As Reform's Makerfield candidate cracks up further, Labour and the Greens seem intent on self sabotage. Right, so Reform UK walked into Makerfield looking for blood, and the first body on the floor turned out to be their own candidate. Makerfield is a working-class seat just outside Wigan, in Greater Manchester, an old Labour heartland Reform has spent two years desperate to crack open to prove it...

A hidden section of an upcoming US war bill is about to hand Israel the keys to the US defence kingdom and nobody is talking about it Right, so the week most of the American public turned against arming Israel, Congress quietly handed Israel something it has wanted for years and could never get through the front door. Not more rifles. Not another shipment of bombs. A merger. There's a single page...

Trump thought he was sending Iran a message; The reply came back with a new return address courtesy of Kuwait. Right, so Iran has fired a missile at an American air base in Kuwait, and the worst part of that sentence, for Trump anyway, isn't the Iranian bit. It's the American bit. Because it's the United States military itself, through Central Command, the lot who run every American operation acro...

Hezbollah's unstoppable drones have found a new target amongst the IDF - and it's causing some proper panic. Right, so the officer Israel handed one of its proudest armoured brigades is lying in a hospital in Haifa with a serious head wound, and the thing that put him there cost less than a second-hand motorbike. His name is Colonel Meir Biderman. He is forty-one, he commands the 401st Armoured Br...

The sham that is Trump's Board of Peace has come to a head with the announcement it's broke - so where did all the billions paid go? Right, so Donald Trump's grand Gaza peace machine has just been caught with nothing in the till. The official fund set up to rebuild Gaza, the one administered by the World Bank, endorsed by the United Nations, the one he stood up in January with all the fanfare of a...

Sheer lunacy from Trump as his Iran deal continues to implode, now threatening to bomb the mediators on camera! Right, so Trump did not threaten Iran last week. He threatened Oman. That is the tell. Not the bluster, not the sanctions announcement, not the press conference posturing, but the specific, deranged choice of target. When the man who spent months selling himself as the dealmaker who was...

Israel’s secret mosque theft plot has leaked, and the one thing they forgot could wreck the whole plan before it even starts. Right, so this past Eid al-Fitr, Israel did something it hadn't done since 1967. It shut Palestinians out of the famous Al-Aqsa Mosque altogether. Barricaded gates, the Old City sealed, worshippers down on prayer mats in the open road outside the walls because they couldn't...

Trump's selling peace from one podium while Smotrich's promising to flatten Beirut from another. One Israeli strike ends the whole deal. Right, so Donald Trump is doing his strange little victory lap about an Iran peace deal that he says is largely negotiated, the Strait of Hormuz reopening on his terms, frozen funds about to move, the whole region apparently lining up to thank him for ending a wa...

He pressed record on his own evidence and pressed publish on his own travel ban. Ben-Gvir filmed the case against himself. Right, so Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli national security minister, the man with the prison system and the police on his desk, decided to film the detained flotilla activists his forces had grabbed from international waters. Civilians cable-tied. Made to kneel. Taunted in front...

Trump bombed Iran to force surrender, then discovered Iran still controlled the way out. Israel is reaping what it has sown. Right, so Donald Trump has bombed Iran again while his own side is telling everyone a deal could be just days away, because apparently nothing says peace like another set of explosions over the country you are supposedly negotiating with. Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of Sta...

Hezbollah’s night drones are now seeing Israel in the dark - and Netanyahu’s army is running out of places to hide. Right, so Hezbollah's latest drone problem for Israel isn't just that something is flying at them again. The problem is that something is now seeing them in a way their usual battlefield habits were never built to survive. Thermal-camera drones don't need a clean daylight image of a...

Trump wanted Iran’s surrender; instead he’s being handed the exit bill while Netanyahu screams about the terms. Right, so Donald Trump is now trying to sell a peace memorandum with Iran as if he has forced Tehran into a climb down, and the reported terms are already making his victory speech, his little lap of honour with a Big Mac waiting for him at the finish line look utterly ridiculous. He say...

