Peter Mandelson has lit the fuse that will finally blow up the Starmer Labour leadership, although we don’t know quite yet how long the fuse is. Labour’s right wing – all those who were happy to be part of the same faction as Mandelson – are rushing to distance themelves with unseemly haste, from the biggest political scandal in half a century, around the now disgraced Labour grandee...If you enjo...

George Orwell’s dystoptian novel, 1984, had a Ministry of Truth which issued nothing but lies and misinformation. That description pretty much sums up the big majority of the billionaire-owned British media which has been foaming at the mouth this week over the supposed ‘left-wing’ bias of the BBC, when any objective analysis would indicate the exact opposite.

The first major elections since Donald Trump's re-entry into the White House were a major blow to him and his party. But the stunning result in New York was also a significant rebuke to the leadership of the Democratic Party, which, in the main, has put up little resistance to the challenge posed by Trump’s far-right agenda....If you enjoyed the video, please like and comment!

As this is being recorded, it looks possible, or even likely, that Donald Trump will give the go-ahead for the US to bomb Iran, thereby directly entering the war on the side of Israel. He may only be waiting while US military assets gather in the region. Even if the US does not bomb Iran, it will continue to arm Israel. Either way, there will be serious implications for the Middle East and US poli...

Most readers of Left Horizons and left activists are painfully aware of the details of the surge for Reform UK in the elections last Thursday.

The Government taking control of the Scunthorpe steel plant has once again exposes the sorry record of British capitalism.
