Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran:

“Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Bibi and Putin are in power only beause their countries are at war. Trump is playing that card now. His clown show magnified the deaths from Covid by one million souls. Imagine what it will do in a war.

Spain, upholding international law unlike other cowards, has banned the United States from using its bases for a War of Aggression.

Spain's FM: "Spanish bases are not being used for this operation, and they will not be used for anything not included in the agreement with the United States."

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Corbyn: "I’m speaking on behalf of Your Party, he ’s speaking on behalf of the Greens, we’re absolutely united in the need to defeat the far right, defeat Reform, defeat the racists, defeat the fascists that’s why we’re supporting the Greens in the Denton by-election”

So much to say about him.
Few will mention: Top economic advisor to his presidential campaigns was late radical political economist David M Gordon, a founder of Social Structure of Accumulation (SSA) theory and co-designer of the non-neoliberal path.

After the demise of post-WW2 regulated capitalism, a new capitalist structure would replace it (ending capitalism was unfortunately not on the menu)—neoliberal capitalism, or the alternative laid out by Gordon & co-authors in the book Beyond the Wasteland.
Jesse Jackson championed that alternative 🙏
