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...

Trump called it Project Freedom, but Iran has already made Hormuz look like the place his rescue mission goes to get mugged by reality. Right, so Donald Trump has now compared his own navy to pirates, launched a supposedly humanitarian ship-rescue mission into the most dangerous waterway on Earth, rejected Iran’s latest peace plan as again not good enough, is still maintaining a blockade on Irania...

Israel thought their flotilla grab was a done deal, but the trail now points back to which of their allies actually helped them do it. Right, so Israel has seized the Global Sumud Flotilla, taken 175 activists off 22 boats, moved most of them through Greece, but dragged two of them back to Israel, and now the bit Israel should really hate is not just the seizure at sea, but the bit that now points...

Ben-Gvir wanted the noose to frighten Palestinians; instead it has given campaigners a list of Israeli lawmakers to put in the sanctions frame. Right, so Israel’s horrific National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has I am sad to report, just turned 50, but as him reaching this milestone will hardly have you rushing to the card aisle of Tesco’s, it’s not necessarily been the best one for him and...

Trump wanted Iran boxed in, but his fleet move now looks like failed intimidation turning into exposed escalation. Right, so the tangerine toddler Donald Trump has sent the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group into the Iran crisis now with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard, so are we looking at that land invasion of Iran happening yet after all? The stalemate of his blockade of the Strait of Hormu...

Labour’s anti-racism talk looks very thin when black women councillors are pushed out and Starmer’s family ends up on the safe-seat slate. Right, so here we are with another set of local elections coming up and as sure as night follows day, we have a classic Starmerroid candidate rigging story, only this one is a biggie, which is probably why all the mainstream media are too busy slapping Zack Pol...

Mark Rowley tried to put Polanski in the dock over a retweet — and ended up putting the Met’s politics, tactics and neutrality on trial instead. Right, so Sir Mark Rowley has put himself in the dock by trying to put Zack Polanski there instead. The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has taken a retweet by the Green Party leader – nothing he’s actually said himself, just a retweet of someone e...

Zionism claims to protect Jews, but Golders Green shows how Jewish fear gets seized, spent and turned into danger for everyone else. Right, so two Jewish men have been stabbed in Golders Green, a Jewish area of north London, and before the blood had even dried politically, the backers of Zionism were already trying to capitalise on it. Police say the attack happened on Highfield Avenue at 11.16 ye...

Israel sent its navy 600 nautical miles after aid boats and somehow thought that would make the starvation blockade look less guilty. Right, so Israel has just turned a Gaza aid flotilla into evidence against itself once again. Israeli forces have intercepted, boarded and seized vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near Greece, way out in international waters, with the or...

Trump thought he had Iran cornered, but others are now showing who really has to be dealt with before the Strait of Hormuz moves. Right, so Trump and Israel wanted Iran cornered, and instead ships going through the Strait of Hormuz are now being told to deal with Iran before they move and that isn’t coming from Iran either, so that is the humiliation here. Iran has not had to give Donald Trump the...

Israel’s war has not just hit Iran; it has put a surcharge on the boards, chips and gadgets its own tech economy needs as well as everyone else. Right, so Iran hit Saudi Arabia’s Jubail petrochemical complex on 7 April, after Iran’s own petrochemical plants at Asaluyeh, tied to the South Pars gas field, had already been hit in strikes from Israel. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards described Jubail as re...

Labour thought East London was its property; but a sneer from Wes Streeting has triggerd an hilarious response message to voters. Right, so shiny faced recipient of private health donations, the health secretary Wes Streeting has picked a fight in Redbridge, his home patch, though hopefully not for a great deal longer if polling counts for anything and Labour is the one now taking the hit, because...

Netanyahu can still shout innocence, but the untouchable act now needs a pardon and now he's been told he's not getting it. Right, so as we know Benjamin Netanyahu had, at the urging of Doanld Trump and on top of Trump himself laying it on thick, asked Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog for a pardon while Netanyahu is very much still on trial over those corruption charges, and after a not insignific...

Westminster’s club culture just hit someone from normal working life, and she refused to pretend MPs drinking between votes was fine. Right, so Nigel Farage, amongst others has tried to make Hannah Spencer look ridiculous over Parliament’s drinking culture, and have managed to make themselves look like defenders of booze before votes because it seems seeing the word Green ahead of upcoming local e...

Trump’s lawyers did not expose him on purpose; they exposed him because defending the Iran war meant writing Israel’s request into their excuses. Right, so Donald Trump’s Iran story has cracked because his own State Department legal adviser has put the damaging bit in writing. Reed Rubinstein has issued the legal defence of Operation Epic Fury, the American war against Iran, and right there in the...

Labour thought Putin would save them from Zack Polanski; instead it made itself look more terrified of the Greens...and teenagers too apparently! Right, so Labour thought Putin would do the job for them. That is the blunt shape of this latest little stunt, because Labour’s official account has taken a comment by zack Polanski, stuck it on a poster with bombed out images of Mariupol in Ukraine behi...

Green suspensions have put Palestine politics under pressure inside the party - members stop anti-Zionism being turned into a disciplinary risk. Right, so another Green Party suspension has now put the party’s pro Palestine politics under even more pressure now, as it starts to look like a deliberate targeting of anti-Zionists is being borne out. Tony Greenstein, a Jewish anti-Zionist and long-sta...

Israel went looking for a Red Sea foothold in Somaliland and handed Somalia a sovereignty grievance, Yemen a target warning and Iran all new leverage. Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu’s Red Sea problem has just got nastier, because Israel has recognised Somaliland, breakaway state of Somalia that only Israel recognises and as a result of that Somalia has chosen now, with all the Strait of Hormuz acces...

Like a gold obsessed Zionist vampire, Trump has burned American military depth for Israel and the bill is now landing on the United States. Right, so Donald Trump has chewed through a huge chunk of America’s defensive missile stocks faster than a beaver on ket and all for what? For Israel of course, and now the first bodies are starting to hit the floor in Washington as a result of it. John Phelan...

While Westminster chases Mandelson for sport, Labour is sitting on a live criminal case over the internal route to choosing one of its own MPs. Right, so Keir Starmer’s having a bad one, but if you’re sick to back teeth of Mandelson dominating every single news cycle ad nauseum, then you’ll be pleased to know that so am I, but not only that, there is frankly a much more damaging story going incred...

Israel did not just get caught smashing Christ in Lebanon, it got caught smashing its own lie that it stands as a friend and protector of Christians. Right, so Lebanon and the Israeli atrocities being committed there have been somewhat encapsulated this week by images of an Israeli soldier, who has been photographed smashing up a statue of Jesus on the cross in the southern Lebanese village of Deb...

Hormuz has shown Trump that punishment is not the same thing as control - he has plenty of the first but a rapidly shrinking amount of the second. Right, so to say Donald Trump has been repeatedly and mercilessly punching himself between the legs with regards to Iran these last few days would be an understatement, I would imagine Little Donnie’s Little Donnie must resemble something akin to orange...

Israel’s own media man has said the quiet part out loud about Israeli news reporting: fake news works, truth doesn’t. Right, so Israeli propaganda, hasbara, the government financing of pro Israel talking points which for years has shielded the state from being held to account for its worst excesses, it’s taken a battering in recent years, rightly so, being exposed for what it is, no matter how muc...
