People Against Genocide raids Ultra I&C Aberdeen facility

At approximately 3am on Sunday 9 August, a 2-person People Against Genocide (PAG) team broke into the Aberdeen facility of leading military tech and cyber warfare company, Ultra Intelligence & Communications (Ultra I&C). Having entered the building, they barricaded themselves inside. The activists then set about dismantling equipment and computer equipment, in order to make it inoperable. From inside the building, they also spray painted “For the dead children of Gaza” on the wall. And they obtained masses of documents from the weapons firm. PAG has repeatedly targeted Ultra I&C facilities because it’s a key supplier to UAV Tactical Systems. UAV…

British farmers turn to winter feed as prolonged drought bites

Months of unusually dry weather have killed the grass that British farmer John Franklin’s sheep would normally graze on. Like other farmers, Franklin’s only contingency is to dip into the winter feed. He had been saving this feed for colder months, he told CGTN. His 200-acre farm, which also runs a shop and cafe selling local produce, has lost a third of its income this year as crops fail to meet market specifications and yields drop. He is not the only one. Research from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) suggests that the 2026 harvest is now likely to be…

Gary Stevenson’s wealth tax vs Dan Neidle’s land value tax: the difference explained

Gary Stevenson has been dismantling “childish” arguments against a wealth tax for years on YouTube. His Channel 4 documentary, How to Get Filthy Rich, packaged his arguments as a long-form show for a mainstream audience. Journalists focused on his clash with tax lawyer Dan Neidle, who called Gary’s annual wealth tax proposal “populist claptrap.” The sensationalism around the debate, however, belies a category error: a wealth tax and a land value tax target completely different things, and both can co-exist. Comparing acres and Apple In their discussion, Neidle accused Stevenson of being “unable to separate [his] emotional reaction to inequality with…

On 7 August, streamer Asmongold received a temporary ban after he made comments about the need to murder migrant children.

Streeting accepted donation from fraudster-linked think tank

Labour Defence Secretary Wes Streeting accepted a £30,000 donation from a think tank linked to convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried. David Lawrence David Lawrence was the co-founder and treasurer of Labour for the Long Term (LLT). But just days before setting up the think tank, Lawrence received a £500,000 “gift” from Bankman-Fried. In 2024, the “crypto king” was jailed for 25 years in an $11 billion fraud case. Lawrence previously worked as a parliamentary assistant to former Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy. Last February, Lammy held an “off the books” meeting with serial lobbyist Trevor Chinn, who has also made cash donations…

Reform UK declare Trumpian plan to send prisoners to hellish El Salvador facilities

Reform UK has declared its intention to pay El Salvador to rent spaces in its notoriously hellish prisons for the UK’s prisoners. The announcement marks the latest in a series of blatant human rights violations masquerading as political policy from the far-right party. And, of course, it just so happens to be a carbon copy of a Trump policy, to boot. Likewise, it forms part of Reform’s broader plan to massively ramp up already overinflated levels of imprisonment in the UK. This will also include a pledge to build “nightingale prisons” to incarcerate a further 12,000 inmates. ‘No serious answers’ On 9…

Burnham’s latest cost of living plan is textbook tinkering around the edges

Writing in the Guardian, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has released his latest plan for driving down the cost of living crisis. While the things he’s proposing aren’t objectionable, they are yet another example of tinkering around the edges. Too many people feel like modern life is designed to catch them out. It should be just as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to start it. And if something is advertised as half price, it should actually be half price. So I'm taking action. We’re taking every opportunity… — Andy Burnham (@andyburnham) August 10, 2026 Burnham reflects on modern life Burnham’s…

UEFA considers probe into ex-gen sec Infantino for relationship scandal

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is facing a new crisis that could lead to a fresh investigation into his conduct during the 16 years he spent at UEFA, amid allegations concerning an alleged relationship with a former employee, who received a six-figure financial settlement. The Telegraph has revealed how prominent figures within UEFA want to know whether the alleged relationship influenced decisions relating to the employee or others during Infantino’s tenure as general secretary. UEFA circa Infantino: A brief history Infantino joined UEFA in 2000 and rose through the ranks before taking up the post of general secretary. He stayed at UEFA until…

