No To A US War On Venezuela!

October 25, 2025 Tim Young, Stop the War. , , , ,
For the past few weeks the Trump administration has intensified its long-standing aggression against Venezuela by deploying warships (including a nuclear submarine) in the Caribbean Sea in a purported anti-narcotics operation. US forces have carried out at least five incidents of strikes on boats in Venezuelan waters to date, killing 37 people. Trump’s latest move has been to authorise the CIA to conduct covert operations inside Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro, as Venezuela’s current leader, has been a focus of this ‘war on drugs’ narrative, justifying the US’s illegal actions by demonising him as a ‘narco-terrorist’ engaged in drug trafficking, despite UN evidence to the contrary. The US also portrays him as being an illegitimate leader, offering a bounty of $50 million for his capture.

Resident Doctors Say Enough Is Enough

October 25, 2025 Alex/Rose Cocker, The Canary. , , , ,
Resident doctors in England have announced that they’ll be walking out on strike next month. They’ll begin the industrial action at 7am on 14 November. The news comes after Labour’s complete failure to bring a credible offer to the table, regarding jobs and pay restoration. England’s BMA (British Medical Association) resident doctors’ committee (RDC) has urged Wes Streeting to do the right thing. They want the health secretary to return with a sensible offer. One that would allow them to call off the strike. So what has Streeting done in return? He’s accused the BMA of trying to “wreck” the NHS, and has called the strike a “slap in the face” for other hospital staff.

Inside The Fight For Radical Democracy In Britain’s New Left Party

October 25, 2025 Adam Ay, Waging Nonviolence. , , ,
How do you distill the hopes and dreams of nearly one million supporters, build a political party that accurately reflects them, and do so in a matter of months? With its founding conference imminent, and a surprisingly vast base of support eager to feed into it, this was the quandary that Your Party, Britain’s brand new left-wing party, found itself in this summer.  One person who had a solution was Roger Hallam. The totemic climate activist, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, believed the party needed to do something both mundane and radical. It had to put its faith in local assemblies — meetings where ordinary people come together to discuss issues and find solutions.

Craig Murray: 36-Minute Trials And No Jury

October 22, 2025 Craig Murray, Consortium News. , , , , ,
Those charged with terrorism for supporting Palestine Action will have no jury in trials limited to 36 minutes each, with prison sentences up to six months. These are the plans for Starmer Courts for mass trials of anti-Genocide protestors. The plans are devised by Justice Michael Snow. He is the epitome of judicial prejudice. When Julian Assange appeared before Snow in the first hearing after being dragged from the Embassy, Snow called Assange a “narcissist” even though Assange had said nothing but to confirm his name, and no evidence had been led.

UK Court Allows Palestine Action To Challenge Terror Designation

October 19, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The UK Home Office has lost its attempt to prevent a judicial review of its decision to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, following a Court of Appeal ruling issued on 17 October. The court dismissed the government’s appeal and confirmed that the case brought by Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori will proceed, adding two further grounds of challenge that had previously been denied. These grounds, according to the judgment, include allegations that the Home Secretary failed to consider relevant information, or relied on irrelevant material, and that she did not follow her own published policy outlining factors to be assessed before proscription.

UK Home Office Loses Bid To Block Palestine Action

October 18, 2025 Areeb Ullah, Middle East Eye. , , ,
The UK Home Office has lost its appeal to block Palestine Action from challenging its ban as a terror group. The Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed the government's attempt to stop the judicial review of its decision to ban the group. During the judgement, four judges, including the Lady Chief Justice, also granted Palestine Action's co-founder, Huda Ammori, two further grounds to challenge the ban, that were previously rejected. These grounds include that the Home Secretary, at the time, failed to consider relevant information or/and considered irrelevant information, and that she failed to follow her published policy "which prescribes that certain factors may be taken into account".

FIDH Report: The Repression Of The Solidarity Movement With Palestine

October 15, 2025 the International Federation for Human Rights. , , , , , , , ,
Behind the fight against hate, a trend of repressing dissenting voices is emerging. Titled Criminalisation and Narrative Control: Solidarity with Palestine in the Crosshairs, the report documents how across all the countries studied, the dynamics observed since 7 October 2023 have intensified pre-existing structural trends: the continued shrinking of civic space, the weakening of democratic safeguards, the normalisation of Islamophobia, and the institutionalisation of racial profiling. Under the guise of maintaining public order, fighting antisemitism, or protecting national security, authorities have resorted to exceptional measures such as bans on demonstrations, arbitrary arrests, repression within academic institutions, media censorship, and legislative threats.

Freedoms We Took For Granted In Britain

October 15, 2025 Jonathan Cook, Consortium News. , , , , ,
In interviews and a comment article over the weekend, the U.K. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson made clear she plans to exploit the pause in the Gaza genocide to snuff out criticism of Israel’s criminal actions — and, of course, her own government’s collusion in that criminality. Naturally, the British establishment media have been keen to amplify her message that there will be painful consequences both for individuals who continue protesting against Israeli atrocities and for institutions, such as universities, that mistakenly assume they have a duty to uphold centuries-old freedoms by tolerating such protests. These protests, let us remember, are fully in line with a ruling last year from the International Court of Justice, the world’s highest court.

