LONDON – The Youth Equality Coalition (YEC) has announced a searing new podcast series titled “Tony Blair: Legacy of a War Criminal”, which will confront the bloody truth behind Britain’s role in the Iraq War and the former Prime Minister’s enduring impunity. The series will air as part of Youth Now, YEC’s flagship podcast platform, launching in full in two months.

While political elites polish Blair’s image for the history books, a new generation is refusing to forget — or forgive — the crimes committed under the guise of democracy and diplomacy.

Pearson Engineering’s factory on Scotswood Road in Newcastle is a crucial part of the industrial machinery that enables Israel’s ongoing military assaults on Palestinians in Gaza. Fully owned by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems—the Israeli state weapons manufacturer—Pearson produces critical components for military vehicles and weapon systems that are actively used in attacks resulting in widespread destruction and civilian deaths.

The factory manufactures turret structures, armoured vehicle modules, and the SAMSON 30mm Remote Weapon Station, which integrates lethal Spike anti-tank missiles and Trophy active protection systems. These weapons are not abstract military tools; they have been repeatedly deployed in Gaza’s urban warfare, where Israeli forces conduct operations that international human rights organizations have condemned as war crimes and acts of genocide.

During a recent live interview with members of Germany’s far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), protesters dramatically disrupted the broadcast, forcing the interview off-air and demanding accountability for the party’s racist and xenophobic agenda.

The AfD, known for its ultra-nationalist and anti-immigrant positions, was granted a platform to spread its divisive rhetoric. But as the party spokespeople began speaking, a group of determined activists loudly interrupted, chanting slogans condemning hate speech and systemic racism. Their bold action exposed how far-right politicians continue to embolden hate and threaten marginalized communities across Europe.

The protestors’ intervention was not only a rejection of the AfD’s ideology but a challenge to media outlets that normalize far-right narratives by giving them airtime without sufficient scrutiny. The disruption sparked a wider conversation about the responsibility of broadcasters to hold such groups accountable rather than amplify their harmful messages.

In a shock to Westminster’s political establishment, the Labour Party has found itself deadlocked in the latest national polls with a political entity so new, so amorphous, that it hasn’t even settled on a name.

According to polling released today by OpenVote, Labour stands at 28% — tied with “Unnamed Populist Party,” a placeholder label for a coalition of anti-establishment figures, community organisers, and digital insurgents who have yet to formalise their movement.

This is no ordinary polling anomaly. It is a stark warning. Labour — once the vessel of working-class hopes — is now indistinguishable, to many, from a party that literally does not yet exist.
