Two years of lying about bombing hospitals in Gaza – supposedly to target "Hamas control and command centres" underneath – has really paid off.

Now Israel bombs Lebanon's hospitals and doesn't even need to pretend there's a military rationale.

We’ve filed the court papers. We don’t believe the government acted legally when it ripped up NHS price controls at the behest of Donald Trump and Big Pharma. They must bring this deal to parliament.

Tonight's meeting in Auchtertool about the 600MW AI data centre.
Fifers are furious. Looks like Fife Council fast-tracking data centre despite it:
- Consuming half of Scottish household electricity
- No Environmental Impact Assessment EIA
- Looking like it has landed from space

Emily Thornberry has today said the government has let down the Palestinian people, and allowed Israel to act with impunity.

The audacity.

Here she is in October 2023 refusing to condemn Israel cutting off power and supplies to Gaza.

Don’t let these people rewrite history.

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

Can you imagine a situation where our current UK politicians put embargo’s on sending weapons to Israel?
Because that’s what happened in the 1970’s.

Edward Heath halted weapons supplies during the October 1973 war. After that, Margaret Thatcher imposed an embargo that lasted 12 years until 1994, triggered by Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982 — she even withdrew Israel’s invitation to a British Army Equipment Exhibition.

Because no one listened to the environmentalists who said unchecked corporate pollution was the bigger issue.

The shattered little glasses of this shattered little child, through which he had viewed the shattered existence of Gaza all around him.

Meanwhile, Western supporters of the regime can plainly see the entire genocidal shattering going on and choose to turn a blind eye to it.

Here is imperial psychology, laid flat:

Violence flowing outward from America is "policy."

Violence flowing inward toward America is "evil."

American poverty is "individual failure."

Other countries' poverty is their "culture," their "corruption," their "institutional weakness," never the centuries of extraction and the eighty years of postwar economic arrangements that kept transferring their wealth somewhere else.

American military presence in 80 countries is "stability."

Any other country's military base near American soil is "aggression."

This framework is not argued for.

It is simply assumed.

Built into the grammar of how they discuss the world.

You absorb it before you are old enough to question it.

By the time you could question it, it feels like "common sense."

Breaking that framework doesn't feel like learning.

It feels like losing something.

That is exactly why so many refuse to do it.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

Who is pulling the strings?!

The court today in Edinburgh has changed its decision over the exact same issue raised in January, following pressure from UK ministers.

This is not democratic process. It’s corruption in our courts.

My latest Substack article examines the latest shocking developments in Labour's nationwide rollout of Data centres.
Across Wales, Scotland, and England, the largest peacetime infrastructure seizure of community land and energy in modern British history is accelerating.
It did not begin with Keir Starmer’s January 2025 announcement that Britain would become an “AI superpower.”
It began with Brexit, and a deliberate choice by the Conservative government to exploit the removal of EU state aid rules, rules that previously prevented governments from funnelling public money into private corporate pockets inside deregulated zones, to create what this writer has been documenting for nearly a decade: a network of Special Economic Zones, Freeports, and now AI Growth Zones, functioning as sovereignty-lite enclaves where normal planning rules, environmental standards, and democratic accountability are stripped back.
Please subscribe to my Substack, I'm a volunteer who has uncovered the biggest corporate political heist of the commons in UK history. I call it Zone Fever.

[The Fraud @StarmertheFraud]

Joint Statement: Paul Holden and Andrew Feinstein Regarding Labour Together, APCO and the Labour Party

On Wednesday last week we received documents from Labour Together following Subject Access Requests that we submitted to Labour Together in February 2026. The documents provided by Labour Together are deeply disturbing.

They show that Labour Together and APCO targeted us, our colleagues, our associates and Paul’s family with utterly false and highly defamatory allegations, and that this was done with the knowledge of the highest levels of the Labour Party. Indeed, we are now of the view that the operation to investigate us, our families and associates was effectively a joint operation run by the Labour Party, Labour Together and APCO.

