On 25 May the Ukrainian state reburied Andriy Melnyk, the WWII leader of one wing of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, with full honours and the president in attendance. For Russia sympathisers on the western left, proof that Ukraine is becoming a fascist state. For Ukraine's liberal supporters, a patriotic homecoming about which nothing critical may be said. Both wrong. The good news is that there is no far-right seizure of power. The bad news is that the ultranationalist (…)

Sous pression de son opinion publique et malgré les contraintes imposées par Washington, Benyamin Nétanyahou a ordonné à ses troupes d'intensifier les bombardements sur le sud du pays, tout en s'infiltrant plus au nord. Mercredi, la ville de Tyr a notamment été visée. Beyrouth (Liban).– D'un simple communiqué publié sur les réseaux sociaux, mercredi 27 mai, en plein milieu de la célébration de l'aïd al-Adha, l'armée israélienne a une nouvelle fois ordonné à la population de Tyr d'évacuer.

In light of important electoral processes and (…)

Andrea Ferrario reads a month's output from the activist aggregator LaborInfo — investigations, reportage and data from across the Chinese press, including a 'Marxist' labour-orientated publication — and proposes a composite portrait of work in China in 2026. His argument is that disparate crises, scattered across sectors, generations and regions, share one structural root: the systematic vulnerability of the Chinese worker, and the precision with which the cost of every transformation is (…)

Dave Kellaway responds to Blair's essay Mandelson and his protégé Morgan McSweeney may be dead politically. Labour Together has even buried its old brand. People are abandoning Labour for the Greens and Reform. But the architect of New Labour is still out there and he has made quite a splash with his 5000 word essay.
