Rishi Sunak’s administration has this month announced plans to give judges additional powers to compel criminals to attend their sentencing hearings, even through the use of force. (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Mahdi Rtail)
Opinion

News from Nowhere: Use of Force

The UK urgently needs to tackle its culture of managerial complacency, indifference, and inaction in certain areas of the public healthcare system by displaying both moral conviction and political substance; sadly this is something it currently lacks.

The fact that anyone – let alone so many of our schoolchildren – is still going hungry as a result of economic deprivation in one of the world’s wealthiest nations is, of course, both a scandal and a disgrace.
Opinion

This is the state of the UK today: One of the richest countries in the world unable – or unwilling – to afford to feed or safely educate its children.

While her words and her name may soon be forgotten, many outside her party will doubtless hope that this will be her eventual legacy.
Opinion

News from Nowhere: Oh, Sir Keir!
Opinion

News from Nowhere: Oh, Sir Keir!

The optics of Sir Keir Starmer relaxing and joking on stage with Tony Blair won’t help to dispel his increasingly prevalent image as another resilience-lacking politician who favors style over substance.

Opinion

News from Nowhere: Blue is the Color

Britain’s Prime Minister Rishie Sunak tweeted, conflating the Labour Party with “a subset of lawyers” and “criminal gangs.”

Do their media stunts persuade members of the general public to change their lifestyles or their political allegiances?
Opinion

News from Nowhere: Death Watch