Israel sold south Lebanon as a buffer zone; Hezbollah turned it into a drone range and left the IDF hiding under fishing nets. Right, so Hezbollah’s explosive drones are damaging seventy to eighty per cent of the Israeli army’s freedom of action inside their so-called security strip in south Lebanon. Seventy to eighty per cent of what Israel is trying to do by day in the very strip it occupied to...

Israel stopped the flotilla boats, but forgot the witnesses were coming home with eyes, bruises and voices as another ministers video drops. Right, so Israel seized the aid boats, dragged hundreds of people into custody, had its own ministers film the humiliation, and now the people who came out are alleging torture, beatings, sexual violence and abuse. People who were trying to get aid towards Ga...

If the Greens want Palestine credibility, they can stop apologising to the lobby and start defending the people who gave it to them. Right, so Greens for Palestine have just done the thing the Green Party machine should have done for itself. Anti-Zionist candidates are being thrown under the bus the moment hostile mainstream media pressure arrives. Palestinians inside the party are saying attempts...

More ICC arrest warrants are mooted for Israel's very worst, but instead of changing their ways, they're doubling down while claiming victim status. Right, so Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister who also holds power inside the defence ministry over the occupied West Bank, has reported that an international arrest-warrant request may have been filed against him, and his response to that...

Trump tried to choke Iran through Hormuz, and Iran looked under the water and found the Gulf’s internet bill. Right, so Iran has just found a new switch under the Strait of Hormuz, a secret weapon you could say and Donald Trump helped put it within reach. But it’s not a missile switch, not an oil tanker switch, not another warship photo-op for the world’s most overfunded floating panic attack AKA...

Israel got caught treating Iraq like a spare runway, and now even the cover story needs air support. Right, so Iraq has apparently not just found one secret Israeli operating site in its western desert, Iraqi officials and lawmakers are now saying there was another one as well, because apparently one clandestine Israeli base on somebody else’s land was not quite enough to satisfy the region’s most...

Israel chased aid boats near Cyprus, Britain had people caught in it, and Starmer somehow found more public urgency for golf. Right, so Israel has just dragged its Gaza siege hundreds of nautical miles out into the Mediterranean, boarded civilian aid boats near Cyprus, detained foreign nationals, and somehow Keir Starmer has still managed to make the British part of this story look even worse by f...

Trump won’t show you Iran’s offer, but he’ll happily let his list of bombing targets leak and call that diplomacy. Right, so Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian offer that the public has not been allowed to read, and now the war planning is leaking out around the edges. Not the full Iranian text, not the actual Tehran proposal sitting in front of everyone, not the document that would let ordinary...

A mushroom cloud appears over Israel’s missile system, and somehow Iran is still the one we’re meant to panic about. Right, so a huge mushroom cloud has gone up over Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, and the Israeli explanation is that everyone should calm down because this was a controlled test. Controlled. That is the word they have chosen for a night-time fireball big enough to send residents re...

Israel tried its usual pirate cosplay at sea, and somehow ended up with fifty-four more boats heading back to make the siege harder to hide. Right, so Israel thought it had frightened off the Gaza flotilla, and the Gaza flotilla has already come back at them with fifty-four more boats. Fifty-four. Not a statement, not a petition, not some symbolic little dinghy bobbing about for a photo opportunit...

Right, so China-linked ships are now moving through the Strait of Hormuz after dealing with Iran, and Donald Trump’s whole control act has taken another punch to the face. He went to China talking about reopening the world’s most important oil lane, talking as though Washington and Beijing were going to put Iran back in its box, and then the ships that actually moved did not move because Trump pul...

Wes Streeting tried to leave Health boasting about delivery; his final act shows exactly who he was delivering the NHS to. Right, so Wes Streeting has resigned as Health Secretary claiming he delivered for the NHS, and his final act in the job is now being described by campaigners as the moment patient records were pushed towards Palantir without any meaningful consent. That is quite the exit pack...

Netanyahu has opened his big fat mouth and left the UAE furiously denying an entire secret war relationship with Israel. Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu's own office has just put out a statement boasting that he made a secret wartime visit to the United Arab Emirates during Operation Roaring Lion, the Israeli war on Iran currently in stalemate over access to and from the Strait of Hormuz, and claims...
