Ursula von der Leyen came into office promising a “green deal”. She will leave it having co-sponsored a Holocaust, surrendered $750 billion of European funds to the US fossil fuel industry, and agreed to unequal trade terms with the US. A record of criminality and humiliation.

Horrified to see protestors fired upon in Tirah KPK. When issues cannot be resolved people will march to the gates of power.

Horrific news from Tirah where protesters were killed by security forces. People were protesting the death of a child killed by mortar fire. Scores of children have been killed in unannounced military operations in KPK. Shamefully, there is no mention of this on mainstream media.

Only a slave of empire would be conferring this medal on the commander of US CENTOM during the holocaust of Gaza.

اس ہفتے پاکستان میں: •اسلام آباد میں یوٹیلیٹی ملازمین کا دھرنا •گوجرانوالہ اور فیصل آباد میں مزدوروں کی ہڑتالیں •جبری گمشدگیوں کے خلاف اسلام آباد میں دھرنا •خیبرپختونخوا اور گلگت بلتستان میں بڑھتی ہوئی عسکری مداخلت کے خلاف شدید احتجاج عوام کا نظام کے خلاف غصہ نقطۂ عروج پر…

Shameful stuff frankly. One thing to engage in security cooperation against IS, quite another to confer military awards on the general directly responsible for arming Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinians. Such sycophancy diminishes Pakistan's stance on the genocide.

This week in Pakistan -Utility employees dharna in Islamabad -Workers strikes in Gujranwala & Faisalabad -Dharna against enforced disappearances in Islamabad -Massive protests against increasing militarization in KPK & GB Public rage against the system is at a boiling point.

We now have 300,000 people signed up and the establishment is clearly frightened. Westminster is broken, but the real crisis is inequality: just fifty families now own more wealth than half the population. Let’s change that together. Join us: yourparty.uk

It’s finally here. We will build our party together. But into what, how and for what purpose? I discussed that all with @Oliver_Eagleton. newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up at yourparty.uk.

I have always held in contempt those intellectuals based in urban centers (or abroad) who romanticise armed struggle without bearing the consequences. They are ruining lives while building their own social media profiles.

Just another day of field reporting. It always feels deeply fulfilling when we become the voice of the people’s cause. Today’s reality: 13,000 workers are being laid off ,that’s 13,000 families whose lives are in limbo. While @BBhuttoZardari and the PPP MNAs have raised their…

The sentencing of PTI leaders and workers is excessively harsh and serves no purpose except to deepen strife and foster an ugly political culture that only harms Pakistan. Enough is enough.

7th day of strike by powerloom workers in Gujranwala against non-enforcement of already inadequate minimum wage laws. The govt is touting export gains in textiles as its own success while workers who sustain this critical export industry can't even obtain the legal minimum wage.

Hundreds of workers are on strike in Gujranwala and Faisalabad against government failure to implement labour laws. Minimum wage is not being adhered to, while prices of basic commodities skyrocket. Workers' struggle will only intensify in the face of the government's apathy.

No political stability, economic recovery or meaningful national consensus on the spiralling security crisis will be possible if the ruling apparatus continues to remain at war with the country's largest political party. Sooner or later, this reality will have to be faced.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy both belong in The Hague.

Sentencing of PTI's workers, including opp leader in Punjab, reflects increasing authoritarianism in Pakistan. Everyone knows that all institutions are under the thumb of one department. This is not justice. It's political victimization that has held us hostage for decades.
