The House | “Every Movement Was Controlled”: The Quiet Rise In Children Under Deprivation Of Liberty Orders

Illustration by Tracy Worrall
10 min read
There has been a 13-fold increase in the use of court orders that deny children freedom to move and associate in the last seven years. Justine Smith explores the reasons behind this huge increase in what are supposed to be emergency orders
Hundreds of children with the very highest level of need are being locked away from society, often in illegal, unregistered homes with a rolling rota of untrained staff, because of shortages in therapeutic care.
These children can be controlled through frequent physical restraint and denied basic rights such as contact with family and friends or an education, the ultimate victims of a care system in crisis. They are held under Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) orders, which were designed to give special legal powers to local authorities to restrict the freedom and rights of children and teenagers considered to be an extreme risk to themselves or others.
The orders are handed down through the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court, not criminal courts, but can be more repressive and open-ended than even Young Offender Institutions. Though they are meant to be an emergency, short-term response, critics say they are increasingly being used to plug gaps in health and social care services.
Since 2017, the number of orders has rocketed from just over 100 a year to around 1,300. There are now three times the number of children detained under them than there are in prison, and a fifth stay in place for at least a year. The Children’s Commissioner found that a third were placed in unregistered homes – which are not monitored by education regulator Ofsted – often because legal homes refuse to take them.
The rise can be largely attributed to an increase in older children entering care with complex issues, the collapse of mental health and early intervention services, the reduction of places in secure children’s homes and paediatric psychiatric wards and a shortage of foster carers and children’s homes with the acute expertise and experience needed to support them in the community.
Restrictions often include a ratio of between one and five adults around the child 24 hours a day, sometimes sat outside their bedrooms at night and with bars on windows and locks on every door and limits or bans on phone and internet use. Two thirds come with the right for staff to use physical restraint.
Children subjected to them are almost always in the care system and have complex and unmet needs, such as mental health issues, physical and learning disabilities, and the legacy of early life trauma, sexual and criminal exploitation and familial abuse or neglect.
Judges, campaigners and human rights advocates have all raised concerns about their inappropriate overuse for children who have already been let down by poor, fragmented health and social care services, often leading to an escalation of their challenges.
I was just contained like a wild animal for more than two years, not supported
When most teenagers her age were juggling busy social lives with the build-up to GCSEs, Roismi was being kept in a locked house and followed everywhere by five adults from a rolling rota of paid staff. At a time when she needed unconditional love and privacy during adolescence, her every movement was scrutinised; any change of mood or sign of emotion might lead to terrifying physical restraint.
She was not in trouble with the police or considered a risk to society – only to herself after a history of sexual, psychological and physical abuse, and failures of the services that were supposed to help her recover from her trauma.
After being sectioned hundreds of times and moved through countless foster homes and residential placements, Roismi, who is autistic and has ADHD and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, was put on a DoL Order in unregistered accommodation.
Roismi says she was made to feel like a “demon” by staff who appeared to fear rather than understand her.
“Every movement was controlled,” she explains. “I was watched all the time by people I didn’t know. I cannot cope with being in a room with lots of people. I would go to the kitchen and five people would follow me in so I would retreat to my room, the only place I had moments of privacy. I lost a significant amount of weight in two months.”
Even in her bedroom, staff checked on her every 15 minutes, 24 hours per day, adding insomnia to her problems.
“The damage done to me will last a lifetime,” she adds. “I was just contained like a wild animal for more than two years, not supported. I lost my friends. I only left the house for appointments. It was so much worse than being sectioned in a hospital, where at least I could associate with other young people like me. I wish I had stayed in my abusive family home because at least by now I might have an education and some kind of normal life.”
Anela Anwar, CEO of care charity Become, which has supported Roismi, says: “A society having to resort to depriving children in care of their liberty because there are no safe and suitable homes is one completely failing the children in its care.
“But it doesn’t have to be this way. Through proper investment, the government can create the right homes in the right places, especially those that offer more therapeutic support, to give children the care and stability they need.”
Roismi experienced 18 months of stability in a good, therapeutic children’s home with trauma-informed staff, but she was thrown back into chaos when her most trusted caregiver had to leave.
Latest quarterly figures show the majority on DoL orders are aged 13 to 15, but there was a 52 per cent rise in under-12s over just three months last year.
The orders severely restrict access to education, training or work, and disrupt important relationships and any medical or therapeutic interventions.
Carolyne Willow, a campaigning barrister specialising in children’s rights, says: “It is intolerable that highly vulnerable children continue to be deprived of their liberty in arrangements cobbled together in crisis and haste, often in unregistered children’s homes devoid of Ofsted scrutiny and other protections such as monthly independent safeguarding checks.”
She says the lack of specialist, skilled local authority provision is driving the increase in cases to the High Court for the last resort “safety net” of DoL orders.
“These children are being typically held in so-called ‘solo placements’ where they are under constant surveillance by staff who often have neither the training nor support to meet their considerable needs.”
Research led by the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory (FJO) into the risk factors and reasons for increases in orders, and the conditions and outcomes children on them face, found they were placed an average of 56 miles from home, and more than half were put in unregistered – therefore illegal – provision.
Roismi’s experiences were reflected in interviews with other young people for the project, who described the draconian orders as damaging, re-traumatising and exacerbating existing problems, leading to feelings of isolation, hopelessness, despondency, distrust and resentment. Some told of being repeatedly restrained by staff who had not been trained, in which they suffered injuries as well as psychological trauma.
Some said they had not been told why they were on one or how to get it removed, while others said they had not spoken to their families for months. Many, like Roismi, said they were completely unprepared when they were thrown back into the real world at 18, expecting to end up dead or in prison.
FJO director Lisa Harker says: “The reality is, they very rarely go to school, a few have learning at home. They often have complex mental health and trauma-related issues, however they do not get priority in CAMHS [Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services] even though they are often moved around a lot, meaning they never get to the front of any queue.
“Services may say they can only start treatment once settled. So they are denied the very help that might get them off a DoL, keeping them prolonged, and are then dumped when they are 18 with no education, having not developed social skills or been able to learn how to be independent and with mental health issues that have been allowed to escalate in the absence of any meaningful support.”
A spokesperson for the Department for Education said: “These reports of children’s experiences are shocking, and we recognise the concerns raised. We are making major changes to children’s social care to ensure that when, in the most serious cases, a child needs to be deprived of their liberty for their own safety, they are cared for in accommodation that is safe, appropriate and fit for purpose.
“Children should not be facing placements in unregistered homes when they need the highest levels of care and protection.”
They added that the government was spending £2.4bn on supporting families to stay together and £560m to create more places for children in high-quality, registered homes.
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is proposing new DoLs accommodation in the community, as an alternative to secure children’s homes where they are unable to leave the premises, and would strengthen oversight and accountability where children are deprived of their liberty. However, the changes could take years to take effect and the rate of incarceration through DoL orders continues to rise.
Campaigners including the Children’s Commissioner are calling for the bill to go further, mandating national data recording and oversight of every DoL and legal representation for those affected, as well as a clear legal and regulatory framework safeguarding their rights and welfare.
There are alternative models, such as the multi-agency Myst (My Support Team) model in Wales, an intensive mental health service for children on the edge in the care system which works with their carers to provide holistic, long-term support before issues escalate to the point where a DoL might be needed.
As well as drastically improving their outcomes and wellbeing, such early, committed interventions, while costly in the short term, will undoubtedly reduce pressures on council resources down the line.
Secure children’s homes can cost £350,000 a year, but an intensive DoL order such as Roismi’s – which included four trained nurses at all times – can cost up to £3m.
Now 20, she is in supported living and has more freedom, but says she has lost years of her childhood and is now struggling to catch up before all support ends when she turns 25. She has been so institutionalised, she says, she still automatically asks for permission just to be able to go outside and has accumulated £28,000 of debt in unpaid rent and bills, having been unaware she needed to sign on for the housing element of Universal Credit.
Despite all the challenges she has faced, she has set up a not-for-profit organisation, My Trauma is Chronic but I’m Iconic, which mentors and supports other young people as they go into adulthood after care or other adverse early life experiences.
However, Roismi is an anomaly in a care system that is failing so badly that leavers are seven to eight times more likely to die before they reach the age of 21, five times more likely to die by suicide and make up around a quarter of the prison and homeless populations.

