Satirical candidate Count Binface has emerged as Reform’s most prominent opponent in Clacton. His popularity reflects a deep disillusionment with the farce of Westminster politics and all its racists, thieves, and warmongers. We say, bin the lot!

There is a historic movement underway in Azad Kashmir. Despite brutal repression and slander by the Pakistani state, the people of Kashmir have shown their incredible resolve and power. Today is the beginning of the long march. Power is in their hands, but it must be concretised!

Donald Trump has restarted war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz has effectively been shut again with potentially far deeper repercussions this time around. Trump has no good options, and US imperialism is once again dragging the whole world down into barbarism.
