Urging the US and Israel to abide by international law is like being King Canute urging the tide to stop.

How Britain’s undercover police targeted the anti‑fascist movement | Searchlight As the Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI) moves through its later phases, a picture is emerging of the scale and intent of police infiltration of anti‑fasci ...

"Anti‑fascists were treated as a threat to be contained, not as groups responding to a genuine threat of far‑right violence."
What the recent Undercover Policing Inquiry hearings tell us - #spycops were effectively fascist enablers.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Recollections of life working on UK trade when ministers or whoever would say how wonderful it was that a member of the royal family was taking such an interest and officials having to deal with said individual worked hard to merely raise half an eyebrow

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - β€œoverthrowing May right now” and in β€œLondon with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

UCPI Daily Report, 5-10 Nov 2025: James Thomson evidence Long-read summary of spycop James Thomson's appearance at the Undercover Policing Inquiry - 3 days documenting abuse and lies, and no remorse

Just out - our long-read report on #spycops officer James Thomson at the Undercover Policing Inquiry. He not only deceived women into relationships, he deceived bosses too. His deviousness is matched by his cruelty & inability to feel remorse

Donald Trump, the president, had parties at 
Maralago called 'calendar girls' Jeffrey Epstein 
would bring the children in and trump would auction 
them off. He measured the children's vulva and 
vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children 
on tightness. The guests were elder men and 
included Elon Musk. Don jr. Trump. Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump were there. Attorney Allan 
Dershowitz was also there with Attorney Bob 
Shapiro. We were taken in rooms. forced to give oral 
sex to Donald J Trump. Forced to allow them to 
penetrate us. I was 13 years old when Donald J 
Trump raped me. Ghislaine Maxwell was also present

Trump, Trump's son and Elon Musk allegedly present at an event at Mar-a-Lago where children were auctioned off, and forced to have sex with Trump at the age of 13. Again, this appears to be an entirely separate account by a different accuser. They all seem very similar.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This week's column is about something that's arguably more important than anything in the news, crucial as some of the other issues are.

The Emperor of the US has just had it pointed out to him that he wears no clothes, so in reaction he puts 100% tarrifs on to all the clothes Canada exports to him. Such is the logic of "making America great again".

The government is living in an alternate reality. During WW2, Michael Foot and others wrote Guilty Men about the disastrous failure of the British elite’s appeasement policy: their inability to grasp the world they were living in. He’d have a field day with this lot.
