Discussion shifts to the overwhelming US military buildup near Venezuela, which might force Maduro's departure by damaging his credibility, possibly via anti-narcotics action. The interview concludes by analyzing the anticlimactic Trump-Xi meeting, attributing the lack of confrontation to Xi Jinping's significantly weakened position due to China's shattered economy and internal power struggles.

Mary Kissel analyzes the massive US military buildup near Venezuela, staged from Roosevelt Roads, noting that the Trump administration prioritizes removing Maduro due to national security threats. She emphasizes that the State Department possesses numerous non-military levers, like sanctions and international pressure through the OAS, to induce Maduro's exit without direct intervention. Kissel also characterizes President Trump's diplomatic engagement at ASEAN and APEC as very successful, securing vital commitments on rare earth mining and processing to counter Chinese economic threats in the Pacific. 1015-1030 Venezuela Pressure Campaign and Asian Diplomacy.

He explores the idea of a "Tale of Two Gazas," where Israel controls 53% and Hamas 47%, warning that reconstruction aid is improbable if Hamas remains in power. He highlights growing dangers, including the rearming of Hezbollah by Iran and unexpectedly Turkey, forcing Israel to reconsider the northern front. He adds that the Israeli military is actively engaged in "constant gardening" to address armed gangs in the West Bank. 1045-1100 Hamas Leverage, Gaza Ruin, and Hezbollah Rearmament.

In the UK, he details how Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Labour government are suffering plummeting approval due to economic mismanagement, forcing tax hikes and breaking promises, benefiting Nigel Farage's Reform UK party. 1130-1145 Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation. Colonel Jeff McCausland criticizes Secretary Hegseth's suggestion that resuming nuclear testing would make nuclear war "less likely," noting that the US deterrent is already credible and testing would destabilize adversaries. He highlights the excessive US military buildup near Venezuela, questioning the post-intervention mission, referencing the "Pottery Barn theory." Regarding Gaza, he suggests the potential creation of "two Gazas" leads to an indefinite, burdensome Israeli occupation and creates a breeding ground for future insurgency. 1145-1200 Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation.

The inchoate message of ‘hope' is unlikely to be met with the same enthusiasm the second time around, and many things about Your Party's debut on the British political theatre seem a little odd, to say the least.

It's been a painful week for the government, with a migrant sex offender accidentally released from prison and a damning report on the spiralling costs of the asylum system. But is a plan to house asylum seekers on military sites really the answer? Political journalist Zoë Grünewald - standing in for Coco as Nish's co-host this week - dives into how this re-hashed Conservative plan has managed to piss off, well, just about everyone. In better news - it's curtains for the hated section 21 ‘no-fault evictions' notices. The long-awaited Renters' Rights Act has become law! Nish and Zoe talk to housing journalist Vicky Spratt about how big a deal this is for renters across England. Plus - why Housing Secretary Steve Reed's Maga-style 'build, baby, build' crusade looks likely to end in affordable housing targets more pathetic than they are now. Then later – from spending £75,000 on flags to their only black party chair quitting - is Reform out-reforming Reform? And why is Jeremy Corbyn swapping parliament for panto this Christmas.

Paul Holden's new book, 'The Fraud', has made waves since its publication last month as it lays bare the intrigues, stratagems, and deceits that made Keir Starmer Leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister.Paul Holden shows how Starmer has been the frontman for a ruthless, right-wing political project headed by Morgan McSweeney, now chief of staff in Number 10 and arguably the most powerful man in Britain.McSweeney's clique often employed dirty tricks to undermine the left-wing Labour leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, fuelling a moral panic over antisemitism and establishing front groups that hobbled prominent independent media outlets in the name of fighting ‘misinformation'.With the shallow nature of this Labour project now clearly in its final throes, this episode is part of a multi-episode series bringing together how this happened and what can be done to bring the Party back into the hands of those who have its best interests at heart.You can purchase 'The Fraud' from OR Books here: https://orbooks.com/catalog/the-fraud/.Support the showEnjoyed the podcast and want to be a live audience member at our next episode?

