if you struggle with secondhand embarrassment, you may find this video of Reform’s Laila Cunningham hard to watch

Laila Cunningham is Reform’s candidate for the mayor of London. She’s also one of the worst public performers in the whole of British politics. This was especially clear in the following encounter she had with Lowkey on Piers Morgan Uncensored:

“He met him for a business deal…”

‘And!? And!?’ — even her answers need ‘reform’

As the video begins, Cunningham is saying:

I’m not gonna sit here and argue with this guy who has no idea what he’s talking about.

She’s talking about Lowkey here; the problem is she agreed to go on Piers Morgan Uncensored. You can’t really go on a debate show then get upset when you’re expected to debate the other panelists.

She was clearly very agitated too, as she continued:

I’m Muslim, I know millions of Muslims like me, and we do not like radical Muslims coming in here and giving us the facts.

We’ve worked with Lowkey over the years, and we’ve never had any reason to think he’s the sort of “radical Muslim” Cunningham is talking about (i.e. a terrorist). He’s certainly radical in his progressive politics, but in this exchange he was calm and collected.

This is what Lowkey said before Cunningham fled the debate:

The treasurer of your party is in the Epstein files. The treasurer of your party, Nick Candy, is in the Epstein files.

As Lowkey was saying this, Cunningham started saying “I’ve gotta go”. Perhaps she did have another appointment, but obviously no one is going to believe that; it just looks like she panicked and needed to bail.

Lowkey added:

Did he know Ghislaine Maxwell? What’s your response?

Cunningham’s response ended up being:

And!?

And!?

Has he done any wrongdoing!?

And!?

And!?

This looks bad written down, but we can assure you it looked worse in motion.

Approaching an actual answer, Cunningham said:

He met him for a business deal.

This isn’t a great response, obviously, because most normal people don’t do business deals with international billionaire paedophiles. Accordingly, Lowkey responded simply:

Right.

Clearly worried she’d put her other foot in her mouth, Cunningham complained:

We’re not talking about Nick Candy; We’re talking about immigration. How is that related?

Lowkey explained:

He’s the treasurer of your party.

It’s a fair point.

If a political party can’t speak on its connections to the Epstein sphere, how can we trust them on anything? And there are other connections too.

As we reported, Steve Bannon was essentially best friends with Epstein towards the end. In recent years, Bannon sought to create a network of similarly-minded far-right agitators across Europe. His man in Britain was none other than Nigel Farage.

Epstein knew about Bannon’s actions, by the way, and he celebrated them.

Back to the interview, master debater Cunningham said:

You cannot argue your argument, so you’re picking on random stuff that has no relevance.

Demonstrating how one argues their argument, Cunningham said next:

I gotta go. Bye, Piers.

Here’s a tip for you, Laila — don’t book yourself into debates you can’t finish, because it will always look like you’re running scared — especially when you have such lacklustre debating skills.

Oh, and shoutout to Lowkey for this other great point:

She’s clearly realised that “I can’t answer” is not an acceptable response when you’re a politician. The problem is that she still has nothing to say, which is why she resorted to:

And!?

And!?

Embarrassing stuff!

Last year, the Royal Family infamously stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his titles. They did this because fresh revelations kept emerging about the pervert prince.

Given that he no longer has his titles, you’d assume this meant he couldn’t become king. Sadly, you’d assume wrong.

But it does look like that could change:

Have asked ministers for months on my Sunday show as to whether the govt would remove Andrew from the line of succession. Was dismissed each time as unnecessary: “he’ll never be King.”

Things have changed. pic.twitter.com/J7cTPunC4c

Pervert in waiting

Showing that Labour is at least taking it seriously, they sent defence minister Luke Pollard out to discuss the matter. While ‘defence’ usually means ‘war’, in this instance the minister was discussing a ‘defence’ of a sort (namely defending us from having an alleged nonce as king).

Saying that, Andrew is far from the first of our betters to have immersed themselves in total depravity:

Every time I see this guy’s full name I always think of his grand-uncle, Lord Mountbatten, who was also a notorious pedophile. It might be time to pack in this demonic royal family and monarchy in general. https://t.co/zEOZX340Lq

Pollard told Radio 4 that the government is working with Buckingham Palace to cut Andrew out of the line of succession. He added that he hopes any legislation:

will enjoy cross party support, but its right that that is something that only happens when the police investigation concludes

Does it need to wait for that?