A Tribute to Derek Conway
On Friday, the funeral of former Conservative MP Derek Conway was held in his beloved Northumberland. In the end, I was unable to go, which was such a shame as Derek was one of those people who was a one-off, one of life’s most positive and generous people. He was great company, and although I wouldn’t pretend to be one of his closest personal friends, I remember some quite deep and meaningful conversations, and some hilarious Whatsapp exchanges in recent years.
The last time I saw him was at my Margaret Thatcher booklaunch last June. He told me afterwards that people he had known for years hadn’t recognised him as he’d been on Mounjaro. Given there were a couple of hundred people there, we didn’t have much time to talk, but I remember we promised to meet up soon and have a proper catch-up. It never happened. In February, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and given less than a year to live. He died on 5 May, at home with his darling wife Colette and their three children, Henry, Freddie and Claudia. He was only 73. I’ve just looked up his last message to me on Whatsapp. It came on 10 April and read:
“Fading rather quickly🤕 Around 9st now (not the 16 you’ll recall!) They gave me less than a year on mid-Feb so the clock is ticking down steadily. YOU ENJOY EVERY DAY💪Dx”.
At that point I had planned to go and see him when I was going to be in the North East in mid May. Despite that message I didn’t realise he thought the end was imminent. Andrew Mitchell and David Davis went to see him around that time for a final reunion of the band of brothers that became lifelong friends in the whips office during the Major government.
I didn’t know Derek at that point. He had been elected as MP for Shrewsbury in 1983, but I didn’t come across him when I worked in Parliament in the mid 1980s, or subsequently when working as a lobbyist in the 1990s. I do remember, however, his colleague Patrick Nicholls asking me in 1997 if I knew of any jobs going, as he was keen to help Derek following the loss of his seat in the Blair landslide. Derek subsequently became chief executive of the Cats Protection League, transforming it and increasing its turnover from £5 million to £27 million in only five years.
I first got to know Derek in the early months of 2005 when I attended a weekend meeting at Andrew Mitchell’s home in Nottinghamshire, ostensibly to discuss a potential David Davis leadership campaign, followed in late March by a similar event over dinner at the Conway’s magnificent flat near Westminster Cathedral. Believe me, dinners at the Conways were always memorable.
Derek’s public reputation and his actual real character were at odds with one another. During the leadership campaign itself, Derek and Andrew were often described in the newspapers as bullies. They were accused of issuing threats to Tory MPs that if they didn’t get on board with the DD campaign, they wouldn’t be rewarded with shadow ministerial positions. If that side of Derek really existed, I never witnessed it. As DD’s chief of staff during that period. Indeed, quite the opposite. All I saw was a man full of the joys of life, often displaying a wicked sense of humour, and someone who was very comfortable in his own skin. It proved to be a difficult six months for me, as I was a square peg in a round hole. Given at that stage I didn’t know him well, he was incredibly kind to me and was full of wise and advice, especially in how to handle the more difficult personalities involved in the campaign.
Back in April 2023, I met Derek for dinner in Hexham. I was there for the literary festival and had had a nightmare journey up the M1 and A1. I had gone almost blind in one eye half way up the M1 and had no idea if it would be long lasting. Derek shared some of his own health concerns and we joked about we were becoming typical old people – obsessed with health issues. We reflected on the DD campaign, then 18 years in the past, but my abiding memory of the dinner is that it was full of laughter.
Andrew Mitchell gave the eulogy at Derek’s funeral, and I can think of no better way of ending this tribute by quoting from it.
“For reasons I cannot immediately recall, he ended up presenting on television a book review show. This, as the title suggests, involved reading the book or books that were the subject of the show each week – which Derek always did – and the guests he invited on his show to discuss the books were supposed to do likewise. On the occasion that Iain Dale and I were his guests, it quickly became apparent that neither I nor Iain had actually opened the book in question. However, with magnificent sang froid, Derek managed to deliver the half-hour programme.”
I had forgotten all about this, but when Andrew phoned me to confirm the details, it all came flooding back. Sadly, neither of us can recall the book that remained unread by two of the three of us!
Everyone who counted Derek as a friend can’t quite believe we’ll never hear his gentle north east accent again, or hear that wonderful chortle. He enriched our lives, and that isn’t a bad legacy.
The Times has done a full obituary of Derek, which you can read HERE.

