Parents Told To Send Letters To Schools To Get Kids’ Images Removed Online
An online harms expert and therapist has urged parents to contact their children’s schools to get any images of them removed online.
Catherine Knibbs shared earlier in the week that cyber criminals are taking photos of children from school websites and social media, and then manipulating them with AI to make child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Schools are then being blackmailed to send money to stop the images from being shared.
“I’ve personally worked on cases like this as a child trauma and online harms expert – and the cases are sickening,” said Knibbs at the time.
And she warned it’s not just photos uploaded to school websites that are at risk of being taken and manipulated, it’s family photos shared on social media, too.
Her warning came after the National Crime Agency issued an alert in late April to hundreds of thouss of teachers over a “considerable increase” in financially motivated sexual extortion (sextortion).
After her first video was viewed over six million times, Knibbs shared an update urging parents not to wait for the government or tech companies to do something to tackle this growing problem.
“I have been inundated with requests for this … in the United Kingdom and Europe, you have the right to withdraw consent for your child’s images to be used by a setting, which includes schools, gymnastics, scouts, rugby, football, dance, you name it,” she explained in a new video.
“It also includes removing the permission to post on social media and the website and in advertisements and local newspapers.”
Parents urged to fill out letter to give to schools
The expert has created a free template of a letter parents can fill in and hand over (physically, not via email unless it’s encrypted, she advised) to their children’s schools.
In response to her video, lots of parents commented on how, when they refused consent for their child’s images to be shared online, they were treated as “awkward” for doing so.
One parent said: “We never gave consent for pictures of our children to be used by any organisation and were treated as insane and awkward and difficult by most of them!
Another commented: “I have four children and I never gave consent for their pictures to be on Facebook or on the school website… some teachers did comment that this made taking photos of events very tricky and thought that I was overreacting… always been a bad idea.”
One parent noted how, after opting out of having images shared from day one of their child attending school, the headteacher “couldn’t understand my reasoning at all”.
They ended: “Schools do not need to use images of children’s faces to promote their settings.”
Some parents have already tried to tackle the issue. One mum created Aidos – a safeguarding platform that makes every pupil in a school photograph permanently unidentifiable before the image is shared online.
She previously shared on HuffPost UK: “Schools can keep sharing everything they have always shared. The difference is that those images can no longer be used to harm the children within them.”

Politics Home Article | Living with obesity needs more than medication

Our recent launch of a unique in-person GLP-1 support service emphasises the essential need for compassionate, evidence-based support to sit alongside weight loss medication for sustainable results.
We recently announced the launch of a new suite of dedicated GLP-1 support, designed to help people using weight loss medication build the healthy habits they need to achieve and, crucially, sustain their weight loss long-term.
We steadfastly believe our methods can help anyone to lose weight, and for more than 55 years, our mission has been to support anyone and everyone who wants help to do that, with no judgement. The dawn of weight loss medication has not changed this.
We understand the hurt and desperation that overweight can bring. No matter which route people take to lose weight and improve their health – especially through surgery and injections – the decision is unlikely to have been made lightly.
Evidence shows that these medications don’t work long-term on their own, and from speaking to members who have joined us since starting medication, regaining weight when they stop taking it is a worry. The emotional impact alongside the physical toll of regaining weight is why weight loss medication must be partnered with evidence-based wraparound support delivered with empathy and compassion.
Over the past five decades, through our healthy, balanced eating plan, active lifestyle programme and behaviour change support, we’ve helped millions of people reduce their risk of long-term health conditions, improve their weight, fitness and overall metabolic health, and develop healthier habits that last. Our body of evidence doesn’t just show effective – and cost-effective – weight loss, though; it also demonstrates improvements in our members’ self-esteem, confidence and mental wellbeing.
Slimming World’s newly launched GLP-1 support reflects our clear and consistent belief: while medication can play a role in weight loss, lasting success comes from getting the support to make changes around food, drink and exercise, develop strategies and resilience, and build positive lasting habits for life – not medication alone. The GLP-1 support offers an additional layer to our existing programme of tailored guidance specifically for people who are using weight loss medications. It provides practical, evidence-based guidance on nutrition, muscle strengthening activity and appetite management, alongside the emotional and behavioural support people need – areas increasingly recognised as critical for long-term GLP-1 outcomes.
