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...

Bahrain called it security, but the arrests, the torture case and the cancelled citizenships show a throne terrified of its own majority. Right, so a thirty-two-year-old man went out for a meal before dawn during Ramadan, with his cousin and a mate, and nine days later his parents got a phone call from a military hospital telling them to come in. They weren't told why. They turned up and found the...

Burnham hasn’t been handed a comeback - he’s been handed Makerfield, and Makerfield looks less like a doorway than a trapdoor. Right, so Josh Simons, the Labour MP for Makerfield, has just announced that he is standing down. He is resigning the seat. He is triggering a by-election. And the stated reason, the reason being briefed out, the reason being written up across the political press, is that...

Abu Dhabi wanted victim status and war privileges at the same time - then the receipts started falling out. Right, so the US ambassador to Israel has just said the quiet part out loud, and Abu Dhabi’s entire victim routine over the war on Iran has gone straight through the shredder. Well, its not the first time his Zionist praises have dropped him in the proverbial, but it has exposed an uncomfort...

The jury convicted criminal damage, but the Judge has terrorism sentencing as an option still. A media gag order blocked reporting on this - until now. Right, so on the 12th of May, the reporting restrictions came off the Filton case, and what was sitting underneath them has finally been allowed into public view. Mr Justice Johnson - sitting in the Crown Court - made a ruling back in March 2025, b...

Trump took Iran's war-ending offer to Netanyahu, then called it TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE when he got told no! Who's in charge here? Right, so Iran sent a written response to Donald Trump through Pakistani mediators, putting on paper what it would take to end the war and stop the blockade and stand down the Hormuz crisis. Trump read it and called it TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. But he had picked up the phone...

Israel sold the Iron Dome as the impenetrable shield - Well Hezbollah now has 'impentrable needing...fishing nets? Right, so on Friday, May the eighth, Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone closing in on an Iron Dome battery on Israel’s northern border, with Israeli soldiers standing nearby. Israeli reporting says Hezbollah’s FPV threat includes fibre-optic drones, the kind that trail a...

The Telegraph isn’t so much exposing pro-Palestine voices - it’s trying to make them unfit for public life. Right, so the Telegraph called it a conspiracy. They put it in the headline in those exact terms. Misan Harriman, the photographer, creative director, Southbank Centre chair, and the first Black person to shoot the September cover of British Vogue, had posted online about the knife attack in...

Israel's own central bank just confirmed the damage. 750,000 not at work, refineries hit, businesses bleeding, deficit climbing. All on Netanyahu's war. Right, so let me start with a number, because the number is the story. Seven hundred and fifty thousand Israelis are not at work. That is the figure for March 2026, that is what is being reported, and that is what the broad unemployment rate insid...

Starmer's cabinet won't move. A backbencher just set a Monday deadline. The wipeout is only the start. Right, so Catherine West, the Labour MP for Hornsey and Friern Barnet in north London, has given Keir Starmer's own cabinet until Monday to find someone willing to challenge him for the leadership of the Labour Party. If no cabinet minister is willing to put their name forward, she has said publi...

Netanyahu's career, coalition, and freedom all depend on the policies destroying Israel's image. So now he's blowing the budget to save himself. Right, so Israel has just authorised the largest propaganda budget in its history. NIS 2.35 billion shekels. About $730 million in real money. That figure was signed off between Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for the 2...

Towns to Reform. Cities to the Greens. Wales to Plaid. Scotland to the SNP. Starmer says he's staying. Drop a comment. Right, so Keir Starmer has just lost roughly 1,400 councillors, 37 councils, control of Wales, any pretence of recovery in Scotland, and 33 of his own backbenchers at current count, and yet he is still standing at the lectern telling the country he is not going anywhere. [CLIP] Th...

America said it's Hormuz blockade held, Iran sailed tankers through it on live tracking, leaving Trump the only one still lying. Right, so the United States fired on an Iranian-flagged tanker called the HASNA in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM, that's the US military's Central Command - the bit of the Pentagon that runs the Middle East - issued a press release saying an F/A-18 launched from the aircraft...

Starmer says conflating Jews with Israel is antisemitic - then uses that same conflation to smear Palestine protest. Right, so Keir Starmer’s pro Palestine protest smear has one fatal flaw, and it is not exactly tucked away in the small print of his nonsense either. Keir Starmer, the Labour Prime Minister, says Jewish people must not be conflated with Israel, which is correct. British Jews are not...

Starmer needed those Filton convictions to bury Palestine Action as a terror problem; instead the retrial has put state machinations in the dock. Right, so Keir Starmer’s Filton retrial has not given him the clean Palestine Action crushing he needed. It has given him four criminal damage convictions, two acquittals, a rejected GBH with intent charge, a defence barrister now facing contempt proceed...

Israel’s phone-spying scandal is no longer foreign policy - it’s a test of whether your government protects you, or protects Israel. Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has a new scandal round his neck, and this one reaches into the phone network people carry in their pockets and not just in Israel or just the Middle East either. A major digital research group has exposed two covert telecom surveillance...

Trump’s Board of Peace was supposed to control Gaza’s ceasefire; Israel shifted the borders in another land grab, and left Trump holding the baby. Right, so Donald Trump’s Board of Peace had one job in Gaza, and Israel has just made that job look even more of a sick joke than it already was. The job was to make the Gaza ceasefire look like it meant something, allegedly to stop the fighting, to get...
