EGYPT COACH RAISES PALESTINE FLAG AFTER WIN AGAINST AUSTRALIA

[Wokerati Marty @WokeratiMarty]

Remember in 2019, when Jeremy Corbyn warned that a Boris Johnson trade deal with the US would force the NHS to pay far more for drugs, and was laughably accused of getting the documents from Russia?

Well, as usual, Corbyn was right—but in the end, it was Starmer who did it.

🚨 Jürgen Klopp Questions Controversial VAR Call That Broke Iran's Hearts Against Egypt

🗣“This isn't really about tactics or the quality of the football anymore. The only thing everyone will be talking about is the decision to disallow Iran's late goal.

At a World Cup, every decision carries enormous weight. If VAR is going to overturn a goal in a moment like that, it has to be based on clear, undeniable evidence. I don't think we saw that here.

The toughest part is what it did to the players and the supporters. They believed they had scored the goal that would send them into the Round of 16. They celebrated, they lived that moment, and then it was taken away.

VAR was introduced to remove obvious mistakes, not to leave millions of people arguing over whether the right decision was made. If there's still this much uncertainty after watching the replays, then something has gone wrong.

I feel for Iran because moments like these can define a generation. At the biggest tournament in football, everyone deserves decisions that are beyond doubt.”

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović: “Iran Were Robbed. Football Owes Them an Apology.”

“People will celebrate Egypt qualifying, and they deserve credit because they fought until the final whistle. But if we are honest with ourselves, Iran were robbed of a moment that could have changed everything.

I watched that match from start to finish. Iran played with courage, intensity and belief. They stood toe-to-toe with one of Africa’s strongest sides, and when they finally thought they had found the winning goal, the celebrations exploded… only for VAR to silence an entire nation seconds later.

Football is cruel, I know that better than most. But sometimes it is not about losing—it’s about feeling like destiny was taken from your hands. Iran left everything on that pitch. They pressed, they defended with heart, they attacked without fear, and they never looked like a team that deserved to walk away with only one point.

People will remember Egypt reaching the Round of 32. I will remember the Iranian players collapsing to the turf after that disallowed goal. That image tells the real story of the night. They believed they had written history, and in an instant it disappeared.

Whether the decision was technically correct or not, football isn’t only about rules—it is also about emotions. Iran deserved better. They deserved to celebrate that moment, or at the very least, they deserved to leave knowing they were beaten by football, not by controversy.

Sometimes the scoreboard doesn’t tell you who truly won the respect of the world. Last night, Iran earned mine.”

Corbyn's spokesperson said: "Keir Starmer ends as he started: with lies.
"Corbyn turned Labour into the largest party in Europe, built and funded by half a million people who believed in social justice and peace.
"Starmer swapped political principles for corporate donors - and leaves behind a legacy of broken pledges, grotesque inequality and complicity in genocide. If that isn’t moral bankruptcy, then what is?"

[James Mealey @Jamesmealey10]

@StarmertheFraud Given such powers imagine if a politician like Peter Kyle or Nick Timothy was home secretary - possibly more subservient to foreign powers than the disgraced Cooper and Mahmood.

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

I've now had a chance to read this Bill. It is a genuinely alarming piece of legislation and typical of the draconian, authoritarian politics of the Labour Together Project, in which Mahmood has been a key player.

The Bill gives the Home Secretary nearly untrammelled power to designate any "group" working to advance a "foreign state threat." They are a "threat" if they pursue any objective that is inimical to the "interests" of the UK. Anyone who "supports" a designated group, like endorsing it or sharing its messages online, faces 14 years in prison.

This is so broadly written that it invites - almost guarantees - abuse. In the context of a potential far-right government, it is madness to put such draconian legislation on the books.

We already have two examples of how the state or political actors have effectively fabricated foreign state connections.

First, in manufacturing consent towards the proscription of Palestine Action, it was leaked to the press that there were links between the direct action group and Iran. But this was entirely false, as the government's Counter-Extremism advisor sheepishly admitted months later to Channel Four.

Second, I have personal experience of this. We now know that in response to my investigations into the unlawful conduct of Labour Together and Morgan McSweeney, Labour Together hired APCO Worldwide to investigate me, my colleagues and associates. The end result was a mad dossier alleging that I was a catspaw of foreign intelligence services, working to disrupt British democracy. I've now seen some of the "raw intelligence" on which this was based: literally everything I have seen was fabricated out of whole cloth, the thumb-suck of some swivel-eyed "intelligence" source. We now know that the most senior people in the Labour Party knew about this and didn't seem to bat an eye. Some of them even seemed to believe this web of absurd idiocy.

Anybody who has spent time at the coalface of investigating powerful people or standing up to militarism and forever-wars knows how legislation like this works. Secret intelligence is used to designate groups and people. That intelligence is classified, so the accused can't even see what they're accused of. Judges are given secret briefings where intelligence officials deliver doom-laden analysis, but they can't be cross-examined by the lawyers of the accused. Whispers and innuendo, the lubricant of the sort of "intelligence" that led to war in Iraq, are spun into concrete facts and grave national security threats.

This is not hyperbole - it is literally what has happened when campaigners have tried to challenge the sale of arms to Israel and Saudi Arabia, where campaigners themselves were not able to see, hear or test the evidence of the state at trial. In every instance, judges have then decided that they have no power to gainsay the State.

As this government collapses under the weight of unpopularity and scandal, it is now delivering for the reactionary forces that helped to put it in place through systematic and pre-meditated dishonesty. The result is a lattice-work of legislation and practice designed to criminalise and constrain dissent in the face of genocide, war, environmental degradation and the sort of corruption that turns state murder into money and misconduct into power.

There is every chance that within a week, Andy Burnham will be challenging Starmer for power. It is plausible Burnham could be Prime Minister by September.

