An “under-16s social media ban” would not really be a ban on children using social media at all. In practice, it would almost certainly require millions of ordinary adults to prove who they are online simply to access parts of the internet – with pressure over time for wider and wider forms of digital ID, age verification and biometric checking. |

The back-to-back summits in Beijing revealed not only China’s growing diplomatic confidence but also the emergence of a deeper Sino-Russian axis that increasingly challenges the foundations of the US-led global order.

Britain could have a new prime minister soon.
Keir Starmer saw off calls to resign following the heavy losses in the local elections, but his premiership remains far from secure.
On Tuesday, Andy Burnham was confirmed as the Labour Party candidate in the Makerfield by-election in June. It’s set to be a significant proxy leadership battle.

It’s been a turbulent couple of weeks in British politics! In the wake of the local election results we have seen a number of senior ministers resigning from the Labour government, and that included the Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Just a few weeks ago we sat in his office, urging him to do more to protect patients and the NHS and presenting him with a list of 10 demands for change. |

The Trump administration’s decision to pursue an indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro (2008–2018) over the shoot-down of two Brothers to the Rescue aircraft in February 1996 has drawn attention amid broader allegations of U.S. double standards. Analysts and political figures point to the contrast between this legal action and reported U.S. military operations in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific that have destroyed small boats and resulted in nearly 200 deaths, without any legal accountability.

While the capitalist system rewards short-term cycles, building a dignified future is a slow task that requires disciplined organisation and an enduring struggle to bring forth the social forces of a new world.

Has Putin finally given up on the illusion of a grand deal with the United States after this visit to China?
According to Pepe Escobar, Washington is no longer confronting only Iran, Russia, or China — it is increasingly confronting the global economy itself. From the Ukraine war to Iran, energy routes, and the future of the petro-dollar system, this is no longer just a regional conflict, but part of a much larger geopolitical transformation.

Venezuela’s betrayal of Alex Saab in handing him over to the U.S. leaves little room for debate. The Bolivarian revolution has been seriously undermined and can only be revived by the Venezuelan people themselves.

Washington arrived in Beijing carrying sanctions, aircraft carriers, and the exhausted myths of neoliberal supremacy, while Silicon Valley and Wall Street arrived carrying spreadsheets, supply-chain dependencies, and demands for access to the very industrial system the empire now seeks to contain. Beneath the summit’s choreography unfolded a deeper crisis of hyper-imperial decline, where deindustrialization, financialization, technological warfare, and collapsing Western legitimacy have forced the United States into negotiated rivalry with China. The struggle over chips, AI, Taiwan, Iran, chokepoints, and Eurasian integration revealed that the New Cold War is a battle over who will control the infrastructure of the twenty-first century. Yet the summit also exposed the reopening of history itself, where imperial decline creates dangers of war and technofascism, but also openings for anti-colonial struggle, proletarian internationalism, and revolutionary transformation.

A protest in Italy calling for the release of the Palestinian prisoner Anan Yaeesh and Ahmad Salem. (Sebastiano Bacci / ZUMA Press)
On 14 April, a court in Campobasso, southern Italy, sentenced Ahmad Salem, a Palestinian asylum seeker, to four years in prison.
The decision followed a now-familiar pattern in Italian – and, more broadly, European – courts: charges of alleged terrorism.

On Wednesday, it was named the NHS Modernisation Bill; a day later it was published as the Health Bill, with this funny line in Hansard: “Secretary Wes Streeting, supported by the Prime Minister”… oh.
Clause 1 is wonderful: “NHS England is abolished”, but they didn’t stop there.

Four Palestine Action activists convicted in a retrial over a protest at a UK site owned by Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer could be sentenced as terrorists.
No case in British legal history has seen direct action activists sentenced under terrorism provisions – until now.
