Right, so Israel has decided to lob a few bombs at a Syrian airbase, just a stone’s throw from the Turkish border. Turkey, ever the picture of calm, insists it had no troops there, wasn’t given a heads-up, and just watched Israeli jets cruise by like it was an airshow, while America’s envoy helpfully points out that Ankara could have, you know, started World War Three over this if it had felt like...

Right, so around 100,000 people are now calling for a media inquiry into what happened to Jason Arday. At the same time, Andy Burnham's Government is considering whether the solution to the internet being a dumping ground for fake news is to give the largest newspaper groups and television news channels special access to the top of your feed, because they are oh so trustworthy. Keir Starmer’s last...

Right, so Itamar Ben-Gvir appeared on former Israeli hostage Rom Braslavski's podcast to complain that Netanyahu had reduced strikes in Gaza under the ceasefire. He of course wanted the strikes ramped up again, to no surprise whatsoever, but while explaining his reasoning, he managed to undermine his own security justification in a single sentence, leaving Netanyahu holding the burnt remains of wh...

Right, so Saudi Arabia has spent years backing the government-aligned side in Yemen. Part of the promise was that its side could rebuild things, run things and offer people something other than permanent war, that of course the Saudi’s themselves in no small part have caused. Mocha port was supposed to be part of that. And then along came the Houthis. Saudi Arabia channels much of this rebuilding...

Right, so Israel's propaganda operation told everyone to check their facts about Gaza, and, unsurprisingly, checking those facts leads you right back to Israel's own state-funded propaganda. It’s like handing the burglar the keys to the evidence room, then acting surprised when the trail ends at his own front door. Bibi the Burglar apparently. Because when investigators actually did what Bibi sugg...

Right, so behold, Trump's Lebanon framework, presented in all its real-world mess. It’s turned out to be less art of the deal and more like finger painting whilst blindfolded. It's a US-brokered plan that ties Israeli withdrawal to Lebanese army deployment and some supposed 'verified disarmament,' but there's no deadline anywhere. Israel even gets a say in when it's time to leave, which is a bit l...

Right, so Israel decided it was time for another round of warfare inside Syria. Apparently, it is not a proper week unless something explodes across yet another border for them it seems. Nothing unusual here, though sadly is there? Israel bombing someone, be it Gaza or Lebanon or the West Bank has become so routine it barely gets a mention on the news, so maybe Syria will liven things up a bit. Ex...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has spent the last several months strutting around like a peacock with a megaphone, insisting Iran’s missile program was toast for years. Meanwhile, Pete Kegsbreath, who is never one to let a good exaggeration go to waste, said the US had definitely, most certainly and almost assuredly set Iran’s missile machinations back for decades. Decades! Which is a hell of a long...

Right, so Donald Trump's conflict with Iran was meant to show that America still dominates the region. He is of course also still deluding himself that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz. He says it's complete control. And yet as seemingly sure as night follows day, something else comes out to remind us as if we need it, that his grip on reality is a slippery one. American embassies are now gett...

Right, so Donald Trump's major campaign against the International Criminal Court has hit a rather big snag. The American people themselves. Well, some of them at least anyway. Four American organisations now say Trump's ICC sanctions have affected them as well. Not because Donald has personally marched into Human Rights Watch headquarters with his little book of sanctions, all written out in gold...

Right, so Israel has already faced criticism over Tommy Robinson, but it seems the fallout has not gone away and if anything, Israel’s problems off the back of this have only gotten bigger. In October 2025, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, AKA Robinson AKA Tommy Ten-Names travelled to Israel at the personal invitation of Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism. And...

Right, so there it is. Even Benjamin Netanyahu now admits Israel is losing ground with Americans. He just has a rather convenient explanation for why . It’s social media. It’s propaganda. It’s what young Americans are being shown. It’s Israel supposedly losing the information war. What it apparently isn’t is anything Benjamin Netanyahu or his government might actually have done. Funny that. And wh...

Right, so nearly three-quarters of England is now officially in drought, it is definitely boiling down here in Cornwall plus 30 degrees is not much fun when you’ve got no air con and the fan is merely fanning the flames of the furnace you’re trapped in. Forty-five million people are now part of the great English drought drama, with over 27 million of us cast as 'thirsty extras' under some water re...

