Serious scabies outbreak in Israeli occupation prisons is part of the policy of torture and slow killing used against Palestinian political prisoners

A dangerous and rapidly escalating outbreak of the skin disease scabies is again sweeping through Israeli occupation prisons. This is causing huge suffering to the many thousands of Palestinian political prisoners who, for the past few years, have intentionally had the worst conditions ever inflicted on them. Abdullah al-Zighari, head of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, told the Canary: The Israeli occupation system is carrying out acts of retaliation against Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, by denying them the necessary medical care, posing a serious threat to their lives. “Intentional health catastrophe” and deliberate deprivation of treatment for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli…

The foul racism of leading Israel mouthpieces in response to mosque shooting

Laura Loomer (screenshot). Laura Loomer is one of the best-known, most fanatical US Israel mouthpieces. She is also one of the closest to the Trump regime and has advocated feeding immigrants to alligators. She is also one of the most odious. And in response to the San Diego mosque shooting, she spewed out naked racism that would see her on trial had she — unthinkably — been a Muslim saying a quarter of the same about a synagogue attack. Two fascist gunmen murdered three Muslims in the attack. Many US ‘mainstream’ media outlets somehow managed to make it about a nearby…

Watch: “think of the 10,000 Palestinian prisoners” — flotilla abductees arrive in Ireland

Irish citizens criminally abducted by Israel from the humanitarian Gaza flotilla arrived back in Ireland last night. Israel beat, tortured and in many cases raped or sexually assaulted them and hundreds of volunteers from other countries. But their thoughts and words were for the 10,000+ Palestinians — including 400 children — Israel holds without charge. They are tortured and raped every day, even more brutally. Flotilla vs daily reality The white faces among the flotilla victims has generated a small amount of equivocating western media interest. But for the Palestinians, such abuse is an everyday, horrific reality: View this post on…

The economist billionaires fear: this is how we get a wealth tax

This is an AI-written (but human-edited) summary of Gary’s recent video: The economist billionaires fear: this is how we get a wealth tax In his previous video on Rory Stewart, Gary promised that the response to accusations of fringe economics would not just be rhetoric, it would be evidence. He said he was reaching out to the most reputable economists in the world who share his analysis, and that the first to appear on the channel would be Gabriel Zucman. Who Is Gabriel Zucman? Gary opens by contextualising his guest. Zucman is a professor at the Paris School of Economics and…

The 2026 World Cup could turn into a global climate crisis

A few days before the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup, environmental warnings are escalating around the tournament, which is supposed to be the biggest in football history, but is now poised to become the “most climate-destructive” since the tournament began. The Guardian revealed that the edition, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, does not appear to be just an exceptional sporting event, but a massive project that could leave an unprecedented carbon footprint. This is due to the enormous expansion in the number of teams, matches, and host cities, alongside the almost complete reliance on…

Does the 2026 World Cup ball really need charging?

The World Cup ball is no longer just a piece of rubber and air, as fans have known it for decades, but has transformed in the 2026 World Cup into a comprehensive technological tool containing electronic sensors and advanced tracking systems, to the extent that it requires charging before matches. The Spanish newspaper AS revealed that the new official match ball for the 2026 World Cup, named “Trionda,” contains a smart chip embedded within its structure, which necessitates pre-charging so it can transmit data during games. The newspaper explained in its report that the battery works for several continuous hours, while…

FIFA has a ‘crazy’ idea for the 2030 World Cup

Global football is moving toward a new phase of organisational debate, as the proposal to expand the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams has resurfaced in discussions within the FIFA, a development that reflects a broadening scope of thinking about the future of the world’s most-watched tournament. According to AS newspaper, the idea, which originated as a proposal from the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), is no longer a fleeting suggestion, but has transformed into a file under discussion within some decision-making circles at FIFA, amidst growing support from parties who believe the World Cup should move toward a more inclusive…

Labour’s summer cost of living policies reduce it to the Groupon administration

Labour has announced some cost of living policies that treat voters as children. Rather than any significant economic strategy for real change, the ruling party is offering voters temporary gimmicks like no import tariffs on chocolate and biscuits for the summer. Instead, Labour could deliver cost price essentials such as water, energy and telecomms to significantly reduce costs for every person and business. Labour — The gimmicks It’s almost laughable. This is the Groupon administration. As well as cutting costs for supermarkets on trivial items, the ruling party is cutting VAT on summer days out for families from 20% to 5%.…

New EHRC guidance both clarifies and complicates the legal rights of trans people

There is a familiar refrain that follows my partner and I as we navigate the UK’s public bathrooms. As a gender-nonconforming couple, we’re painfully aware of the transphobic discourse that overshadows our daily lives. Approaching a set of bathrooms whilst out and about, and not wanting to draw more attention to ourselves, one or both of us will groan, before announcing with resignation: Time to do ‘gender’… It will be a situation familiar to many trans people. The so-called ‘bathroom ban’, fought for by anti-trans activists, has become notorious for making the lives of cis and trans people alike more complicated.…

How Palmer and Foden lost Tuchel’s battle for the England number 10s

Two years can feel like a lifetime in football, and none more so than for Cole Palmer and Phil Foden who were firmly at the top of the England pecking order after Euro 2024.  They were winners of major individual awards, fixtures in Gareth Southgate’s big-game plans, and widely tipped to be central to England’s future. Fast forward to the present and both are conspicuously absent from Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad. The shift is stark, and it’s driven by one brutal truth: form matters more than pedigree under Tuchel. Palmer and Foden’s trajectories were once parallel. Both came through Manchester…

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…

Will AI destroy the economy?

This is an AI-written (but human-edited) summary of Gary’s recent video: Will AI destroy the economy? Gary opens the video with a question that has been circling in public debate for the past two years: will artificial intelligence make ordinary people richer and more productive, or will it steal their jobs and leave them worse off? His answer, characteristically, is that neither of the dominant narratives is quite right — and that the past has already given us the evidence we need to work out what is actually going to happen. The guide he reaches for is the Industrial Revolution. Two…

Have I been wrong on the economy this whole time?

This is an AI-written (but human-edited) summary of Gary’s recent video: Have I been wrong on the economy this whole time? Gary returned from six months of filming a Channel 4 documentary to find that the biggest piece of gossip in his absence had been generated by Rory Stewart, former Conservative MP and co-host of The Rest is Politics — the UK’s most-listened-to politics podcast. In a November interview with Green Party leader Zack Polanski, Stewart had questioned Gary’s credibility as an economist, implying he lacked serious qualifications for the role. Gary came back and watched it. He found it interesting…
