Infertility After the War: Is Gaza Facing a Reproductive Health Crisis?

  • Post last modified:14 August 2026

The consequences of war are often measured in the number of people killed, the scale of destruction, and the hospitals forced out of service. But in Gaza, another crisis is unfolding quietly – one whose consequences may extend for decades: a reproductive health crisis. Beyond the immediate injuries of war, thousands are living through conditions that may affect their ability to conceive and build families. Yet this issue receives little attention compared with the other dimensions of Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe. Uncertain futures For Palestinians, having children has long represented continuity, hope, and life. But war does not only kill people; it…

Campaigners to call on Burnham to shut down US bases at RAF Fairford

Campaigners from across the country are protesting at RAF Fairford this Saturday 15 August, calling on Prime Minister Andy Burnham to end Donald Trump’s use of British bases to illegally attack Iran. With thousands now killed in the US/Israeli illegal war on Iran, and serious risks of the war widening, the British government’s decision to allow the use of Fairford, has dragged the country even further into this devastating war. In late July, a US B-1 bomber from RAF Fairford was reported to have attacked Iran, in further breach of the ceasefire. In response, Iran’s foreign ministry stated that Britain is an ‘accomplice’…

Farage beats Bin, but Westminster Awaits: why Clacton is a trap, not a triumph

Nigel Farage has claimed victory in Clacton against a comedy recycling bin. But beneath the hubristic headlines lies a party mired in dodgy donor networks, an expanding ethics probe, and the very real prospect of a recall petition. On paper, Farage will point to the raw arithmetic of the ballot box. In a summer contest marked by broader voter apathy, one where turnout in the recent Greater Manchester mayoral race slumped to just 25%, Farage held Clacton’s turnout at 44.4% – still nothing to be proud of, though. He pushed his vote share to 63% and added 1,014 votes to his…

In recent days, the right-wing press have been circulating a story claiming that “the New Irish Republican Army” (New IRA) intend to launch a “campaign of violence” against migrants. As some of you may have seen on social media, the Canary even let this story through our editorial process, with a video from journalist Ani.Says being published. There’s one small problem – zero actual evidence has been provided to support this suggestion. The New IRA? The rumour appears to have first emerged on August 3, when conspiracist influencer ‘Andrew Jaoc’ posted a video claiming that: The old school [of the IRA]…

Five football transfer disasters

In the modern transfer market, big names and record-breaking fees are no guarantee of success. In fact, as the price tag climbs, so too do the expectations and the pressure. Too often, a player unveiled as the next global superstar ends up becoming one of the most regrettable football transfer disasters. As the summer 2026 transfer window heats up, with deal values reaching astronomical levels, questions are once again being asked: can clubs actually turn these massive financial gambles into success on the pitch? Manchester City shelled out roughly €135 million for Elliot Anderson, Chelsea spent nearly €137 million on Morgan…

Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning European champions, continue to assert their dominance over Premier League sides. The latest addition to their list of victims is Aston Villa, following PSG’s 2-1 victory in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup final at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria. This win confirms PSG’s ongoing superiority over English opposition, marking their ninth consecutive unbeaten match against Premier League clubs—a streak that began following their defeat to Chelsea in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final.

Burnham’s silence over violent anti-migrant Thetford riots speaks volumes

  • Post last modified:13 August 2026

Andy Burnham has been conspicuously silent about days of racist mobs rioting outside a hotel housing migrants in Norfolk. It’s a deeply worrying sign: Burnham might be worse in some regards than Starmer. Our newly-minted Prime Minister, given perhaps the easiest ride of any new leadership in living memory, has not been silent on various matters. Instead, he seems to have taken to governance by inane TikTok-first soundbites as his preferred method of leading the country. He’s been vocal about important matters like ranking pub confectionery and the difference between a barm and a butty. He also ‘revealed’ his favourite Greggs…

US MSM ups attacks on Hasan Piker as Forbes calls him “incendiary,” WSJ labels him “agitator,” NYP dubs him “notorious”

US mainstream media (MSM) steps up attacks on Hasan Piker, with Forbes calling him “incendiary,” the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) labelling him an “agitator” and “divisive figure driving Democrats up a wall,” and the New York Post calling him “notorious.” Forbes said: Left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker’s incendiary brand of politics has become a flashpoint in the divide within the Democratic Party over the rise of the progressive movement—with conservatives seizing on his controversial statements to claim Democrats have swayed too far left. So really, his offences are that he is a Turkish-origin American speaking his mind, challenging the status quo, mobilising young voters, and calling out…