Lebanon’s Politics of Appeasement and the Illusion of Lausanne, 1949

Israel’s initial expectation of rapidly concluding a formal peace treaty with its northern neighbour in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War proved entirely illusory. The Failed Diplomacy of Lausanne In April 1949, the United Nations established the Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP), sponsoring multilateral Arab-Israeli peace negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was at Lausanne that Israeli diplomats discovered a sobering strategic reality: Tel Aviv had yielded its military toehold on the Litani River during the armistice negotiations in return for virtually nothing. The Israeli proposal submitted to the Lebanese delegation at Lausanne was stark in its simplicity, yet exceptionally…

Polanski: Burnham ‘negligent’ over refusal to call COBRA meeting

Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, has called out the government’s “gross negligence” on X over plans to press ahead with more oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. In 2026, the UK has experienced record-breaking temperatures and droughts. These weather conditions have resulted in water shortages, wildfires and crop failures. Given this, you’d expect Andy Burnham to have prioritised the matter. Instead, he’s given a thumbs up for more oil drilling and gone on holiday. The Labour Government have refused Green Party calls for a COBR meeting saying "supply chains are resilient." This is gross negligence. We need to act…

Farage reportedly called by-election on false information

Nigel Farage’s decision to call a by-election in Clacton confused everyone. People speculated that he forced the race to draw attention away from his many ongoing financial scandals. The problem with this theory is that the by-election actually drew more attention to Farage and his numerous controversies. Now, according to the Times, there may actually be a good reason for why he called the by-election. The problem is this ‘good reason’ ended up being a very bad one because Farage reportedly called the by-election on the understanding that it would permanently halt a parliamentary investigation. This is not the case, and…

Saudi Arabia used 86% of missile stockpile defending Iran attacks

Saudi Arabia has used 86% of its Patriot interceptor missiles, meaning it is now vulnerable to attacks from Yemen. It used these stockpiles in the first 38 days of the US and Israel’s illegal attacks on Iran, when Iran defended itself against Gulf nations propping up the US and Israeli regimes. This means that out of a stockpile of 2,800 PAC-3 interceptors, Saudi Arabia only has 400 remaining. Similarly, the US used 65% of its stockpiles, leaving the violent coloniser with only 850 out of 2,330 missiles.

Ben-Gvir’s crocodile project halted but abuses at Ketziot Prison continue

An Israeli occupation court has temporarily stopped the transfer of Nile crocodiles to Ketziot Prison in the Southern Negev, a facility used to hold Palestinian detainees from Gaza and the occupied West Bank, including freedom fighters. Planned use of crocodiles at prison was to further humiliate and dehumanise Palestinians The project, which was promoted by so-called national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, involved digging a moat around a high-security section of the prison, and filling it with crocodiles. It would have added a deliberately intimidating, humiliating and dehumanising spectacle to an already brutal detention environment for Palestinian prisoners, if given the go-ahead. It…

‘Israel’ isolates Palestinian prisoners from outside world, renewing ban on visits from their family, and ICRC

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club (PPC) has condemned the Israeli occupation’s  renewal of an order barring families from visiting Palestinian prisoners. It says the measure is part of a wider policy of isolating detainees and shielding prison authorities from scrutiny. No oversight or accountability for Israeli occupation’s crimes against Palestinian prisoners The order was announced by illegal settler, war criminal, and so-called Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. And it is a continuation of policies that have cut prisoners off from the outside world. According to the Club, the restrictions have created conditions in which torture, starvation, medical neglect and other abuses…

New allegations have reopened a dark chapter for the South Korean Football Association following a report by the South Korean network JTBC, which revealed that the organisation provided services, including “sexual entertainment,” to foreign referees during their visits to South Korea for international matches between 2011 and 2012. According to the report, JTBC based its findings on investigation documents from the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, dating back to 2016, as well as the association’s credit card records. These records reportedly showed payments linked to visits by referees to massage parlors and adult entertainment venues. The report details…

‘Reporter’ celebrates mass surveillance, showing exactly why we shouldn’t have billionaires

Fanatically pro-‘Israel’ rag The Free Press has embarrassed itself again, this time by singing the praises of a US mass surveillance camera system. In a recent report, stenographer-playing-the-role-of-journalist Maya Sulkin sings the praises of the Flock technology. The system is a network of over 100,000 licence plate reading cameras across the US that send the data they collect back to authorities, who can then precisely track the movement of millions of Americans. What The Free Press didn’t disclose is that they and Flock share a mutual investor — Andreessen Horowitz, a company founded by billionaires Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. This was pointed…
