Milburn report is contradicted by what the DWP is doing

Yesterday saw the release of the interim report of the Milburn Review into youth unemployment. However, it completely contradicts everything the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is already doing to make life harder for unemployed and disabled young people. A media circus instead of support The long-awaited report was supposed to delve into why so many young people are unemployed. However, that was never going to be the whole story when it was run by Alan Milburn. Once you got past the DWP-created media circus, the report was Milburn’s attempt to prove his foregone conclusion that young people were faking…

DWP Milburn Report is another excuse to throw disabled kids under the bus

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) released the interim report for the Milburn Review on Youth Unemployment yesterday. The report was an exercise in how the DWP has a compliant corporate media at its beck and call. But as always, we need to look at the parts of the report the DWP didn’t want shouted from the rooftops. Corporate shills marching to the DWP’s beat The corporate media, of course, had a field day yesterday getting to crow about the ‘lost generation’, especially those with mental health conditions. At one point, both the BBC and Guardian were running live rolling…

Labour chair Anna Turley has issued an ultimatum to Nigel Farage: he has 24 hours to report his claim to have been a victim of a Russian hack to security services. If not, Turley plans to do it for him.  It’s “in the public and national interest” to make sure that a possible attack by a foreign state is investigated properly, according to the letter Turley sent to the Reform leader. Farage needs to sound the espionage alarms On 23 May, Farage claimed that counter-espionage experts employed by Reform had found proof that Russian hackers used spear phishing to break into…

Birds of prey report exposes upper-class bloodlust

A disgusting new report has landed from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and it’s damning. Between 2015 and 2024, there were 921 illegal attacks on protected birdlife across the UK and the data shows that criminals are targeting raptors in disgustingly cruel ways. The charity’s Patterns of Persecution report also states that more than half of these confirmed kills have taken place near or on land managed for game shooting. These are the hunting grounds of the wealthy and the landed gentry, so of course, this needless slaughter is being driven by profit. Their excuse? Gamekeepers slaughter innocent…

UK government trying to ‘cover up’ its ’embarrassment’ over nature and national security report

The government has been accused of seeming to “cover up” its “embarrassment” by trying to hide an explosive report, which revealed the dire state of the climate and biodiversity emergencies. The comments were made after the Cabinet Office rejected a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request from the Canary, which asked the Prime Minister’s Office to release documents showing discussions between officials about the timing of the publication of the Nature security assessment on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security. The assessment was published in January 2026 following an FOI request from the Green Alliance think tank. It was…

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and War on Want have issued letters to 15 Premier League clubs. They’re raising concerns about the clubs’ complicity in Israeli atrocities via their ties to companies linked to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and apartheid across the Occupied Palestinian Territories. These findings come from War on Want’s latest report: Red Card: English Premier League Sportswashing of Israel’s Atrocities against the Palestinians. ICJP has also supported the report. The report details the connections of at least 15 Premier League club sponsors to Israel’s devastating military assault and blockade on Gaza, construction of illegal settlements,…
