All the evidence shows voters want Labour to shift to the left — but initial signs from Andy Burnham are worrying on that front, cautions DIANE ABBOTT
THIS Saturday, activists from across the country are coming together for an emergency day of action, calling on our political leaders to step back from the nuclear brink and work to secure peace talks in Ukraine.
A majority of Ukrainians now urgently want a peace settlement, yet Britain is continuing to recklessly escalate the conflict there.
Starmer’s decision to follow Biden and allow Ukraine to fire its long-range missiles into Russia has precipitated a rapid and dangerous escalation. These missiles can only be targeted using US GPS technology, which means that the US is decisively participating in the conflict.
Expanding Britain’s nuclear capability increases the risk of nuclear confrontation. It does not keep us safe – it makes us a target, argues CAROL TURNER
The defence secretary’s resignation reveals not a split over principle but a dispute over pace of military spending, as Britain’s political Establishment unites behind deeper Nato commitments, argues NICK WRIGHT
Washington plays innocent bystander while pouring weapons and intelligence into Ukraine, just as it enables the Gaza genocide — but every US escalation leaves Ukraine weaker than the neutrality deal rejected in 2022, argue MEDEA BENJAMIN and NICOLAS JS DAVIES