Canary Catch Up: Sauciness of Rivals and substanceless The Testaments
Hello and welcome to Canary Catch Up. Each week, our resident telly addict Rachel Charlton-Dailey will bring us bang up to date with the shows she’s been obsessed with, what she’s hate-watching, and what she can’t wait to get stuck into.
My God, it’s been hot this week, hasn’t it? I’m not made for this weather, but on one of the rare occasions I left my cool house, I saw the fantastic Mike Garry perform his poetry at King Ink in Sunderland. Garry’s poetry is a sharp look at working-class family life. His poem ‘what me mam taught me’ brought tears to my eyes.
If you’re looking for an escape from the heat, there’s a plethora of telly to watch in a shaded part of your house, too.
Rivals is hotter than ever — but also sincere
I’ve absolutely loved this series of Rivals. Obviously, it’s an inherently sexy show, and that part is done very well, but even better is the way the complexities of relationships are explored. In episode 5, we saw Taggie dealing with her family just casually forgetting her 21st birthday. Instead of being shocked, she was used to it; which made it even sadder.
Alongside the scandalous love affairs and the very short shorts this episode, it was also heartbreaking to see how it all affects those who are trying to do good. Especially poor Lady B, who was forced onto TV to save her cheating, lying husband’s reputation. Though I’m very much looking forward to what happens between her and Edna, and the hints we’ve had of their past.
With one episode left before the mid-series break, there are two questions on my lips: who stole the tapes, and who on earth is Perdita?
Canary Catch Up — The Testaments puts shock value above story
I was so looking forward to the TV adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments. The novel was set 15 years after The Handmaid’s Tale and followed three different women influenced by Gilead on how they played a part in toppling the regime. However, I should’ve learnt my lesson after how much they prioritised gore and shock and put more onus on the men in the Handmaid’s Tale series, because they’ve done exactly the same here.
The Testaments novel is an incredible work that shows how women reclaim power even when it seems absolutely impossible. The show, however, is too focused on brutality to actually show the intricacies of Atwood’s writing. The biggest problem is that they changed the story so much in THT, so they had to do the same here and just completely messed up the timelines. This means the biggest reveal of the book, that Daisy is baby Nicole, can’t and doesn’t happen.
The Testaments is absolutely bizarre in the way that it’s softened a lot of storylines but made some so much more brutal. It truly feels like a show designed purely to go viral, and that’s such a massive shame.
BBC rinses the planet with crap AI panel
Tonight Question Time features an imagined AI panel made up of historical figures who shaped the modern world
Watch the #bbcqt AI special now on @BBCiPlayer and @BBCNews to see what our REAL panel have to say on AI, including how it can blur the lines between reality and fakery pic.twitter.com/G1HVSUyt5t
— BBC Question Time (@bbcquestiontime) May 28, 2026
Whilst the planet is literally burning because AI is guzzling up so much water, the BBC decided to air a pro-AI Question Time panel. As The Canary reported, the panel itself was stacked with pro-AI shills. And to send the message home even further, the supposedly unbiased BBC pushed out an advert featuring a fully AI panel of famous people from history.
On it were Gandhi, Winston Churchill, Frida Kahlo and Emmeline Pankhurst and yes, it was exactly as crap as it sounds. Pankhurst’s Votes for Women sash was the wrong colours, Kahlo’s flowers melded into her head, Churchill kept dramatically smizing with the camera and Gandhi didn’t seem to move. Most weird of all, Fiona Bruce was also AI, which is absolutely ridiculous when you consider how robotic the real version is.
Brain-free binge
Y’know how sometimes you just need to watch something absolutely mind-numbing to take your thoughts off the world being on fire? Well, I’ve got you. Due to chronic pain, I’m a connoisseur of reality TV that doesn’t require any brain power to watch. My latest fave is Million Dollar Secret on Netflix. Put your feet up and ignore your phone for an hour as Peter Serafinowicz is your host, whilst Americans lie and backstab for money, much like their president is doing.
Canary Catch Up — Looking ahead
Coming up this week, I’m looking forward to the release of Tip Toe on Channel 4. Russell T Davies’ new drama will look at how LGBTQ+ are just trying to live our bloody lives while prejudice and hate is being ushered back in. It will look at how the opinions and lies in the mainstream affect day to day life.
I’m also looking forward to finally seeing the Mandalorian and Grogu film this week! So look out for reviews of both of those next time on the Canary Catch Up.