More analysis at https://www.socialistparty.org.uk/ The fact that steps are being taken to develop ‘Your Party' will be very welcome news to the 800,000 who have already said they want to join. Against the background of brutal austerity from Starmer's New Labour Mark II and electoral gains for Reform the need for a workers' party with socialist policies could not be clearer. The Socialist Party will be joining ‘Your Party' and fighting for it to become a mass anti-war and anti-cuts workers' party. To be successful, Your Party must base itself on the power of the mass trade union movement, and its power in the workplaces, where workers come together and prepare to take collective action in defence of their interests. Your Party must also have a socialist programme, opposing the capitalist system and the war and poverty inherent in it. A new party that takes off will need to face up to the challenges of filling the vacuum with a concrete programme to oppose war and cuts, with candidates across the country in next May's local elections. This will be an opportunity to harness the anger at Labour and the capitalist establishment, and cut across the growth of Reform UK. ‘Your Party' could potentially win hundreds of councillors and even take control of councils. That in itself would be a huge boost to the confidence of millions. It would open up decisive battles to deliver real change via the significant powers local authorities have to deliver real change on jobs, housing, rent controls and restoring vital services.

London's streets were filled once again by protesters from the Palestine Coalition, even after the first steps of Trump's plan for peace were implemented over the weekend. Oli and Seán ask how long protests will continue, and whether Israel's occupation of Gaza, and the British state's complicity in it, has radicalised a generation. Also, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have made up, putting on a united front at the Your Party launch last Thursday. But have Zack Polanski's Greens stolen their base? Hosted on Acast.

Four and a half thousand miles away in Nepal, Gen Z protestors recently brought down their government in just 48 hours, amid roiling anger over corruption and nepotism. The uprising, led by online influencers harnessing the power of AI and Tik Tok, has sent shockwaves through South Asia. So, this week on Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker decides it's time to look at U.K. politics through the eyes of Gen Z — generally regarded as those born between 1997 and 2012. Luke Tryl, UK director of polling company More in Common, sheds light on the concerns of a generation that has only ever known constant crisis — from the 2008 financial crash to Brexit paralysis and then the Covid-19 pandemic. A Gen Z focus group describes what matters to them, and which political parties are grabbing their attention. Gen Z MPs — Sam Carling, the Labour MP known as the ‘Baby of the House', Keir Mather, who recently became the youngest Government minister in 200 years, and Lib Dem MP Joshua Reynolds — set out their plans to restore their generation's faith in mainstream Westminster politics. ‘Your Party' co-leader Zarah Sultana, which has polled well with young people, speaks to Patrick at a grassroots party meeting in North London, where we hear from Gen Z about their hopes for the future, and why they still back Jeremy Corbyn. With a big increase in Gen Z men voting for Reform UK, Owain Clatworthy, a 21-year-old Reform UK councillor in Bridgend in Wales, explains why he stood for Nigel Farage's right-wing populist party at such a young age. And following the recent killing of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk on a U.S.college campus, Patrick attends his memorial in London to speak to young men inspired by Kirk's ultra-conservative brand of right-wing politics.

Oh dear lefties… We just can't stop tearing each other apart, huh? One short month into the evolution of the new political party experiment undertaken by independent MPs Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn - and the whole thing has descended into acrimony. After a weekend of legal threats, “your” party is suddenly seeming to be a house of cards built amidst a hurricane. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage has seized the moment to vomit out a new wave of inflammatory anti-migrant rhetoric. The need for a unified left movement has never been more urgent - and new Green Party leader Zack Polanski is ready to meet the moment. Zack joins Nish and Coco in our (fully powered) studio - to talk about his vision for the future of the left, his plans to fight inequality and why he's not actually thrilled to see Zarah and Jez at each others throats. He also brings up his ever-so-slightly hypnotherapy boobjob and in revenge, helps us pip the Sun to the post on a saaaaaucy exclusive.