This highly invasive campaign was launched because of Paul’s factually accurate reporting. This reporting raised serious questions about whether Labour Together and Morgan McSweeney deliberately failed to report £730,000 in donations to the Electoral Commission in violation of the law. It is now plain that Sir Keir Starmer benefited from the work funded by these donations and that they facilitated his rise to power.

We are calling for a full inquiry into Labour Together.

We also call on Sir Keir Starmer to clarify his role in this scandal. Considering the documents that have been disclosed to date, we find it nearly inconceivable that Sir Keir Starmer did not know about this despicable project that included Labour Together reporting us to the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), a part of GCHQ, based on utterly false and highly defamatory allegations. These highly defamatory allegations were then shared with at least one major newspaper outlet.

The newly released documents reveal six important facts.

First, they show that Morgan McSweeney and Paul Ovenden were aware of the APCO and Labour Together investigation into us from at least January 2024. McSweeney was the Labour Party’s head of campaigns and subsequently Sir Keir Starmer’s Chief of Staff in Number 10. Paul Ovenden was the Director of Labour Party communications and subsequently Head of Strategy in Number 10.

The emails show Simons arranging a meeting between himself, Ovenden, McSweeney and Tom Harper, a senior APCO employee, to discuss the investigation into us. A third Labour employee was copied into the email, but, because of redactions, we do not know who this is. We ask the Labour Party to confirm who else was copied into this correspondence.

The excellent @PeterKGeoghegan and Democracy for Sale have confirmed with a Labour Party source that the intended meeting did take place.

Second, they show that APCO’s Tom Harper actively coached Josh Simons and Labour Together on how to submit a ‘crime complaint’ about us to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a part of GCHQ. Harper provided text for Simons to submit to the NCSC. The decision to complain about us to the NCSC was made only days after Simons had emailed McSweeney, Ovenden and Harper about APCO’s upcoming report into us, asking for a meeting to discuss its contents.

Third, Josh Simons has repeatedly claimed in public that he appointed APCO to investigate a ‘hack’ of Labour Together materials. But the new documents show that Labour Together and Simons did not conduct any meaningful cybersecurity review to establish whether materials had been hacked from Labour Together, or where else they may have been sourced from.

Labour Together did, however, appoint a cybersecurity expert to review a potential hack in late 2025. This review, a summary of which has now been disclosed to us, shows that there was no ‘hack’ of Labour Together. This is obviously true, as we have repeatedly explained that the investigation into Labour Together was based on documents legally leaked from the Labour Party by whistleblowers concerned about misconduct by the Party’s most senior officials, open-source materials, and Freedom of Information requests.

Fourth, they show that Josh Simons and Labour Together told the NCSC that they were reporting us because they were concerned that Paul’s reporting ‘may be a co-ordinated effort to discredit Labour Together in order to undermine Mr McSweeney and by extension, Mr. Starmer in the run-up to next year’s general election.’ It is our view that this joint Labour Together, Labour Party and APCO operation was launched because Paul’s factually accurate reporting would have shed light on the highly problematic and unlawful aspects of Sir Keir Starmer’s rise to power.

Fifth, they show that APCO had sent a ‘case summary’ to Josh Simons of Labour Together on the 20th of November 2020, on the basis of which APCO were contracted by Labour Together two days later. The ‘case summary’, setting out a proposed scope of work, clearly identified us as journalists. From the very beginning, therefore, APCO and Labour Together knew that they were looking to investigate journalists – the very journalists who were reporting accurately on Labour Together, Morgan McSweeney and undeclared donations.

Sixth, they show that Simons wrote to an unknown person at the Labour Party in November 2023 asking for ‘intel’ on us. This shows that Simons’ immediate response to announcement of Paul’s book was to seek the assistance of the Labour Party. At the time, we were both Labour Party members. The reply to Simons’ request has been redacted in our documents. We call on the Labour Party to release all documents to us relevant to this scandal, and to confirm whether Josh Simons, Labour Together or APCO were provided with any of our private, personal information.

It's been said 57 people COULD be charged for Grenfell but it will take another year to decide and after that AT LEAST until 2029 before any trial could start, 12 years after the crime

We all know this will dragged out for decades to ensure nobody ever goes to prison.