Corporate Western media appears to celebrate Israel’s Illegal occupation of Lebanon
Ethnic Cleansing — Several Western corporate media outlets have appeared to celebrate Israel’s illegal occupation of the Crusader-era Qal’at al-Shaqif Castle in southern Lebanon.
“Captured a strategic mountain”
At this point it sounds like AP is celebrating Israel’s unlawful occupation of Lebanon. https://t.co/b13dCVICHD
— Assal Rad (@AssalRad) May 31, 2026
On Sunday, May 31, Israel issued more illegal forced displacement orders to all residents living south of the Zahrani River. The attack suggests that Israel is moving towards attacking the city of Nabatieh.
Israel had issued more than 10 displacement orders in the last 24 hours. On Friday, the IOF crossed the Litani River for the first time since 2006.
Now, Israel has illegally occupied the historic Beaufort Castle (Qalaat al-Shaqif) in southern Lebanon. In the process of doing so, it killed a paramedic and damaged a hospital.
A paramedic has been killed and a hospital damaged, as Israeli forces say they have captured the historic Beaufort Castle (Qalaat al-Shaqif) in southern Lebanon, pushing beyond the Litani River for the first time since 2006.

Whitewashing
The Associated Press, CNN, Financial Times, and Reuters all used words such as “seized”, “strategic”, “major advance”, and “expands” to describe Israel’s illegal invasion and occupation – all of which are war crimes.
They straight-up stole it. It’s land theft. https://t.co/PpprezaU2t
— Arturo Dominguez (@extremearturo) May 31, 2026
Even Al Jazeera put out a headline stating:
Israel issues more displacement orders in Lebanon, seizes strategic castle
Importantly, the dictionary definition of seizure is:
the taking possession of person or property by legal process
Nothing about Israel’s actions in Lebanon, Gaza, Iran, Syria, Yemen, or anywhere else is legal under international law.
What the headline should have said was:
Israel continues to ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon and illegally occupies historic castle.
Of course, we would expect no less from the occupied corporate media, which have spent nearly three years whitewashing Israel’s war crimes.
Western media outlets have continuously used the passive voice to describe Israel’s crimes, failed to name Israel as the perpetrator, and framed the genocidal-terrorist state’s crimes as ‘defeating terrorists’.
“Captured”? Was the mountain a run away? Lost and found? Or maybe “invaded” “occupied “? https://t.co/9YPBUGzy5p
— Samar D Jarrah (@SamarDJarrah) May 31, 2026
All you have to do is compare the reporting to that of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine to see that Western media is in the pockets of the Israeli government.
“Captured”? “Incursion”? Is this the language that we would use to describe a Russian invasion and occupation of Ukrainian territory? This strikes as valorising the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, as opposed to informing the reader. https://t.co/vwu2GA7gwU

Of course, the difference is that the majority of Lebanese people and Palestinians are Arab, whereas Ukrainians are mainly white. Black and brown lives have never mattered to Western media outlets or governments.
Additionally, the word ‘strategic‘ sounds like a game of chess. It legitimises Israel’s war crimes and suggests that the settler-colonial state has a right to be in southern Lebanon, which it does not.
Manufacturing consent for ethnic cleansing
Obviously, the framing is deliberate. In the same way that the Western media manufactured consent for the illegal invasion of Iran in 2026 and Iraq in 2003, it continues to provide Israel with the conditions and global consent it needs to carry on its genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing of Lebanon.
Can I walk in my neighbor’s yard and “capture” it? Maybe I’ll go to the grocery store and “capture” a $150 brisket that once cost 40-50 bucks.
As long as you report it that way, people will be cool with it, right? https://t.co/PpprezaU2t

Incursion = Invasion
Captured = Occupied https://t.co/6ZNM7ed5k0— Chris Doyle (@Doylech) May 31, 2026
You’d have thought that if the Associated Press can spell ‘incursion’, they could spell ‘war crimes’ or ‘illegal’. It managed to point out that Israel has, so far, murdered 3,350 people in Lebanon and displaced more than one million. However, not once in a 1,104-word article does the journalist use the word ‘illegal’ or ‘war crime’
Coincidence?
Whitewashing and minimising Israel’s crimes only benefits Israel. The illegal Zionist regime is stealing land — so let’s call it what it is. Ethnic cleansing, illegal occupation, land theft and genocide.
And let’s not forget that Israel continues to ignore a ‘ceasefire’ to commit these war crimes.

