The Guardian - UK

Zack Polanski’s Jewish identity is being erased because he is leftwing

The leader of the Green party has faced antisemitic attacks, and yet his thoughts on the subject don’t count as far as the rightwing UK press is concerned, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Tony Blair says the left is in ‘unholy alliance’ with Islamists. It’s a desperate last ploy to quell the anger over Gaza

There are no missiles raining down on Havana. But what I saw there was still warfare

Trump’s oil blockade is starving the island of vital resources. His brute force isn’t making America great again – it’s breeding resentment across the globe, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

Trump thinks brute force will arrest the US’s decline. His heavy-handed actions in Iran are only accelerating it

From Venezuela to the Middle East, this is gangsterism fused with colonialism. It repudiates the moral language through which US power once justified itself, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Britons don’t want any part of Trump’s war fixation – the sooner Labour realises that the better

Kowtowing to US foreign policy in Iraq and Afghanistan had disastrous consequences. Why are leaders making the same mistake again, asks Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

I saw how the Greens channelled voters’ anger – and fused it with hope. That’s why they won in Gorton and Denton

Starmer called the byelection a battle for the nation’s soul. This result shows Labour has lost that – and I think it will lose much more, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

What’s the state of this Starmer-led nation? Speak to angry voters in Gorton and Denton and it all becomes clear

I had so many conversations with people fed up with all the chaos, deceit and U-turns. Politics must respond to this disenchantment, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

The left warned that Starmerism would end like this. Now all of Britain faces the fallout

Peter Mandelson helped Morgan McSweeney privilege Labour’s reactionary forces to sustain the PM, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

Starmer has little to offer voters of either right or left in Gorton and Denton. That’s why he’s facing a perfect storm

The Greens are buoyant as Labour struggles. After shredding any semblance of a progressive agenda, fear of Reform is all the PM’s party has left, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

The Burnham fiasco shows that the right of the Labour party would rather see it burn than lose control

Starmer’s drones see themselves as characters in The West Wing, full of machiavellian skullduggery but with none of the idealism. No wonder Labour is running out of road, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

Donald Trump needs helpers for his appalling neocolonialist project. What else is this ‘board of peace’?

Blair, Putin, Erdoğan, Orbán: the names of those invited to serve say it all. And it’s about so much more than Gaza, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

Pity Keir Starmer – he’s the fall guy for a Labour right that’s ready to cast him aside

The PM is the face of failure, but he is not solely responsible. As the Blairite ideologues mass behind Wes Streeting, we should hold them to account too, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK

Your Party’s antics assume a luxury the left does not have: time

Legal spats, public denunciations and an obsession with internal process must be consigned to the past, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Guardian - UK
