Right, so that is not a resistance spokesman. That is not an Iranian negotiator. That’s a big orange wombat – waste of money, breath and time. However, if you can claw through some the digression there, an actual salient point was being made, in that Trump has looked at Israel’s ongoing military aggression in Lebanon, all in defiance of his Iran deal of course and said in effect: you keep flatteni...

Right, so Keir Starmer has finally got the message then. Good. Only about six years too late. And I know you are not supposed to say that too loudly on the day they finally show some emotion and choke at the lectern. Well, I’m not the mainstream media, I’m not going to go about eulogising this guy. Even his resignation speech wasn’t that original, it was like Theresa May’s all over again in some p...

Right, so get a load of this guy. If you aren’t aware of who this little sausage is, this is a chap by the name of Danny Danon, he pops up on TV interviews from time to time as a sometime go to motormouth of the Israeli regime – an excuse maker who is more than happy to raise his voice and shout down other people as so many Zionists seem to treat as their standard media tactic when someone dares b...

Right, so Netanyahu’s Lebanon front has just done the one thing it absolutely was not supposed to do. It left some proof. Actual footage. Actual losses. Actual pressure. All being applied to Israel and not the other way around, The sort of thing that stops being a line in an IDF military update about being all moral and specific when they’ve just levelled an entire block – the sort of thing that e...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has apparently won again. Amazing, isn’t it? Every few days, Israel wins so hard that another town in Lebanon starts smoking, another ceasefire needs hosing down, another American official has to pretend this is all part of the plan, and another poll appears showing that even Israelis are looking at Netanyahu’s victory parade and asking why the wheels have come off his...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu thought he had found himself a loophole. A nice little Lebanon-shaped loophole. Trump’s deal, his Memorandum of Understanding with the Iranians could say what it liked. Trump could puff himself up at the podium like big orange balloon until he exploded. The diplomats could put on their grave and serious faces, shuffle some paperwork around like a BBC newsreader feignin...

Right, so Andy Burnham has won a landslide in Makerfield, completely contrary to a typical Starmer Labour by election result because usually Starmer has all the appeal to voters of a wasp at a picnic on a summers day, so the fact Burnham has a majority now north of 9,000 votes still comes with a big caveat attached to it: Makerfield did not fall in love with Andy Burnham. Makerfield rejected Keir...

Right, so the Iran deal has landed as it is being broadcast, such as it is, a Memorandum of Understanding is just a diplomatic nod with nothing yet formally agreed to at all, but for all the pomp and ceremony going on ad nauseum, all gleefully and unquestioningly broadcast by the mainstream media, for once the story is not that Donald Trump has wandered up to a microphone, powdered himself in bron...

Right, so Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s far-right minister for making every situation somehow more grotesque than it already was, had a big brave message for the United States. Israel is not subject to America, apparently. Trump’s deal does not bind us, apparently. Israel is sovereign, independent, answerable to nobody, all very stirring stuff if you like your diplomacy delivered in the tone of a man...

Right, so that did not take long, did it? Starmer’s government gets the Palestine Action ban kept in place, the Home Office gets the legal result it wanted, and almost immediately one of its own ministers decides the best use of anti-terror law is apparently to turn Twitter into a Home Office loyalty checkpoint. This is more than a normal “minister said something stupid on X” story. The story is t...

Right, so every launch, every flash, every flaming rocket put out in news clips or by the Pentagon or US Central Command is very deliberately put out there into the public sphere. It looks impressive, it promotes a sense of power, it lets you know who’s in charge when the good ol’ US of A is the one doing the shooting, all very flashy. Very presidential. Very “don’t mess with America.” For as much...

Right, so Israeli arms firms have turned up in France to flog their genocidal wares and had a bit of a rude shock when they got there. The supposedly respectable end of their warmongering hit one of those arms’ fair events, Eurosatory 2026 as is the case here, what they bring to present as defence solutions of course being the very same things they’ve been using to vaporise neighbourhoods from Gaz...

