@TheCanaryUK @LeftieStats Neither Jeremy nor Your Party has endorsed these candidates. Any suggestion otherwise should be immediately corrected. No permission has been given for Jeremy’s name to be used on any individual candidate’s leaflet.

FYI: @thisisyourparty, and anyone else calling @TheCanaryUK liars...this is @jeremycorbyn endorsing the Walsall independent candidates. So just stop it..., seriously!!! We are activists and journalists who report the truth, whether it is popular or not. And here is the proof!



I hate, hate, hate that this has happened to the Canary, “Suggests” “implies;” This is the language red top rags use before implying gossip is fact. This used to be my go-to publication. I hope they find their way back.


Hi @MrTopple I’m asking this in the spirit of transparency that @TheCanaryUK has always championed, not to provoke or accuse. Over recent months I (and others) have noticed subtle editorial shifts - framing choices, missing context, and a growing emphasis on factional lines. I’m not alleging “capture,” but these changes appear to coincide with the August 2025 restructuring in which Cecil Robert Hetherington, via Ulidia Investments Ltd, acquired a significant shareholding and a board seat. Given The Canary’s proud history of demanding openness from its previous directors, it would help restore confidence if the current team could clarify: • the exact shareholding now held by Ulidia Investments Ltd; • the amount invested; • any formal or informal influence the new investor has on editorial or staffing decisions; • why the board considered it appropriate to accept a material investment from someone without a socialist or journalistic track record; • whether the original worker co-operative model and its decision-making processes remain intact; • whether there is still a written editorial charter guaranteeing independence from shareholders and directors; • who now appoints or dismisses editors and signs off commissioning budgets; • whether any editorial oversight or vetting committee has been created since the merger with Skwawkbox; • whether there have been any editorial departures or new senior hires since August 2025; and • who now holds final editorial sign-off for politically sensitive pieces. These are straightforward governance questions, not accusations. Many of us value The Canary’s role in the left independent-media ecosystem and simply want reassurance that its editorial independence remains protected. Clear, factual disclosure on these points would demonstrate the same accountability you demanded of previous directors - and would reassure readers that The Canary and Skwawkbox remain genuinely independent and rooted in the socialist principles that built their audience.







LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty and Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland discuss how tough life is for Israelis. “It’s the blitz… it’s very difficult to imagine… waking up the children to go to an underground shelter…” Words fail me.

SCOOP: Earlier this month, Redbridge council – a Labour stronghold – told Rosa Gomez it had removed her from her seat for not attending meetings. But why hadn’t she? The answer will shock even the most jaded Labour observers 🧵