We’ve made a conscious decision not to follow others in the weight management sector in offering a weight loss medication prescription service, and we believe our in-person model sets us apart from those offering digital-only or short-term, medication-led solutions.
Our 12,000 groups are located in the heart of communities across the UK and run by expertly trained consultants who have all been members themselves. They’ve walked in their members’ shoes, they’ve made the decision to lose weight, and they know what it feels like to regain weight. I became a Slimming World member myself in my 20s after putting on weight while at university, and I truly believe the personal understanding and empathy that our consultants have makes all the difference.
Whether members lose weight with Slimming World alone or alongside medication, our commitment is clear: to help people not just lose weight, but stay healthy, confident and at the size and weight they want to be for life.
We share the same ambition as policymakers: a healthier population, reduced pressure on the NHS and lives transformed for the better for the long term. We wholeheartedly believe Slimming World is more relevant than ever in our ability to support the government and the NHS in achieving these goals.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet with the government to discuss our commitment to supporting its efforts to help people whose lives are adversely impacted by obesity and introduce them to our members, some of whom are using weight loss medication, who have lost weight and created lasting healthy habits.

Tucker Carlson Eviscerates Trump’s MAGA Creed, And There Is No Going Back
Tucker Carlson used Donald Trump’s MAGA motto to tear down the president amid their wrecked alliance.
“The last year has not made America great again,” the former Fox News host said Wednesday on “The Tucker Carlson Show.” “The last year has diminished American power at a rate some of us thought was unimaginable. We couldn’t have foreseen, less than a year and a half ago … the damage that this administration, led by that president, for whom we campaigned and liked personally, could do to this country.”
Fast-forward to 8:55 for those remarks and more:
Carlson spring-boarded on Trump’s boast that he had “99%” approval in Israel to lash out at the war the president initiated in Iran after pledging not to get entangled in overseas conflicts.
“The president of the United States bragging about his popularity in a foreign country,” he said, repeating Trump’s 99% boast. “Unmentioned is the fact that he’s 35% in the United States. Thirty-five percent support from Americans, the people he pledged to represent, to fight for, whose side he promised to take in every conflict, foreign and domestic. And yet, there he is, bragging about how popular he is in a foreign country, the same country that got us into the war that is causing, to some extent, his unpopularity in this country.”
“Now you could say, ‘Well that’s just Trump, searching for affirmation wherever he can. Unpopular at home, he retreats into the fantasy of his popularity in another country,’” Carlson continued. “Well, yes, true. But it’s not a one-time exhibition of this. That president has spent the last year looking outward toward the approval of other nations. That president has spent the last year fighting for people who are not his voters, and in many cases not even Americans, and allowing his own country to languish.”
A new Reuters poll indicated that a huge majority of Americans is not pleased with Trump’s job performance.
Carlson, who earlier this month said that Trump “could be the Antichrist” and then denied it, is still giving him hell.

Lupita Nyong’o Addresses Racist Backlash Over The Odyssey Casting
The Oscar winner is among the star-studded cast of Nolan’s upcoming epic, in which she’s set to play the dual roles of Helen Of Troy and her half-sister Clytemnestra.
Over the last few months, Lupita’s casting in these roles has been met with some controversy among far-right critics, exacerbated by comments from conservative political commentator Matt Walsh and tech billionaire Elon Musk, who criticised the decision to cast a Black woman as characters from Ancient Greece.
During a new interview with Elle magazine, Lupita reminded her racist critics that The Odyssey is “ mythological story”.
“I’m very supportive of Chris’s intention with [The Odyssey] and with the version of this story that he is telling,” she continued.
“Our cast is representative of the world. I’m not spending my time thinking of a defence. The criticism will exist whether I engage with it or not.”
She also enthused: “It’s quite something to be a part of The Odyssey, because it is so grand. It spans worlds. So that’s why the cast is what it is. We’re occupying the epic narrative of our time.”
Nolan and the film’s production company Universal are yet to respond to the backlash.
The Odyssey is due to hit cinemas in July, with Matt Damon taking on the lead role of Odysseus.
