The old definitions of Britain’s working class no longer apply. Manual labour is out — and Deliveroo drivers are in. Peter Bach 👇buff.ly/3knTfUc

What’s urgently needed in Sudan are ceasefires and protected corridors. Civilians and aid must be shielded under international supervision. Humanitarian missions need protection. Assaults on aid convoys should be treated as war crimes. counterpunch.org/2025/07/17/sud…

Across continents, cricket has been a stage for protest, resistance, and pride—a tool of exclusion, and later, of course, unity. In much of the postcolonial world, it’s not just a sport: it’s memory, defiance, identity. counterpunch.org/2025/07/10/why…

This story keeps giving—which is why we keep returning. In the end, this isn’t just about posties or parcels. It’s about what a country lets go of, and who’s left holding the letter when no one’s left to deliver it. counterpunch.org/2025/07/03/the…

How I enjoyed visiting the now late great Sandy Gall at the ITN building and drinking whisky with him before he went on air and I would eventually go to Afghanistan. My condolences to his family.

Horrific night in the West Bank: Israeli settlers are currently attacking the Christian village of Taybeh, near Ramallah—setting homes on fire and shooting at residents.

To understand this escalation, we have to return to 1953—the year the British and the CIA helped overthrow Iran’s elected government and install the Shah. counterpunch.org/2025/06/26/thi…

In an age where economic insecurity trumps—forgive the pun—ideology, Farage sees an opening. He’s long mastered grievance politics and now bets that worker dissatisfaction could further fuel his irrefutable rise. counterpunch.org/2025/06/19/ref…

you begin somewhere to cry the murmur of life but I will end I burn I’ll be that extinguished star In your sky like smoke From The Extinguished Star by Iranian poet Parnia Abbasi. She died aged 23 with her family in an Israeli attack in the Sattarkhan neighbourhood of Tehran.

In 1968, I was "that child...sitting inches from the TV screen as Bobby Charlton held aloft the European Cup." Footie lover @bach_peter laments corporate sport, as do we all. Jumpers for goalposts, as Ron Manager used to recall.