Right, so it seems America has now come up with a fresh answer to the Strait of Hormuz. Greenland. Yes, Greenland again. Trump’s other fever dream obsession. Why try to untangle a massive Middle Eastern situation you in no small part helped create when you can just point to another spot on the globe and declare there’s plenty of oil there instead? Trump’s representative in Greenland, Louisiana gov...

Right, so that was Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan there, saying Iranians are no strangers to the region’s politics. Iran’s involvement is needed now. This is not exactly the outcome Benjamin Netanyahu had in mind for the Middle East is it? That’s a rotten turn of events, please do get your tiny violins out to play him a jaunty tune. Perhaps someone might want to hand Bibi a stress ball befo...

Right, so it seems the Strait of Hormuz might not matter anymore. Well there’s a twist after 5 months of war basically closed the bloody thing to most shipping, closed one of the most important energy transport routes in the world for the likes of oil and gas; presumably the orange wombat in the White House just blockaded it for s**ts and giggles then? Who knew? Yet after months of war, blockades,...

Right, so now it seems Donald Trump is in charge of the Strait of Hormuz. Good to know. Maybe someone should mention that to the people actually trying to get ships through in which case. Some unlucky corporate executive just paid twenty-three to twenty-five million dollars to rent a supertanker for a quick trip into the Gulf to pick up Iraqi crude. Bargain of the century, if your idea of a good t...

Right, so Saudi Arabia now seems to be preparing for more Houthi attacks, chiefly they’re worried about their energy infrastructure, ports and airports. All the parts you only start to notice when someone begins connecting the dots with cruise missiles. And this comes just as Saudi-backed forces in Yemen have suffered heavy losses, at least 30 killed and more than 50 wounded. But strangely enough,...

Right, so there’s Netanyahu, actually standing inside Lebanon, telling Israeli soldiers that as long as Hezbollah is a threat, Israel will stay right there. “We will stay here.” Well, that boast has soured faster than milk left out in a Tel Aviv August. Now, two Israeli reservists are dead, and four more have been seriously wounded inside the very part of Lebanon that Netanyahu and his government...

Right, so Donald Trump is out there claiming America has enough ammunition to make Rambo blush. Not just a lot, either. More than the US could ever actually use, unless the idea is to shoot at the moon for target practice and frankly Elon Musk hitting it with his leftovers last night was bad enough, so we don’t need that. It’s a bold claim actually, given that in Operation Desert Storm the US fire...

Right, so Bristol University has spent the past few years insisting that firing David Miller over his anti-Zionism beliefs was entirely justified. And it lost. Spectacularly. The original case collapsed faster than a university press release after a scandal. So Bristol appealed, hoping that if it dragged the stink they were creating into a higher court, things would turn out differently. Well, tou...

Right, so NewsNation asked Republican Congressman and Zionism’s biggest fan Randy Fine how much longer Americans were expected to carry the cost of Donald Trump's Iran war. A war we all know is being waged in the interests of Israel of course. A fair question, really. Petrol costs more, transport costs more, anything that even moves across state lines costs more, and in the end the whole country g...

Right, so Donald Trump is out here insisting Israel is absolutely thrilled with his latest Gaza masterstroke. The pitch, at least in theory, was a classic Trump-style swap: Hamas gives up its weapons under the watchful eyes of international clipboard-carriers, a group of technocrats is dropped in to run Gaza, and Israeli troops quietly withdraw, sector by sector, as long as everyone follows the ru...

Right, so Donald Trump claims America is prepared to strike Iran again whenever he feels like it. Anytime he wants. Because Trump approaches regional security like a man shaking a petrol can beside an open flame. But there's just one small snag in this latest display of dementia-addled orange bravado. The American families who were forced out after Iranian missiles and drones struck Bahrain last t...

Right, so what has happened in the last few days in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta has been well covered in the media, but not necessarily in full, and certainly not the latest events, as the story actually continues to unfold and not to the benefit of those who thought this was something smart and clever either. This was not some sudden invasion that came out of nowhere. This was orchestrated, not...