#Starmer #Israel #UKPolitics #Palestine #Hamas #JonGaunt Keir Starmer is under siege. After the Mandelson scandal blew up, Starmer vanished into his Downing Street bunker He refused to face the Commons, dodged the press, and then finally re-emerged — on a pre-recorded video — to announce support for Palestine! The timing? Conveniently dropped after Trump left the UK, and carefully staged to avoid tough questions. Within seconds of the video release, Starmer was accused of “rewarding terrorism,” Hamas were celebrating, and the public were furious. Polls show 9 out of 10 Brits oppose the move. Jon Gaunt believes this isn't about Gaza at all — it's about clinging to power, shoring up the Muslim block vote, and stopping Jeremy Corbyn's new party from eating into Labour's base. Is this leadership — or is Starmer now a lame duck leader? Is he a coward? Join us as we break down the video, the scandals, and the backlash Starmer can't seem to escape. #Starmer #Labour #UKPolitics #Palestine #Mandelson #Hamas #Corbyn #BlockVote #PoliticsLive #LameDuckLeader #StarmerScandal #UKNews #BreakingNews #PoliticalCrisis #DowningStreet #JonGaunt #LIVE Keir Starmer, Starmer Palestine U-turn, Starmer Mandelson scandal, Starmer hiding in bunker, Starmer coward, Labour Party crisis, Jeremy Corbyn new party, Muslim block vote UK, Starmer political backlash, Hamas celebrates Starmer, UK political scandals 2025, Starmer leadership crisis, Starmer afraid of press, UK politics live show, Starmer Downing Street scandal, Jon Gaunt, LIVE Starmer, Labour, UKPolitics, Palestine, Mandelson, Hamas, Corbyn, BlockVote, PoliticsLive, LameDuckLeader, StarmerScandal, UKNews, BreakingNews, PoliticalCrisis, DowningStreet, JonGaunt.

Labour risks massive defections to Corbyn's new radical left-wing party if Starmer's leadership continues. 930-945 HEADLINE: Nvidia's Strategic $5 Billion Investment in Intel Reshapes US Chip Industry GUEST NAME: Chris Riegel SUMMARY: Nvidia, led by Jensen Huang, invests $5 billion in Intel, gaining access to manufacturing capabilities while Intel gets crucial funding. This partnership reduces Nvidia's reliance on TSMC and aligns with President Trump's "national champion strategy." The deal comes amid China's ban on Nvidia chips and China's struggle for technological self-sufficiency. 945-1000 HEADLINE: India-China-Russia Axis Dismissed as Propaganda Despite Modi-Xi Handshake GUEST NAME: Sadanand Dhume SUMMARY: Sadanand Dhume dismisses speculation of an India-China-Russia "Eurasian axis" following Modi-Xihandshake at SCO summit as "nonsense." Relations remain hostile due to border disputes with tens of thousands of troops deployed. China's ties with Pakistan, supplying 80% of arms and investing through CPEC, further strain India relations. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: FBI Closes Investigation Despite Massive Chinese Casino Corruption in US Territory GUEST NAME: Grant Newsham SUMMARY: Former CNMI Governor Arnold Palacios requested FBI investigation into $1.6 billion missing COVID funds and Chinese casino corruption. Imperial Pacific International (IPI) allegedly facilitated money laundering "hundreds of billions," influenced politicians including Governor Torres. CNMI remains only US territory granting visa-free access to Chinese visitors, raising national security concerns. 1015-1030 CONTINUED HEADLINE: FBI Closes Investigation Despite Massive Chinese Casino Corruption in US Territory GUEST NAME: Grant Newsham SUMMARY: Former CNMI Governor Arnold Palacios requested FBI investigation into $1.6 billion missing COVID funds and Chinese casino corruption.