Right, so Donald Trump has got himself an Iran deal. A peace deal. A beautiful deal. A long and beautiful peace, he says, because of course he does, because if there is one thing the tangerine tyrant loves more than threatening to blow something up is announcing that he invented peace some 5 minutes later. Lebanon can’t have got the memo they were included in this memorandum of understanding Trump...

Right, so property for sale in illegally occupied Palestinian territory, but this isn’t the West Bank, this isn’t a settler with a map declaring this property is his because God promised it to him 3,000 years, because apparently God does conveyancing now ago. This was London. This is the Great Israeli Real Estate Event, taking place inside Edgware Road synagogue. Protesters outside saying Palestin...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu’s Lebanon invasion story has come a cropper once again, as the IDF’s drone problems there just ratcheted up another notch. A Hezbollah drone has now struck an Israeli base, another of their cheap little off the shelf FPV’s has just taken down for the very first time an Israeli Heron 1 surveillance drone worth in the region of $10M and in fact so numerous have these suc...

Right, so Britain has just jailed Palestine Action activists after Judge Jeremy Johnson slapped on terror sentencing to essentially double the jail time, all seen as the British state doing Israel favours since the target of these young people was a weapons factory because said weapons are genociding people across Gaza, invading Southern Lebanon and Syria and more besides. God forbid somebody stop...

Right, so Israel has managed to create another big fat problem for itself in Lebanon you will be broken hearted I’m sure to hear. Not because they’ve stopped bombing, because of course they haven’t, ceasefires are for mere mortals and not for them. Not because the displacement is subtle either, people are being driven from their homes and entire villages detonated because all of it is Hezbollah, i...

Right, so these four young people were not convicted of terrorism. But that is the bit the state would quite like you to overlook, along with pliant state media. Just hop past it. Don’t linger. Don’t ask awkward little questions like, “Hang on, if they were not convicted of terrorism, why the hell are they being sentenced as such then?” Because when you ask yourself that, you realise just how much...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has apparently built himself another master plan. A clever plan. A hard plan. A very serious security plan, obviously. The sort of plan that gets sold to the Israeli public as, deterrence, freedom of action, deepening the grip, securing the north, all the usual blood-soaked management-consultant language they wheel out whenever they have decided that somebody else’s co...

Right, so the Cheeto-dusted Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump has declared there is a deal with Iran. A peace deal. A great deal. The best deal there ever was, obviously. All while, supposedly, he was about to attack Kharg Island, because nothing says calm diplomatic breakthrough quite like threatening to seize the other country’s oil hub before teatime. Pistol Pete Hegseth must be sobbing in a corn...

Right, so the bloviating orange oaf Donald Trump’s sales pitch in recent days was that Iran was going to pay, but the trouble with warfare is that they guy who signs off on it, doesn’t necessarily get to choose where everything ends up landing and this one did not stay where Little Donnie wanted it. It has now moved from Washington’s war room to a tanker off Oman, It has moved onto Indian sailors,...

Right, so this is Belfast, this is where the far right is attacking homes, looking for black and brown people, homes getting torched, cars getting burned out, families looking at the remains of homes they had nothing to do with losing. A pogrom triggered off the back of a serious attack, a knife attack, with the suspect having been charged and remanded in custody, all now being weaponised by this...

Right, so Israel built itself a buffer zone in Lebanon to tell the north that the danger had been pushed away, and then the Israeli army had to announce that one armed man crossed from Lebanon near Ramim Ridge and breached the border. That's the event with the military varnish scraped off. One man. Israel called him a terrorist, public reporting says it was unclear whether he was even affiliated w...

Right, so the tangerine toddler Donald Trump has managed the rather impressive feat of taking a helicopter incident near the Strait of Hormuz, using it as his excuse to hit Iran again, so much for claiming he wanted out of this mess, and then watching US-linked bases across Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan come under fire. Trump wanted a strong response, Trump ordered strikes on Iran, and Iran answered...

Right, so Israel hit Beirut, Iran answered having warned them against doing just that, and now the Houthis are back on the scene. The Yemeni Armed Forces have claimed missile strikes toward Jaffa and then declared Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea banned, with Israeli-linked movement treated as a military target. So not only is the Strait of Hormuz now shut, so is the Bab el Mandeb Strait...
