Above photo: Protesters make their feelings known about Boris Johnson and the Tories in Parliament Square on Wednesday. Paul Childs/Reuters. Over the past several days, the news story that has dominated British news headlines, and consequently, the news headlines of the rest of the Western world, is controversy over a leaked email confirming Boris Johnson’s attendance at a Downing Street garden party in May 2020 – a time when the Summer weather is usually at its peak in Britain, and incidentally, the same time when the entire country was under stringent lockdown measures. In spite of offering an almost immediate apology in […]
From Nicaraguan Revolutionaries To US Embassy Informants The Story Of How Nicaragua’s Former Guerrilla Dora María Téllez And Her Anti-Sandinista MRS Party Allied With The Right Wing And Became Coup-Supporting Informants For The US Embassy. One of the most high-profile opponents of Nicaragua’s Sandinista government points to her revolutionary youth to justify her position. And while the international media constantly sings her praise, what it does not mention is that she abandoned revolutionary politics long ago, and has become a key asset in the US government’s campaign of unconventional warfare against Nicaragua. When she was just 22-years-old, Dora María Téllez fought as […]

On Monday, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra along with California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, both Democrats, demanded that Republicans provide a list of voters whose ballots have been collected using the “unauthorised” boxes. California Republican Party general counsel Tom Hiltachk has made it plain that they will not remove unofficial ballot drop boxes from several local counties as more than 1.5 million vote-by-mail ballots have already been cast in the Golden State. Hiltachk said on Wednesday that the boxes were installed in line with California’s “ballot harvesting” law, which typically allows volunteers to collect ballots from voters and return them […]
A New Zealand political party, Advance NZ, has cried foul after its Facebook page was removed, allegedly for containing falsehoods about the coronavirus pandemic.

The move comes just two days before New Zealand holds a general election. A spokesperson for Facebook insisted that the decision was in keeping with clearly laid out guidelines and was not politically motivated. Party co-leader Billy Te Kahika […]

Swedish citizen and climate activist Greta Thunberg, 17, is encouraging US voters to “get organized” and vote for Joe Biden, despite claiming she does not “engage in party politics.” Thunberg made her endorsement while citing a tweet from Scientific American Magazine telling voters to “protect science instead of destroying it” by voting Donald Trump out of office in November. “I never engage in party politics. But the upcoming US elections is above and beyond all that,” the 17-year-old, who has been critical of Trump in the past despite her no “party politics” rule, said. “From a climate perspective it’s very far […]
BERLIN (Sputnik) – The congress of Germany’s ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU), during which its new leader is supposed to be chosen to succeed Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, is at risk of being postponed again due to the resurgence of coronavirus cases, German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung reported on Thursday, citing party sources. The party congress was initially supposed to take place on 25 April in Berlin but then postponed indefinitely in mid-March and eventually rescheduled for 4 December in Stuttgart. It was decided to rescind the congress from the normal three days to just one. The participants will be given special gadgets that […]
Two local politicians from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the ruling party in Uttar Pradesh, have defended the accused in a recent alleged gang rape of a young girl in Hathras. A former BJP legislator even held a meeting defending the accused, while another blamed the deceased victim, saying she might have had an affair with one of the accused. India’s main opposition party Congress has said the alleged gang rape victim from Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras deserves justice and not slander. Reacting to the claim of a ruling BJP functionary that the young girl had an “affair” with the accused, Congress […]
India’s principal opposition party, Congress, has been attacking the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on multiple fronts. From organising protests against the gruesome murder of a lower-caste girl in BJP-governed Uttar Pradesh, to opposing farm laws, the sale of state firms, and the economic slowdown, the party has severely upped the ante. Congress Party politician P Chidambaram, who was also India’s former finance minister, has hit out at the Indian Finance Ministry for donning the role of the Health Ministry in making predictions about the pandemic curve. Questioning why the Finance Ministry is making predictions on COVID-19, which should be the job […]

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. But, after finding out he had the virus, which has killed more than 220,000 Americans to date, the Wisconsin Republican still chose to attend an Oktoberfest fundraising dinner that evening. Johnson, who didn’t reveal his diagnosis until Saturday, justified his behavior in comments to the Madison, Wisconsin Capital Times by saying he only took his mask off when it was time to address the crowd. He also insisted that he was “at least 12 feet from anybody” during his speech at the event, which was sponsored by the Ozaukee County Republican […]
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by UK Labour Party lawmaker Chris Bryant, who credited the politician for easting political tensions amid violent protests across the US. “When American cities have been in flames and citizen has been pitched against citizen, Joe has been a calming influence to bear,” Bryant reportedly said Monday. “When others have resorted to violent solutions, he has argued that the best force is the force of argument because guns can stop a heart, but well-placed words can change many hearts, and many hearts can change the world.” The nomination […]
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) conceded on Sunday that Republicans were being hypocritical on their push to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett before the election, insisting that whatever party is in power will “do what they think is right.” With Republicans rushing to get the Supreme Court seat left open by liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death filled just weeks ahead of the November election, the GOP has faced backlash and charges of hypocrisy for citing the 2016 election as the reason they held up Merrick Garland’s nomination. Interviewing Kennedy on Fox News Sunday, guest host Brit Hume brought up […]

In light of the unfurling Epstein scandal, which has cost the Duke of York his reputation among other top figures, a royal biographer believes Andrew’s loss of his HRH title is only a matter of time. Prince Andrew will be effectively excluded from his father Prince Philip’s 100th birthday next year over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal for the “survival of the monarchy”, according to his biographer Nigel Cawthorne, the author of Prince Andrew, Epstein and the Palace, as cited by Newsweek.

