Livestreaming now: The Anarchist News Review! With Starmer threatening to police both how many protests we have and what we can say while doing them, what other Faragist measures might there be on the Labour Party docket for 2025? www.youtube.com/watch?v=NztA...

Protesters halted traffic entering the River Don site, standing in front of the gates with banners, chants and speeches denouncing the company’s complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, and continued turning cars and lorries away until 8am. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/08/p...

Since 2024 Palantir has supplied Israel with AI software which scrapes data gathered from the surveillance of Palestinians and places them in AI driven ‘kill chains’, further muddying the lines of accountability. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/08/p...

Since the election, anarchists and radical left organisations formed coalitions around common struggles. In 2025 anarchists have made attempts to resume the anti-government protests however, but have failed to reach beyond anarchist and radical left circles. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/08/f...

Coming up at 7.30pm tonight, the Anarchist News Review! We'll be talking about tail-end Toryism, Labour's apparent inability to stop behaving like the far-right it claims to be defending us against, and some of the stories Freedom News has covered this week. Follow us: www.youtube.com/@freedom9763

Yesterday's narrative of 7 October as ‘another 9/11’ – "yet another day torn free from any history or context" with only two sides – seeks to demonise all Palestine solidarity as "pro-terrorist." It is critical to understanding Britain's current crackdown on protest rights netpol.org/2025/10/06/a...

One of the biggest information gathering projects was called Belarusian Hajun, a Telegram channel with a bot to where people could send pictures. The project exploded, with over 30,000 information points sent in the first 45 days of the invasion. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/07/b...

When Todorov returned to Bulgaria, he participated in the first self-organised community space in the country—whose activists in 2013 managed to provoke a daily public assembly at the Eagles Bridge in the heart of Sofia. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/06/v...

We are witnessing one of the most serious disasters in the world. We’re talking about 80% of hospitals that are out of service. Half the population displaced, 90% suffering from hunger today in war zones" freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/06/w...

"If you’re absent from social and political struggles, people turn elsewhere. If you don’t represent a credible alternative to parties and the State, people look elsewhere for solutions. We must be on the front line of the social and class war every day.” freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/05/i...

Glad Labour's in charge to defend us against the far-right tendency to ban opposition and continually extend police powers repressing dissent. Can you imagine if Reform got in and used right-wing media shouting as an excuse to criminalise "repeated protests" it didn't like? Bullet dodged there ...

Having an excessive number of officers at SCs leads to boredom amongst them, and some begin to antagonise, provoke, and abuse those supposedly under their care. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/03/i...

The current status of the flotilla’s participants remains unclear, with communications cut off and no confirmation of where detainees have been taken. Israeli military sources released footage claiming to show detained activists receiving “humanitarian care”. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/02/g...

Livestreaming now, the Anarchist Review! All eyes are on the flotilla tonight, surrounded 70 miles offshore by IDF forces. At home Farage casts Starmer as a darling of the radical left, while Sir Keir kicks off another ID card attempt and Tories attack the ECHR ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU0U...

Livestreaming at 7.30pm, the Anarchist News Review! Was Starmer saying some negative things about Farage the nod we were all waiting for to begin the revolution? Is a centrist citzens database less Orwellian? Do we really need human rights laws anyway? Find out later! www.youtube.com/@freedom9763

The campaign is especially relevant after Starmer and Trump announced plans to open the UK to US tech corporations—widely seen as vulture capitalism. Companies are being promised reliable nuclear power for their data servers in post-industrial “sacrifice zones”. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/10/01/n...

Nigel Toadface thinks the radical left has been waiting for permission from Keir St ... *double checks notes* ... no, that is right, Keir Starmer. To physically attack Reform candiadates. Starmer. Seriously is there any weird US talking point which that rubberfaced toff won't shamelessly ape?

The Flaskô workers faced not only state repression, but also threats from mercenaries and militias. They fought almost alone, with only minor support from a small militant group, in one of the most dangerous metropolitan areas in Brazil. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/30/t...

Emma Watson's naively hopeful, very generous letter to bigoted auntie Rowling: ... (crickets) Billionaire J K Rowling's poisonous transphobic drivel accusing Emma Watson of being overprivileged:

In London, activists daubed graffiti and threw paint across the home of Barclays CEO Vimlesh Maru, after sending spoof invitations to neighbours for a “cocktail party” highlighting the bank’s role in “genocide and climate collapse”. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/29/b...

Your quick reminder that we're on the lookout for articles to put in the winter issue of our bi-annual journal, deadline's October 4th!

The Times today reports that Kemi Badenoch's planning to do away with not just that pesky human rights thingy that keeps getting in the way of treating refugees inhumanely ...

There’s a lot of history that I hadn’t read before, with fascinating information you won’t find very easily elsewhere---as well as interesting and anecdotal stories around different venues and different bands. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/28/s...

Really? "Anti-ICE"? Not even "1312" or "AFA"? It's almost as if some conscientious soul at the Beureau is working to show up the boss.

Chances for any real improvement to the rat and cockroach infested prison system have been totally diminished by the allocation of much needed funding to ever more new mega-prisons, whose structure prohibits humane treatment by design. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/26/t...

Twelve attacks have been recorded in the last five months in Brest by Street Press: “An escalation of violence, attributed to the same group, running amok”, according to the media. This commando particularly attacks targets identified as “antifa” or non-white. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/26/f...

Located between Aachen and Cologne, the Hambach coal mine is the largest in Europe. Run by the mega-corporation RWE, the toxic pit supplies the surrounding weapons factories with electricity, and pumps untold quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/26/g...

Today the Labour government is challenging the High Court ruling allowing Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori to seek a judicial review of the group's ban as a 'terror organisation'. Don't believe for a second that a new Home Secretary means a change of direction www.itv.com/watch/news/g...

Today the symbol of rebellion is the straw-hat pirate. But it is the fear of *amok masa*, the fear of anarchy itself, that declares to the world insurrection and revolution is still possible. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/25/b...

Dammit karma you had *one* job.

Disastrous flooding revealed the discrepancy between officially-reported financing and construction of flood-control projects, and the scale of the conspiracy between politicians, bureaucrats, and private contractors to plunder monies from them. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/21/a...

If we are serious about building transformative cultures which defy the norm, then it is essential that we learn to live more socially. It is simply a recognition that real change is going to require a level of compromise from individuals, as well as care from the collectives.

Gotta hand it to Corbyn and co. Both splitting and arguing over names is classic left-wing party behaviour, but splitting *before* you've decided on a name? Audacious.

The reaction of media and politicians to the assassination of Charlie Kirk epitomised the “Let’s all pull together” Pablum. MSNBC even sacked one of its senior political analysts for offering the necessary context of what this MAGA adjunct stands for. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/18/n...