Using transit method analysis, they've excluded certain atmospheric compositions like cloudless Venus-like atmospheres. The team employs TRAPPIST-1b as a "stellar anchor" to correct distortions, keeping alive hopes of finding atmospheres on red dwarf planets.1045-1100 CONTINUED HEADLINE: James Webb Telescope Probes Potentially Habitable Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e GUEST NAME: Néstor Espinoza SUMMARY: Dr. Néstor Espinoza's team uses the James Webb Space Telescope to study TRAPPIST-1e, 40 light-years away in the habitable zone.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: US Industrial Policy Criticized as Ad-Hoc State Capitalism GUEST NAME: Veronique de Rugy SUMMARY: Veronique de Rugy analyzes government support for Intel and Nvidia's investment as state capitalism, distinct from cronyism. She criticizes government intervention, predicting poor outcomes when businesses operate under political pressure. The Trump administration's industrial policy lacks clear philosophy, creating uncertainty that could "kill investments" through unpredictable, reversible decisions. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: King Charles III Hosts Magnificent State Dinner at Windsor Castle GUEST NAME: Conrad Black SUMMARY: King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted the President and First Lady at Windsor Castle in a "magnificently done" state dinner. The King demonstrated graciousness and dignified conduct. The President's speech acknowledged America's origins from the British Empire and highlighted Anglo-American cooperation, referencing partnerships like Churchill-Roosevelt and Reagan-Thatcher. 1130-1145 HEADLINE: Trump EPA Faces Uphill Battle to Reverse Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding GUEST NAME: Jonathan Adler SUMMARY: The Trump administration's EPA attempts to reverse the 2009 "endangerment finding" for greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Recent Supreme Court rulings, including Loper Bright, ironically make reversal more difficult by eliminating Chevron deference. Courts will focus on statutory language and prior decisions, requiring the EPA to justify reversing decades of statements. 1145-1200 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Trump EPA Faces Uphill Battle to Reverse Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding GUEST NAME: Jonathan Adler SUMMARY: The Trump administration's EPA attempts to reverse the 2009 "endangerment finding" for greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

Who would have thought it? Jeremy Corbyn's insurgent party co-venture with Zarah Sultana seems to have imploded before it even got going. On Thursday, 'Your Party' supporters received an email from Zarah Sultana detailing how they could sign up for a £55 membership. Soon after, Jeremy Corbyn released a statement – co-signed by the so-called Gaza independent MPs that make up the as-yet-untitled party – which dismissed Sultana's email as ‘unauthorised', and that they were seeking legal advice.James Heale describes how it has the air of a 'South American coup', with both sides briefing against each other, including Zarah Sultana's camp accusing Jeremy Corbyn of overseeing a ‘sexist boys' club'. It is all getting very personal, and the disagreement seems to stem from a fundamental clash of egos between the two founders. Is this mortal for the party? And who stands to benefit: Keir Starmer, or the Green party's dynamic new leader, Zack Polanski?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Sienna Rodgers, deputy editor of The House Magazine and ‘Your Party' whisperer.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

After another public row between Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, 'Your Party' looks like it may not get off the ground - but could a more serious left-wing threat to Labour come from Zack Polanski's Green Party?Ed Vaizey unpacks the politics of the day with Giles Dilnot and Alys Denby.

The division between Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana grows over the botched launch of a new left party. Plus: TikTok has fired its entire UK online safety team, and we speak to Clive Lewis about the mainstreaming of far-right politics. With Michael Walker and Aaron Bastani.
PREVIEW: GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven SUMMARY: John Batchelor and Anatol Lieven discuss the UK political landscape, noting the decline of the Labourand Tory parties. Lieven observes that both established parties are unpopular, losing voters and MPs to more extreme factions. The rise of Nigel Farage's Reform Party on the right and Jeremy Corbyn's party on the left signifies a shift, with these parties now seen as more convincing representatives of their respective ideologies. 1828 DOWNING STREET
It's been a hellish week for our Disunited Kingdom. First Tommy Robinson mobilised ten of thousands in his ‘Unite the Kingdom' march. Before we could recover from that toxic side show, the headline act arrived: President Trump. He was kept behind a ring of steel in Windsor where he enjoyed British brown nosing at its best from flatterers-in-chief, the Royal Family. What a state we're in. Coco and Nish reflect on what they learned about their fellow Brits this week and the conclusion is scary. But before they abandon hope there was another march. Thousands of ‘Stop Trump' protestors came out onto the streets of London - to hear from a range of the UK's loudest progressive voices, from Zarah Sultana, to Zack Polanski and Jeremy Corbyn. Two protests, two faces of Britain. Can we ever bridge the divide? Finally - to round off the show, an injection of hope. Josie Naughton CEO of charity ‘Choose Love' joins the pod to show us that there definitely is a way through this.