And yet, last Friday, more than two dozen people gathered in the driveway of WSU Head Women’s Basketball Coach Kamie Ethridge’s house for what she later described to police as a “mini block party.” An incident report from the evening in question, read to The Daily Beast […]
A movement calling to “defund the police” seeks to reduce the amount of financing for law enforcement and for the dismantling of police departments amid nationwide protests against racism and police brutality, sparked by the death of George Floyd in the United States.

Fed up with decades of two-party rule, hundreds of thousands of Americans tuned in for the People’s Convention, where they voted to form a new political alternative unbeholden to corporate power or the military-industrial complex. The event drew more than 400,000 viewers to its livestream on Sunday, organizers said. It continued to trend on Twitter through more than 5 hours of speeches that culminated in a vote to create a “major new corporate-free political party in America.” Among the speakers at the convention were several disgruntled Democrats, from Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 national co-chair Nina Turner to a candidate in this […]
One of the loudest and most aggressive conservative advocacy groups of the past decade is asking Americans to calm down and stop talking about politics, if only for a day. FreedomWorks, the libertarian outfit that rose to prominence through its hard-line opposition to Barack Obama, the Affordable Care Act, and the Republican establishment, has unveiled a new campaign that encourages Americans to tone down the rancorous political rhetoric. Dubbed “Celebrate Americans,” the initiative proposes setting aside Labor Day as a politics-free day of national harmony. It’s a message that most would expect to see from a kumbaya centrist organization like No […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): India’s main opposition party Congress is grappling with an internal crisis in view of rising demand for a complete overhaul of leadership and to revive and restructure the group. The party’s last full-time chief Rahul Gandhi resigned following the organisation’s debacle in the 2019 parliamentary elections. In a major development, interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi has made appointments to several positions in the party, in which dissenting leaders who suggested internal reforms have been “largely ignored”, sources familiar with the development have revealed. While the party’s senior leader Jairam Ramesh, who was not part of the dissenting group, […]

New Delhi (Sputnik): Twenty-three prominent members of India’s main opposition Congress, who wanted sweeping changes, were snubbed by the core decision-making body of the party on Monday. In a resolution, the party rallied behind Sonia Gandhi, Interim President of Congress and her son Rahul Gandhi. A day after India’s Congress party warned 23 of its prominent members over demanding reforms and a change in the party leadership, a few of the dissenters claimed they had actually acted in the “best interest of the party”.

New Delhi (Sputnik): India’s Congress party, which has been associated with the national freedom movement, is now in dire straits over leadership issues. Since 2014, when the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party swept general elections, the Congress has been reduced to an abysmal tally in the Parliament and also lost power in several major states. Nearly 23 senior Congress members and lawmakers have written to the party’s interim chief Sonia Gandhi, urging her to consider the complete overhaul of the party leadership. In the letter, the members of the party stated that the “uncertainty” over the leadership demoralises the cadre and has […]
Actress and #MeToo pioneer Rose McGowan has continued an all-out assault on the Democratic Party, sparring with liberal celebrities over 2020 presidential pick Joe Biden and the Dems’ progressive bonafides. McGowan launched a fresh offensive on Friday night, picking up from a rapid-fire tweet session the day prior – in which the actress dubbed the party “frauds,”“monsters” and “the lie.” She first tangled with Biden backer and fellow actress Alyssa Milano, who responded to McGowan’s earlier tweet storm with a thread outlining how the Democrats had “[made] the world a better place.” Milano’s thread did not go over well, with McGowan […]
KOKTEBEL (Sputnik) – Koktebel Jazz Party founder Dmitry Kiselev suggested on Friday reviving certain traditions as part of the festival, including those involving nudists. “Koktebel implies a certain free spirit.

Since then, there has been a nudist tradition here, it passed through the Soviet era and has been preserved until now. There is a special spirit here, in Koktebel, a special attitude to the body”, Kiselev said […]
Thursday night’s Democratic National Convention ended with Joe Biden accepting his party’s nomination with what may be the best speech of his presidential run: an electric call to action, profound acknowledgement of our nation’s grief, and as close to a “mad as hell” moment as we’ve seen from him as he pledged to lead our country into a stronger, safer, and sane new chapter. It was shortly thereafter that this purported chapter began, with Zooey Deschanel and a Property Brother doing a comedy bit as a warm-up act to Diplo DJ-ing a virtual dance party in front of a White House […]

Wednesday was a night of reminding the American people what the Democratic Party stands for—and what Donald Trump doesn’t. Since the president of the United States stands for nothing except himself, and earlier in the day endorsed QAnon because they like him, it was not so hard for Democrats to remind the American people that they actually want to do things for the country besides jail children and let the blue states die. It was a night of Democrats making the case for immigrant’s rights, gun safety, action on climate change, and fighting domestic violence. Not every one of these convention […]

Winning candidates often receive a congratulatory message from an incumbent president.

The primary win will likely guarantee her a seat in Congress since it is a ‘blue’ district, demographically favoring the Democratic Party over the Republicans. The outgoing Lacy Clay was first elected in 2000, right after his father Bill retired following thirty-two years of […]

Conveniently enough, Crowe recalled, “Nobody else was talking to him.” “Ivanka [Trump] came in,” Crowe said. “So that gave me the opportunity to have a very long conversation with Ivanka’s husband.” Kidman’s response?
