In a January 17 speech, Bukele dismissed investing in education for gang members who've 'graduated from the university of crime,' pointing to El Salvador's homicide rate plummeting from 106 per 100,000 in 2015 to a record low 1.3 in 2025 after mass arrests of over 80,000 suspects and a massive prison. Supporters like Elon Musk and U.S. Senator Mike Lee praise the results as a model for safer streets, while critics from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch highlight arbitrary detentions, torture reports, and over 260 detainee deaths since 2022. Bukele's approach, followed by a quip about a pickpocket caught '3 Doritos later,' underscores his push for swift enforcement amid global divides on crime and rights.

Surrounded by security forces and seated prisoners, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele declared criminals beyond redemption by education—only force works.

John Smith led Labour from July 1992 until his sudden heart attack death on May 12, 1994, at age 55, boosting the party to double-digit poll leads with his dry wit, Christian faith, and traditional values. He sidelined modernizers like Mandelson, earning praise as the 'best prime minister we never had' and 'last honest leader' from voices across the spectrum. The nostalgia surges now as Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who briefly appointed then sacked Mandelson as US ambassador, faces resignation calls after his chief of staff quit over the hire. While most mourn a lost era of integrity, a few question if Smith's government would have endured longer than past short-lived Labour terms.

Key Takeaway

As fresh Epstein revelations force Peter Mandelson's resignation, a post recalls John Smith—the Labour leader who kept him at arm's length during his principled 22-month tenure.