Joining him in the movie will be Nolan regulars like Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Elliot Page, as well as Tom Holland, Zendaya, Mia Goth, Travis Scott and Oscar winner Charlize Theron.
Nolan is already dismissing critics who’ve taken issue with the historical accuracy in his latest film, insisting: “Hopefully they’ll enjoy the film, even if they don’t agree with everything.
“We had a lot of scientists complain about Interstellar. But you just don’t want people to think that you took it on frivolously.”

3 Reasons Not To Wear Perfume Outside This Summer
I like a great fragrance as much as the next person. But if you’re planning on treating everyone to a noseful of your most prized perfume this summer, some experts advise doing so indoors.
That’s partly because of pests, UV rays, and efficacy; basically, sun and scents don’t always mix.
Here are three reasons why:
1) Certain perfumes attract wasps
At least, that’s according to BBC Gardener’s World, which said you shouldn’t wear it in your garden because wasps are sometimes drawn to the smell.
Dazed reported that fruity and floral scents might be especially tempting. Look out for ingredients like linalool, phenylacetaldehyde and benzyl acetate, which essentially act like nectar signals for our flying friends.
These, they say, are commonly found in the following scents:
- jasmine,
- tuberose,
- ylang‑ylang, and
- orange blossom perfumes.
White flowers and summer fruit scents, like strawberry, are typically draws for wasps.
2) Perfume might make your skin more reactive to sunlight
In a Facebook video, dermatologist Dr Niki Ralph said that you shouldn’t put perfume on skin you’re going to expose to the sun, like your neck.
“Fragrances… particularly certain oils, such as bergamot, lemon, lime… can exacerbate the effect of UV [ultraviolet rays],” she said. This is called photosensitivity, a condition which is triggered by sun exposure – citrus oils are usually the culprit here.
The result of this reaction is called phytophotodermatitis. Over time, that can lead to sun damage and even create broken capillaries and hyperpigmentation.
Applying it to your inner wrists may be safer, Dr Ralph added, because you don’t typically face those towards the sun.
3) Sunlight can make your perfume weaker
GQ said that heat makes perfumes evaporate faster, meaning the smell doesn’t last as long. Sweat also makes it harder for the smell to cling in the first place.
Some smells, like citrus scents, vanish faster than others, too.
Moisturising your skin and spraying a little on your fabric instead of your dermis can help them to last a bit longer.

Why Labour can’t let go of Europe
If anyone had any lingering doubts that the Labour Party had become a delusional, self-seeking and ideologically bankrupt corpse, then the events of the past fortnight ought to have dispelled any final misgivings. The fact that Britain’s governing party is using the issue of the European Union is grimly apposite, because that similarly decrepit and aloof institution is the last remaining thing that binds the factions of a body that has lost its reason for existing.
We all knew the calamitous showing at the 7 May local elections would precipitate a challenge to Keir Starmer’s leadership. Yet not all of us foresaw that the entity which would bring the party together in the ensuing struggle for power would be the EU. Former health secretary Wes Streeting wasted no time after resigning from Starmer’s cabinet before calling for Britain to abandon Brexit and rejoin the EU. In hindsight, this shouldn’t have surprised us.
Even if some of the contenders cynically jink and waver on the issue when it’s convenient – witness Andy Burnham’s backtracking on his previous statements on reversing Brexit – they are all keen to display their pro-federalist credentials because they know this is all Labour has got left. The EU is the last remaining force that unites a hollowed-out party that now believes in nothing except its own survival.
Labour has adopted the blue and gold standard of that modern-day Holy Roman Empire for much the same reason Irish Republicans have become morbidly fixated with Palestine. Just as they have abandoned their ideal of a united Ireland to pursue instead an ersatz cause over which they have no influence, the Labour Party, having given up on the British working class, has found its own substitute raison d’être, one more amenable to its refined, globalist tastes.
Labour stopped being a party for the workers some years ago, to become instead a patrician charity for the workless and workshy. That much was signalled in the 2019 General Election, when the ‘Red Wall’ turned blue, and it was confirmed once again this month. It’s now a party for affluent, cosmopolitan lifestyle-leftists and a lumpenproletariat electoral bloc hooked on welfare. Each partner is locked in a squalid symbiotic relationship. The former accrues the warm glow of benevolence by handing over other people’s money to the latter, to those who might otherwise work, but who now don’t, thanks to the hope-destroying munificence of their paymasters.
