Starmer's recent purge debacle, UK
Starmer tried to purge Diane Abbott MP along with the rest of the Labour left,
but he
had
to retract this after it blew up in his face.
This purge accompanies many plutocratist policy commitments, such as not to raise taxes on the
rich. But the purge is worse, because it threatens to convert Labour forever into a less
radical version of the Tory Party.
Resisting purges is the only way I can envision to enable Labour to be once again the "moral
crusade" it was meant to be. Corbyn is resisting his purge by running as an independent,
against a Labour candidate who is so right-wing that he epitomizes what's wrong with Starmer
Labour. (He has a business which competes against the NHS — just the sort of person you
do not want in Parliament.) Abbott convinced the party to un-purge her. Both count as
successes.
But there have been several other purges that have not been resisted yet, including
Faiza
Shaheen.

Cease-fire deal fails
Biden's cease-fire deal failed because he thought to gain Netanyahu's agreement
using
influence alone. Netanyahu told him, contemptuously, to buzz off.
Biden could succeed if he dares to use real pressure, not merely influence.

The loser tough on crime
*[The insurrectionist] has spent years complaining that American police and the criminal legal
system should be "very much tougher," arguing that some criminals should not be protected by
civil liberties, police should rough up suspects, and that a much wider range of people should
face
the death penalty for breaking the law.*
How about you, Mr Felon?
He should not be executed, though, because
the
death penalty is inherently unjust regardless of what the crime.

Thug of hair-trigger violence
Another instance of hairtrigger violence by a uniformed thug against a
black man has led to the
resignation
of the thug.
Is this enough to teach other thugs not to do this in the future?

Urgent: End sanctions against Venezuela
US citizens:
call
on Biden to end the broad sanctions against Venezuela.
Maduro has no respect for democracy, but the sanctions against Venezuela harm the people rather
than the rulers.

Recent horrible air strike, Gaza
*Ocasio-Cortez Says Biden Must Suspend Israeli Aid After
"Indefensible

I deplore the article's use of the name "X" to refer to Ex-Twitter.
