A massive crowd assembled in La Paz’s working class twin city, El Alto, to demand Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz resign Indigenous-led demonstrations come as the Bolivian regime was caught preparing to launch a US-backed operation to kidnap Evo Morales with 2,000+ troops & cops

Impresionante imagen de los mineros bolivianos protestando contra el gobierno de extrema derecha de Rodrigo Paz títere de los EEUU y los oligarcas de Bolivia.

@AaronBastani And..: why is he allowing Josh Simons to speak for him on the bbc politics show?

I personally find Burnham very affable, and I buy the argument he’s slightly shifted his politics since 2015. He’s clearly the best candidate to lead the party - and avoid oblivion. But I don’t believe he can clear the deep, extraordinary, unpleasant corruption in the party.

Sue Gray’s son (yes, he’s an MP - and yes, he joined Commons in 2024) being in the middle of this shot tells you a lot about the Labour Party. And why it might be broken for good. The worst things its rivals say about it - are mostly true.

Bolivian workers have seized the airport located near Evo Morales' residence (Chimoré airport), the runway has been occupied in order to stop US planes or helicopters from landing. Leaked docs (attached below) show US forces & Bolivian police have planned a raid to kidnap Evo.

These were children. #GazaHolocaust

@labourlewis @We_OwnIt Why is Josh Simons talking for Burnham he’s a snake

Looks like the ‘battle of ideas’ inside the Labour Party has taken a wee step towards us. We’re not there yet - but it’s coming, slowly but surely 😁 Water, energy, housing, health, education, higher education, adult social-care, transport… Remember, @We_OwnIt !

HOW TO BEAT REFORM: BY @BarnabyRaine Rather than dividing politics into “culture wars” versus “economic issues”, “class” versus “identity”, the left must craft a politics of material freedom that unites these domains: free time to care for our loved ones rather than endless toil; good homes and green spaces rather than dying or gentrifying neighbourhoods; community rather than isolation and exhaustion. That requires collective control over land and the increasingly automated sources of wealth. And it means seeing that the only sick culture destroying our society is the millennium-old predatory ethic of the British ruling class. As John Maynard Keynes saw in the ashes of war in 1918, the whole order of 19th-century Britain, with its bankers and colonial officers, had to come crashing down, and something different had to be planned. Now the whole West is in crisis while China marches on. In the ruins of Gaza, Western civilisation’s moral claims ring utterly hollow. Farage is not nearly radical enough: the civilisation he defends is on the way out, thankfully, and we must ask what to build in its place. newstatesman.com/symposium/2026…

@danielmgmoylan @davidyelland @adamboultonTABB We’re in a mess becssue of your party of parasitical scum

@davidyelland @adamboultonTABB And quite right too. If the British press had done a proper job scrutinising Labour before the 2024 election we might not be in this mess. But they got an easy ride, to journalism’s shame and our misery. Not this time, I hope.

If there’s one thing you should watch on the anniversary of the Nakba to understand the history of the creation of Israel, let it be this 20-minute video by the brilliant Mohammed Shehada. Drop everything and listen as he dismantles the foundational myths and allegations Israel has long used to justify some of the worst crimes in recent history.

'I Can See For Miles' was originally written in 1966, Pete Townshend was excited about this demo so much and saw it as a smash hit. The band released other singles in the meantime and held onto the track until 1967, where the single became The Who's highest chart in the US to date.

@DaleVince Jesus Dale read the room

I think it’s the worst thing Labour could do right now, there’s no reason to panic over some adverse polling less than two years into a ten year project - and some of what we’re seeing is more opportunism than panic - but if there is to be a leadership contest my first choice for the job would be Keir, that’s who I’ll back. The NHS has been battered for 14 years by Tory neglect and underfunding. Just as things are starting to turn a corner, Wes decides to walk away from a job he’s actually good at. Because he’s lost confidence apparently. Hard to square that with his talk of being proud to fight in the trenches with Keir at the general election. When the going gets tough and all that…... People around Ed Miliband have been briefing that he’s urged Keir to set a timetable to walk away - unhelpful enough to say it - worse to leak it to the press. Ed is seen as a potential contender, I’m not convinced. A few weeks ago,  he told the country he would finally break the link, the market mechanism that drives our energy bills sky-high in a crisis - the following week he announced the details and he did not break the link or even weaken it. Ed misled the country in my view and the Prime minister. Keir's top team should be standing behind him right now - and not with knives in their hands. How about some policy ideas? This whole leadership circus is a massive distraction from the job, not just at a time of global crisis but at a time when the people of Britain are making clear they want more change, they want to feel the change in their lives. The answer to that, some seem to think - is to have a new leader. That’s a delusion and often enough a conceit, sold to us on the premise it’s in the national interest or the party’s interest - when the truth is much closer to home. Labour has a job to do and a mandate to do it. Let’s get on with it.

@afneil No your continual defence of capitalism is tiresome

This is economic ignorance of a high degree, even for my old mate Diane. If you don’t want to be ‘dominated’ by the bond markets then don’t borrow £3 trillion from them. Be honest with the people and explain how your idea of socialism will entail EVERYBODY paying a shed load more in tax. If you can’t do that then you will be in hock to the bond markets. It’s as simple as that.

Someone just opened a pop-up in NYC displaying all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files. Walk in. Read. See for yourself.

@DanNeidle @owenjonesjourno @paulpowlesland What an utter idiot you are Dan, go after the rich and stop being an absolute bellend

@owenjonesjourno @paulpowlesland If it means people who are unlawfully not paying tax start paying tax then: yes If the law's unfair, advocate to change it. Nobody - whether men in white vans, Bernie Eccleston or boaters, gets to evade tax because they think it's unfair.

Across the country, thousands of boaters, mooring owners, public sector organisations like Canal & River Trust, & council valuation departments look on in despair as the mutually agreed upon fiction whereby residential moorings are treated as leisure moorings crumbles in the face of the media obsession to destroy Zack Polanski.

Israel is Raping Palestinians with Dogs: "The soldiers brought in several dogs, one of them urinated on me, one of the dogs then raped me, penetrating my anus in a trained manner when I was being beaten"

@JeremyVineOn5 @emilyhewertson @MatthewStadlen Stop spreading lies this isn’t true at all

"If you look at London, for example, 50% of social housing is foreign nationals, and I don't think that's fair." @emilyhewertson suggests a Brits first approach to benefits and housing, but @MatthewStadlen says this would create a "two-tier society". #StormandAlexis

@DanNeidle @paulpowlesland Well we know you’re endorsed by Luke Akhurst Dan, so I wouldn’t gloat we know what that says about you

@paulpowlesland Wrong way round. People are residing at leisure moorings, and convincing themselves there’s no council tax Can confirm I’m part of the media obsession to destroy Polanski, Tice, Rayner and Starmer.

@Victoria_Spratt @Kwajotweneboa It’s a huge challenge for party’s wedded to capitalism which is all of them

This about Keir Starmer’s premiership but it is also about… - a housing crisis that was allowed to fester for decades - wages that didn’t really recover after 2008 - Brexit fallout - Covid fallout £ It would be a huge challenge for any politician, regardless of party. The problem is that, at times, this Labour government has said they are putting their foot on the gas while pumping the break, leaving people confused about their policies and solutions … - NIC hike for employers and frozen tax thresholds… - build baby build but never specified how many social homes… - leasehold reform but not yet… And, now, whatever is happening is wildly chaotic

@JoanneMcCartney @SadiqKhan How can you seriously argue this when London housing costs are impoverishing people, stopping them from having kids and completely out of control with pitiful amounts of council housing being built
