    Consequences of Apps for ID and in Health

    Friday, 17 April 2026 — No2ID

    This week, Phil joined Dr Marcus Baw on his ‘Everything Digital Health’ podcast to discuss ID cards, Healthcare and Privacy (amongst other things…)

    It covered a lot of ground, including consensual, safe and transparent use of patients’ data and what that means in practice – and also considered whether the good parts of NHS culture (as yesterday’s Westminster Hall debate laid out in detail, there are other not-so-good parts) might offer a model for more open, accountable digital government.

    It shakes my humanity to witness what people go through in the asylum system. Over the years we’ve seen a relentless cycle of scare tactics from politicians and media outlets designed to intimidate and harm migrant communities.

    Friday, 17 April 2026 — Jonathan Cook

    From Jimmy Savile to Peter Mandelson, Starmer has followed a trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance. He knows far more than he lets on. It’s the reason, after all, why he was knighted

    “Peace at any cost – Israeli style”: Why Netanyahu is pushing Trump toward war with Iran

    Friday, 17 April 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

    Muhammad Hamid ad-Din

    It was Israel that called the shots at the failed talks in Pakistan.

    The United States and Israel are losing the war in the Middle East

    While diplomats in Islamabad were trying to save the region from the brink, a clear signal came from Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem: the war must go on. For the Israeli prime minister, a ceasefire isn’t a respite – it’s a death sentence. And Donald Trump, surrounded by a family with deep roots in the Zionist movement, appears to have become a pawn in someone else’s game, the goal of which is to destroy Iran at any cost to satisfy Netanyahu.

    Colonial connections in policing: from Palestine solidarity to drugs enforcement

    Thursday, 16 April 2026 — Institute of Race Relations

    Anyone who doubts the intensity of political policing today should just read our calendar of racism and resistance, where the highly ideological attempt to counter and contain the Palestine solidarity movement is laid bare in reports of arrests, prosecutions, protest restrictions and the ‘cumulative disruption’ amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill.

    When The People Claim Their Own Hegemonic Project The Oligarchs & Courtier Class Act Swiftly

    Thursday, 16 April 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy

    Roger Boyd

    Gramsci saw a war of position, where the opposition to the capitalist oligarchy not only develops a parallel cultural project but also engages in a long-term process of gaining the support of the wider population and social institutions for the alternative cultural hegemonic project, as necessary in advanced bourgeois “democratic” societies. The problem is that the most class-conscious group in society is the capitalist oligarchy and if required it will rapidly move against any such threatening project; including whatever levels of coercion and violence are required.

    Mohamed Lamine KABA

    In their unjust, illegal, and criminal war against Iran, the United States and Israel have suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat. They now find themselves forced to comply with Iran’s demands, despite all the victory posturing and triumphalist rhetoric from the very first days of the war.

    Watch the video here

    A shockingly corrupted trial that exposes the British state’s weaponization of censorship and secrecy laws has just begun.

    The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal details how six activists from the direct action protest group Palestine Action face terrorism charges and the possibility of long prison terms – but the jury in the case is forbidden from knowing this.

    “We received direct threats while en route to Islamabad that our plane might be attacked

    Monday, 13 April 2026 — Al Mayadeen English

    In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi revealed that the Iranian delegation faced direct security threats while heading for negotiations with the United States in Islamabad, stating, “We received direct threats while en route to Islamabad that our plane might be attacked.”

    According to Marandi, “Tehran had prior intelligence indicating that the negotiating delegation would be targeted while en route to Islamabad.”

    He added that the delegation ultimately “returned from Islamabad via an alternative route after confirming that the delegation was under attack.”

    UK: Legal challenge to deregulation of “precision bred” GMOs

    A reminder that the High Court has confirmed that Beyond GM’s challenge to the Government’s deregulation of genetically modified “precision bred” organisms in food and farming will be heard at a rolled-up hearing over 12-13 May. This means the Court will consider, in one hearing, both whether the case should proceed and the substance of the legal arguments themselves. The hearing will be open to the public. Beyond GM says: “If you are in London and would like to attend for all or part of it, you are welcome. The proceedings are formal and the advocacy is technical, but there is something powerful about simply bearing witness. The courtroom number will be posted here, closer to the hearing date, under the London Administrative Court option.” GMWatch will be there! Beyond GM

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
