The Labour Party has been hemorrhaging both popularity and members since coming into power in 2024, with disturbing results: for the first time ever, the far-right Reform UK recently polled neck and neck with the two largest parties in Britain. The information caused concern among Labour ranks but led to no significant changes. In fact, Labour leadership appears to be making the same mistake as other center-left parties in Europe—adopting right-wing rhetoric and policies in the hope of outdoing the original.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember and honor Marshall "Eddie" Conway, a member of the Black Panther Party and revolutionary activist for the liberation of Black people in the United States.
Conway dedicated his life to the Black liberation struggle and the fight against racism and inequality. He spent 44 years behind bars as a political prisoner. Conway was an integral part of the Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party. After his release in 2014, Eddie continued the struggle, taking up journalism with The Real News Network. Even as his health declined, a product of the 4 decades he spent in prison, Eddie never abandoned the struggle. He lived his life for the people.
¡Hasta siempre!