British company responsible for California chemical leak is building F-35 parts for Israel
The military contractor responsible for a huge chemical leak in southern California is also manufacturing parts for F-35 jets for Israel.
A 7,000-gallon chemical tank ruptured and threatened to explode at the GKN Aerospace plant in Garden Grove, California, last week. It forced over 50,000 people to evacuate. Crucially, GKN is a British engineering company, headquartered in Birmingham.
The tank contains thousands of gallons of methyl methacrylate. This is a highly volatile and flammable substance used to make plastic. Only recently, it was deemed at risk of a major spillage or an explosion.
Garden Grove is a predominantly working-class and immigrant city in Orange County, just outside of Los Angeles. This means that the evacuation order mainly affected lower-income residents.
Military-industrial complex
Since 2017, the plant has brought in more than $13m in subcontracts with Lockheed Martin, a huge military contractor which is swimming in complicity for Israel’s genocide.
A previous analysis by Ploughshares, an independent Canadian research institute, found that Lockheed awards subcontracts to hundreds of companies in more than a dozen countries to help build F-35 jets.
Now, The Intercept has revealed that GKN is one of the companies manufacturing parts for F-35 Jets, which are likely bound for Israel. In total, GKN has raked in over $255m from subcontracts with Lockheed Martin.
GKN openly describes its Garden Grove plant as “the leading provider” of the plastic bubble which surrounds the cockpit of the F-35 fighter jet.
Importantly, Methyl methacrylate, the chemical that started leaking from the plant last week, is an ingredient in this plastic bubble.
John Ramming Chappell, advocacy and legal advisor at Center for Civilians in Conflict, told The Intercept:
Due to the nature of the F-35’s global supply chain, it is likely that the F-35 components produced at the Garden Grove facility are incorporated into aircraft exported to Israel
This is the same type of aircraft that the Israeli military has used to kill civilians and violate international humanitarian law.
Supplying war criminals with F-35 killing machines
The IOF has repeatedly used F-35s to murder and maim civilians in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. Hundreds of human rights organisations have called on governments to halt their roles in F-35 production for Israel.
Israel currently has 48 F-35s but is planning to expand its fleet to 100. On January 20, the Canary shared news from Lakenheath Alliance for Peace that three new F-35Is left the UK air base, RAF Mildenhall. These were heading from the UK to Israel.
Obviously, most of these were paid for with US State Department funding because Israel can’t even fund its own genocide.
On May 19, only several days before the leak began, Garden Grove city officials issued a permit for a 34,000-square-foot expansion of GKN Aerospace’s facility.
The company claimed the reason for the expansion was the increasing demand for F-35 jets. This would enable the company to double its production of aircraft canopies.
Swimming in controversy
In recent years, GKN agreed to pay a settlement of almost $1m for environmental violations. These included failure to maintain records of emissions and operating equipment without a permit. Before that, authorities also fined the company for failing to properly inspect its machinery and for labour safety violations.
Obviously, these types of things, along with the current leak, are entirely predictable. What else should we expect when a company puts war, murder and profit above morals and people?
GKN Garden Grove has also raked in more than $4.5m in additional subcontracts with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, which is also owned by Lockheed Martin. It signed contracts in 2023 to produce CH-53K military helicopters. In 2025, Israel ordered a dozen new Sikorsky military helicopters.
We should have guessed that the US military-industrial complex played a part in a potentially deadly spill, which could have harmed tens of thousands of people.
Of course, the US government will continue to sacrifice the well-being, safety, and paychecks of poor people in the US. All so that Israel can continue bombing black and brown people in West Asia without consequence.

