UK: Labour Pays Tribute – 3 Hunger-Strikers Stop [Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi & Lewie Chiaramello], 1 Hunger-Striker [Brave Umar Khalid] Re-Assumes – the Battle Against Israeli-Genocide Continues! (16.1.2026)

They also raised concerns about the treatment of hunger strikers in detention, citing delayed medical care, excessive restraints during hospitalization, denial of family and legal contact and insufficient independent medical oversight.

Labour Party lawmaker John McDonnell said the hunger strikers have also secured meetings with prison officials about their health and conditions, following the news.

“I pay tribute to the dedication of the hunger strikers,” he said on the US social media company X.

Palestine Action was banned in July under the Terrorism Act after members of the group entered a Royal Air Force base and spray painted two aircraft, causing £7 million ($9.44 million) in damage, according to police. Hundreds of pro-Palestine activists have since been arrested across the UK.

UK: European Human Rights Court Questions UK Decision to Strip Shamima Begum of Citizenship! (16.1.2026)

This has left the right and far-right calling for the UK to leave the EHRC and stop completely all Socialist redistributing mechanisms – on top of banning all migrants. As and when the far-right attain political power – further vulnerable groups (such as the Disabled) would be attacked. Now, bear in-mind that right-wing UK governments have brought-in hundreds of thousands of Neo-Nazi Ukrainians and Hong Kong Rioters using EHRC legislation in recent years – whilst a single “Hindu” Tory Minister in one of those governments decided to withdraw the citizenship of a 15-year old British Muslim girl who was sex trafficked to ISIS in Syria. The right-wing and far-right not only want to withdraw from the EHRC to prevent the application of Socialistic redistribution – but it also wants to prevent the rescuing of a sex-trafficked British girl simply on the grounds that her skin is not White! The silence from the left and far-left is deafening.

Iran: Reuters Claim “Chinese Domestic Firms Barred from Using US, Israeli Cybersecurity Software Amid ‘Security Concerns'” – But is it True? (15.1.2026)

Initially, I came across this article on Press TV via Telegram – but found that Google is “banning” Iranian media – whilst the US and Israel attempt a violent overthrow of the Iranian government. Instead, I had to open the below article via the Microsoft search-engine. Whether wordpress shadow-bans or ghosts this article is anyone’s guess. I have checked the Mainland Chinese-language “Baidu” search-engine for confirmation of this original “Reuters” article – and could not find any reference. Therefore, I would tread carefully. Reuters, just like all the Western news outlets are controlled by the bourgeois establishment and loyally does its (pro-capitalist) bidding. On the other hand, China, like any country, routinely exercises its right to self-defence – just as Iran is doing now.

Bourgeois "Dishonesty" is "Weighed" - and Found Wanting!

UK: An Interesting Example of the “Internal Machinations” of the Bourgeois Legal System! (14.1.2026)

The first was a probate sale which wrongly completed before the grant of probate had been received. Around three weeks later, the buyer’s solicitor emailed the pair, threatening to report Mackrell to the SRA if the signed transfer form was not received soon after.

Just under an hour later, Ms Lakhani responded to say that the signed contract and transfer had been mistakenly sent to another firm and lost in the post, and there had been IT issues within the firm. This was not true.

The deed was eventually sent a few weeks later, after the grant of probate was made.

In her defence, the paralegal accused Ms Tappin of drafting the email – but Ms Tappin’s evidence was that, after being shown the email, she had told Ms Lakhani not to send it and wait for instructions from the head of department.

The SDT said it found Ms Tappin to be a “broadly credible witness”. It explained: “She accepted a significant failing in relation to supervision and document checking and her concessions were made without any apparent evasion.”
