Rhys Williams Media Correspondent Friday 7 July 1995 The Sunday Times was forced into a humiliating climb-down at the High Court yesterday over its allegations that Michael Foot was considered an "agent of influence" by the KGB. The 81-year-old former Labour leader had sued the paper and its proprietor Rupert Murdoch over a three-page article last February, which - under the headline "KGB: Michael Foot was our agent" - detailed how the KGB had courted Labour politicians and trade union officials during the Sixties.

Young Italians face a 35 percent unemployment rate and lower standards of living than their parents – an entire generation hung out to dry by the technocratic, neoliberal administrations of recent years A new movement has sprung up in Italy called “Potere al Popolo” (Power to the People), taking inspiration from the new left in Europe, in particular, Momentum and the transformation of Labour under Jeremy Corbyn.
