Burnham slammed for backing Starmer's war policy
In his first pronouncement on foreign policy and the military build-up, Mr Burnham emphasised backing for the continuing Ukraine conflict and support for the escalating arms bill. He also failed to mention Palestine or the crisis in Gaza at all in the article, which appeared in The Times, despite claiming he would be “guided by our values.” He also pledged to retain Jonathan Powell as national security adviser in No 10.

Could a new Jewish-Arab party split the anti-Netanyahu vote?
A Place for Us All, founded by activists from the grassroots movement Standing Together, says it aims to attract younger voters, women and politically disengaged Israelis who have lost faith in existing parties. Its founders have argued that the party can expand the electorate by bringing new voters into politics rather than drawing support away from existing opposition parties.

Iran fast-tracks 11 million barrels of oil as Trump threatens blockade
The vessels were dispatched immediately after a second day that US military strikes targeted civilian infrastructure like railway bridges, killing 14 people and injuring 78, leaving 47 in hospital, according to Iranian health ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour.

Mexico investigates whether US lied about role in capture of drug lord
“If recent reports are confirmed,” said the Mexico attorney general, Ernestina Godoy, on Wednesday, “then all signs point to three serious issues: a series of violations of Mexican and international law; a pact made outside the bounds of the law; and a lie told by a US diplomat, which would constitute a breach of the cornerstone principle of good faith in diplomatic relations.” “The issue here is whether there was a violation of sovereignty,” said the president, Claudia Sheinbaum, at a news conference on Thursday.

Milei’s allied governors open door to suspension of PASO primaries
The debate over the future of Argentina’s Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primaries, or PASO, has once again taken centre stage. The government is pushing for an electoral reform that would eliminate the primaries, but the bill has not yet been sent to Congress and is already causing friction between allied and opposition governors. Negotiations are now being led by newly installed Cabinet Chief Diego Santilli, who has been holding talks with provincial governors to gather the support needed before the bill reaches Congress.

In Ituri province, the hardest hit among the three provinces in eastern Congo affected by the outbreak, some of the health professionals and other front-line workers told The Associated Press they’ve not been paid their wages and bonuses since the outbreak was declared on May 15.

Furore in Nigeria over fake federal agency set up in government HQ
The fake agency came to light last October when Femi Gbajabiamila, the president’s chief of staff, wrote to the police alleging that his signature, along with official seals and reference numbers, had been forged by Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, who was claiming to have been appointed by the presidency to head the presidential foreign intervention promotion council (PFIPC).

‘Absolutely Unprecedented’: Trump Lackeys Crushing Efforts to Rein in Price-Hiking Corporate Mergers
Three unnamed sources told the outlet “that DOJ staff have privately complained that the Trump administration is essentially deciding not to enforce antitrust laws that are critical to keeping companies from becoming single-source providers and being able to charge enormous sums for their product or service.”

New Mexico accuses US Justice Department of impeding Epstein investigation
“Despite verbal assurances of cooperation from the USDOJ, access to the requested records has not been granted, no substantive response has been provided, and more than 130 days have now elapsed,” Torrez, a Democrat, wrote. “The [New Mexico Department of Justice] views this length of time as an unreasonable delay under any rule of reason.” The southwestern state reopened its investigation into Epstein in February, after the federal government released millions of files related to the convicted sex offender.

Who is behind the 'Muslim anti-BDS' campaign launching in the US?
The coalition says it seeks "to benefit Israel, its Arab citizens and Palestinians employed by Israeli companies", arguing that boycotts harm both Palestinians and Israelis. It also says it aims to raise at least $500,000 by encouraging 500,000 supporters to each contribute $1 by 9 October. The funds would be invested in Israeli treasury bonds and donated to four organisations: Sharaka, the Jerusalem Interfaith Centre, the Combat Antisemitism Movement, and Debate for Peace.

The hidden costs of low-tax states
States are not just competing over tax rates. They've built systems around which parts of the economy to tax — and which residents feel it most. States marketing themselves as low-tax havens often still collect heavily through shopping, gas, insurance, tourism and other transactions — while many blue and purple states rely more on wages, capital gains and corporate profits.

