Two Essex police officers in an unmarked car have stopped a jogger in or near Southend on Sea for carrying a Palestine flag. The stop is just the latest in a string of incidents of police harassing or even arresting people protesting peacefully against genocide. Journalist and editor at the Grayzone, Wyatt Reed, published to X the video capturing these moments, first shared by Palestine Pulse. The jogger keeps his cool, records the incident and uses the opportunity to explain that he is upset about Britain’s collusion in Israel’s murder of Palestinian children. The police captured in the recording avoid saying…

How the far right targeted City of Sanctuary with misinformation campaign

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…

Switzerland finally snapped their long‑running World Cup knockout drought with a composed, controlled 2-0 win over Algeria in Vancouver, booking their place in the last 16 and ending 88 years of frustration on the biggest stage. Goals from Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye delivered a landmark night for Murat Yakin’s side, who now move on to face either Colombia or Ghana. Algeria arrived with intent, energy and a clear plan to unsettle Switzerland early. For the opening minutes, it worked. They pressed high, moved the ball sharply and forced the Swiss back. But once Switzerland found their rhythm, the game tilted…

The Starmer government’s new ‘pharmaceutical deal’ surrender to the Trump regime will cost well over than 200,000 British lives, according to new analysis.

The report’s findings were covered by Sky: “.. a new drug supply deal between the US & UK could lead to more than 200,000 avoidable deaths. That’s because billions.. of NHS funding needs to be diverted under the agreement” The Lab right govt is letting profiteering US companies rip us off to the tune of £44.7bn by…

The Telegraph has reported on a secret dossier put together by a former MI6 British intelligence officer which exposes paedo-pal Lord Mandelson as being a “privileged contact” of the Russians. Former MI6 spy Christopher Steele used to be the head of MI6’s Russia desk. Since leaving, he compiled a report under the codename “Project Fish” which detailed how, for over 30 years, Russian spies saw Epstein’s close confidant ‘Petie’ as: one of the most significant RIS [Russian intelligence services] achievements in manipulating UK politics. Given Mandelson was one of the loudest accusers against Corbyn making the scandalous claim that the left-wing…

Erling Haaland’s 60th international goal was not merely another milestone in his career. Instead, it was a figure that carried a greater message to the world of football. The Norwegian striker needed just 53 international appearances to reach this milestone, placing himself in direct comparison with the greatest goalscorers of the modern era and confirming that his path towards record-breaking feats is proceeding at an exceptional pace. Haaland’s achievement came during Norway’s campaign at the 2026 World Cup, after he took his tally to 60 international goals – a figure that France’s Kylian Mbappé needed 100 matches to reach, whilst Argentina’s…

On Friday, 27 June, in a room at the US State Department, Lebanon’s ambassador to Washington — with zero diplomatic credentials prior to this post — signed her name to a “framework agreement” with Israel. US secretary of state Marco Rubio beamed that it was “the beginning of the beginning.” As usual, in spite of American imperial pomp the ‘agreement’ is not what it appears, as Al Jazeera reported: he agreement does not force Israel to withdraw from the large area of southern Lebanon that it continues to occupy, and Israel also appears to be signalling that it will continue its…

White supremacists firebomb another Muslim family’s home with three young children inside

A home in Blackburn has been targeted by white supremacists with a firebomb, Islamophobia written all over the attack. Three young children, including a 7-month-old baby, were inside the home, but thankfully all were able to escape before suffering any fatal injuries. However, this is the latest in a growing number of Islamophobic attacks committed by white supremacists in recent months, encouraged by far-right pundits and politicians profiting from the hate and division that has left many Muslim families fearing for their safety. In fact, recent calls to withdraw the definition of Islamophobia suggest this is just the start of a…

Exclusive: Unite tells Community members ‘cancel fuel poverty protest with Greenpeace’

Unite Community (UC), set up by then-general secretary Len McCluskey, is the Unite union’s section for unwaged people — and Unite’s most politically active. But members and officials feel marginalised by new general secretary Sharon Graham. They resent the union’s interference in their political activities, and have now been told they can’t participate in a climate protest. Probably because of who created it, and its campaigning focus, ‘workplace-only’ Graham was planning to wind down Unite Community and merge it with the retired members’ section. Graham U-turned on the plan after Skwawkbox exposed it — but the interference continues. Graham is currently…

The Norwegian national team’s appearance at the 2026 World Cup was not merely a return after a long absence. Rather, it has felt like the reclaiming of a whole identity, bringing the fans back to the forefront – this time with a different face and a louder voice from the stands. Whenever the team achieved a positive result, a now-familiar scene would unfold: hundreds of supporters sitting in tight rows, swaying in unison, as if rowing together in a single ship navigating the tournament’s waves. A simple scene in appearance, yet it quickly became a defining feature of this summer’s World…

WATCH: Scottish MP Lara Bird mogs ‘royal’ oath with crossed fingers

  • Post author:
  • Post last modified:25 June 2026

Scottish MP Lara Bird bested the archaic royal oath of allegiance with what look like crossed fingers when she was sworn into Parliament this week. Crossing one’s fingers when making a promise means that the would-be promiser has no intention of sincerely holding that promise. Bird therefore smartly worked her way around the anachronistic ‘pledge of allegiance’ to the Windsors. This amounts to what Gen-Z and Gen-A would call a ‘mogging’ of the British crown. And too right — MPs are elected to serve us all, not just one wealthy family. It’s time more MPs did the same. In making her…

On 20 June, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security issued a statement condemning the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) anti-trans Code of Practice, which is currently up for parliamentary scrutiny. For those unfamiliar, the Lemkin Institute is a multinational, non-governmental organisation which monitors for signs of genocide around the world. It was named for Raphael Lemkin, the Polish-Jewish lawyer who coined the term ‘genocide’, and campaigned to instate the UN’s convention on the crime. In the past year, the institute has issued red flag warnings for Israel’s genocidal actions in Palestine and Lebanon, Trump’s threats against…

Scotland’s highest civil court has ruled that guidance allowing some trans women to be housed in women’s prisons was unlawful. This is undoubtedly another setback in an increasingly hostile environment for trans people across the UK. It is incredible how fast the legal arguments fall in line once political appetite changes. And now that fascism is creeping across the UK, clearly the most vulnerable communities are facing the sharpest end of oppression. Human rights for some The Court of Session ruled that Scottish prison guidance was unlawful because it allowed some trans women to be accommodated in the women’s estate following…

For more than an hour in Los Angeles, this World Cup group B clash drifted without rhythm. Switzerland had the ball, Bosnia-Herzegovina had the threat on the break, and neither side looked capable of landing a decisive punch. Then Murat Yakin turned to his bench and the tie flipped on its head. Johan Manzambi, just 20 years old and barely settled into the game, detonated the contest with a thunderous volley only 166 seconds after coming on. It was the spark Switzerland had been searching for, the moment that cracked open a stubborn match and set the tone for a 4-1 win…
