Quoting un named sources, is a discredited and shabby basis for a story.

Resignation of Labour fixer sparks new power struggle between Jeremy Corbyn and moderate MPs

Following hard on the heels of the "Independent" non story of yesterday, 7th November 2015, (Corbyn's lodger writes Science stories for the MailOnline as a freelance journalist and all that garbage), today's "Independent" spews out yet another anti Corbyn slanted "story", about Wes Ball MP, resigning at the end of the year, as PLP secretary. The "Independent" even has to explain who Mr Ball is, using the description, "is highly rated by MPs" to justify a sensationalist headline of, "Resignation of Labour fixer sparks new power struggle between Jeremy Corbyn and moderate MPs".
Using yet another un named "senior party source" for its thin story line, this article seeks to generate alarm and despondency amongst the readers, who it seems, are perceived by the editorial staff if this "newspaper", to be little more than mindless receptacles for any anti Corbyn, anti Labour propaganda that Amol Rajan (no doubt under the guidance of the proprietors), instructs his "journalists" to write. We must assume that sooner or later the quoting of "un named sources" or "anonymous senior party officials" or "contacts close to" whoever, will be recognised by the "Independent" and the other media as an overworked and now discredited means of making a "story" more acceptable as fact.
Whether or not a "power struggle will take place at the beginning of next year remains to be seen, but sadly we can rely on the "Independent" finding scraps of whispers amongst the other sewage in the bin then trying to convert it into a credible feature (and failing miserably).

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

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
