THE rise of the far right in Britain and the fascistic takeover by the Trump regime in the US is due in part to the sycophancy of world leaders, argued Greek former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis.
Varoufakis was speaking alongside Jeremy Corbyn on Friday at a Westminster University event celebrating the life and legacy of former Labour Party minister and socialist, Tony Benn. Benn, who died 11 years ago, would have turned 100 on April 3.
The discussion was hosted by his daughter Melissa Benn and explored Benn’s inspirational leadership and commitment to working people, while centring his ideas and achievements in the context of current political events.
