WorldbyStorm - 11:54 Tue Nov 12, 2019 I?ve mixed but broadly positive views with regard to Greta Thunberg, not least positive because of the effect she seems to have on some. A further education lecturer I know tells me that in various groups they teach this year a number of middle aged men appear deeply triggered by Thunberg. I find that dynamic […]A
guestposter - 11:08 Tue Nov 12, 2019 We’re back looking for links/resources useful to the Left at Starkadders suggestion. This can be archives, support groups, study groups, whatever people think can assist in building up a stack of easily accessible tools necessary to the tasks ahead. Perhaps keep articles – unless they’re longform, to the What You Want to Say thread. And […]A
WorldbyStorm - 09:53 Tue Nov 12, 2019 About time. Labour is exploring plans to ban private jets from UK airports from as early as 2025 should it win the election, in the party?s latest broadside against the super-rich. After a report revealed carbon emissions from the sector equivalent to 450,000 cars each year, Andy McDonald, the shadow transport secretary, said that billionaire […]A
irishelectionliterature - 09:27 Tue Nov 12, 2019 There was a bit of fuss over the past day or so about Tweets from Fianna Fáil Dublin Fingal By-Election candidate Lorraine Clifford Lee. Whilst obviously I disagree with the content of the Tweets, one angle of the story was where it originated, the right wing anti choice website Gript. So the story appeared, was […]A
WorldbyStorm - 07:13 Tue Nov 12, 2019 Great news yesterday. Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has said he and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar should agree an ?orderly wind-down? of the deal underpinning the Government ahead of the general election. Mr Martin said an agreed conclusion would show that confidence and supply, the mechanism that sees his party facilitate the Fine Gael-led minority […]A
WorldbyStorm - 17:22 Mon Nov 11, 2019 Some differences of opinion on the meaning of Farage?s commitment to stand aside Brexit Party candidates for the Tories in 317 seats. As noted by others, that?s some party where Farage can dictate to his own candidates what they must do. But the effects appear to be to consolidate Tory support if not necessarily grow […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:22 Mon Nov 11, 2019 Two excellent points, to my mind, in the Irish Times letters pages this last week on the reunification debate, and in response to Stephen Collins dismissive approach to that debate the previous week. One from Professor Colin Harvey of QUB notes: Brexit, if it happens, means that Irish reunification is likely to be framed as […]A
WorldbyStorm - 09:24 Mon Nov 11, 2019 This is very useful, a poll tracker provided by the Guardian of the changing fortunes of the parties contesting the December General Election. Some interesting points from the off. The Tories are gaining strength, the Brexit Party losing it. So much for Farage’s ever more anxious efforts to project himself as relevant. The public is […]A
WorldbyStorm - 09:03 Mon Nov 11, 2019 Depressing to see the result of the latest election in Spain – one that saw the genuinely reactionary Vox sweep into third place in no small part off the back of the crisis in Catalonia. Any thoughts on where matters proceed from here.A
