A defiant Tony Blair defended his decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 following the publication of a devastating report by Sir John Chilcot, which mauled the ex-prime minister’s reputation and said that at the time of the 2003 invasion Saddam Hussein “posed no imminent threat”.

That apology is owed to the people of Iraq, the families of those soldiers who died in Iraq or who have returned home injured or incapacitated, and to the millions of British citizens who feel our democracy was traduced and undermined when the decision to go to war was made

The British people who voted in the EU Referendum were armed with only a fraction of the truth they needed to cast their votes. Had they known the full and completely provable truth, then the Brexit vote would have been overwhelming and the unfortunate schisms opening up in our country today would not now be occurring.

The Brexit vote was a momentous political earthquake and the seismic shifts that caused it have been long in the making. It has ruptured so many political structures — decades and even centuries old, national and international — so deeply it could be decades before its damage can be fully reckoned.

UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn seemed to draw a comparison between Israel and the Islamic State terror group on Thursday, in remarks he made during an event marking the release of a report on anti-Semitism within his party.

While European Union rules say that membership is revoked automatically at the end of that period, Britain could theoretically use that time to negotiate an alternative plan.

The media in the United States have treated the British vote against remaining in the European Union (EU) as if it is populist “Trumpism,” an inarticulate right-wing vote out of ignorance at being left behind by the neoliberal economic growth policy. The fact that Donald Trump happened to be in Scotland

Many words could have been used to describe the transformative events following the UK’s historic and unprecedented decision to leave the European Union. Asked over the weekend about the exchange between President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday following the results of this seminal event and his resignation, National Security Advisor Susan Rice said that the President described the outcome as a “bummer.”

La défense de la souveraineté nationale, comme sa critique, donne lieu à de graves malentendus dès lors qu’on la détache du contenu social de classe de la stratégie dans laquelle elle s’inscrit. Le bloc social dirigeant dans les sociétés capitalistes conçoit toujours la souveraineté comme un instrument nécessaire pour la promotion de ses propres intérêt

The groundwork for the Brexit debacle was laid last July when Europe crushed the last progressive pro-European government the EU is likely to see – the SYRIZA government elected in Greece in January 2015. Most Britons were not directly engaged with the Greek trauma.