We’ve all seen the pictures.

We’ve all seen the emails.

Let’s cut this cancerous fuck out like the tumour he is.

And better than that, let’s do the same for all the Royals. After all, the late Queen and current King both chipped in to pay off Andrew’s accuser:

My late mother loaned me £600 years back to pay off my student loan…

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s late mother splashed out £12 million sterling to get her son off on a child trafficking and rape of a minor charge

On what planet would anyone have sympathy for the Queen? https://t.co/qBKMkqgBot

As of right now, if King Charles was to die of sausage fingers and Prince William was to experience some sort of pegging misadventure, Andrew would be King.

Because — let’s face it — the freaks of Great Britain would rather see a suspected nonce become King than Meghan Markle’s husband.

Andrew — Britain’s shame

Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in 2025. Like so many of the women who were caught up in this sad affair, she died without seeing justice.

At the very least, we need to make it completely impossible this sweaty stain of a man to become King.

A recent international report has revealed that dozens of Palestinian journalists have been subjected to serious violations in Israeli prisons since 7 October 2023. Its authors describe a recurring pattern of mistreatment linked directly to their media work.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), approximately 60 Palestinian journalists were detained during the period under investigation. In-depth interviews were conducted with 59 of them. Fifty-eight reported being subjected to what they described as torture or cruel treatment during detention.

Cross-corroborating testimonies and similar patterns

The report states that testimonies from different detention facilities revealed similar patterns of abuse. These included beatings, forced stress positions, sensory deprivation, medical neglect, and allegations of sexual violence.

Journalist Sami al-Saai, who worked for Al Jazeera Mubasher and Al-Fajr TV, said he was transferred to a small cell in Megiddo prison and assaulted inside it. He said he later shared his experience with veteran detainees.

Journalist Shadi Abu Seido of Palestine Today reported being arrested at Al-Shifa Hospital on 18 March 2024. He was transferred to Sdeh Tayman detention centre, where he said soldiers beat him while passing him between rows. Shadi later discovered he had a broken rib. He was released after 20 months.

At Ofer Prison, radio journalist Muhammad al-Atrash described a mass assault in November 2023 involving dozens of detainees. He said they sarcastically named the incident after National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s visit. According to al-Atrash, trained dogs and metal instruments were used, causing injuries and bleeding.

Journalist Osama al-Sayed, a correspondent for Al-Aqsa TV, said he was subjected to electric shocks and pepper spray between beatings following an official prison visit.

Eleven journalists reported being subjected to a technique known as “strappado” or “ghost suspension,” in which a detainee is suspended by arms tied behind the back.

Palestinian journalists — severe weight loss and detention without charge

Fifty-five journalists reported suffering from severe hunger or malnutrition. Photos reviewed by the newspaper showed visible physical deterioration. CPJ estimated the average weight loss at 23.5 kilograms per journalist.

Journalist Muhammad Badr said he was severely beaten, injuring his tongue and preventing him from speaking or eating properly for two weeks. He said he lost 40 kilograms during ten months in detention.

Ahmed Shqoura, also of Palestine Today, said he lost 54 kilograms during 14 months in Ktziot and Jalameh prisons. Journalist Rami Abu Zbeida reported losing 35 kilograms during a year in detention.

The report states that 48 of the 59 journalists were not charged with any offence. They were held under administrative detention, which allows renewable detention periods without trial.

Official responses

The Israeli Prison Service rejected the allegations, stating that any official complaint is examined through approved channels. The Israeli army also denied systematic abuse, saying investigations are opened when violations are suspected.

The report also cited data from Physicians for Human Rights–Israel documenting 94 Palestinian deaths in detention since 7 October 2023. CPJ estimates that 252 journalists have been killed since the start of the war on Gaza.

What you need to know before travelling abroad for surgery

How to find an accredited hospital abroad

What to check before booking surgery

China’s military and intelligence agencies are moving to cut off the influence and reach of Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad, which they describe as a “Pandora’s box” of danger to global security, according to new reporting in the Cradle.

China has recognised that the US and Israel have established a pattern of internal, covert campaigns of sabotage or ‘decapitation’ attacks on their targets before launching all-out military action: think pager attacks in Lebanon, the funding, equipping and assisting of ISIS in Syria.

