SOLOMON HUGHES recommends Sunjeev Sahota’s recent novel set in a trade union election campaign for its fresh approach to what unites and divides workers, but wishes the union backdrop was truer to life
ANDREW FEINSTEIN, who is challenging Keir Starmer as an independent in the Labour leader’s Holborn and St Pancras constituency, called his opponent’s comments about the British Bangladeshi community “disgusting” during a campaign stop on Thursday.
“He decided for unfathomable reasons to target the Bangladeshi community and Bangladeshi people,” said Feinstein. Starmer’s remarks, he added, were another symptom of “just how reactionary Keir Starmer’s Labour Party have become.”
During a televised interview with The Sun on Monday, Starmer boasted that “on the first few days in government” he would start putting migrants on planes back to their countries of origin.

Starmer’s decision to recognise Palestine only as long as Israel continues to massacre its inhabitants has been met with outrage, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
Despite declining to show Kneecap’s set, the BBC broadcast Bob Vylan leading a ‘death to the IDF’ chant — and the resulting outrage has only amplified the very message the Establishment wanted silenced, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
It’s where she was looked after and loved by workers who don’t deserve Starmer’s ugly condemnation, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