Meanwhile, it’s working people of all ranks who are obliged to pay for this seedy embrace. It’s the country which suffers under the weight of the consequent high taxation, borrowing, debt and welfare budget, all of which are pushing the British state towards bankruptcy. This is why ‘working people’ now, for the most part, actively hate the Labour Party.
Not only has Labour largely given up on the working class, there is also a palpable sense that it and the cloistered class who support it find the working class repellent. That much was made clear in 2010 when the then Labour prime minister, Gordon Brown, labelled a Rochdale pensioner a ‘bigot’ for raising concerns about immigration. We saw it once more last week when the current prime minister accused those behind the Unite the Kingdom march of ‘peddling hatred and division, plain and simple’.
They still don’t get it. They still think rallying round the flag of a bullying and vindictive foreign body will provide them a lifeline. They still don’t understand that they’ve lost the working class, and that the more they fixate on this moribund anachronism, the sooner they will guarantee their own oblivion.
Suicidal empathy is all too human
It’s not often that a phrase enters the lexicon before the book that spawned it is actually published. I doubt people spoke about the ‘invisible hand’, ‘Big Brother’ or ‘the selfish gene’ before Adam Smith, George Orwell and Richard Dawkins had devised the phrases. But the Canadian academic Gad Saad, the man responsible for that already well-known phrase ‘suicidal empathy’, has already achieved that rare feat. What with the release in Britain next month of his book by that name, we will finally know what precisely he means by the coinage.
Most people who are familiar with Saad’s previous work will know what it signifies, and I suspect it’s caught on because we intuitively recognise it as a chief symptom of the hyper-liberal mindset. It’s already commonly understood to mean policies or behaviour that, motivated so mindlessly and fanatically by the desire to be or seem compassionate, reward immoral or harmful behaviour and actively make life worse for those doling out uncalculated benevolence.
You probably will have read news reports in recent years that fit this criterion. And some people would say that over-indulgent governmental policies regarding immigration, Islam or DEI policies in the emergency services would be classed as examples of ‘suicidal empathy’ – policies in which the desire to express compassion has actively made life more dangerous and deadly for everyone.
‘Suicidal empathy is a civilisation malady that has entered every nook and cranny of our lives’, wrote Saad in an article for the New York Post last week, and I’m sure he’s right. It’s certainly become an epidemic.
It’s just that it’s not new. Acts or policies motivated by delusional compassion have always been a feature of mankind’s history, especially in cultures in which showing empathy gains you kudos, improves your social standing and ultimately improves your chances of finding a mate.
Likewise, that similar phenomenon of virtue-signalling may have been one of classic hallmarks of wokery, but there have always been ostentatiously caring types who go to any lengths to demonstrate how compassionate they are, in order to further their own egotistical, selfish ends.
‘Suicidal empathy’ is merely the diametric opposite of the ‘invisible hand’, that other eternal phenomenon by which behaviour driven by honest self-interest actually improves society’s lot in the end.
Obesity isn’t a ‘disease’
You may have seen a recent television advert proclaiming that ‘obesity is a disease’. Apparently, the World Health Organisation also agrees. Yet I suspect those behind this campaign have taken inspiration from Alcoholics Anonymous, which tells those who attend its meetings that alcoholism is a ‘disease’.
Yet neither alcoholism nor obesity is itself a disease, only the cause of diseases. Both can be terrible, deadly conditions with many underlying causes, some genetic and physical, but mostly being emotional in origin. Overwhelmingly, people who eat or drink too much do so because they are desperately unhappy. This means that such conditions can be addressed therapeutically, or through self-reflection and willpower.
Telling people the lie that obesity is a ‘disease’ is not going to help. It will only entrench a passive approach to life that is part of their problem.

British banking giant to cut 15% of jobs to AI. The left needs a vision for tech.
British banking giant Standard Chartered could cut more than 7,500 jobs and replace them with AI and automation. More broadly, analysis from Morgan Stanley has found that UK companies that had used AI for a least a year had net losses of 8% of jobs over only the last 12 months. This was the highest level among countries analysed.
