Left Unity Against austerity, racism/fascism, war, & Brexit. The welfare state is being torn apart by Tory austerity. The Lib Dems have been the Tories’ coalition stooges.

LU is ecosocialist and internationalist: For an ecologically-sustainable & socially-just world; feminism; fully-funded, publicly-provided NHS, Education & Social Services; workers’ rights & democracy. The NHS, benefits, the post, the fire service – nothing has been safe from their axe. And all the main parties have fuelled the rise of the right by trying to pin the blame on migrants. Labour, who should be standing up against all this, have failed again and again to do so. Under Jeremy Corbyn, the party appeared to be moving away from their centrist position however their future now looks uncertain. That is why the Left Unity party exists. Founded in November 2013, Left Unity already has around 2,000 members and 50 branches across the country. This is a new kind of party, with feminism, socialism, environmentalism and anti-racism at its heart. It’s a party that supports the campaigns and struggles of ordinary people, for public services, for equality, and for real democracy, and it is against all forms of discrimination. We say no one should have to choose between heating and eating, no one should have to pay for their healthcare or education – and everyone should have a roof over their head. It’s that simple.

In his new book, Twilight of American Imperialism, Jack Rasmus calculates the astounding rise in US government 'defence' spending and costs. According to his estimates, total US defense spending has more than doubled from 2019 at $1.5trn to a staggering $3trn next year.

I'll be interviewing Jack on my You Tube channel soon to discuss how much longer the US can afford to fund this war machine.

All India Students’ Association (AISA) president Neha has invoked the imagery of roses and spring to express hope for change, saying that those in power cannot permanently suppress resistance.

“The powerful can kill one, two, or 100 roses, but they’ll never stop the arrival of spring. India waits and prepares for spring,” Neha wrote.

The statement uses the metaphor of spring as a symbol of renewal and the possibility of change despite attempts to silence dissent. The imagery of roses being destroyed, but spring continuing to arrive, conveys the message that individual acts of resistance may be suppressed, but the broader desire for change can endure.

Neha’s remarks come amid continuing student activism and debates over dissent, democratic rights and the role of student organisations in India. The statement reflects a message of perseverance, suggesting that attempts to curb resistance cannot necessarily extinguish the aspirations that sustain it.

In decisive parliamentary elections in Israel, nothing was decided.

Despite a record voter turnout (78%), the two major political blocs: one led by incumbent prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and the other led by retired general Gadi Eisenkot, are virtually tied, with neither bloc obtaining a majority. The balance of power will be held by the Arab Israeli parties which gained a record high 19 seats. (Palestinians are 20% of the population). But neither major bloc will consider a pact with the Arab parties. So stalemate will ensue.

The Israeli economy has recorded a 3% real GDP growth rate this year, mainly driven tech investment in AI (20% of the economy), as American tech giants ploughed in funds to use skilled Israeli developers.

But the cost of the wars against the Palestinians in Gaza and Lebanon and against Iran have cost $115bn and Netanyahu wants to raise the defence budget further to 9% of GDP, up nearly three times since October 2023.

But many Israelis are more worried about the rising cost of living in a country that is among the most expensive in the OECD. Whichever coalition takes office will likely impose severe fiscal austerity measures in the next parliament.

What will not change is Israel's takeover of Gaza, Syria and Lebanon and its aim of regime change in Iran.