How Britain’s Free Zones Are Dismantling Democratic Governance

October 14, 2025 David Powell, The Canary. , , , ,
When Rachel Reeves appeared at a Revolut corporate event to announce £110bn in fintech investment, few noticed the extraordinary symbolism. Here was the Chancellor of the Exchequer showcasing a company under active Financial Conduct Authority restrictions for failing to properly handle fraud—restrictions that prevent Revolut from operating as a fully trusted banking institution. Yet Treasury was presenting it as the crown jewel of UK financial services success. This wasn’t awkward optics. It was a signal: in the new economic model being constructed across Britain, institutional integrity is subordinate to investment announcements.

British Citizens Serving In The IDF Can Now Be Tried For War Crimes

October 12, 2025 Joe Glenton, The Canary. , , , , ,
The legal landscape around UK citizens serving in the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has shifted, lawyers say. Palestinian statehood means that Brits who served in Israel’s genocide can be tried and jailed. Technically, the Foreign Enlistment Act of 1870 means Brits who served in foreign armies can be jailed or fined. But the act is very old and poorly enforced. Heron said may not serve as a basis for prosecution. In April 2010, Public Law Interest Centre and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights submitted evidence to British police regarding ten individuals who’d served in the Israeli military: Our 240-page submission to the Metropolitan police highlights that the UK cannot turn a blind eye. The police have the power, the resources and the responsibility to investigate British nationals alleged to have taken part in war crimes, wherever they occur. How Many Serve? In March 2024, Declassified UK reported that 80 Brits were serving in the Israeli military on 7 October 2023. However, we only know this as Declassified submitted Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to the government.

Police Make Almost 500 Arrests At Palestine Action Protest In London

October 6, 2025 Robyn Vinter and Raphael Boyd, The Guardian. , , , , ,
Police have arrested almost 500 people in London at what organisers hoped would be the biggest demonstration so far against a ban on the proscribed organisation Palestine Action. Officers began arresting demonstrators at the silent vigil in support of the group, which has been classed by the UK government as a terror organisation since July this year. The first arrest took place shortly after 1pm as the seated protesters took out pens and wrote signs showing support for Palestine Action. Dozens of police were lined up to begin arresting members of the group, who were sitting silently on the pavement in the square. Early indications suggest the hundreds of protesters, with a mixture of ages and different backgrounds including many retirees, may not be enough to break the record for the number of arrests.

What Fresh Hell Is This?

September 29, 2025 Craig Murray, Consortium News. , , , ,
Friday saw two announcements: Keir Starmer is to introduce compulsory digital ID cards in the U.K., and Tony Blair was put forward by the White House to be the colonial administrator of Gaza for five years. The political economy of the world appears locked in a vertiginous downward spiral. You don’t have to scratch very hard to find that Tony Blair’s hand is also behind the compulsory ID plan. He has been pushing it for nearly thirty years, and now it comes with added links to Larry Ellison, Palantir and Israel. The government will be able to garner and centralise knowledge of everything about you.

Iran Recalls Envoys From Germany, France And United Kingdom

September 28, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Iran has recalled its ambassadors from Germany, France, and the UK for consultations, state media reported on 27 September, after the three European states triggered the UN mechanism to reinstate sanctions. The Foreign Ministry said the decision was taken in response to the “irresponsible action” of the European trio in reviving UN Security Council resolutions that had been repealed under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).  The sanctions, scheduled to take effect at midnight, will impose restrictions on Iran’s banking, shipping, arms purchases and nuclear cooperation. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told reporters that Washington and its allies were seeking to topple the Islamic Republic under the guise of the nuclear dispute.

UK Exposed For Breaching The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

September 27, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
A new legal opinion launched on the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons has found that the UK’s plans to expand its nuclear weapons programme by purchasing nuclear-capable F-35A fighter jets from the US is in breach of its disarmament commitments under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The purchase means that the UK, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, will have two delivery systems for nuclear weapons and a renewed nuclear mission for the Royal Air Force (RAF) since it retired its sovereign air-launched nuclear weapons. The UK will deploy the F-35s under NATO’s nuclear Dual Capable Aircraft mission. They will be able to deliver both conventional and the nuclear B61-12 guided nuclear bomb.

Recognition Of Palestine: What It Does, What It Doesn’t Do, And Why Now

September 23, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
The United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal, and Australia officially recognized the State of Palestine in a series of separate but coordinated statements on Sunday, September 21. Other European and Western nations, including France, Belgium, New Zealand, and several other key allies of Israel, are expected to join the chorus of recognitions at today’s UN General Assembly meeting in New York. The summit is based on a joint Saudi-French initiative to revive a two-state solution called “the New York Declaration,” which was first issued at a conference on September 12. The conference was boycotted by the U.S, which opposed the summit.
