Riots and racism: why is the UK burning?

Claims of two-tier policing and uncontrolled immigration may not be borne out by the facts, but that has not stopped them being played up for political endsAs the people of Glengormley, on the northern edge of Belfast, tidied up and prepared for more violence in the midst of what has been described as a modern-day pogrom, a court 500 miles away in Southampton, on the south coast of England, started to deal with its own outbreak of thuggery.The trigger for this week’s riots in the Northern Irish capital had been the image of a black assailant who appeared to be stabbing and slashing his supine white victim in the face and neck while shouting in Arabic. The suspect was later revealed to be a refugee from Sudan.

It’s a Trumpian World Cup for racism and cynicism – why don’t those who condemned Qatar 2022 say so? | Jeremy Corbyn

We must highlight the awful stance of the White House towards so many competing nations, but also the hypocrisy of leaders who acquiesceOmar Artan was to be the at the World Cup finals. A Fifa-certified referee since 2018, Artan officiated at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2023 and was named the 2025 Confederation of African Football men’s referee of the year. Last weekend, as we know, Artan was denied entry to the United States at Miami international airport.The US has not officially given a reason for Artan’s ban, but we know that Somalia is one of the countries on Donald Trump’s travel ban list. After the news reverberated around the world, an administration source, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed the move came about because Artan had . But that claim, in the face of a furore, merits widespread scepticism. There is a word for this: racism.Jeremy Corbyn is the MP for Islington North and parliamentary leader of Your Party.

Gwyneth Paltrow is not so soppy after all

Like a great many others, my default position on post-Hollywood Gwyneth Paltrow was one of snorting derision, thanks to the ever-more outlandish things she hawked and promoted through her lifestyle business Goop. Jade “yoni” balls, vagina-scented candles, vampire repellent and a necklace that doubles as a vibrator are just some of them, while her adherence to a diet of seaweed and broth (before she became a voracious meat eater again) set an irritating example, to say the least.

Vancouver’s World Cup has come with a supercharged policing campaign, residents say

In the Downtown Eastside neighborhood nearby BC Place, advocates have noted tactics and displacement that are putting lives at risk.• | | On a brisk afternoon on 14 April 2026, Tyson Singh Kelsall was walking to work in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside when he noticed five people lying sedated in a line along the sidewalk on Main Street. They must have used the same poisoned supply, he thought. For Singh Kelsall, who has spent years working in harm reduction in the neighbourhood, this sight was all too familiar as Vancouver’s drug supply is increasingly contaminated with sedatives like benzodiazepines.But what he saw next made him stop. Arriving before an ambulance, Vancouver police worked their way down the row, yanking each person toward the building wall. None of the officers checked the people’s breathing or asked if they needed help. Once the people were dragged from the edge of the road, the officers left. Singh Kelsall trains people in overdose responses and knows that you should not roughly haul someone sedated by opioids mixed with benzos. You position them carefully, check their airway, and stay until help arrives.