And, of course, the recent ‘protests’ in Iran that were exposed as provoked, coordinated and directed by Israeli operatives and their Iranian agents. So the Chinese are moving to inhibit these tactics in Iran. At the same time, it is conducting joint military exercises in the Strait of Hormuz with Iran and Russia even as the US builds up forces in the same area.

The internal, land-based target of the Chinese operation is, as the Cradle states:

Mossad’s ability to embed agents, compromise sensitive databases, disable radar networks, and facilitate precision strikes from inside Iranian territory is interpreted as a shift toward what Chinese analysts call ‘Informationized and Intelligent’ Warfare.

This represents the convergence of cyber sabotage, internal recruitment, technological penetration, and operational coordination – a hybrid model in which intelligence operations hollow out defensive infrastructure before kinetic action begins…

…[which] Military expert Fu Qianshao, a former analyst in the Chinese Air Force, characterized [as] Mossad’s success in planting agents and disabling Iranian radar and air defense systems from within [and] as a “new pattern of intelligence warfare.”

Chinese military analysts recognised that Mossad’s June 2025 sabotage campaign exposed “structural vulnerabilities” in Iranian security systems — and that the tactics used against Iran could be used elsewhere, including against China and its interests. So it has decided to help Iran close Iran’s technical vulnerabilities, both to help an ally and as an exercise for itself. It is also looking to bring Iran into the ‘Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO)’, which shares intelligence and promotes cooperation among its member states.

China’s technical support

The effectiveness of the technical support was seen clearly in Iran’s success, with Chinese assistance and tech, in blocking access to Starlink. Israel and the US were using the Musk-owned system to communicate with their agitators on the ground. Until suddenly they weren’t, leaving the covert force rudderless. Again with Chinese (and Russian) help, Iran then identified and rolled up Israel’s Iranian network — including claims that it killed Mossad’s main organiser in Iran — making it a costly adventure for the Zionist occupation.

China is now also providing Iran with satellite intel, including detailed images of the US military build-up in the region. In conjunction with Iran’s own, and imported, hypersonic missile systems US bases and naval formations are particularly vulnerable. China’s February 2026 gift of a model of its latest J-20 advanced fighter jet to Iran also signalled its intention of future supply, but manufacture of the aircraft and the need to train pilots mean that this is not an immediate boost to Iran’s defences. However, its advanced missile systems — which the US and Israel are unrealistically demanding Iran give up — pose a major enough threat, particularly with Chinese satellite imagery and potentially guidance.

Iran gave the US warning of this when its drone recently ‘buzzed’ and photographed a US aircraft carrier. The US presented the shooting down of a Shahed-139 drone as proof of US defensive systems. However, the drone had reportedly already transmitted its data back to Iran. The use of a $100m F-35 jet to shoot down a basic $20,000 drone, with a $430,000 missile, after it had completed its mission was hardly a compelling case.

The Strait of Hormuz

Iran is acknowledged to have the ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz to both naval and commercial shipping. Indeed, it already did so this week during what passes for negotiations with an untrustworthy US administration making demands it knows Iran can’t accept. Together with strikes on US airbases and oil interests in the region, Iran could trigger a global financial crisis if attacked. Tehran is already said to have signalled to the US that there would be no repeat of its restrained and pre-warned retaliation against US bases in the 2025 ’12-day war’. It clearly cannot continue to allow the US and Israel to attack it and then make only a symbolic retaliation in response.

Combined with the joint military exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s improved domestic security and enhanced defensive capabilities, this threat is the most likely reason that Trump is still hesitating to attack despite Benjamin Netanyahu’s February 2026 US visit. Netanyahu reportedly threatened Trump that if the US doesn’t attack Iran, Israel will do so unilaterally and ‘make’ the US support it. However, this threat may have sounded hollow, given the retaliatory pummelling Iran gave Israel in June 2025.

Israel’s undoubted ‘kompromat’ on Trump, given Trump’s closeness to Israeli spy-paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, may be more decisive in forcing US action. However, recent reports and comments by Iran’s Khamenei suggest that Iran has hacked the US Justice Department’s unredacted Epstein files and has evidence of Trump’s sexual activity with minors. Certainly Iran successfully hacked the White House in 2025 and Trump’s presidential campaign in 2024.

