More sadism from a dying empire. It's not a question of 'if' the US empire is going to collapse - two senile presidents in a row demonstrate that process is underway - it's more a question of how much damage the US inflicts on the world in its terminal death throws.

Starmer is toast. But the dark forces that brought him to power are as strong as ever

The political and media classes that once venerated Mandelson and are now cutting him adrift are the same ones that spent five years destroying Corbyn

The Met's disingenuous response to the court ruling today that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. They have conflated action against genocide & support for Palestinian community rights with anti-semitism. Such civil action has never been directed against the Jewish community.

If you don't want to be called "racist" for talking about immigration, don't do it like Brexity Jim

It's not "racist" to merely talk about immigration. This article is about immigration. However it is "racist" to use hyperbolic language and tell outright lies about the subject like Jim Ratcliffe did
