Ecuador’s election wasn’t free — and its people will pay the price under President Noboa
We should be fighting the Tories, not each other
DIANE ABBOTT says a vicious government driving down pay, unleashing a public health crisis and waging war on refugees is being let off the hook by a Labour leadership fixated on purges and internal division

THIS government’s policies are severely damaging both the health and prosperity of people in this country. They are probably the most damaging policies inflicted by our own government in the last hundred years.
Vicious attacks on health and pay are supplemented by increased dog-whistle politics and threatening to undermine peace in Ireland.
It should not need saying, but now is the time for unity to oppose all these and other onslaughts. But it is clear many would prefer division, disunity and even expulsions.