Tá grianghraif, sceitsí agus litreacha ó chairde sa litir. Ba chuid de seo litir a scríobh Donald Trump chuig Epstein inar ghuigh sé breithlá sona dó. Tá an nóta breithlae i líníocht de chorp mná noichte. Shéan Donald Trump é roimhe seo, agus leanann sé ar aghaidh á shéanadh an tseachtain seo. Tá Bill Clinton liostaithe i rannóg na "gcairde" den leabhar agus deirtear gur thagair ambasadóir reatha na Ríochta Aontaithe chuig na Stáit Aontaithe, Peter Mandelson, d'Epstein mar "mo chara is fearr" ina litir féin. San iomlán, ainmnítear thart ar chéad caoga duine sa leabhar, lena n-áirítear pearsana poiblí eile ón saol acadúil agus ón dlí.D'éirigh Angela Rayner as a post mar leas-phríomhaire na Ríochta Aontaithe Dé hAoine seo caite tar éis scannal a bhain lena híocaíocht dleachta stampa.

Danny Shaw and Tim Shipman join Lucy Dunn for today's Coffee House Shots to talk about the government's reforms to the asylum system. Having worked with Yvette Cooper before, Danny argues that the reforms are a great approach for a long-term solution – but he worries that they are not bold enough for the public mood. Is Labour putting procedure above politics? And, with the migrant hotel issue bubbling under the surface, is the public's patience wearing thin?Plus: as Zack Polanski is elected leader of the Green Party, is Labour about to be out-flanked by two radical populists to its left? The Greens and Jeremy Corbyn's new party could now pose as much of a threat on the left, as Nigel Farage's Reform is doing on the right.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Something is happening in Britain, and it's not going to go down well with the established parties, the media, or the far right Reform Party that the country's elite class are placing their hopes in. There are the seeds of a new left emerging around the Green Party and a new and so far unformed movement 'Your Party' pioneered by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. An independent socialist movement led from outside of the Labour Party (the catch and kill party for British radicalism), is emerging with a significant sector of the public in support.

Juliet Jacques interviews James Schneider (co-founder of Momentum and director of strategic communications during Jeremy Corbyn's time as Labour leader) about the creation of the new left party in Britain, why there's a greater opportunity for a left electoral breakthrough now than there has been in living memory, and about the need to rebuild the left's social institutions.
En mayor o en menor medida todos los Gobiernos europeos se enfrentan al crecimiento en las encuestas de partidos identitarios y populistas. No hay ningún país que se escape a esa tendencia. Tanto el populismo de izquierda como el de derecha atraviesan un periodo dorado, especialmente entre los votantes más jóvenes. Pero hay una excepción a esta norma de edad: el Reino Unido, donde sucede todo lo contrario. Allí son los votantes más mayores, esencialmente los pensionistas, sobre quienes se sustenta este crecimiento sostenido de partidos como Reform UK en la derecha o Your Party en la izquierda, una nueva formación política que el anterior líder de los laboristas, Jeremy Corbyn acaba de fundar para pelear a Keir Starmer el voto más escorado a la izquierda. En el caso del Reino Unido llueve, en cierto modo, sobre mojado. Ya en el referéndum del Brexit hace casi diez años quienes decantaron el resultado final fueron precisamente los jubilados, mientras la población más joven votaba mayoritariamente por permanecer en la Unión Europea. Esa radicalización política de los pensionistas no ha hecho más que acrecentarse en los últimos años. Tanto las manifestaciones de la extrema derecha como las de la extrema izquierda están llenas de jubilados y son también muchos jubilados quienes detiene la policía por protagonizar altercados. En las protestas contra la guerra de Gaza, por ejemplo, aproximadamente la mitad de los detenidos son mayores de 60 años, algunos de ellos incluso han sido acusados de terrorismo por la fiscalía. El peso electoral de los pensionistas es cada vez mayor ya que la sociedad británica es una de las más envejecidas del mundo. La edad media en el Reino Unido es de más de 40 años y hay más mayores de 65 años que menores de 15, pero los primeros votan y los segundos no. Esto tiene consecuencias directas en las elecciones. En las últimas Keir Starmer ganó con un ajustado 32% de los votos pero, gracias al sistema electoral, consiguió una cómoda mayoría absoluta. Eso sí, todo indica que una carambola como esta no volvería a repetirse de celebrarse hoy las elecciones. Quien se lo llevaría todo sería Nigel Farage y Reform UK. Las encuestas más recientes le dan aproximadamente un tercio de los votos al mismo tiempo que hunden (aún más) a los conservadores y a los laboristas. Faltan aún casi cuatro años para las próximas elecciones y Starmer se muestra relativamente tranquilo y confiado, pero si la tendencia se afianza puede ir despidiéndose ya de revalidar el cargo. Fácil no lo tiene. La situación económica es comprometida, no ha regresado el crecimiento que prometió hace un año y cunde el desánimo. Es en ese ambiente en el que Farage está pescando y donde Corbyn quiere hacer lo propio. Your Party ha empezado a aparecer ya en las encuestas y algunas le adjudican hasta un 15% de intención de voto. En ambos casos el principal empuje son el grupo de edad que se sitúa por encima de los 60 años, mientras los jóvenes y los británicos de mediana edad se muestran más moderados en sus preferencias políticas, justo lo contrario de lo que está sucediendo en el resto de Europa. Para hablar de este tema vuelve, desde el corazón de Inglaterra, Andrea a La ContraCrónica. Entre ambos trataremos de desentrañar las razones de esta particularidad británica que tiene a los sociólogos un tanto confusos. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra la Revolución Francesa”… https://amzn.to/4aF0LpZ · “Hispanos.

