BRITISH “humanitarian” charities are riddled with far-left activists and must be investigated, politicians demanded last night. Senior Labour and Tory MPs warned of a rise in excessive woke activism in the third sector, which risks breaking rules around neutrality.

So-called humanitarian charities are awarded millions in taxpayer cash every year to carry out aid work for the government. But MPs say organisations have become increasingly politicised and hostile to both law-and-order policies and Israel. This week Save the Children UK was forced to apologise after a manager delivered an unhinged rant on TikTok, claiming Jewish bagel stores are owned by “genocidal maniacs”.

The member of staff also asked for food recommendations that don’t have a connection to Israel, which they referred to as “that hellhole place”. Meanwhile, Oxfam, whose CEO wanted to be a parliamentary candidate under Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour leadership, released a report declaring Western states must pay India $5 trillion every year as reparations for colonialism and climate change.
The report calls for the “Global North” to dismantle its “dominance of the global economy in all forms”. Esteemed historian and pal of King Charles, Simon Seabag Montefoire, described the Save the Children bagel “buffoonery” as an example of “many ex ‘charities’ have degenerated from noble humanitarian work for all children in peril to narrow ideological activism and inaccurate bigoted biased political campaigns”.
