As AIPAC Spends Millions to Oust Him, Massie Unveils Bill Requiring Pro-Israel Lobby to Register as Foreign Agent

As the Israel lobby attempts to end his political career, the Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced a bill that would require lobbyists working for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, commonly known as AIPAC, to register as foreign agents.

The bill, known as the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity (AIPAC) Act, would amend the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (FARA), which requires those working to influence government policy on behalf of a foreign power to register with the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

Pressure on Starmer Mounts as Dozens of Labour Lawmakers Call on Him to Quit

Dozens of Labour Party lawmakers called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign on Monday, effectively rejecting their leader’s efforts to quell a mutiny in the party ranks and raising the likelihood of a bruising leadership battle.

Mr. Starmer began the day with a speech he hoped would quiet the brewing rebellion, acknowledging the anger expressed by voters last week when they overwhelmingly rejected Labour Party candidates in elections across England, Scotland and Wales.

Starmer under pressure, as Labour suffers heavy elections losses

The results in England, Scotland and Wales have piled pressure on Sir Keir, with some Labour MPs calling for him to set a timetable for his departure, although his cabinet allies have backed him for now.

Labour has lost power in Wales, ending its 27 year-long rule, while the SNP appears likely to remain the largest party in Scotland.

Reform UK has been the big winner in England, picking up more than 1,400 seats and taking control of councils in areas where Labour and the Conservatives have been historically dominant.

Viktor Orbán gesteht Wahlniederlage gegen Rivalen Péter Magyar ein

Péter Magyar, Vorsitzender der TISZA-Partei, teilte in einem Beitrag auf seiner Social-Media-Seite mit, dass der amtierende Ministerpräsident Viktor Orbán ihn angerufen habe, um ihm zu seinem Sieg bei den ungarischen Parlamentswahlen 2026 zu gratulieren.

Den ersten Ergebnissen zufolge hat die TISZA-Partei landesweit mit einem Erdrutschsieg gewonnen. Nach vier aufeinanderfolgenden Amtszeiten in der Regierung und nach 16 Jahren werden Fidesz und ihr Koalitionspartner, die KDNP, in die Opposition gehen.

11. Tag im Angriffskrieg Israels und der USA gegen den Iran (Ticker 08:00 Uhr)

Seit dem 9. März 2026 um 20 Uhr hat sich der Konflikt zwischen den USA, Israel und dem Iran weiter zugespitzt, wobei der Krieg nun in seinen zehnten Tag geht. Der Iran hat Mojtaba Khamenei, den Sohn des getöteten Obersten Führers Ali Khamenei, zum neuen Obersten Führer ernannt, was, wie vorausgesagt, eine Konsolidierung der Hardliner im Iran signalisiert. Hinter denen sich die Bevölkerung des Irans angesichts der Angriffe versammelt.

Assembly of Experts elects Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s third Leader

The statement said the Assembly of Experts moved quickly to select a successor despite acute wartime conditions, direct threats against the institution and the bombing of the Assembly’s secretariat offices, which it said resulted in the deaths of several staff members and security personnel.

According to the statement, the body began preparations for an extraordinary session immediately after news of the Leader’s martyrdom. It said arrangements were made to gather its members from across the country in order to ensure that the Islamic Republic would not face a leadership vacuum.

Under Iran’s constitution, the Assembly of Experts — an 88-member clerical body elected by popular vote — is responsible for selecting and overseeing the country’s Leader.

Corbyn set to lead Your Party in Commons after executive vote win

(February 26, 2026)

JEREMY CORBYN is set to be named parliamentary leader of Your Party after the election of its first central executive, with a mission to get the troubled party “back on track.”

Candidates endorsed by the For the Many slate, backed by Mr Corbyn, won 14 of the 24 seats on the executive.

The party’s other co-founder, Zarah Sultana, was herself elected, but the Grassroots Left slate she endorsed had only seven candidates elected, all of them women.

Announcing: The Socialist Leadership Programme

In Your Party, we have to do things differently. That’s why The Many is announcing the Socialist Leadership Programme: If we are elected to Your Party’s Central Executive Committee, we will establish this programme to identify, educate and train a new generation of working-class socialist leaders.

These are leaders who will represent the full breath of our coalition: Old and young, from all faiths and none, and from every corner of Britain. Leaders built up not from Westminster and the professional political class, but from community campaigns, workplace struggles, and social movements. Leaders who won’t just posture, but will build real power.

How Do We Beat the Far Right? With Unity

We need an alternative – and this requires more than just a different policy position. It requires a new kind of politics: one that harnesses the unifying power of solidarity to defeat the divisive tactic of scapegoating. One that unites working class people in all their diversity and empowers communities to wage campaigns where they live and work. One that stops treating politics as something that is done to people – and starts treating politics as something that is done by people.

This imperative led to the birth of Your Party. The surge of community-based victories in recent years – from the remarkable success of independent candidates in the 2024 general election, to the blossoming of local community independent groups in councils all over the country – demonstrated a demand for an alternative to the failed establishment politics.