Global nuclear security concerns raised as uranium being exported undeclared from Congo to China

Approximately 2,000 to 5,000 metric tons of undeclared uranium has been mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and exported to the People’s Republic of China (PRC), raising concerns about the proliferation of nuclear weapons, according to a new study. Uranium occurs naturally alongside cobalt ore. It is refined into cobalt metal, which is a critical material facing increasing demand for products supporting the transition away from fossil fuels, such as batteries. The naturally occurring uranium has been exported in large quantities alongside the cobalt ore for refining in China, but the uranium, which is enough to build as…

Following a review by lord John Mann, the NHS is set to ban political badges. This provoked a backlash from people who wish to show support for causes like the anti-genocide movement. And Labour MP Clive Lewis is among those speaking out. Solidarity Writing on the “notorious pro-Israel agitator John Mann” in June, Ed Sykes wrote for the Canary: All forms of racism are vile. But Mann and other pro-Israel politicians have long prioritised and weaponised antisemitism allegations to try and smear or silence critics of Israel. The new review seems to be a continuation of that. As we’ve reported previously, Mann…

Sharon Graham’s husband Jack Clarke created a misogynistic and toxic environment in the Unite the Union department he was given after she first became general secretary. In a series of abuses, Clarke joked about stabbing staff and colleagues were forced to go on sick leave, the Canary can reveal.  Two workplace grievances were filed against the then-head of the National Organising and Leverage Department’s Research Unit (OLRU) in 2018, which prompted an official investigation. In those grievances, shared exclusively with the Canary, staff complained of elevated blood pressure as a result of Clarke’s behaviour, for example, and “difficult” circumstances which left…

In July, US president Donald Trump secretly changed planes while several members of his administration flew on what’s been described as a ‘decoy plane’. This happened because of a supposed threat to the president’s life. And people have taken it as a sign that Trump was more than happy to use his top people as bait. Now, one of the people he left on the decoy plane has resigned – press secretary Karoline Leavitt. And people are speculating it’s directly linked to Trump’s airborne shenanigans: Karoline Leavitt announced her resignation 24 hours after she found out that Trump left her for…

Thames Water is one of the most scandal-struck companies in the UK. The good news is it’s so in debt that the UK could use special measures to take it into public hands without paying them out. Unfortunately, though, the government doesn’t seem to have much interest in doing so. This is why We Own It is encouraging voters to write to their MPs: Regulation hasn't stopped scandal after scandal at Thames Water. But their PR war to keep their hands on its assets continues.

British taxpayers funded “therapeutic healing” for Israeli soldiers who fought in Gaza, Declassified can reveal. An Israeli organisation received the undisclosed sum via a UK charity, with 25% Gift Aid added on by the British government. Emails obtained by Delcassified show how the Yahalom Foundation – an Israeli veterans group – tells British supporters to channel their donations via its “registered partner platform in the UK”. “Processing your donation through them ensures you receive full tax recognition and enabled Gift Aid, maximising the impact of your contribution,” it says. “100% of your gift is routed directly to Yahalom to support our…

UK government covering up Israeli spy firm’s Scottish election interference

The UK Government is refusing to publish any information it holds on a shadowy Israeli firm caught meddling in Scottish parliamentary elections. It cites a dubious Freedom of Information (FOI) exemption which allows documents to be withheld if they would supposedly prejudice relations between the United Kingdom and any other state. In other words, the UK’s security apparatus values its “relations” with the settler-colonial apartheid regime over its duty to its own Scottish citizens. That says all you need to know about Westminster rule. Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s UK Government refuses to publish files linked to Zionist spy firm BlackCore. BlackCore…

Almost 600 Coastguards have called for a vote of no confidence in the chief executive of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). GMB Union wrote to the MCA chair Lord Stevens in July to ‘formally express our lack of confidence in the leadership of the MCA under Chief Executive Virginia McVea’. Since then, 580 Coastguards across the UK have signed up to the no confidence vote. Lord Stevens has not yet responded to GMB, and the union has now written a further letter to ‘formally escalate the concerns previously raised’.

Gold production and global power struggles are fuelling a brutal and escalating conflict in Mali, one of Africa’s biggest countries. With the UK being a key player in the global gold trade, what role do we have to play? The battle to trade other people’s gold London has a central position in the global gold trade, despite producing almost no gold itself. The Bank of England, for example, boasts that it’s: the second-largest custodian of gold in the world This is part of the lingering financial power that justifies the US empire keeping the UK on as a junior partner.
