If there's one person you want proclaiming your innocence when allegations of corruption come up, it's the guy in a "gifted" Qatari jet who's grifted $4.5 billion dollars, and became a laughing stock just last night after blatantly corrupting the FIFA disciplinary process then losing anyway ...

Interesting graph from Yougov this. Given the cohort which uses social media the least is *by far* more likely to have fallen into the Reform pipeline, it suggests that a (successful) social media ban for the young, far from discouraging radicalisation, would simply radicalise rightwards.

Incoming PM Andy Burnham is talking decentralisation, but what does that actually mean? Catch our wise words of wanalysis on that, small nuclear reactors, white boys' poor school grades, US zine jailing and debanking of Canary media on tonight's News Review, 7.30pm! www.youtube.com/@freedomnews...

Livestreaming at 7.30pm tonight: The Freedom Anarchist News Review! A long-awaited Bill is out aiming to ban conversion therapy, the right-wing press is having a meltdown over Ed Miliband, while the rest of us just melt ... sub and watch at www.youtube.com/@freedomnews...

It's easy to get bogged down in Restore being a racist project, but it's important to remember it's also a sexist one in which single mums are always spiteful liars and dads who don't see their kids are always blameless victims.

Looks like a 5-0 win for the Home Secretary on Palestine Action proscription in the Court of Appeals. PA are therefore still banned and arrests are commencing of placard holding supporters outside the Royal Courts of Justice. There will be an appeal to the Supreme Court but don't hold your breath.

Even for Facebook, the comments under a recent @manchestereveningnews.co.uk article about an attempt to burn the house of a local imam with his wife and children inside are shocking. This is what constant centrist appeasement of the far-right leads to. Not mollified reactionaries, emboldened ones.

TONIGHT the Freedom Anarchist News Review is at the later time of 8.30pm UK at the usual place. @punkacademic.bsky.social (he's on a new account) and Freedom alum @jacksaundrs.bsky.social (pictured) will be discussing racist pogroms in Belfast, the war on Iran, more Labour stuff, & the World Cup.

Full statement here: organiseanarchistsireland.com/organise-iwa...

No prizes for guessing tonight's lead topic: Farage coldly provoking a far-right rager. But we'll also be talking about a month of other hate-signalling measures from the Turqiose tossers, and having a natter about AI IPOs. Catch the Anarchist News Review at 7.30pm! www.youtube.com/@freedomnews...

Absolutely tortuous contortions in the Times today, complaining about a projected £100 bill rise for switching to solar by 2030, while admitting further down that the Iran war has bumped oil prices by £221 in a matter of months.

No Anarchist News Review this week unfortunately, so relax in a lounger, talk among yourselves and we'll be back next Thursday at the usual time x

The thing about Blair is his politics now (such as they are) aren't different, they're the same. It's a "steal the right's shoes, cosy up to real power" strategy which dgaf about the social direction of travel. He'd have been burning books in 1933 saying "this is how to win an election."

It ain't the Apocalypse, but the topics sound a bit that way ... Tonight the Anarchist News Review looks at food price controls, Oncoming water shortages, Labour's border bragging, Bridget Phillipson going after trans people and the Gaza flotilla. Catch us at 7.30pm: www.youtube.com/@freedomnews...

While we wait to see if Weasel Wes has the bottle to coup Keir, it's time to plug our News Review. Join us tonight at 7.30pm when we'll be talking about election fallout, Filton sentencing, Saturday rallies and more! (with apologies to Christopher Lambert) www.youtube.com/@freedomnews...

We'll be talking about local elections tonight on the Freedom Anarchist News Review, and you know we're non-partisan because our main manifesto point would involve getting rid of the lot of them ... www.youtube.com/@freedomnews...

How entirely predictable that Starmer would use Golders Green to try to ban Palestine solidarity rallies. There really is no depth of cynical, self-serving behaviour he won't sink to. And this from the party which demands people's votes to protect our civil liberties from the far right! ~Rr

It's a lovely day for the Anarchist News Review crew to sit in semi-darkness muttering what could, from a distance, look like analysis. So join us 7.30pm for a discussion on Starmer's pre-May 7th invulnerability, the ongoing trials of the FIlton detainees and more! www.youtube.com/@freedomnews...