Where’s the left’s vision?
AI and automation is actually an opportunity for progression. But the left needs an alternative vision for how the technology is implemented.
Speaking of the job losses, the CEO of Standard Chartered, which is Asia focused, said:
It’s not cost-cutting. It’s replacing in some cases lower-value human capital with the financial capital and the investment capital we’re putting in
“Lower-value human capital” is quite the way to view workers. But the chief executive does make the point that, with AI and automation, capital will essentially become labour. If one has the investment to automate, one has the labour.
Replacing menial jobs with AI and automation can be progress. It could liberate people, enabling them to be creative, establish skills they never had the time for, study, participate democratically and socialise.
But people need some kind of citizens’ dividend from robotic labour in order to survive with less hours or no job.
Study suggests AI netting job losses
In its analysis, Morgan Stanley found that the UK experienced the worst rate of net AI job losses in 2025, compared to other countries. Japan was second with net losses of 7%, then Germany and Australia with net losses of 4%.
So far, UK companies had an average productivity increase of 11.5%.
The research suggests that AI is not actually creating jobs at the same pace as it is replacing them. And the left needs a modern vision for the technology.

Somaliland and Israel agree to open embassies as genocide state’s influence in Africa grows
Israel and Somaliland have agreed to open embassies in Jerusalem and Hargeisa. Israel’s influence in the strategic Horn of Africa is growing. And there have been warnings Israel might ethnically cleanse Palestinians out of Palestine and into the country.
Israel was one of the first countries to recognise Somaliland, a breakaway territory of Somalia, in the early 1990s. UN members railed against the move, but the US defended Israel while not recognising Somaliland itself.
Middle East Eye reported on 19 May:
Somaliland is opening an embassy in Jerusalem, and Israel will reciprocate by opening one in the breakaway region of Somalia, in the latest sign that the two are deepening their ties.
The breakaway country’s ambassador to Israel Mohamed Hagi said:
I am pleased to announce that the Republic of Somaliland’s embassy will be located in Jerusalem – the embassy will be opened soon.
Israel will also establish its embassy in Hargeisa, reflecting growing friendship, mutual respect, and strategic cooperation between our two peoples.
Somaliland borders Somalia, Ethiopia and Djibouti. The latter is home to a major US colonial base and the US has an entire task force devoted to the Horn of Africa.
Israel’s 1991 recognition of breakaway country also caused concerns among other countries in the region:
The move elicited a particularly strong response from Arab and Muslim states that are wary of Israel gaining a foothold in the strategic Horn of Africa through an unrecognised state.
MEE said:
In return for Israeli recognition, Somaliland said it would sign up to the Abraham Accords, the US-led agreements in which Morocco, Bahrain, and the UAE established full diplomatic ties with Israel in 2020 and 2021. Sudan’s agreement to normalise remains unratified amid its civil war.
Somaliland is a strategic node in a wider struggle for influence playing out in the region. The unrecognised state is 30km south of the Bab el-Mandab Strait, the narrow waterway that connects the Gulf of Aden with the Red Sea.
And there are fears that Israel could remove Palestinians from their land, depositing them in Somaliland. Responsible Statecraft wrote on 7 January 2026:
Somali officials have made particularly attention-grabbing claims, alleging that Somaliland is now set to host an Israeli military base and perhaps even camps for Palestinians forcibly displaced from Gaza.
MEE‘s Turkey bureau chief Ragip Soylu said at the time:
NEW: Somaliland agreed three conditions to be recognised by Israel:
1- the resettlement of Palestinians in Somaliland.
2- An Israeli military base on the Gulf of Aden coast.
3- Somaliland’s inclusion to the Abraham Accords.
— Somali President HSM — Ragıp Soylu (@ragipsoylu) December 31, 2025
The former colonial power in the region, Britain, also has some things to answer for:
During the colonial period, British authorities governed Somaliland as a separate entity from the rest of the territory that would one day become Somalia, which Italy controlled at the time. Somaliland even briefly existed as an independent state in 1960, garnering recognition from roughly 30 other countries.
But days after its foundation, Somaliland realigned with Somalia, starting a chain of events which led to civil war and a genocide of some 50,000 Somaliland citizens.
