Right, so Donald Trump had his heart set on the Nobel Peace Prize for some time now. Won’t somebody please notice all the war’s he’s ending, or is he going to have to start another one so that he finally gets noticed? Desperately, desperately, like a baby with sticky fingers and no self-control staring at the last cookie on the plate. The tangerine-coloured Chief Baby has been gazing at Oslo’s exh...

Right, so the BBC, in a not at all surprisingly underreported story concerning itself, has entrusted the control of its entire news operation to Labour MP Helen Hayes's sister-in-law, the mainstream media and the establishment political class walking hand in hand together? Well, I never! But it’s a whole lot worse than that. The new appointee is Rachel Jupp and for those who don’t know, she happen...

Right, so in the early hours of this morning, Zack Polanski tripled the Green vote in Holborn and St Pancras, so of course the first logical thing to do is demand his head on a platter. In this country, there’s nothing like a kick in the teeth for daring to succeed when you happen to be on the left. But as the mainstream media is dutifully informing us all in what passes for their coverage of all...

Right, so Zionism Is Racism passed at Green Party conference, we know that much already by now I’m sure, just as much as we are aware of the media and political retaliation that has been utterly unhinged. Police complaints. Calls for arrests. Threats of an EHRC investigation. That much we’ve heard a lot of. You’d think a crime had committed wouldn’t you? Either legally or ethically, but is there a...

Right, so welcome to Mekelle, the capital of Tigray, the northernmost province of Ethiopia, and if you are at all familiar with the Tigray War of 2020-2022, you’ll know that the sight of Ethiopian government troops there once again now cannot possibly be a good thing. But just five days before the bullets began to fly once again between government and Tigray forces, the Trump administration decide...

Right, so Green Party members voted to call Zionism a racist ideology and, within seconds, and as all of us who backed it predicted, the nation's most delicate defenders of Israel were clutching their pearls with such ferocity you'd think they were auditioning for a Victorian fainting contest. We Greens have now been called Nazis, terrorist sympathisers, and antisemitic entryists-because, as we al...

Right, so the Israeli military has paused its regularly scheduled bombing program of Gaza to moonlight as a film studio, churning out a propaganda reel with Piers Morgan as their surprise villain, amongst others it has to be said. Eylon Levy, ex-Israeli government mouthpiece sacked for getting too big for his britches, but still laying it on thick anyway, decided to take to X and in a sign that he...

Right, so Camden Labour has built 650 council homes between 2010 and 2025. And in that same timeframe it demolished 500. Net result: 150 additional council homes in fifteen years of Labour rule there. Just ten a year then. Perhaps you think this is the norm for the overly built up London perhaps? Well for comparison, Southwark boasts over 3,000 council houses completed or under construction. In Ha...

Right, so Donald Trump, in his usual reality-optional style, claims Iran is breaking. The war between America and Iran is still ongoing, a war which Trump claims is about to reach its climax, and Washington has thrown Tehran's latest ceasefire proposal straight in the bin because they hold all the cards. Little Donnie’s business cards, not the ones that actually matter here, but again, reality opt...

Right, so finally the Greens have gone and done it. Sound the alarm, hide the children, and brace yourself for the tabloid conniption fits, because we all know they’re coming, but so bit it. Bring it on. Zionism is Racism has been passed at Green party Autumn Conference with a majority of 209 votes; 1,022 to 813. Ten votes spoilt. Three amendments that would have weakened the resolution or wrapped...

Right, so while Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to make settler violence disappear as fast as possible because the consequences of it are clear to see, an inconvenient truth for him as that is in the eyes of the world, and notably here as the latest attacks see a Palestinian family in Salfit burying Mashhour Shaher Yassin, who was 51 and whom Palestinian officials say settlers shot dead in Yasuf. And...

Right, so flying into Tel Aviv, a Flydubai plane went into an unscheduled dive over Saudi Arabia. This was because the co-pilot had decided to attack his captain while in the air. The plane reached Tabuk, the pilots looking like they had been through a tumble dryer; but somehow everyone walked away. That much at least is what we know with certainty. Nobody yet knows why the co-pilot decided to tak...

