Britain’s Ministry of Defence made 49 official visits to Israel since 7 October 2023, averaging almost two trips a month during the Gaza war.

The figures were obtained through a freedom of information request by the charity Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) and shared exclusively with Declassified UK.

They reveal the scale of British engagement with Israel’s armed forces during their bombardment of Gaza, which a United Nations commission of inquiry has classed as a genocide. 

The number of visits is four times higher than previously disclosed in Ministry of Defence (MoD) transparency logs, which showed 12 visits by senior officials. 

They included engagements by Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, General Sir James Hockenhull and Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton.

Labour’s defence secretary John Healey also travelled to Israel during the war, meeting his counterpart Yoav Gallant months before he was indicted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes.....

BBC news has a long record of disinformation. But this time it chose the wrong target

The BBC’s now in a death loop: it grows ever more craven to the billionaires, shifting the political centre of gravity further rightwards, even as the billionaire-owned media claim it’s too ‘leftwing’

The BBC is in turmoil, its director-general and head of news forced to resign after a memo leaked to the Daily Telegraph highlighted editorial malpractice at the state broadcaster’s flagship news programme Panorama. The documentary had spliced together two separate clips of Donald Trump speaking on 6 January 2021, shortly before a riot at the Capitol building in Washington. The speech’s sentiments that day may not have been much misrepresented, but its contents technically were.

But Panorama, and the BBC more generally, have been exposed peddling far worse misinformation. In those cases, there have been precisely no consequences for such out-in-the-open journalistic abuses......

White House insiders knew of 2020 Venezuela coup in advance, files show

 Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed·November 12, 2025

 

Documents released by a federal court provide new and disturbing details of Trump associates’ attempt to orchestrate a coup against a government they clearly did not understand. This is an unprecedented look at the players and their plots – from terrorism to false flags – that may inform the looming US military assault on Venezuela.

The man the government blames for it all, Jordan Goudreau, provided evidence to The Grayzone that:

• He signed a $221 million contract with Venezuela’s Juan Guaidó as the US schemed in public and in private to designate him the legitimate president of the country.
• High-ranking Trump officials including Elliot Abrams, John Bolton, the top CIA official in Latin America, and a top NSC advisor appeared to know about his invasion plot, and may have been involved in its planning...................
