Many of us have the same problem George.

Ed Miliband's 'Confused' Leadership Savaged By Labour MP George Mudie




 MP George Mudie



George Mudie said,"I have difficulty knowing what we stand for now.". Coming from a former Minister who shared the responsibility for the disaster of New Labour, Mudie now shares, along with thousands of others, that sense of disbelief and anger that a once  great political movement, can have degenerated into a quasi "Tory" party squabbling with the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives for the "centre ground" of British politics. Anyone looking for leadership or social vision from Ed Milliband or the Labour party will be sadly disappointed. The Labour party of today, particularly the parliamentary party, has become too comfortable with its position within the "establishment" and too complacent in its belief that, sooner or later, they will be returned to government as the wheel of political fortune completes another cycle.
The mirage of Labour becoming a truly representative force for its traditional supporters under Milliband or for that matter any other leader, is just that, a mirage. Labour has deserted its traditional values, in social justice, in protection of workers rights, in curbing the excesses of businesses and industry and it has even descended to voting with the Condem coalition or abstaining on votes crucial to sections of our society. There is no commitment to repealing or reversing the pernicious effects of the current governments drive to impose austerity on the country or to further expand their disastrous "privatisation" plans for vast swathes of industry and our NHS. 
George Mudie said,"I have difficulty knowing what we stand for now." Well George, some of us have had that same problem for decades.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
