Israel’s genocide in Gaza persists, while the war in Ukraine continues with no negotiated settlement in sight. As Europe rearms and Britain expands its nuclear capabilities, CAROL TURNER reviews the alternatives
IN the final days of the dirtiest British election campaign I can remember, the moment that Labour has been looking for has arrived.
The Prime Minister, whose lies have flowed constantly, whose mass deceptions have been faithfully promoted rather than challenged by a supposedly independent mainstream media who have conspired to protect Johnson from scrutiny as much as possible, was finally exposed by one journalist not prepared to obediently toe the line.
Johnson’s completely amoral attitude on the NHS — the key issue that Labour has been pushing on most strongly through the campaign — was revealed to millions when he disgracefully pocketed the journalist’s phone after refusing to look at the image of a four-year-old boy from Leeds with suspected pneumonia forced to sleep on the floor of the local hospital due to a lack of beds.
Starmer sabotaged Labour with his second referendum campaign, mobilising a liberal backlash that sincerely felt progressive ideals were at stake — but the EU was then and is now an entity Britain should have nothing to do with, explains NICK WRIGHT
With Reform UK surging and Labour determined not to offer anything different from the status quo, a clear opportunity opens for the left, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
