Bengal Polls: RSS Eyeing ‘New’ Hindu Votes to Give BJP an Edge
A major concern for the BJP brass is that they do not have a cohesive, active state organisation. Despite several interventions by the central leadership, deficiencies persist in the party’s state unit and intra-party differences have made cohesive functioning a far cry.

Poor and migrants bear brunt of south east Asia earthquake
Authorities say that so far at least 1,700 people are known to have died, but many more are unaccounted for. And there is enormous danger for the living, particularly those at quake’s epicentre, Mandalay–Myanmar’s second city. Many now homeless people have been forced to sleep in the open and while the military regime remains focused on fighting its four-year civil war against democracy activists.

The new minimum wage is still far from being a real living wage
ON TUESDAY, April 1, more than three million workers get an increase in the statutory minimum wage which increases up to £1,400 for a 35-hour working week. In an ambiguously worded statement, the Chancellor said the increase marked “a significant step” in achieving the election manifesto pledge of a “genuine living wage for working people.” In real cash terms the 6.7 per cent rise will mean people on the top rate — for young people, apprentices etc the minimum wage is set at a lower level (ie below the wage needed to live on) — will get an extra 77 pence an hour to provide £12.21. There is an element of wilful obfuscation about the distinction between the national minimum wage and the living wage.

Stopping Marine Le Pen From Running Is a Bad Idea
No one is above the law, and the court could not rule based on Le Pen’s personal popularity. But banning candidates from running for office due to financial crimes is highly dubious. The damaging effect on the democratic choice seems out of proportion to the crime in question, and (even coupled with a €2 million fine) is ineffective in punishing the party. As left-wing party France Insoumise pointed out in a statement, the Rassemblement National’s claim to be uniquely “clean” and stand against a corrupt establishment is in tatters. But that is for the electorate to judge. France Insoumise added that it had never sought to “use the courts as a means of defeating the Rassemblement National,” but instead relied on “popular mobilization of the French people.”

What is Esencia and What Will Happen to Puerto Rico if This is Constructed?
Esencia is a massive $2 billion colonial development project aiming to seize over 2,000 acres of land, spanning three miles of beaches in Punta Melones, Cabo Rojo, by 2028. The United States has long justified its imperial presence in Puerto Rico under the guise of “progress” and “development.” With the complicity of a local government that prioritizes U.S. interests, policies like Act 60—which grants foreign investors the ability to evade local and federal taxes—serve Puerto Rico on a silver platter to wealthy developers, speculators, and those eager to claim and exploit a slice of “paradise.” While Puerto Ricans face life-threatening austerity measures, the federal and local governments turn Puerto Rico into a neoliberal playground for foreigners. “Development” comes at the expense of Puerto Ricans’ lives, and their access to land, coasts, and cultural patrimony; it impedes their ability to work, thrive, and simply remain in the place they are from. “Development,” moreover, disregards the natural environment and the disruption of fragile ecosystems. For these projects, non-human life is reduced to a resource to be extracted.

Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Guiffre ‘has days to live’ after ‘car crash’
Sex trafficking victim Virginia Guiffre has claimed she has ‘four days to live’ after being hit by a bus.

The woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, and who has also accused Prince Andrew, shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed coverered in bruises.

Bidding farewell to her loved ones ones, mum-of-three Ms Guiffre wrote on Instagram: ‘This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.

‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. ST in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be st at the end of the day.

‘Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia’.



She did not share further details of the reported crash or where it occurred.
