Yvette Cooper - Labour MP for Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley (West Yorkshire) since 1997. Yvette is currently the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
This updated post will focus on the donations that Yvette has received. When you think of all the TV and radio interviews she does, not once does Yvette get asked about this; asked about her donors, the possible influence they have on the decisions she’s currently making and the clear conflict of interest impacting her role as Secretary of State for Health.
The @ElectoralCommUK website shows that Yvette has received £903,933.31 from various donors but it doesn’t tell the full story.
Two donors in particular have been very generous to Yvette: Gary Lubner and the multimillionaire and private healthcare tycoon Peter Hearn - individually and through his companies MPM Connect Ltd. and OPD Group Ltd.
Peter Hearn is closely linked to Dido Harding having ‘headhunted’ her for the role of Head of Test and Trace during the COVID pandemic. Hearn is also a major donor to Wes Streeting, Dan Jarvis and other prominent Labour MPs.
Yvette has accepted the following donations:
£210,000 from Gary Lubner (June 2023).
£189,370.75 from Peter Hearn.
£267,011.00 from Peter Hearn and MPM Connect Ltd.
£34,000 from Peter Hearn and OPD Group Ltd.
£162,061.35 from the Trevor Chinn, Martin Taylor, Lord Alli, Lord Sainsbury, Gary Lubner funded/Morgan McSweeney run consortium Labour Together/Think Labour.
£39,000 from Anthony Doyle
£5,000 from Sonny Leong.
£25,000 from property developer David Garrard.
£3,000 from lobbyist Edward Rodgers.
£5,040 from @GMB_union
£109,859 from Barbara Follett.
With her £171,053 salary, expenses, donations, housing allowances, her husband Ed Balls’ £2.5 million contract with @GMB (and net worth of £3-4 million), book royalties, perks and much more, Yvette has done very well indeed in her 29years as an MP.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, while condemning the savage aggressions and crimes committed by America, which are carried out with the complicity of the genocidal Zionist regime and the participation of some countries of the region, including by placing territory and facilities at its disposal, takes action with resolve to defend its rights, interests, and national security.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, as it has repeatedly affirmed, has no hostility with the countries of the region and seeks friendly relations based on mutual respect and good neighborliness with all the countries of the southern shore of the Persian Gulf. The Islamic Republic of Iran considers it the legal, religious, moral, and ethical duty of all the governments of the region to prevent the American-Zionist aggressors from using their territory and facilities for the design, preparation, and execution of criminal attacks against the Muslim and neighboring peoples, and, with reference to the definition of aggression (Resolution No. 3314 of the UN General Assembly), points out that Iran’s defensive strikes against the point of origin of America’s illegal attacks on Iran cannot in any way be portrayed as an attack by Iran on these countries.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on the inexhaustible power of God and under the insightful guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, His Holiness Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, and with the incomparable backing of the great people of Iran and the accumulated capabilities of the armed forces, intelligent diplomacy, and the empathy and accompaniment of the free Muslims and peoples of the region and the world, will continue its powerful defense of the dignity and national independence of Iran in the face of the savage assault of the axis of evil of the American-Zionist warmongers.
Without doubt, this heroic struggle is not only the defense of Iran’s essence against the illegal American-Zionist aggression, but is the Iranian nation’s defense of the fundamental principles of international law and the shared moral and human values, in the face of two regimes that harbor in their heads the dream of reviving brutal colonialism through naked force and the annihilation of nations in the region and the world.

Palestinian media report that Israeli forces have issued a demolition order for the family home of Faroukh Ramadan, resident of Tell, near Nablus, in the occupied West Bank who defended himself by seizing the weapon of an Israeli settler who was pointing the gun at him, opening fire and killing the armed settler.
BREAKING: The Israeli army has declared land belonging to the Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank a closed military zone.
This means Palestinian Christians will be barred from accessing their own land.
Yet these restrictions apply only to Palestinians. At the same time, Israeli settler terrorists continue establishing a new illegal outpost in the same area without being prevented from doing so.

What is happening with Spain, Morocco, and the massive border crisis in Ceuta?
A breakdown of the geopolitical standoff unfolding in North Africa:
Over 60,000 people crossed from Morocco into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta in just 24 hours.
For context, that is roughly 70% of the entire city's population overnight.
Earlier this year, conservative think-tank pieces (like Michael Rubin’s analysis in March) floated the idea of recognizing Ceuta and Melilla as "occupied territory", suggesting Morocco use a new "Green March" (mass civilian walk-in) to press its claims.
Op-eds in Israeli outlets like Ynet picked up on these themes, proposing diplomatic and demographic pressure on Spain in light of Madrid’s recent rifts with Washington and Jerusalem over NATO spending, base access, and Middle East policy.
Strategic Vulnerabilities;
NATO Loophole: Under current treaties, NATO’s collective defense provisions generally do not cover Spain’s North African enclaves, leaving their security reliant solely on bilateral border management.
Border Pressures: The enclaves have long been friction points where border enforcement, diplomatic leverage, and migration policies intersect.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called the mass crossing a breach of territorial integrity, deploying security reinforcements and seeking rapid returns.
Experts note the sudden wave puts immense political pressure on Madrid while bringing North Africa’s complex border dynamics back to the center of European geopolitics.

FIFA confirm highly controversial plans to form FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a new body that would oversee commercial rights and operational delivery. It requires private stakeholders and funding. UEFA are strongly opposed, viewing it as FIFA President Gianni Infantino selling stakes in the game.
It is understood Infantino is in line to be commissioner, likely after his expected election for one more term.
FIFA will seek to raise capital of up to USD 4.2 billion and have approached Josh Kushner's Thrive Capital as one potential key investor.
FIFA say "outside investors will have only a minority stake in FFE and will not play any operational role".
FIFA also argue this is all with the intent of expanding "football development funding to over USD 10 billion", and is subject to approval by the 2011 Member Associations, who will have a period of consultation to discuss plans.
FIFA add they will retain sole control of FFE and "exclusive authority over football governance, competitions, match calendar, and all regulatory and sporting decisions."
In addition, FIFA hope to establish the FIFA Fast Forward Programme (FFFP). Under this plan, all 211 Member Associations will be given the opportunity to participate and "access up to USD 20 million in one-off capital".
J.P. Morgan are working in partnership with FIFA on the project.
UEFA will not support FFE. In a statement they say, "None of us are the owners of football. It is not FIFA’s to sell."
🇵🇸 Israeli settlers uproot thousands of trees near Madama, southwest of Nablus
▪️ Village council head Rami Nassar said the council received an order on July 6 to remove trees along the settler bypass road known as Route 60. Around 1,000 trees were subsequently uprooted, most of them ancient olive trees.
▪️ On Friday, hours after four Palestinians were killed in nearby Tell, a settler from a recently established outpost northwest of Madama began uprooting more trees. Several bulldozers and heavy vehicles later joined the operation, which continued from 1 p.m. until 2 a.m.
▪️ Thousands of trees were uprooted across roughly 350 dunams of land. Nassar said the settlers acted without any prior order or military authorization.
▪️ On Sunday morning, the village council received a new Israeli military order authorizing the removal of still more trees.
