Who is driving the war in the Middle East?
BY JOHN CLARKE The attack on Iran has added considerably to the scale on which a current of left opinion has gone over to the notion that Israel is the driving force when it comes to conflict in the Middle East and that the US is being led by the nose. This is a false picture but there is no question that there are elements of the present situation that it is able to draw on. There is actually … [Read more...]

THE FRENCH MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

It has also become almost a cliché that Trump’s dead ends are largely due to the … [Read more...]
ESCALATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST
WIN meeting March 2026. See it HERE.

Looming World Supply Crisis – The Left Must Mobilise
by Kevin Ovenden Soaring oil and gas prices, plus the loss of fertilizer supply (which is of course time sensitive) have yet to work their way through the global economy. But already we see the hit everywhere. It will get worse. The question is only by how much. And we can add in the effects of climate chaos upon agricultural production and the declining insurability of properties and … [Read more...]
Trump’s Hobson’s choice
From the blog of MICHAEL ROBERTS Today the crude oil topped $95 per barrel, despite the International Energy Agency (IEA) approving its largest-ever release of emergency oil reserves, with member states set to release 400 million barrels. That had little effect on the oil price because Iraq had to halt operations at its oil terminals after two oil tankers were targeted in Iraqi waters. The … [Read more...]
Trump’s Greatest Blunder?
by John Clarke While there is great uncertainty about how things will play out, there is a great possibility that Trump's war of choice against Iran is going to result in a humiliating defeat for US imperialism.
