Liz Truss addresses half-empty hall at UK CPAC debacle

This week, the UK is hosting its very first Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). And if the early signs are anything to go by, there’s every chance it could also be the last: Liz Truss opens CPAC GB. In fairness it’s quite early. pic.twitter.com/sTaGyQNLxL — Mikey Smith (@mikeysmith) July 16, 2026 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) CPAC has been a mainstay of the American right for decades. In recent years, it’s begun to expand beyond the Americas too, with the UK its latest target market. Reporting on the UK CPAC in June, we referred to it as a “Yank hand-me-down event“. We…

So much for Number 10 North – top government roles dominated by southerners

With evidence mounting daily that Andy Burham’s regime will be absolute continuity nonsense with a mild northern accent, research shows just how thin the veneer of north-ness might be. Ahead of Burnham creating Number 10 North, the Sutton Trust has released analysis of its Elitist Britain 2025 report. It shows that people who grew up in London and the South East dominate the key roles making decisions that affect all our lives. Half of all top government officials got their education in London and the South East. Almost a third went to private schools in those regions. This includes 50% of…

US Blue Angels put lives at risk with low pass fly by

In an absolutely wild clip, an individual has recorded the US Blue Angels performing a recklessly low fly by over a beach full of people. And when we say low, we mean low. When we say ‘reckless’, we mean the subsequent air currents caused chaos: There's a reason the FAA banned jets from flying over crowds at airshows.

Whittome calls for ‘safe and legal’ asylum routes for Sudan and Eritrea

On 15 July, Labour MP Nadia Whittome posted an impassioned plea to social media, urging the UK government to establish safe, legal routes for Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers to come to the UK. Currently, and in contrast to similarly war-torn Ukraine, no specific refugee initiatives target those fleeing the two countries. Whittome accompanied the post with a video of herself speaking during the second reading of Labour’s Immigration and Asylum Bill. Voting against the racist policy, she argued that the bill would “punish those seeking sanctuary” and “weaken vital protections” for people fleeing persecution. ‘Safe and legal routes’? On 15…

Campaigners disrupt event showcase demanding venues stop hosting fossil fuel firms

Amidst the third heat storm of this year, campaigners demanded an end to London venues hosting events for fossil fuel companies. Fossil Free London campaigners disrupted inside the QEII Centre in Westminster while the venue hosted its annual Summer Showcase. This is an invitation-only event marketed to the events industry where companies can find suitable locations for their corporate events. In protest over London venues hosting oil and gas events, five campaigners entered the 40th birthday party event at the QEII Centre and disrupted the event. They requested to give a birthday speech within the DJ booth when they said: Did…

Times’ columnist suggests Reform are the ‘snowflakes’ now

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.

The Israeli occupation’s genocide in Gaza has inflicted unprecedented devastation on the enclave’s agricultural sector

According to a statement from the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture Israel have inflicted “unprecedented devastation” on Gaza. In the almost three years since the genocide began Israel have repeatedly carried out damage to Palestinian infrastructure. Gaza: agricultural losses estimated in the billions Damage exceeded 85 percent across most agricultural sub-sectors, resulting in a near total collapse of the agricultural production system. Losses were estimated to be worth around £2.6 billion. More than 87 percent of agricultural land used for growing crops was damaged, so local food production severely declined, Around 8700 agricultural water wells were also rendered inoperable. The agricultural irrigation…

Leakers claim Farage wanted £1m a year to lead Reform

Revelations continue to emerge about Nigel Farage’s finances. The latest scoop is that the Reform leader said he’d need £1m a year to return and lead the party. And this is all very interesting, because Farage went on to receive a £5m ‘gift’ just before a new 5-year parliamentary term began: Excl: Farage said he would need ‘a million a year’ to stand as MP in 2024https://t.co/jSIvIKZ2GJ — Anna Isaac (@Annaisaac) July 15, 2026 It’s all coming out On the £5m gift, we previously reported: Farage accepted the £5m gift from [Christopher] Harborne – a crypto billionaire – in 2024.

14yo charged with terror offence for alleged plan to attack mosques

A 14-year-old boy has been charged with a terrorism offence over an alleged plan to attack two mosques in the Sutton area of south London. The plan, the latest in a flood of Islamophobic violence, was linked to “extreme right-wing terrorism”.

