"What really enraged Tony [Blair] was when Andy [Burnham] said that he wanted an end to neoliberalism."
Former Political Secretary to Tony Blair @Johnmcternan speaks with @mehdirhasan after a stunning by-election victory for the Labour candidate Andy Burnham in Makerfield.
Just another reminder that Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq war - an illegal war that cost over a million lives.
He has refused to describe the systematic slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza as genocide.
So what will change? Nothing.
Arms sales to apartheid Israel will continue.
Palestine Action will remain banned, and more pensioners will be locked up.
Welfare will be cut to fund more weapons.
Immigration detention will expand, and mass deportations will continue.
Andy Burnham is not the second coming. He's the establishment's last roll of the dice.
We've already seen racist pogroms on our streets. That danger has not gone away.
So we must organise, build solidarity, and create power from below. Fascism isn't at the door. It's already here.
Only socialism can face down this barbarism.
🇺🇦 Here's how weapons are brought into Ukraine from Poland using civilian trucks.
The drones which attacked Russia today are made in the UK, shipped to Poland and sent into Ukraine in disguise.
Notice the 'H' in a split frame? That's Ukraine's Nova Poshta for civilian packages.
Russian Geran-2 drones struck the "Okhtyrsʹka" 110 kV electrical substation of the Okhtyrka Thermal Power Plant in Sumy Oblast, resulting in a large fire breaking out.

Islam vs Garry is such a waste of a fight.
Islam is going to lay on him for 25 minutes and everyone will pretend it was a masterclass.
Of course he avoided actual danger like Prates and Morales and picked the guy with pillow hands.
Islam Makhachev will look to make the first defence of his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry on Aug. 15 in Philadelphia, UFC announced on Wednesday.
A strawweight title bout between Mackenzie Dern and Gillian Robertson will serve as the co-main event.
Laila Cunningham said that she receives the most racist abuse from Restore voters.
"Every time I post something, they say, 'Deport her' or 'You're not British.' They have an issue with the children of immigrants like myself, or with immigrants who have become British citizens. They seem to think that I'm not British."
This is awkward because Matt Goodwin does not believe that the children of immigrants like herself are British. He has made that clear, and the receipts are attached to the video.