Why this stubborn cosmetics tycoon will make you root for a millionaire
I don’t usually root for millionaires. In fact, I would say I have a visceral hatred for them. Most corporate biographies offer nothing but exploitative tales of untouchable oligarchs hoarding wealth at our expense. Yet the wild, radical journey of LUSH co-founder Mark Constantine breaks this mould entirely. Hearing about Mark’s humble beginnings, how he experienced homelessness and sleeping under hedges, resonated with me from the start. I’ve been on the streets, and I know how hard it is.
The laughter at the launch
On Thursday, 28 May, I attended the book launch of Dear John inside the stunning LUSH studio on Beak St, London. The event was small, intimate and hosted by James O’Brien. Attendees mixed cocktails while making their own bath bombs as we chowed down on cupcakes emblazoned with Mark’s face. Speaking directly with Constantine and his lifelong friend Jeff Osment, I found the tycoon warm and welcoming.
I still sometimes struggle with being invited to these events. A large part of me still carries that homeless mindset. Yet the absolute openness in that room proved that we made the right eclectic and headstrong man, famous. He’s a star of industry who never forgot his roots. Throughout this book, the backdrop is of a lost boy searching for his father, whom he never knew. The book is named after the perfume Constantine created as an ode to his father. Banging scent, by the way.
Supported by his wife, Mo, who frequently acted as the breadwinner, Mark was a seed who took a little while to sprout. With a little watering from his wife and friends, his relentless passions in natural skincare propelled him to international success. But this is a profound rags-to-riches story without the usual corporate greed. Mark didn’t just line his pockets; he took his money and chose to share it with whoever and whatever he could. He used his £1bn empire to fight state power, fund radical animal-safety campaigns, and rock the corporate world.
LUSH — Moving past corporate crap
When I say I couldn’t put this book down, I mean it. This expanded second edition by HarperCollins brings the history right up to date, and it’s a wild ride. The new chapters bring to light the brutal realities of navigating a collapsing high street. LUSH has survived pandemic closures and Brexit-related staffing issues and has navigated the challenges of managing 50 regional shops directly in the Ukraine warzone. And permeating through the pages was the message that corporate survival relies on community, rather than balance sheets and board meetings.
Constantine always rejected chemical-heavy industry standards. Working from a small, cramped room in his and Mo’s marital home, the young couple mass-produced natural, herbal formulas for The Body Shop. He stubbornly followed his passions, whether it was securing a community allotment with his closest friends or taking up beekeeping to intimately understand the ingredients he used in his concoctions.
His deep love for the land and for wildlife directly shaped his legacy. When his company Cosmetics to Go ultimately folded, Constantine didn’t give up. Instead, he pivoted to recording birdsong and authored two books on it. And using this love of life, he transformed his new project, LUSH, into a powerhouse of activism. The business has backed so many important movements that other corporate entities are shit scared of.
Most notably, Constantine launched a fierce, decades-long war against animal cruelty. He sent two of his trusted employees to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to protest lab testing and established the annual global LUSH Prize. The fund has dished out nearly £3m to scientists and activists working to replace animal safety trials. Constantine has reached even further, financing anti-blood sports campaigns and donating tens of thousands directly to the Hunt Saboteurs Association through dedicated products such as the Fabulous Mrs Fox bubble bar.
LUSH — Upsetting the establishment
This willingness to fund radical, direct action has landed Constantine in hot water. Come on, it’s not normal rich folk behaviour. And the establishment hates it. Rather than hoard wealth like some lovely-smelling dragon, Constantine used LUSH windows nationwide to launch the massively controversial SpyCops campaign. Partnering with Police Spies Out of Lives and the Campaign Opposing Police Surveillance, his shopfronts were covered in fake police tape, crying out that the police had crossed the line.
The campaign was fearless in exposing the human rights violations committed by undercover cops. LUSH called out the targeting of women in particular who had been coerced into long-term and intimate relationships. Constantine faced massive online backlash and calls for corporate boycotts from the Police Federation, but Constantine refused to back down.
Co-founding LUSH on 100% cruelty-free, ethical terms, he built the brand into the giant it is today. And he built it as a weapon to help fight for global wealth redistribution. And they have backed everything from anti-war efforts to local community food projects.
One of my favourite tales in the book, which perfectly embodies Mark, is the story of how he took on Amazon and won. When the internet retail giant began using the trademarked word “Lush” to direct search traffic towards crappy rival cosmetics, Constantine did not take it lying down. He sued the corporate giants and won a stunning High Court victory. And in a beautiful display of stubbornness against Amazon’s pushback, Constantine trademarked the name of Amazon’s then-managing director. He threatened to release a LUSH shower cream called Christopher North, described as being “rich, thick and full of it”.
Weirdly, Amazon backed down.
The end?
And guess what? Constantine finally found his father, with the help of Jeff. But Dear John is about more than that. This book is a powerful testament to human resilience and proves that, with the right people around you, grassroots solidarity can build a global empire. And you don’t have to sell your soul.
Mark Constantine stands as rare proof that wealth can be used as a weapon for change. And I cannot wait to help them achieve that.
Dear John is out on Thursday, 4 June, and launches at £25. Pick it up in LUSH stores, online at LUSH, or in bookshops nationwide.

Burnham slams ‘desperate’ Farage over vile AI slop-post
On 30 May, Nigel Farage posted the latest in a long line of dehumanising political ads. Reacting with more good humour than Farage deserved, Makerfield candidate Andy Burnham responded as follows:
Are you getting desperate, lad?
Maybe keep your crypto millions for something else. — Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) May 30, 2026
Using refugees as pawns like this shows that Farage lacks any empathy whatsoever.
And if he cares this little for the people who are most in need, we’ve got bad news for anyone deluded enough to think he cares about them.
Nasty Nigel
Farage later highlighted what he was talking about:
Your scheme will provide housing and benefits to people who came here illegally.
I prefer to put the British people first. pic.twitter.com/CEG7Tfg2wc
— Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) May 30, 2026
You’ll note Burnham’s plan relates to refugees and that Farage refers to “people who came here illegally”. Sadly ,in the UK, these two things aren’t mutually exclusive. The reason for this is because we’ve opted to use the loophole of being an island to shirk our international responsibilities.
Speaking more on how the UK criminalises desperation, Rose Cocker wrote for the Canary:
safe and legal routes are desperately few and far between. Often, they focus on very specific groups of refugees, such as Ukrainians, who are predominantly white, whilst neglecting others, who are predominantly people of colour.
Without a massive expansion of safe routes, asylum seekers are left with no option but dangerous channel crossings. If asylum seekers have no right to work or other decent income, they will be forced to work illegally. Without adequate housing alternatives, the UK will have to use hotels to accommodate asylum seekers.
These are problems, certainly. But they are problems that our government has caused.
Farage doesn’t want to solve these problems; he just wants to treat the victims like a punching bag so Reform voters get to feel like there’s someone below them on the totem pole.
“Crypto millions”
Burnham’s response to Farage also included this line:
Maybe keep your crypto millions for something else.
![]()
As we’ve reported, Farage is facing separate investigations over a £5m ‘gift’ he failed to declare:
Here are the facts as laid down by Derbyshire: Same old same old https://t.co/ViEIFZkf3A
— Alonso Gurmendi (@Alonso_GD) May 6, 2026
1) Farage says he won’t run
2) crypto billionaire pays him £5mill
3) Farage U-turns and runs
4) Farage hides the donation
5) Farage announces if he wins the election he will slash capital gains tax for crypto firms
Since all this came out, Farage has done his best to avoid interviews:
Victoria Derbyshire, "We asked for an interview with Nigel Farage tonight and we got a thumbs down emoji from his team"
"Over the last couple of weeks we've asked for an interview with Nigel Farage or anyone from Reform UK's front bench ten times"
Jake Berry, who used to be a… pic.twitter.com/l594M6EQ1Q — Farrukh (@implausibleblog) May 19, 2026
Given Farage’s reluctance to speak on camera, it will be interesting to see how he copes with this by-election. And with rumours of Burnham calling an early general election if he wins, things could get even more intense for the toad-faced huckster.
Burnham — A sign of things to come
In response to the Burnham-Farage exchange, Channel 4’s Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked:
Is this the next general election campaign? pic.twitter.com/ozyNsfa8O9