Somaliland is, among other things, a node in the imperial architecture of the region and a one-time colonial possession of the western powers. Israel’s influence appears to follow a similar pattern of outside interference. Only 30 miles from the narrow strait where Red Sea trade flows into the Gulf of Aden, Somaliland’s strategic value is clearly attractive to regional and world powers.

Military order means Palestinians in occupied West Bank will endure harsher death penalty regime
West Bank — As part of its ongoing genocidal campaign against Palestinians, the Israeli occupation passed the Death Penalty Law on 30 March.
Death by hanging, but only for Palestinians
This mandates death by hanging for so-called “terrorism related” offences, and applies only to Palestinians and to crimes committed after the legislation was passed.
Five human rights organisations, together with several Arab members of the Israeli Knesset, are challenging this law before the Supreme Court. They claim it is unconstitutional, discriminatory, and incompatible with international law.
Miriam Azem, International Advocacy Coordinator at Adalah, the Legal Centre for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, tells the Canary:
Adalah petitioned immediately to the Supreme Court. Part of our main argument is that the Knesset, which has no sovereignty and authority over the occupied territory, cannot legislate over the occupied population in the West Bank.
The Israeli occupation’s West Bank military commander, Avi Bluth, who recently boasted “We are killing like we haven’t since 1967,” issued a military order on 17 May. This brought the law into effect in the occupied West Bank, but went significantly further than the Death Penalty Law passed in March.
Military order increases opportunities for “Israel” to kill Palestinians in West Bank
Bluth has expanded the definition of crimes eligible for execution, shifted the burden of proof to the defendant and created a wider, more arbitrary, and more extreme death penalty regime in the West Bank military court system than even the law itself.
“Acts of terrorism” now include killings carried out “with the aim of negating the existence of the State of Israel or the authority of the military commander in the area”.
Adalah, along with other human rights organisations, has now sent an urgent letter to the relevant Israeli authorities, demanding the immediate cancellation of the military order. Azem says:
Almost any resistance to occupation in the occupied West Bank could be considered by an Israeli court as undermining the sovereignty in the West Bank. This is an incredibly broad and vague definition that doesn’t comply with any criminal standards. It is very unclear phrasing, and having that in a criminal code is illegal and egregious. Having that in a criminal code that allows for the death penalty is just completely outrageous.
West Bank — The occupation’s death penalty law for Palestinians is illegal
The military order also introduces legal presumptions that spare the prosecution from having to prove the elements that elevate an intentional killing to a death penalty offence: if a weapon was used, or if the accused belongs to what the Israeli occupation deems an “unlawful association”, those elements are taken as given.
According to Azem, the Death Penalty Law is illegal for several reasons. Firstly, it is illegal to apply “Israeli” law in the occupied territory. Secondly, the military commander in the West Bank, under international humanitarian law, is obliged to prioritise the benefit of the occupied population, which this type of legislation does not do. In addition, this law enters a military court system which lacks fair trials, and uses secret evidence and arbitrary detention. It also relies on confessions obtained through psychological and physical torture. She argues:
The military system in the West Bank is so fundamentally unjust. Because it enters such a system, any death penalty to be rendered from such a process is inherently unlawful under international law. It is quasi mandatory, extremely vague, and targets only one population group — it has very clear apartheid characteristics. It really violates international law on so many different grounds. Adalah demands its immediate cancellation, and if this doesn’t happen we will go to court.
New military tribunal has authority to impose death penalty on 7 October 2023 Resistance fighters
The Knesset also passed, 93-0, new legislation on 11 May establishing a special military tribunal in Jerusalem to prosecute Palestinians from Gaza accused of 7 October 2023 attacks. Mass trials are permitted, the tribunal has the authority to impose the death penalty, and its proceedings will be livestreamed for all to see.
As national security minister Ben-Gvir claims “The death penalty law for [Palestinian] detainees applies to 80% of them”, there are growing fears that the Israeli occupation will target as many Palestinian detainees as possible.
Numerous UN General Assembly resolutions and international legal bodies recognise the right of peoples to self-determination and to struggle against foreign domination and colonial rule. This includes Palestinians, who are legally entitled to resist military occupation.
