Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.

Mark.
as a public servant without the right to strike or protest (Army/Garda) i see where you are coming from but i doubt there will be much sympathy from the public. I myself worked as an apprentice in the boom times, qualified in my trade and made "serious" money in the many jobs i worked at in the "private sector". I decided to move into the public service for job security and a genuine "graw" for military/garda work. I went down to earning £100 a week for 18 months wile training and now earn €40,000 per year..gross. I earned a consideable ammount more while working in the private sector !! Im not complaining... my decision !!! I gave up my job in the private sector for a genuine want to create a career in the army/gardai, and now, suddently we are made feel like we should loose our jobs just because other people are loosing their jobs.... thats just blind begrudgery !!!!! The army and gardai were crying out for recruits during the boom times... they could'nt get them.... because it was crap money for a crap job... AT THE TIME !! How the mood has changed!!!! I am prepared to take the pain of a wage cut as i feel i need to make a contibution.. not to the govenment.. but to the people who are loosing their jobs all over the country... please dont begrudge people in the public service their jobs.... it was our choice at the time... you had a choice too !!!!!!!!
This paycut is appalling. The country needs its good teachers and medical staff now more than ever. There are a number of other meaures than must be taken; tighten the requirements for dole pay particulary on foreign workers, and more important penalise those bankers and mortgage lenders who have knowingly misled the public and consequently created this disaster. Take a lesson from the Freanch, take to the streets and dont give in!
The head of Boi has announced he's cutting his own salary by 50%: he now only makes 1.5 million euro. This is the spirit of solidarity that Biffo called for.
I AM A FULL TIME PUBLIC SECTOR WORKER WITH 2 KIDS EARNING €32000 A YEAR HAVING TO PAY FOR A €300,000 MORTGAGE AND RUN A CAR AND PAY FOR CHILDCARE. I CANT AFFORD TO TAKE ANOTHER PAY CUT. WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED FOR OTHERS MISTAKES. IM NOT EARNING €50,000 A YEAR LIKE OTHERS HIGHER IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. DURING THE BOOM WHEN I HAD TO BUY MY HOUSE PEOPLE WERE THROWING AWAY MONEY WHEN MY WAGE NEVER INCREASED
