeowner, struggling to protect his home, rallied the local community. It was too late. The settlers had fanned out, accompanied by IOF soldiers providing legal cover. Four Palestinians…

The national football associations did not wait long after the curtain fell on the 2026 World Cup before rushing to launch a new era of technical change by signing managers ahead of the start of the 2030 World Cup qualifiers. These recent developments reflect a striking shift in international football as the competition amongst top managers moves from European club pitches to the national team dugouts. Big names such as Zinedine Zidane and Jürgen Klopp are taking the helm, whilst other national teams are still racing against the clock to finalise their managerial appointments.

An early exit was not the only disappointment for footballers at the 2026 World Cup. Whilst some stole the limelight with goals and trophies, a number of the game’s biggest stars experienced a tournament of a different kind: being included in their national teams’ squads, yet completely absent from the pitch. Six weeks of waiting ended without a single minute played, reducing their participation in football’s biggest event to nothing more than a name on the team sheet. The largest World Cup in history saw 1,248 players take part, but a small number of them returned home without their manager giving…

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has vowed to retaliate against Ukraine for its attack on a commercial Iranian ship in the Caspian sea. Araghchi said that the attack, which blew up the ship and killed at least one crew member, violates the UN Charter and “cannot go unanswered”. In a call with the EU’s pro-Israel foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, and Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Araghchi also said that Israel was behind the attack to try to “drag Europe into its war”. Ukraine claimed it had attacked a Russian warship. MP Ebrahim Azizi, who heads the Iranian parliament’s national security…

Animal welfare campaigners took to the streets of central London on Saturday 25 July. They were calling on the government to ban the “inherently dangerous” sport of greyhound racing in England. Campaigners organised The Century of Suffering: March to End Dog Racing Now to highlight the scale of pain and suffering greyhounds have faced at the hands of the greyhound racing industry since the first race took place 100 years ago. It follows landmark moves by the Welsh and Scottish parliaments earlier this year to ban greyhound racing in both Wales and Scotland. The government stipulates that governing body the Greyhound…

Weeks after the ruling ‘Bureau’ of the International Criminal Court (ICC) changed its voting rules to please the US and Israel, and stitch up its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan has been removed from his role. The removal was voted through despite expert lawyers unanimously clearing Khan of wrongdoing in connection to alleged sexual misconduct with a junior colleague, which he has denied. It is the first time in ICC history that a prosecutor has been removed. Meanwhile, Israel has boasted of its role in him being ousted. Khan has said he will appeal the decision. ICC top prosecutor pursued war criminals…

Boy George presents war crime: the song For clarity’s sake; we should add that the song is absolute dog sh*t. The track itself sounds like one of the demos that comes with a free music production app. It also sounds like the sort of thing a person might make their prisoner listen to as a method of torture (although we’re sure that’s just coincidental, and not something…

Many of these controversies relate to funding the party received in the runup to the 2024 general election. And in what seems to be a clear sign that the Reform people are rattled, Richard Tice is now attacking the media outlets investigating him: Both the BBC and Metropolitan Police appear to have acted in clear breach of legal obligations, contrary to well-established case law, in the BBC’s reporting about me over the weekend.…

On Friday 24 July 2026, from 8.00-9.00am, activists converged on Aviva’s historic Norwich headquarters. They were demanding the insurer severs ties with companies accused of human rights abuses against migrants and asylum seekers. They brought a 1.5m barbed wire ball surrounding Aviva’s logo, and spoke to hundreds of staff as they made their way to work. Aviva insures the largest number of migrant detention and surveillance contractors operating in the UK. Activists say this record sits in stark contradiction to the company’s publicly stated human rights commitments. Profiting from abuse? Aviva, which grew out of Norwich Union to become a multinational…

Luke Littler delivered a record-breaking masterclass to retain his World Matchplay crown, overpowering Gerwyn Price 18-9 at the Winter Gardens and becoming the first darts player since Michael van Gerwen to win back‑to‑back titles. The 19‑year‑old produced an extraordinary 111.53 average, hit 12 maximums and reeled off six ton‑plus finishes in a performance that never dipped, never loosened and never allowed Price a meaningful foothold. Price, the 2022 runner‑up, averaged 104.97 himself. This was his best of the week, but he still found no way to disrupt Luke Littler’s rhythm. The world no. 1’s scoring power and relentless accuracy pushed him…

Jewish Voice for Liberation (JVL) has issued a withering statement seeing off disgraced former prime minister Keir Starmer and demanding better from his replacement. Starmer, buh-bye – do better Burnham In an article on its website, the left-wing group looks back on Starmer’s record, particularly the lies in his departing speech about the findings of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on Labour under Jeremy Corbyn. JVL’s verdict is that the EHRC’s report, and Starmer’s shameless misquoting of it, are a hypocritical “triple outrage” and an “extraordinary travesty”. It elaborates: First, the EHRC did not make any finding of ‘institutional antisemitism’.…

New Prime Minister Andy Burnham‘s first speech as Labour leader claimed that he represents the biggest change in UK politics in 40 years. But his ‘new’ cabinet is a regurgitation of the same Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) Genocide and the so-called, ultra-Zionist ‘Jewish Labour Movement’ (JLM) who have blighted the Labour party and UK politics for the past decade. The media has joined in on the fiction, blaring that his reshuffle has purged the Starmeroid caucus. In reality, Burnham has just replaced a handful of them with a different handful, while many have retained their jobs or been promoted. For…

Lando Norris claimed his first victory of the 2026 F1 season at the Hungarian Grand Prix, converting McLaren’s strong weekend into a composed win after an early scrap with teammate Oscar Piastri. The reigning world champion had been the benchmark through practice and qualifying, but a lively opening lap briefly put Piastri ahead before the race settled into a strategic battle that swung decisively back towards Norris. Lando Norris’ race highlights McLaren arrived in Budapest with a major upgrade package and immediately looked transformed. Norris delivered on Saturday with pole, but Piastri’s launch on the soft tyres was electric. He pounced…

Brendon O’Hagan, Amanda Kelly, Hmeera Atiqnisar, Mohammed Malik, and Alma Yaniv were convicted of criminal damage last month for a protest at a Barclays bank branch in Burnley in 2024. It was carried out in the name of Palestine Action almost a year before the group was banned under terrorism laws.  In the agreed facts of the case, the prosecution’s lawyers acknowledged that Barclays provided investments and loans to Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms firm.