Since the government's decision to proscribe the group Palestine Action, arrests have mounted across the country, raising questions not only about the group's tactics but also about the government's handling of free speech and protest rights.On today's special edition of Coffee House Shots, Michael Simmons is joined by The Spectator's James Heale and journalist Ash Sarkar to debate whether this is evidence of an increasingly authoritarian bent to Starmer's Labour. Has the ban made prosecutions easier, or has it created a chilling effect on freedom of expression? And is this further evidence of the overreach of the attorney-general, Lord Hermer?Also on the podcast, with Keir Starmer's majority secured but his party's membership dwindling, is there space for a new populist party to Labour's left? Ash defends Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana's efforts to establish Your Party. Should they be taking a leaf out of Reform's playbook?Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

Ralph devotes the entire program to challenging the “official” count of 60 thousand fatalities reported so far in the genocide Israel, aided and abetted by the United States, has perpetrated on the Palestinians in Gaza. First, Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who volunteered twice in Gaza hospitals, presents the various studies that revise estimates into the hundreds of thousands. Then weapons expert, Professor Theodore Postol, backs that up with his knowledge of the destructive power of the weapons being used and the photographic evidence of the rubble.Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma, general, and critical care surgeon. He has volunteered twice in Gaza since 2024 and three times in Ukraine since 2022. He has published on humanitarian surgical work in the New York Times, Politico, and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.I've made my point clear month after month that I believe the death toll is now well over 500,000. And it's important to have an accurate death toll to respect the Palestinian dead and to intensify diplomatic, political, and civic pressures from around the world (and particularly from the White House and Congress) to cease fire, to let the humanitarian trucks that are already at the border in (with food, medicine, water, hospital supplies), and to make sure that this conflict is resolved safely.Ralph NaderIt certainly seems that every single international expert on the topic does think that this is a genocidal attack, so I don't see any reason to disbelieve what they're saying. But that doesn't have to do with how many people are killed. So what I'm just trying to point out is that even if the numbers of people that we talk about here today are (like Ralph said) half a million, or whatever number of people have been killed, nobody disputes that huge numbers of mass killings have taken place. And it doesn't seem that anybody who knows what they're talking about disputes that it's genocidal at this point.Dr. Feroze SidhwaIt's been very widely understood by lots and lots of people, of a huge variety of political leanings, a huge variety of life experiences, of professions, et cetera, that this is the image that springs to mind when they go to the Gaza Strip—it's something like a gigantic concentration camp.Dr. Feroze SidhwaIf the U.S. or Israel cared at all about how many people (including, remember, this is a territory that is half children) —if we cared how many people, including children, we have starved to death, have shot dead, have blown up, et cetera, we could figure it out in two weeks and with 10 grand. The Israelis wouldn't even have to stop their assault. They could keep doing it. They could just agree to de-conflict this group of a few people. But they won't do it for obvious reasons. And I shouldn't say “they” —we won't do it for obvious reasons.Dr. Feroze SidhwaTheodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. His expertise is in nuclear weapon systems, including submarine warfare, applications of nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defense, and ballistic missiles more generally.When you have a large building collapse, everyone is going to be dead unless they're out of the building. It's just that simple. And even when you have large buildings collapse and you have people coming in to search for people, you typically only find a few people who happen to have been lucky enough to be trapped in a cavity that's near a surface area of the rubble heap. If you're deep in the rubble heap, your chances of surviving are near zero.Professor Theodore PostolNews 8/15/25* New Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index data shows Trump's new tariff regime has resulted in significant increases in tariff-sensitive staple consumer goods. Some startling price spikes include a 38.9% rise in the price of vegetables, 14.5% increase in the price of coffee and an 11.3% increase in the price of beef and veal. Beyond food, electricity is up 5.5%, rent and shelter is up 3.6%, and health insurance is up 4.4%. These increases are sure to be politically unpopular, as Trump campaigned on bringing down inflation and the price of groceries. The reporting of this data also raises questions about Trump's response, given his response to the recent negative BLS data reporting on new job creation.