The caretaker PM is running scared and resorting to more smears because he knows the game is up.

Labour is sinking in Gorton and Denton and it’s left to the Greens to challenge the far right threat of Reform.

To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?

The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.

No. If you're seriously asking, at this stage, whether perpetual growth in a finite system can be 'decoupled' from damage to the planet, then you are personifying the answer with your question.

No.

Epstein’s pedophile ring was just the honey.

I am not blind to the awful abuses, but the story is surely way bigger.

Epstein was an intermediary & facilitator. His honey got marks (flies) in the web.

But who wove the web, and why?

Who is the spider? That is the real story.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Remember the reports of Palestine Action activists swinging a sledgehammer at security guards? It didn't happen.

This is the 'evidence' Starmer used to label the group terrorist. This is why you can get 14 years in prison just for holding a placard supporting them.
