One of my favourite anniversaries today: 4 October 1936, the Battle of Cable Street. Very pleased to write an article in the Morning Star about the people who were there, and the urgent tasks for anti-fascists here and now.

Starmer at the summit calling āillegalā migration the ādriver of global insecurityā. Continuing, instead of challenging the British Stateās shameful tradition of hostility to migrants and refugees. Boasting of Labourās record of deportations. Heās the Far-Rightās wet dream, and our nightmare.

This is very powerful. If the very right wing, pro-settler, UK Chief Rabbi (of the United Synagogue) reads it, he would/should be worried. Time for someone from the msm here to rise from their slumber, show it to him and ask for a comment. How about it?

This is where I will be on Saturday. The fragile ceasefire is welcome, as is the deal for returning Palestinians and Israelis from captivity. Ultimately though, there are no long term solutions except those based on justice, equality and freedom for all from war and occupation.

This statement is a wonderful form of collective action that shows that the authorities need to listen to a much wider range of voices in the Jewish community than those whose main aim is to shield Netanyahuās Government and the Israeli army from criticism.

Jean Marie Le Pen is dead. Associated Press describe him as āa polarizing figure in French politicsā. Way too generous. Call him a āHolocaust denying Naziā, and save 3 words. No sadness in his passing. But sad that several countries in Europe and beyond are lurching towards the far right.

āIt Canāt Happen Hereā could happenĀ here
Guy Standing suggests a bleak political outcome will result from Labour pursuing its current economic strategy. In 1935, Sinclair Lewis wrote a book entitled It Canāt Happen Here, warning that fascism in Europe could easily happen in the United States. His central character is a right-wing multi-millionaire, Buzz Windrip, who stands for President, whose speeches are uncanny precursors of Donald Trumpās.

A lesson in what happens if you elect a right-wing populist (aka a fascist) For nearly 40 years, Argentinaās poverty level had consistently hovered above 25 percent. But since the far-right Milei took office on December 10, 2023, that figure has skyrocketed.

Labour's latest attack on welfare is a disgraceful assault on the dignity of the sick and disabled. If the government really wanted to crack down on people "gaming the system", they would go after tax dodgers hoarding our country's wealth.

This needs to be said again, and again, and again: Israel's Kahanists are convinced that under Trump they have a clear path towards mass ethnic cleansing and the expulsion of most Palestinians out of Palestine. They will not let this opportunity pass by.
