Wanted: Climate Researcher to Write Extreme Weather Just-So Stories to Serve Up to Credulous Media Wed Jul 24, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Porsche Scraps Electric Car Targets as Demand Slumps Tue Jul 23, 2024 19:43 | Will Jones
Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Jane loftus voted for the deal against the wishes of the SWP
She has now been expelled.
The SWP are ardent opponents of the sell out.

The same cannot be said of the SP

There is no mention of Jane Loftus having been expelled from the SWP at the link you give.
When was she expelled?
And who did the expelling?
Presumably there was some sort of process?
What exactly is the point of your post? Are you trying to defend the swp, in some round about way?
Maybe I'm not getting this, but as far as I can tell, in an attempt to rescue the swp from the humiliation of having one of it's members vote against it's wishes in the CWU. You tell us that Jane loftus has since been expelled for her actions (which is in many ways a far worse crime, for a supposeedly democratic organisation). I really don't know what says more about the swp as a political party. The fact that one of it's members voted against it's wishes, or the fact that ,that same member was expelled for doing such a thing.
Then again the swp leadership have always been very trigger happy when it comes to expulsions!
It says here she resigned.
The SWP should come out openly and inform people what happened. I think that her action in voting to accept a rotten deal was dispicable and obviously completely against what the SWP stands for. I do not have a problem with her being held to account - she needs to be. The trouble is the way the SWP leadership has dealt with it - in a behind the scenes way that does nothing except feed rumours.
As usual CPGB is wrong as are the SWP leadership. The decision to call off the strike was a correct decision. Read about it here:

Union members at British Airways have voted to take strike action.
The industrial action will take place over 12 days from 22 December to 2 January.
This is the first walkout by British Airways cabin crew since 1997.
The action could affect up to one million air travellers.