He’s predicting that the next election will be Farage calling Burnham a ‘refugee lover’ and Burnham accusing Farage of being in the pocket of billionaires. In other words, it’s an election in which Britons will decide who they think is bleeding this country dry: the refugees who have nothing or the billionaires who own everything.
And sadly, neither of these men seem set to represent the pro-refugee position:

Streeting does Blair’s bidding with call for more drilling
On 26 May, the wax-faced war criminal Tony Blair returned with a half-baked essay on what the UK should do next. Among his widely-panned arguments was the suggestion that we need to increase North Sea drilling. And now, like clockwork, the Blairite homunculus Wes Streeting has stepped forwards to make roughly the same argument:
Labour should cut national insurance and issue new oil drilling licences for North Sea, Streeting says https://t.co/yWsOYDXf0n
— LBC (@LBC) May 31, 2026
New Streeting, New Danger
In his essay, Blair wrote:
3. We must prioritise cheaper energy and electrification over net zero and use what is left of our North Sea oil and gas resources. This is essential for our competitiveness and for taking advantage of AI.
Responding to this, the CEO of Naked Energy wrote:
The conflict in Iran has given us yet another reminder that dependence on gas weakens our energy security. UK wholesale gas prices rose by around 90% in the first week of the conflict alone, and that volatility feeds straight through to businesses and households.
Shifting towards generating our own gas does not change this, because the fuel extracted from the North Sea is sold at international prices, so it does not provide households or businesses with any insulation from global shocks.
You’ll note Blair’s proposal is in line with the far-right parties Reform UK and Restore Britain. While you can’t simply do the opposite of what your opponents do, it’s important to note that both Blair and the far-right are ignoring the same key information:
The North Sea is pretty much spent and what is left is expensive to lift. Plus, you're wasting time talking about shale.
Why do you make no mention of renewables or battery storage? pic.twitter.com/pFF9X5cZkq
— Clean Energy (@EnergyMix_UK) May 30, 2026
Getting to Streeting, here’s what the ex-health secretary said when asked if the UK should grant new licenses:
Yes. I think that’s probably where Ed will get to. When he makes a decision, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the case.
The granting of those licences will not necessarily translate into cheaper bills, but it will translate into higher tax receipts
Cheaper bills for Britons?
No.
Increased profits for the corporate vultures who are waiting to slurp up what’s left in the North Sea?
Absolutely!
AI freefall
You’ll note Blair’s given reason for supporting more drilling was AI. No prizes for guessing why that is:
I'm not interested in any coverage of Tony Blair's views that makes no mention of the fact the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) is bankrolled by billionaire Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle.
From 2021-2025, Ellison donated or pledged £257m to the TBI. Of course he's an AI evangelist!
— Aisha Nicole Malik-Smith (@ANMalikSmith) May 27, 2026
While figures like Blair are talking up AI, the AI companies themselves are experiencing something of a meltdown. Until recently, they charged businesses a subscription fee; something they struggled to make money from, because AI models cost so much to run. Now they’ve switched to capping how much customers can use, and as a result businesses have started to ask themselves:
- Can we afford this?
- Are we getting any sort of return on investment?
As AI critic Ed Zitron has reported, the answer to question 1 is increasingly ‘no‘: the answer to question 2 is usually ‘we’re not even sure how to measure it‘:
The problems don’t end there either:

Popular support
To be entirely clear on the North Sea situation, many Britons think we should open new oil and gas developments:

We could really do with a follow-up question here, though, as we doubt people will feel the same once you explain: ‘this plan won’t bring your bills down even slightly‘.
To be entirely fair to Wes Streeting, he is at least admitting now that more drilling won’t benefit ordinary people. To be less fair to him, it’s time to make like a North Sea rig and get in the f*cking sea.

Trump loses it as US’s 250th Anniversary plans collapse
Trump — As we find ourselves in the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, the country is more American than ever. This isn’t a compliment, of course, but it is a way of introducing the chaos we’re seeing around the anniversary planning — chaos even right-wingers are calling out:
I’m actually pretty pissed at how badly they’ve bungled America 250. First they tried to invite Milli Vanilli and a bunch of other absurdly washed up geriatric one hit wonders. Then when that didn’t work they decided to convert the event into a Trump rally where Trump will talk… https://t.co/lYo2jUWOLy

Happy birthday
America has produced some of the biggest musical acts of all time. Given this, you’d think it would be easy to book some big hitters for the 250th Anniversary. Instead, we got the likes of Milli Vanilli — a German pop outfit which was famous for not singing their own songs (one of whom is now deceased, RIP):

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) May 28, 2026
As if this wasn’t embarassing enough, several acts have now pulled out, including the Commodores, Morris Day and the Time, and the aforementioned Milli Vanilli. Poison singer Bret Michaels said the following:
Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of
He added:
Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable. Because of that, I have made the difficult decision to step away from this performance
To be fair, the US is a little busy losing Israel’s wars right now, so they can’t be expected to defend the nation’s second-tier rockers.
In the post at the top, Donald Trump described the acts pulling out as having “the yips”. He also vowed to replace them himself, claiming he has more appeal than Elvis. And the crashout didn’t stop there:
Holy shit, Trump is really crashing out.

