"Capital’s demands are increasingly incompatible with the needs of ordinary people. We are facing class war from above. The only way to respond is to strengthen people’s power to fight back."

"Inequality has traditionally been balanced by democratic rights: we are equal thanks to one person, one vote. That’s what we were taught at school, and there was a time when this theory bore some resemblance to the facts. It doesn’t today."

Peter Oborne on Reform's £72m donation
Keir Starmer had a chance to end a bent system, now being exploited by Reform, which allows the mega-rich to buy British politics. He blew it, and racism and Islamophobia are the result.

Billionaire Donors Are Poisoning British Politics – But There Is a Solution
Keir Starmer and Labour had a chance to end a bent system, now being exploited by Reform to allow the mega-rich to buy British politics. They blew it, and more racism and Islamophobia are the result.

Don’t Be Fooled By the UK’s Tough Talk on Israeli Settlements
Andy Burnham’s response to genocide does not go nearly far enough. He must target the Israeli state itself by imposing an arms embargo and sweeping sanctions, and bringing perpetrators to justice.

Yes, Labour Got It Wrong on Gaza. Now It Must Stop Attacking Those Who Got It Right
As two of the main organisers of the Palestine solidarity marches, we have witnessed a disturbing escalation of attacks on the right to peaceful protest. If Labour is truly sorry, it must reverse them

Terrible news. A judgement based on an ahistorical distinction between “good protesters” such as the suffragettes and “bad protesters” like Palestine Action. And what now for the 3.400 people (and counting) arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding signs opposing genocide?
BREAKING: Court of Appeal rules that Government’s proscription of Palestine Action lawful.

Meaning police likely to continue arresting pensioners holding cardboard placards & Huda is expected to appeal.