He is in custody and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ court tomorrow ,16 July 2026. “Very serious terrorism” For once, after months of the establishment ignoring Islamophobic violence, police officers responded…

Cardiff Uni student assaulted by security staff for holding Palestine flag

Security staff have twice assaulted a Cardiff University student — for holding a Palestine flag and then for trying to take a photo of them. The Caerdydd Students for Palestine (CS4P) group described what happened: As a student was on the way OUT of graduation she was physically assaulted and had the Palestinian flag ripped out of her hands with such violence it ripped her acrylic nails off. She was simply carrying the flag in her hands on her way out of the building. She was then assaulted AGAIN when trying to get photos of the staff after they refused to…

Trump’s hyped national guard deployments did absolutely nothing to lower crime

US president Donald Trump’s much-hyped national guard deployments did nothing to lower crime rates. Canary readers will recall how Trump filled the streets of US cities with troops at the start of his second term. A major centre-left US thinktank has now debunked any claims that the military presence lowered crime. And what’s more, the whole project has ripped off taxpayers to the tune of billions. The Center for American Progress (CAP) warned in a new report: The second Trump administration is trying to take credit for the historic drop in violent crime across America despite the fact that this trend…

Unions and anti-corruption campaigners react to damning Covid Inquiry report

Yesterday, 15 July, the Covid Inquiry published its latest update — this time focusing on the Johnson government’s failure to secure adequate personal protective equipment (PPE). In response, both anti-corruption campaigning organisations and the unions representing affected hospital workers have been swift to issue their condemnation. As the Canary’s Joe Glenton previously reported: Boris Johnson’s government wasted £10bn on unusable personal protective equipment (PPE), the Covid inquiry report has found. Inquiry chair Heather Hallett also slammed the then-Conservative government’s use of firms with Tory ‘VIP’ connections to fulfil major PPE contracts. BMA: Government performance ‘an omnishambles’ Reacting to the Module 5 report,…

‘What about Israeli terrorists?’ — Burnham ‘ratioed’ for supporting IRGC ban

Incoming PM Andy Burnham claimed he would bring “the biggest change in our lifetimes”. But instead he is bringing Starmeroid ‘business as usual’. Burnham shows no sign of undoing any of Starmer’s police-state measures intended to protect Israel, and in fact indicates he will take them further. And he has praised Starmer’s attack on free speech about the illegal US-Israel war on Iran. As his first use of his rushed-through law, Starmer has ‘designated‘ Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) — Burnham thinks this is great. Starmer’s new ‘National Security (State Threats) Act’ is an extension of supposed ‘anti-terror’ legislation, clearly designed…

SAS troops dropped prisoners from forklift ‘for fun’, inquiry hears

SAS troops currently under investigation for war crimes dropped prisoners from a forklift “for fun”, an inquiry has heard. And one soldier who served with them was allegedly called a “Taliban-loving apologist” for raising concerns about the elite unit’s behaviour. The inquiry into allegations that the SAS extrajudicially murdered Afghan civilians between 2010 and 2023 occupation heard from two whistleblowers on 14 July: Monica Grenfell, a former journalist, and Christopher Green, who was part of the Army Reserve, contacted the Afghanistan Inquiry to give evidence after the chairman issued a request for information. According to Sky News: Both witnesses spoke behind…

F*** Messi

Irish comedian Tadgh Hickey has a simple message as the World Cup progresses in the US: “Fuck Messi”. The Israel-linked Argentinian football star has been silent on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Hickey posted a heart-breaking video to his YouTube channel. While Egypt’s football coach has spoken out against the silence of many clubs and stars on the genocide, Hickey added no comment to his post apart from the pithy title. None is needed for those who watch the chilling video to the end: Fuck Messi. Featured image via Twitter By Skwawkbox Source link

Hillsborough Law marks a huge achievement for accountability but political will is crucial for it to work

The Public Office (Accountability) Bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons on Tuesday 14 July, and is now moving through the next stages of the legislative process. Also referred to as the Hillsborough Law, it will drastically improve the ability of ordinary people to get justice and accountability from those in power. In short, its purpose is to ensure the government is accountable for its actions and the very real human impact those actions can have, drawing its nickname from the Hillsborough disaster. Despite multiple attempts in the courts, none of the police officers or the former chief…

After a string of attacks on mosques and family homes, Hamd House School in the Bordesley Green area of the city, had to be evacuated after a bomb threat on Tuesday.

England vs Argentina: A tactical battle awaits

England will face Argentina in the World Cup 2026 semi-final in Atlanta, a meeting loaded with history, jeopardy and one last hurdle between Thomas Tuchel’s side and the final. Opta’s model calls it almost a coin toss: England at 52.5% to progress versus 23.4% to win the whole thing. This is where it can be won or lost: superstar collisions, width, set‑pieces, midfield control, defensive discipline and late‑game execution. England’s Bellingham to collide with World Cup giant Jude Bellingham and Lionel Messi arrive as the defining forces of their respective campaigns. Sixteen years separate them, but both have carried enormous attacking…