Right, so Saudi Arabia is reportedly bombing Yemen’s schools again in a headline reminiscent of the Minab School strike in Iran, though this time the media appear to have completely ignored it. Al-Rawdh School in Taiz has reportedly been hit for the third time. Then, the following day, another school, Al-Shaheed, was reportedly struck. But while While Saudi jets are again smashing Yemeni classroom...

Right, so the Greens for Palestine "Zionism Is Racism" motion has reached its climax as Green party Autumn Conference kicks off tomorrow and its opponents seem to have run out of arguments, though that never seems to ever stop them. Never letting reality get in the way of a good story, The Murdoch Times has very kindly invented a synagogue ban which they allege is part of the motion. That should i...

Right, so not content with plundering his weaselly black guts out for Venezuela’s oil, the greed-driven ghoul that is Donald Trump wanted Venezuela's gold in America too, as well as a lot more besides as it happens, rare earth minerals and the likes as well, he’ll try and get his tiny orange mitts on as much as he can. but it’s the gold that is key to this story and another hefty dose of karma to...

Right, so Thailand’s conflict with Israel-linked activity has escalated. Protests over Israeli tourists have been building for months, locals have become increasingly angry, and Phuket’s streets have echoed with calls for Israel to leave. But now the row has moved beyond the street and into building inspections, business investigations and land-ownership checks, because nothing quite sets the alar...

Right, so five British men were arrested near RAF Fairford after police spotted three suspicious vehicles and called in the bomb squad and after a round of questioning that probably felt like a particularly grim episode of The Weakest Link, all five were released on bail while the investigation dragged on. Donald Trump has taken one look at that it seems, helpfully given a cue to do so from our pa...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu strutted into the United Nations, a finger primed to wag at a room full of nations which had already done the diplomatic equivalent of changing the channel. He could hardly clear his throat before the delegates bolted for the exits as though there had been an announcement of a free bar and a fire drill in the lobby. Naturally, he called them cowards. Nothing screams mo...

Right, so Andy Burnham arrived at his first Labour Conference as Prime Minister, grinning like a toothpaste model getting their second advert. Unfortunately for Andy, Palestine protesters had pencilled in a different agenda-one that didn't involve applauding him in any way, shape or form and for whom the Burnham bounce and the honeymoon period, fizzled out a lot faster than for most. You see the i...

Right, so for months now, Trump has strutted about like a steroid-ridden satsuma and kept insisting that Iran is under pressure; it will break like an overripe melon. But now, in the face of a shift on the part of Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, a deal they have set on the table before Mr Dealmaker, Trump, for whom any pretence of power over Iran, the power of a US threat...

Right, so British universities have been insisting for almost three years now, that their Gaza protest crackdowns are all about safety, order and the sacred rulebook, because nothing quite says “academic freedom” like a security guard with a clipboard and a list of forbidden chants. Universities love to micromanage demonstrations: whether you report in advance, whether you are blocking a door and...

Right, so this was the view from a seat at the United Nations, from the position of Javier Milei, President of Argentina, who a day before had begun to wave flags, threaten legal action, and strut about the United Nations like a rooster on borrowed time. He had been making his moves for the past three days at the United Nations, and in his zeal to create an uproar he had managed to trip himself up...

Right, so an Israel lobby group has warned the Greens that it is ready to take legal action over their upcoming Conference motion declaring Zionism to be racist. Well, fortunately for we Green members, we get to make policy, and this particular motion, such has been the drive behind it, all in spite of such lobbyist whinging, has meant it has gone straight to the top of the E-motion queue, E-motio...

Right, so Andy Burnham's government has just dangled its new “Double Lock” on arms to Israel. It’s a solemn pledge to refuse new export licenses for any weapon which might actually assist the Israeli occupation, and it’s going to be added to the existing suspensions on the supply of arms to that country like an extra padlock on the very secure box such things are being locked in. Trouble is, it se...

Right, so as many of you will no doubt remember, on 1 April 2024, three British citizens were killed by Israeli forces when the convoy they were travelling in, working for the World Central Kitchen as they were, was attacked in Gaza. On that day, a British spy plane was operating over Gaza however, one of those surveillance flights where the footage gets shared with Israel, the claim being they we...
