Former senior UN human rights chief, Craig Mokhiber, has written a fierce opinion piece in Mondoweiss denying Israel’s right to exist. In the essay, he calls for the dismantling of the Israeli regime, which is on trial for genocide at the ICJ, charges that the court has found plausible enough to issue a series of preliminary orders — all of which the regime has ignored. Mokhiber calls for Israel to be replaced by a free Palestine with equal rights for all, which is not only a legal requirement but an “existential imperative for all of humanity”. My latest: No, Israel does…

Journalist Matt Kennard’s book Irregular Army shows how the ‘War on Terror’ pushed the US further into authoritarian extremism. And following the release of a new expanded and revised edition, we spoke to him to find out why the book remains so relevant today. War atrocities, neo-Nazis, and Trump The Declassified UK co-founder told the Canary that: The War on Terror militarised American political life. It taught the public to accept permanent emergency, surveillance, secrecy, executive violence, and the idea that whole populations could be treated as enemies. That logic did not stay in Fallujah or Kandahar; it came home. The…

An exposé by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) has laid bare how City of Sanctuary, a charity that promotes empathy and compassion towards asylum seekers and refugees, became the target of a far right misinformation campaign. Charity workers and schools faced death threats, Islamaphobic and hateful abuse for an activity meant to spread love. When freelance journalist Charlotte Gill took issue with one of the charity’s harmless Valentine’s Day activities, the charity found itself at the centre of a media storm. As part of the Schools of Sanctuary programme, students wrote heart-shaped welcoming cards for refugees to be displayed at schools and…

Cosmetic dentistry has evolved significantly over the past decade. Treatments that were once associated primarily with celebrities have become increasingly accessible to people looking to improve the appearance and function of their teeth. Among the most frequently discussed options are veneers and smile makeovers. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Understanding the difference between a smile makeover and veneers can help patients make more informed decisions about their treatment options and set realistic expectations for the final result. What Are Dental Veneers? Dental veneers are thin shells, typically made from porcelain or ceramic materials,…

Once again, white riots have erupted across the UK; these supremacist uprisings were fanned by the agitators who glorified police officers kicking a prone man in the head back in April. Now, however, the shoe is on the other skull: Was the way to get the right to care about police brutality just showing them when it happens to white people all along? https://t.co/wCpegp6PJm — JimmyTheGiant (@jimthegiant) June 14, 2026 Police do not protect people To make something clear up front, we’ve always opposed police brutality, regardless of who the victims are. And this is far from the first time police…

How to Choose the Right Security Door for Your Property Type

The right security door is not the same for every building. A terraced home, detached house, workshop, garage, and commercial unit all have different risks, access points, and practical requirements. Before comparing steel, composite, timber, or uPVC, it helps to understand what the door actually needs to do. A front door on a residential street may need to balance security with kerb appeal. A rear workshop door, on the other hand, may need to prioritise forced-entry resistance, frame strength, and durability above appearance. In most cases, the best choice comes down to four things: threat level, property type, durability, and any…

Reform is panicking about a party to its right in Makerfield

Reform UK was once an insurgent political party that aimed to steal hard-right voters from the Tory Party. At first, it seemed like Reform’s goal was to force concessions from the Tories — much like how UKIP did with the Brexit referendum. Surprising many, however, Reform actually ended up overtaking the Tories in the polls. In response, Farage attempted to replace the Conservatives completely by softening some of the rhetoric and accepting bus-loads of Tory defectors. Predictably, this led to another insurgent political party emerging — this time seeking to steal hard-right voters from Reform UK. The party in question is…

Why are the far right doing so well? And can they be stopped?

This is an AI-written (but human-edited) summary of Gary’s recent video: Why are the far right doing so well? And can it be stopped? Across the UK and Europe, far-right parties are surging. Reform are ahead in UK national polls. The AfD doubled its vote share in Germany. The mainstream response has oscillated between dismissal, alarm, and increasingly desperate attempts at imitation. Gary’s argument is that all of these responses share the same flaw. They are focused on the wrong question. The question is not how to discredit the far right. The question is why they are winning — and that…
