I’ve had a busy summer. After the conclusion of a special project which has been in the works for years (be patient — it will be revealed soon!) I took a summer break — so this is the first newsletter-style roundup post I’ve done in a while.
For this Substack, I am planning on just reposting my articles published elsewhere here soon after they’re published online. That means subscribers to this Substack will get the full text of my articles published elsewhere straight into their email inbox. I’m likely to do away with these round-up style posts — or at least make them less frequent. That’s how things have worked out recently anyway.
The focus of this Substack is now more about original articles — for both paying and free subscribers. Those have always been the more popular posts with my readers.

The Forde Report was along awaited — you can read my analysis of it here. To me, the biggest takeaway was the fact that Forde admitted that the Labour right was guilty of “weaponising” anti-Semitism (even though he tried to impose an artificial “balance” on the situation). Yes of course that’s something we already knew, but it’s important that this has received recognition by a senior British lawyer.
A UK government lawyer admitted in court back in May that Israeli arms firm Elbit had been “forced” by Palestine Action protesters to sell their drone parts factory in Oldham. Read my full report with all the details here. Since that was published, it was also revealed that Elbit has closed down its London office. As Palestine Action supporters put it: two down, eight to go…