Net Zero is lining Putin’s pockets
Three months ago, UK prime minister Keir Starmer used the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to promise a tougher sanctions campaign against Putin’s energy interests.
In his speech, Starmer praised the ‘incredible resilience’ of the Ukrainian people and said it was a ‘falsehood’ to claim Putin was winning. Ukraine’s allies, he said, had to ‘double down’ on support. ‘That means capability’, he said. ‘It means resource. It means more sanctions.’ Britain would target 300 Russian energy companies and the shadow fleet, which were ‘essential in terms of weakening the ability of Russia to continue with this aggression’.
Yet in May, Starmer’s government announced that diesel and jet fuel made from Russian crude oil would be allowed to flow into the United Kingdom, provided it is refined in a third country. The reaction from the public and the media has been one of outrage. Wasn’t the UK meant to be tightening sanctions on Russia, not loosening them?
The situation becomes even more perverse in light of another recent government announcement. In the King’s Speech, Labour set out plans to make it unlawful for ministers to grant new oil and gas licenses in the North Sea. At the same time Britain is refusing to drill and refine its own copious reserves of oil, it is importing it from Russia. Starmer and the Labour Party, despite their bravado over Ukraine, are literally lining Vladimir Putin’s pockets while destroying domestic production.
The consequences go far beyond national embarrassment and economic sabotage. It also carries major ramifications at the strategic level. The Royal United Services Institute estimates that loosening restrictions on Russian-linked fuel could be worth around one billion US dollars to Putin’s war machine. But the greater damage is the signal it sends. Britain has spent four years saying it will help choke the revenues funding Russia’s invasion. Now it is retreating because it lacks the domestic fuel resilience to sustain its own position.
Sanctions are only as strong as the industrial base behind them, and deterrence only works if hostile powers believe you can absorb pressure. Moscow will see that Britain can be pushed into compromise when energy markets tighten. Beijing will see it too. The message for them is obvious: apply pressure to the right supply chain, and Britain’s foreign policy starts to bend.
The lesson from this humiliating situation is that policy must treat the world as it is, not as officials and Ed Miliband would like it to be. The statutory Net Zero target – an 81 per cent reduction in fossil fuels by 2035, and entirely fossil fuel-free by 2050 – is patently incompatible with the wider geopolitical context. It must be scrapped. Britain will still need oil, gas and refined products for decades.
The hard truth is that ministers had little choice but to go begging for Putin’s oil. The war in Iran and tight fuel markets have created real risks. These fuels are existential necessities. Agriculture, haulage, shipping, aviation and the armed forces all depend on them. Farm machinery remains overwhelmingly diesel-powered. Defence platforms such as the F-35 and the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers are built around them and will rely on them until the 2070s.
Why has Britain no ability to withstand global economic pressure? The answer is two decades of self-destructive energy policy, driven by a desire to be seen as climate leaders. Britain’s fuel vulnerability did not begin in Iran or Ukraine. The ultimate cause lies with successive governments allowing the domestic energy and refining base to decline, because it flatters our domestic carbon emissions target.
At the turn of the century, Britain had 12 refineries, nearly half the number it had in the 1970s. In 2010, the number stood at eight. After Grangemouth and Lindsey collapsed last year, Britain now has just four major operational refineries. UK refinery output has fallen from around 1.8 to 1.9million barrels per day in the early 2000s to nearer one million by 2025. Yet, over the same period, our demand for oil and fossil fuels has continued – and will continue – to rise.
The problems we are seeing today were first flagged in 2009, when Gordon Brown’s Labour government published its independent energy-security review. The report was written by Malcolm Wicks, a respected former minister under Tony Blair. In his final document, Wicks accepted the climate agenda. But he also accepted that Britain would still need hydrocarbons for decades. He warned that the UK was moving from relative energy independence to greater import dependence just as global competition for energy was set to intensify. Wicks was right.
Unfortunately, from 2010 onwards, Conservative governments, aided and abetted by the Liberal Democrats in coalition and the Labour Party in opposition, did the opposite of what prudence and the national interest required. They doubled down on Net Zero, accelerated the deindustrialisation of Britain, and deepened our dependency on foreign fossil fuels rather than cultivating our own.
This approach has been catastrophic, but there is a simple way out of it. Britain should maximise domestic oil and gas production, treat refineries as strategic assets, maintain oil stocks and downstream infrastructure, and cut unnecessary costs on essential industry. The alternative is what we are seeing now.
Net Zero is indefensible. It devastates our economy and strengthens our enemies. It must be scrapped.

A correction and apology regarding Reform councillor David Barker
On 8 May, the Canary published an article entitled “Sunderland Reform councillor David Barker allegedly beat up his girlfriend and abused child”.
The piece incorrectly stated that Barker was the same individual who was given a suspended sentence in 2019 at South Tyneside magistrates’ court for assault and causing actual bodily harm to his girlfriend.
The Canary published this based on information it had at that time. Since then, Barker has reached out to us and provided information categorically showing that he is not the same man who was sentenced in 2019.
The Canary would like to unreservedly apologise to Barker, his family, and friends, for the distress and damage that our article caused. We are committed to ensuring that our publication consistently achieves the highest levels of factual accuracy. However, on this occasion, the information we were provided proved to be inaccurate. We took immediate action to remove the article and investigate.
To confirm: Reform councillor David Barker is not the same David Barker who was convicted in 2019. We have permanently removed all content related to this and will ensure that any future information published about him is accurate.
