US removes all bombers from RAF Fairford base

The US has withdrawn all of its bombers from RAF Fairford, the UK military base at the centre of an incident being investigated by counter-terror police.

A statement from a Pentagon official confirmed on Sunday it had removed its bombers – thought to be about a dozen B-1s – from the base back to their home stations in America.

US media reported a new threat led to the bombers being removed, which follows a major incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three “suspicious vehicles” near the airbase.


Everyone arrested has been released. One of the “Terrorists” called 999 themselves.

Moderate new Muslim group aims to broaden dialogue beyond certain ‘politically charged issues’

There are roughly two million Muslims in Canada. But they don’t see themselves in conversations being held in their name in Ottawa, says a leader of the new Muslim Policy Institute (MPI).

The MPI, launched this month, is dedicated to including Canadian Muslims in the dialogue that shapes policy about how they live.

More than 400 schools in France to be closed on Monday as more protests planned

More than 400 schools in France to be closed on Monday as more protests planned

More than 400 schools in France will be closed or partly closed on Monday as authorities brace for another week of student protests.

Lessons will be totally or partly suspended in 400 to 500 schools because security conditions “have not been fulfilled”, the education minister, Édouard Geffray, said on Sunday.

The minister said 24 schools had been burnt or ransacked and 78 education staff members injured. The number of school closures on Monday would be comparable to Friday’s but the government envisaged a “partial, progressive return to lessons”, said Geffray.

Canada urged to keep ‘eyes wide open’ on espionage

Canada urged to keep ‘eyes wide open’ on espionage

OTTAWA – Espionage is a deadly serious and generally misunderstood business, and it’s critical for Canadian politicians thinking about starting a foreign spy service to decide “with their eyes wide open,” a new study says.

“Virtually no Canadian knows how espionage is actually done,” says the paper by former Canadian intelligence officials Alan Barnes and Geoff St. John.

“Romantic, facile notions predominate. Those bemused — or deceived — by the fictions of page and screen would benefit by learning how espionage is really done.”

The Greens are now the most openly racist mainstream party in British history

The Greens are now the most openly racist mainstream party in British history

I’m glad that the pretence that the Left aren’t Jew-haters is over. They can no longer bother with the crying that it was just Netanyahu they despised. Or just “the genocide” they abhorred.

The full-throated support for the Green Party’s motion that “Zionism is Racism” is them showing how much they hate Jews with their chests out.

They are proud of it. Yes, they are proud of their nasty anti-Semitism. So sickening. But at least there is now sunlight on their obsession. No two-state solution for this lot: nothing less than the eradication of Israel “by any means necessary”. Self determination for the Palestinians but not for the Jews.


Not far separated from our own Liberal and NDP parties.

GUNTER: Despite Carney’s claims, Canada’s immigration numbers largely unchanged

GUNTER: Despite Carney’s claims, Canada’s immigration numbers largely unchanged

Earlier this year, Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government announced — or rather boasted — that they had brought immigration under control after the open-floodgate Trudeau years. In 2025 the national population, they claimed, shrank by 102,000 people, the first decline since Confederation.

Shipping container village hailed as a ‘dream for all homeless people’ is making life a ‘living hell’ for neighbours

Shipping container village hailed as a ‘dream for all homeless people’ is making life a ‘living hell’ for neighbours

Shipping containers being used to house the homeless are at risk of being torn down, as neighbours and residents describe the site as a ‘complete hellhole’.

The ‘pod’-based accommodation – built out of colourful shipping containers – drew national headlines when it was first built in 2021.

But despite originally being described as a ‘dream for all homeless people’, the site has suffered major problems over the past five years.

Joel Kotkin: Hating Trump is natural. Destroying Canada’s future to get back at him is borderline insane

Joel Kotkin: Hating Trump is natural. Destroying Canada’s future to get back at him is borderline insane

Donald Trump has clearly gotten into the heads of Canadians, leading the country towards a near insane alliance with a stagnating Europe and the Chinese authoritarian super state. This is a bad idea. Trump may strut like a would-be dictator, but he will be gone in two years and his imprint, if anything, will bring on a government that, if anything, will be much closer to Canadian values and norms.

MORGAN: Mark Carney’s mass immigration obsession will turn Canada into the EU

MORGAN: Mark Carney’s mass immigration obsession will turn Canada into the EU

Prime Minister Mark Carney recently told the New York Times that Canada’s immigration system is finally “under control.” He feels it’s time for Ottawa to resume a “controlled increase” in the population. “That will happen,” he said. “It’s the nature of Canada.”


The pause is over because Carney needs mass immigration to juice the economy’s numbers.

Three U.S. carriers, a chokepoint standoff, and Iran

Three U.S. carriers, a chokepoint standoff, and Iran

The massive surge of three American aircraft carrier strike groups and ten thousand additional troops into the Persian Gulf is being framed as an unyielding display of military resolve. Yet the reality in Washington is governed as much by electoral calendars as by naval doctrine. The White House’s explicit rejection of Tehran’s latest proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for immediate sanctions relief highlights a deliberate strategy: hold the line through the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, maintain maximum economic pressure, and defer high-risk kinetic operations.

Friends of the Earth chief: Palestine is a climate justice issue

Friends of the Earth chief: Palestine is a climate justice issue

Asad Rehman, the Chief Executive of the environmental charity Friends of the Earth, has said that “Palestine is and has always been a climate justice issue.”

Speaking at a fringe event at the Green conference in Brighton on Saturday afternoon, Rehman claimed that understanding climate change is an “anti-colonial project” and that questions around climate justice “are the same ones facing the Palestinian people”. He also suggested that Palestine was an example of “fossil fuel colonialism because resources have always been central to the colonial project.”
