The documentary Oh Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie has been drawing sizeable crowds to ticket-only showings and is now slated to be shown at Glastonbury.. I hope the festival thinks again.

Even Ukrainian workers are fighting for their own rights – that’s the point of union solidarity.
Britain’s current wave of strikes, according to Nadhim Zahawi, chairman of the Tory party, is “exactly what Putin wants to see”. He accused nurses of playing into the Russian dictator’s hands by (...)

Morning Star writer Ian Sinclair reckons he’s uncovered “the top under-reported story of 2022 ... the news the British government worked to prevent a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine war in March-April 2022” (12-13 November).
In fact, this story has been circulating for months and the (...)