Communist Workers Platform USA (CWPUSA): How MAGA and “Progressivism” Obscure the Struggle for Socialism
In recent weeks, the Democratic Socialists of America has claimed a handful of electoral “victories.” In New York’s 7th and 13th Districts covering Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated the Democratic Party old guard in the primaries. In Colorado’s 1st District, Melat Kiros unseated 15-term incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette. These candidates have run on common platforms such as Medicare For All, Abolish Ice, Ending War, Housing for All, and Unions for All. As prices for rent, food, gas, insurance, and more continue to climb while wages stay low, and with jobs being few and far between, the workers of this country look for a way out. Daily stress from bills, debt, and harsh workplaces wears us down. Our families are more and more burdened by this week-to-week, day-to-day struggle. Meanwhile, the capitalist class throws a parade. The stock market reaches atmospheric heights, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire, billions more of our dollars are sent to fight wars against competing states, and impossible sums of money are poured into AI technology that the capitalists will use to surveil and displace us from work to their exclusive benefit. The situation is worsening. In the desperate grasp for a way out of this reality (worker’s daily reality within capitalism), the ruling class has developed two opposing and equally pernicious political options, both aimed at keeping capitalism alive and well.

Multinationals Sold Kenyan Farmers a Lethal Harvest
The word dawa, Swahili for “medicine,” threads through Francis Marete Mboroki’s speech as he describes the chemicals he spent decades spraying across his small farm on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya. They were sold as the tools of progress: modern seeds, bigger harvests, prosperity. Even as European and US regulators banned or restricted these chemicals at home, Mboroki kept spraying them, unaware they could be poisoning him. Today his doctors believe those pesticides caused the throat cancer slowly consuming his body. “If I knew these pesticides caused cancer, I wouldn’t have used them at all,” the seventy-nine-year-old says. “But no one ever informed me of the dangers.” A slight man with heavily calloused hands, Mboroki has farmed nearly his entire life. Before pesticides, he relied on indigenous pest-control methods passed down through generations: seeds stored in underground granaries lined with medicinal leaves, ash from cooking fires dusted over crops, manure used to nourish the soil. “The indigenous crops grew well,” he says softly, hands clasped in his lap. “We weren’t rich from them, but we always had enough. The food was nutritious.” Mboroki is now one of eighty-seven Kenyan farmers and farmworkers who have joined a landmark constitutional petition in Kenya’s courts. Many are battling cancers, respiratory illnesses, and neurological disorders they believe are tied to decades of pesticide exposure. The case represents the country’s first major legal challenge to the multinational corporations that continued marketing these chemicals in Kenya long after they were banned or restricted in their home countries. “We never imagined these chemicals could kill us like this,” Mboroki adds. “The people where they came from were protected from them. Here we are only discovering the danger after they already made us sick.”

The Left and Breaching Capitalism's Digital Fortress
The battle for socialist liberation in the twenty-first century cannot be fought with the weapons of the last century. In an era in which algorithms hold sway, in which the influence of artificial intelligence over media, culture, education, and labor continues to expand, and in which economic policies and strategies are formulated on the basis of big data and algorithmic analysis, the left finds itself confronted with an existential question: how can movements that still organize themselves according to traditional logic confront a digital capitalism that has become technologically advanced to an unprecedented degree? This text is not merely a call to develop tools; it is a call to transform organizational and intellectual consciousness toward a deep understanding of the nature of the digital battle. The gap in question is not simply a gap in "technical mastery"; it is a gap in grasping that digital space has become a class battlefield in which capitalism dominates, programs, and subjugates, while the left suffers from a diminished presence and the absence of a clear digital vision. Closing this gap is no longer a luxury; it is a condition for the survival of the left itself, since today's battle is waged in algorithms and networks just as much as it is waged on the ground. The struggle over technology is not a battle against science; it is a battle against the monopoly that dominant powers hold over it in order to boost their profits. Artificial intelligence should not be regarded as a threat in itself, but rather as a field of struggle whose features are shaped by the balance of social, political, and economic forces. Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented acceleration in the concentration of digital power within a limited number of giant corporations that control the infrastructure of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and global data, granting them economic, political, and cultural influence that at times surpasses the influence of numerous states.