* Speaking of job creation data, while the U.S. only reported the creation of 73,000 new jobs in July, Mexico, under left-wing economic nationalist president and AMLO successor Claudia Scheinbaum, created over 1.26 million new jobs in the same month, according to Mexico News Daily. Furious about the jobs report, Trump forced out the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is now seeking to install right-wing economist EJ Antoni. According to the BBC, economists have said his “economic commentary [is] rife with basic mistakes.” Antoni, kowtowing to Trump, has proposed ending the monthly jobs report. Antoni would need to be confirmed by Senate Republicans, who have expressed some trepidation about his appointment, but whether that will be enough for them to stand up to Trump on this appointment seems unlikely.* In more domestic economic news, Jacobin reports corporations are experimenting with a new method of worker exploitation – so-called “stay-or-pay” contracts. According to this article, millions of employees – from nurses to pilots to fast food workers – are, often unwittingly, being “inserted into…restrictive labor covenants [which] turn employer-sponsored job training and education programs into conditional loans that must be paid back — sometimes at a premium — if employees leave before a set date.” These contracts, known as Training Repayment Agreement Provisions, or their acronym TRAPs, have become a major new battleground between corporate interests and groups fighting for labor rights, including unions and regulators. However, with Trump administration efforts to rollback even the modest labor protections promulgated under the Biden administration, the possibility of any federal intervention on behalf of workers seems remote.* In more Trump-related news, the occupation of Washington, D.C. has commenced. Trump has deployed federal agents, including officers with the Department of Homeland Security and Drug Enforcement Administration, as well as National Guard troops, to patrol the streets of the capital. Some of these deployments seem to be mostly for media spectacle; feds have been seen patrolling tourist areas like the National Mall, Union Station and Georgetown, but others have been going into District neighborhoods and harassing District residents for smoking on their own property. Moreover, while Trump has said "Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people," the Justice Department has in fact announced that this year violent crime in Washington has hit a 30-year low, per NPR. Trump is restricted to a 30 day takeover of the District by law, but is seeking to extend this window through Congress.* As usual, even as Trump claims to be cracking down on crime, his administration treats corporate crime with kid gloves. Despite major news of corporate misconduct this week – including the reopening of a Boar's Head facility shut down earlier this year due to a listeria outbreak despite ongoing sanitation issues and an explosion at the Clairton Coke Works in Pittsburgh that left at least two dead and ten injured – a new Public Citizen report shows the extent of the administration's soft-on-corporate-crime approach. According to this report, “the Trump administration has already withdrawn or halted enforcement actions against 165 corporations of all types – and one in four of the corporations benefiting from halted or dropped enforcement is from the technology sector, which has spent $1.2 billion on political influence during and since the 2024 elections.”* Turning to Gaza, the Financial Times reports, “Israel has killed…prominent Al Jazeera correspondent [Anas Al-Sharif] in Gaza and four of his colleagues…in an air strike targeting them in a media tent.” This report notes the Israeli military “took credit” for the strike after “months of threats and unproven allegations that [the journalist] was the head of a Hamas cell.” The Committee to Protect Journalists called these claims an attempt to “manufacture consent for his killing.” The network called this move a “desperate attempt to silence voices in anticipation of the occupation of Gaza.” Anas Al-Sharif was a prominent journalist in the Arab world and was part of a Reuters photo team who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2024. Israel has already killed six Al Jazeera reporters in Gaza prior to this strike.