British Left-Wing Media Outlet ‘The Canary’ Has Announced It Is Officially Closing After 11 Years Of Journalism
The platform was de-banked by Lloyds Bank & later announced a second account with Metro Bank was also frozen. A major attack was launched against the platform, which The Canary said made continuing to operate untenable.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) condemned the move by Lloyds Bank as a “disturbing precedent for UK press freedom”. Online commentators have warned that the ability of the establishment to cripple media organisations critical of them creates a hostile environment that will pressure other news outlets to fall into line or face similar potential backlash.

Update:
Luckily, I got WordPress to restore the Classic option, so I can continue to publish here. However, that doesn’t alter my opinion about how upset I am about what’s happened to the WordPress Platform that I’ve been using for over 20 years!
I can no longer use WordPress as the Classic editor has been removed and in order to use this function, I now have to ‘upgrade’ my subscription in order to install the Classic Plugin.
WordPress wages war on its users by inexorable attrition of functions that used to be free.

Denying people healthcare harms us all. But, did you know that hospitals up and down the country are doing the Home Office’s dirty work: charging migrants thousands of pounds for healthcare and sharing their data with the Home Office. |

India built a system that lets anyone with a phone send money for free from one bank account to another. Walmart and Google own the apps most people use to access it, and they are about to start collecting on it. Visa and Mastercard want in. The United States government is pressing their case, and the Modi administration is clearing the way.

When it comes to racism and anti-racism, the past is seldom another country.
Resistance to the past traumas of violent racism, including far-right incursions into Asian neighbourhoods of Southall, Newham, Bradford, Rotherham etc, live on in the collective memory. And thanks to archives across the country, including the IRR’s Black History Collection and its digitisation of the CARF magazine, we also have documents and campaign literature that aid memory.

At a moment of war, debt, corporate power, and technological dependency, five Chinese proposals reopen a long-suppressed question: what institutions are needed to make peace, sovereignty, and development materially possible?

Friend, it’s been a massive 72 hours in the fight to kick Palantir out of our NHS:
Phew! Honestly, I’m exhausted Friend. We’ve thrown everything at this. And you know what? It’s working. Palantir is staggering. Floundering. On the back foot.But they haven’t lost yet. In fact, they’re desperately digging in: they’ve just hired a BIG Labour party insider to land the influence they simply cannot win in public. [2]We don’t know what’ll happen next. What curveball Palantir will throw. What new scandal will land in the news. What the Government’s final decision will be. Just that it’s coming in a matter of days. So, right now, we urgently need to build a rapid-response fund – a
war chest we can tap into at a moment’s notice. Simply put: we can’t afford to blink. So Friend, will you chip in now so we have the funds to stand up to Palantir? (Or if you’d prefer to donate by phone, call us on 020 7846 0093)
Thanks for everything you do, Matt, Olivia and the 38 Degrees team NOTES: |

The largest attack yet on Moscow, launched overnight Sept. 19-20 on the final day of Russia’s parliamentary election, was meant to show the Russian people that the war could reach their capital. Instead, it showed a U.S.-NATO war camp divided and cornered.
