8 April 2026 @ 7:28 pm
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez has derided ‘leaders’ who are feting Donald Trump over the two-week ‘ceasefire’ after weeks of Israel and US bases taking a pounding from Iran and torching the global economy.

By Skwawkbox‘Delete this immediately’ — Corbyn tells lame ‘Have I got news’ after smear
8 April 2026 @ 6:22 pm
Corbyn — Two and a half years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza have shown the thinking, honest world what Israel and its lobby are. Which is lying, racist and murderous. Not the BBC’s feeble ‘Have I got news for you’, though. No. Skwawkbox, the Canary and millions of others always knew that the ‘Labour antisemitism’ […]

By Alaa ShamaliCorporate media are STILL downplaying genocidal Israel’s atrocities
8 April 2026 @ 4:18 pm
The legacy media are fluffing their Israel reporting again. The Guardian reported on 8 March 2026 that “Israel hits Lebanon with massive wave of airstrikes amid ceasefire uncertainty”. This is, at best, a half truth. There’s uncertainty about the ‘when’ of the tentative ceasefire between Iran and the US, sure. Not least on the ground […]