* Meanwhile, in Egypt, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi last Tuesday issued his harshest criticism of Israel thus far, accusing the nation of prosecuting “a war for starvation, genocide, and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.” Yet, according to Drop Site News, Sisi's comments came just days before an announcement that an Israeli company will begin supplying Egypt with vast amounts of gas. This $35 billion deal between Egypt, neighbor to Israel and Palestine and the largest Arab nation, and Israeli energy company NewMed is the largest export agreement in Israel's history. This deal adds a new dimension to other comments Sisi made in those same remarks, wherein he defended Egypt against criticism for “not opening the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing to allow in aid.” It remains to be seen whether the genocide comments represent a new chapter of Egypt-Israel relations, or whether they are just a smokescreen to cover Egypt and Israel's increasing economic interdependence.* In Palestine news from the homefront, Semafor reports the Democratic National Committee will consider two dueling resolutions on Gaza at their meeting this month. According to Dave Weigel, one, introduced by DNC Chair Ken Martin would “[urge] a ceasefire and a return of hostages held by Hamas,” along with a reaffirmation of the increasingly far-fetched two-state solution. The other, introduced by a DNC member on the progressive flank of the party, calls for “suspension of military aid to Israel” and recognition of a Palestinian state. The latter resolution has drawn the ire of Democratic Majority for Israel, a political organization that aims to keep the Democratic Party firmly in the pro-Israel camp. DMFI's president, Brian Romick, is quoted saying that resolution would be a “gift to Republicans” and would “embolden Israel's adversaries.”* In more positive foreign affairs news, Jeremy Corbyn's new party in the United Kingdom appears to be gaining steam. A string of polls indicate the party could win the seats currently held by several high-profile Labour Party MPs, including Health Secretary Wes Streeting and now-resigned Homelessness Secretary Rushanara Ali. Most shockingly, it seems they could even win Holborn and St. Pancras, the seat currently held by Labour Party Prime Minister Keir Starmer. If this Corbynite wave does ultimately crest, it would be a stunning reversal of fortune after the Starmerite Labour Party expelled the former Labour leader in 2023.* Finally, AOL announced this week that they will end their Dial-up internet service in September, Ars Technica reports. AOL launched their Dial-up service in 1991, helping to usher in the era of widespread internet adoption. While this may seem like a natural step in terms of technological advancement, US Census data from 2022 shows that approximately 175,000 American households still connect to the Internet through dial-up services. As this article notes, “These users typically live in rural areas where broadband infrastructure doesn't exist or remains prohibitively expensive to install.” In effect, this move could leave these rural communities completely without internet, a problem compounded by the Trump administration's decision earlier this year to “abandon key elements of a $42.45bn Biden-era plan to connect rural communities to high-speed internet,” per the Guardian. It should be considered a national disgrace if both the private sector and the government leave these rural communities behind.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Suzi speaks to Tariq Ali about Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's new party — provisionally called Your Party — which has surpassed Labour's membership with over 650,000 sign-ups. Your Party calls for public ownership, redistribution, and a politics rooted in communities, unions and social movements. Starmer's Labour government has nothing for the population, but billions for war and complicity in genocide. Supporters see a historic opening for the Left; critics warn it could split the vote and hand power to Nigel Farage's far-right Reform UK, which has overtaken the weakened Tories. We get Tariq Ali's assessment of Your Party's politics, prospects, and perils. Then Flor Melendrez of CLEAN Carwash, the country's first car wash worker center, talks to Suzi about the escalating ICE raids on carwasheros across Southern California. ICE uses racial profiling to conduct suspicion-less stops, warrantless home raids, and illegal workplace actions. A new class action lawsuit demands an immediate halt to these violations of the 4th and 5th Amendments of the Constitution. Flor tells us how ICE raids are hitting carwasheros in their workplaces, and how these workers are organizing to defend their jobs and families. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.