His task, amongst many, will be to seek accommodation with progressive voters and movements that have abandoned the Labour Party. There will be plenty of discussion about the wisdom of that move from both sides. But it is likely to fail unless a Burnham government reverses course on the Starmer project's assaults on protest, jury trials, dissent, free speech and basic civil liberties.

And none of that is plausible as long as Mahmood, or any other Labour Together alumni, remains in post.

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

While @ZackPolanski was struggling to make ends meet like so many in the UK (and is now cleared of council tax offences), the Labour Party was taking a £4m donation from Quadrature Capital, a "quant-based" trading and hedge fund that has held shares in arms companies involved in Gaza.

Quadrature's immediate parent company, QC Ventures, is based in the Cayman Islands.

The £4m donation was made in May 2024 to fund the Labour Party's General Election campaign... but wasn't made public until after the election. No one knew that the Party had taken its largest ever single donation and from whom until after Starmer had been elected Prime Minister.

Some handy updates since then...

In October 2025, Quadrature declared that it had made a yearly profit of £410m as of the end of January 2025. Quadrature paid out dividends of £360m.

Two months ago, it was revealed that the co-founder and co-director of Quadrature, Sunil Seitiya, spent at least £265 million buying Providence House in Chelsea. It is the most that has ever been spent on a private house sale in the UK.

Providence House is based on a two-acre plot and has the second largest private garden in central London after Buckingham Palace.

Here's the kicker: Seitiya bought the property from Nick Candy. Nick Candy has been the Treasurer of Reform since December 2024.

Whatever you might think of Polanski, or Reform, or Starmer, isn't it strange you've likely heard of Polanki's Council Tax but none of this?

And, if you had heard of it, wouldn't you end up wondering - isn't this just one big club?

CALL FOR EVIDENCE: THE LABOUR TOGETHER PARLIAMENT

Please share widely and help us expose the hyper-factional remaking of the Parliamentary Labour Party by the Labour Together/Morgan McSweeney project.

Submissions to be made to [email protected]

Shadow World Investigations (SWI) and Paul Holden - author of The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney and the Crisis of British Democracy – are today announcing a new investigative project about the transformation of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) under the Labour Together Project.

This long-germinating project is soliciting evidence about how Labour Party processes were used (and abused) to manipulate the selection of Labour MP candidates who now make up the majority of the PLP.

Sir Keir Starmer was the frontman for a scandalous political project that spent the best part of a decade remaking the Labour Party along rigidly factional and exclusionary lines.

The most consequential transformation was of the Parliamentary Labour Party.

Two thirds of the Labour MPs currently sitting in the House of Commons were selected through a process tightly controlled by Morgan McSweeney and his allies, allegedly with direct (albeit informal) input from Peter Mandelson. Labour Together, and its key donors, then spent over £2 million on getting this intake of MPs elected.

The selection process that McSweeney oversaw was beset by allegations of misconduct and irregularities so widespread that veteran journalist Michael Crick warned of potential ‘corruption’. One MP selection has resulted in criminal charges being filed against Labour officials.

These are the MPs that not just determine the future of the country but will play a key role in either making or breaking the political fortunes of whoever next succeeds Starmer.

In a follow up to The Fraud, SWI, Paul Holden and Jessica Murray will be embarking upon ‘The Labour Together Parliament’ project to examine the legitimacy of the process that resulted in the current Parliament, upon which any Labour government will rest.

What we need as a first step is information.

We would like evidence of any wrongdoing or stitch-ups during the selection process. We would like to build a collection of evidence about the ways in which bureaucrats forced through or manipulated the selection process, including in the finalisation of longlists and shortlists, and, where it happened, the decision being removed from local democratic decision making altogether.

We are particularly interested in the vote tallies from every Labour candidate selection between 2022 and 2024. These have not been routinely published.

We are particularly interested in tallies that distinguish between postal/online/and in-person votes. These different vote tallies would have been provided to losing candidates. Sometimes they were only read out in selection meetings. We are not only looking for results that seem ‘dodgy’ – but all vote tallies, including those that are not in the least suspicious. This will allow us to build a holistic database and rigorously test different hypotheses.

We would also like tallies from candidate selections in seats that weren’t Labour targets and didn’t result in any MP. Ideally, it would be great if we could be provided with contemporaneous evidence of these vote tallies – such as a screenshot of a message or email relaying the result.

We would also be interested in narrowing down which CLPs used Anonyvoter for MP selection, even if the vote tallies are not available.

Please send any information you think is relevant to the selection of the current PLP [email protected].

And please share this call for evidence widely!

"Environment Agency accused of 'lip-service' on sewage crisis after downgrading 96% of serious pollution incidents."

Yep you read that correctly, not only has the EA being allowing water companies to mark their own homework they've being joining in the fun down grading the most serious pollution incidents to get them off their books, close the files and hope no-one notices.

Well, they've been caught.

Brilliant words from Tim Crossland outside today’s Palestine Action court case (courtesy of Crispin Flintoff):

“This is a self-defeating judgement from the state today. All we have to do is sit down with our signs saying ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.’”

[Thomas Piketty @PikettyWIL]

The current international order is plutocratic. In the IMF, rich countries have four times more voting rights than their population share, while poor countries have four times less. It is essential to move away from this plutocratic system to a new democratic order with a one-person one-vote order.

[Thomas Piketty @PikettyWIL]

The world today is characterized by large-scale inequalities. And a climate crisis is looming over us.

We urgently need a new vision for global progress in the 21st Century. One that grounds human development and equality in planetary habitability.

What would it take to achieve high prosperity and equality while remaining within planetary boundaries?

The World Inequality Lab is very excited to launch the #GlobalJusticeReport.