Coin-toss

Trump’s inherent erratic nature and reported advancing dementia make it a coin-toss which way he’ll go under such opposing pressures. Perhaps a ‘knife edge’ is more appropriate given the danger he and Israel pose to the world. Past form suggests Netanyahu will get his way to the harm of just about everybody else. But just perhaps, China’s, and Russia’s, increased show of support for Iran will be enough to face him down. Long enough to complete Iran’s defence development, at least.

Whatever one’s opinion of the Islamic Republic government, it is the main bulwark of resistance to Israel’s ‘Greater Israel’ regional greed for its neighbours’ land — and its slaughter and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Anyone who cares about the Palestinians and about keeping the whole of western Asia out of the hands of a flailing US and an ethno-supremacist Israel should be hoping the equipping and deterrence work.

Mike Huckabee is the US ambassador to Israel. Huckabee has always been a controversial figure, and yet he’s never had a run like the last few days:

Reparations! https://t.co/xbFCOwIAmL

— Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) February 20, 2026

Don’t heart Huckabee

Al Jazeera reported the following on who Huckabee is:

The devout 69-year-old evangelical Christian was born in the southern US state of Arkansas.

He served as governor of his home state between 1996 and 2007 before launching unsuccessful bids to be the Republican presidential candidate during the 2008 and 2016 primary seasons.

They added:

Huckabee is a staunch supporter of Israel.

After his appointment, Trump released a statement in which he said Huckabee “loves Israel, and the people of Israel, and likewise, the people of Israel love him. Mike will work tirelessly to bring about Peace in the Middle East!”

His appointment demonstrates a “very hawkish, very pro-right-wing Israel” approach by the Trump administration, Yossi Mekelberg, an expert on Israel at the Chatham House think tank, told Al Jazeera.

Many American evangelicals support Israel, but not because they like Israelis. In actuality, they think the creation of Israel is a signifier that the end times are approaching, and that Israel will trigger the Rapture.

If you’re unfamiliar with the term, the ‘Rapture’ is the time when God calls his faithful back to heaven. Said ‘faithful’ will not include the Jewish men and women who live in Israel, even if they do play an instrumental role in jump starting the Armageddon.

Israel — ‘Reparations!’

In the clip above, Huckabee was asked:

Should Israel be expected to even pay one penny to rebuild Gaza at this point?

The first point to make here is that even if Israel was asked, they wouldn’t be the ones paying; it would be the countries which keep this rogue nation financially solvent (i.e. the US and its lackey states like Britain). Secondly, of course they should be asked; they literally levelled the place.

This is how Huckabee responded:

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. And I’ll tell you, if anything, there ought to be reparations to Israel for the extraordinary fight that they have had to conduct to get their hostages back, 252 including many Americans.

To quote Drop Site’s Ryan Grim once again:

Reparations!

This really highlights the cry-bully mindset of the Zionists.

They don’t just want to commit genocide; they want the world to perceive them as the victims of their own atrocities.

Anti-democracy

Huckabee has also attracted criticism for comments he made in conversation with Tucker Carlson:

I am not a fan of Tucker Carlson. I disagree a lot with Carlson. But as an interviewer, Carlson actually, brilliantly, asks follow-up questions, and keeps going, in a way that pretty much no US TV interviewer has done with pro-Israel guests since Oct 7.

According to a new poll, Labour are on track to come third in the Gorton & Denton by-election. While you can never put too much stock in one poll, it’s far from the only sign that Labour are doing badly. Green Party leader Zack Polanski has now drawn attention to the Labour Party’s “panic”:

There are important things to consider about the poll. The first is that the sample size was only 452 people, which is less than half of what’s considered to be ideal (1,000 people). As noted above, the results also leave out undecided voters, with the New Statesman’s Megan Kenyon noting:

There are a few problems for Labour, of course.

The first is that bookies have not looked favourably at Labour’s chances.

The second is doorstep polling from Reform and the Greens has put Labour in third place.

The third is that it’s just very difficult to believe Labour are doing well right now, because the party is embroiled in a never ending stream of paedophile and sex pest scandals, including:

It’s also the case that Powell literally begged the Greens to stand down in an open letter, which is never a sign that things are going well.

It’s not looking good

Of course, Starmer’s lack of popularity is no guarantee Labour will lose. Britain didn’t particularly care for the Tories, yet people kept voting them back in, because they felt like it was in their best interests.

What we’ve seen in recent years, however, is that voters no longer feel like the only options are ‘Labour’ or ‘Conservative’. And if either the Greens or Reform take Gorton & Denton, that will be more true than ever.
