Lee Brown explains how Ecuador’s election wasn’t free — and its people will pay the price under President Noboa
Labour should have no illusions in the EU
The successful vote to leave the European Union was working class and anti-capitalist – we must stand by it, insists ROBERT GRIFFITHS

PAUL SWEENEY MP urges the Labour left to present a “united front” on the issue of Brexit (M Star April 11).
The price he demands for such unity is the total capitulation of Leave supporters and even Remain Eurosceptics to a catalogue of illusions about the character of the EU and the prospects for reforming it.
He prefaces his argument with the claim that pro-Leavers are portraying most Labour Party Remainers as “neoliberals” who long for the pre-2016 era of triangulation and membership passivity.
