Why, or even how, is Tony Blair still a member of the Labour party? Good party members have been suspended or even expelled from the party for doing or saying less than this former Prime Minister continues to preach to any newspaper or television outlet prepared to give him time and space. In yet another of his never ending interventions in the press this time the Observer followed by an interview with Sophy Ridge on Sky television, he grudgingly concedes that he will vote Labour in the European elections on 23 May, but then goes on to urge Labour supporters put off by the party's "equivocation" to vote for one of the "unequivocal Remain parties" - the Lib Dems, Change UK, Greens, Scottish National Party or Plaid Cymru. He rounds off the extraordinary intervention with his usual attack on Jeremy Corbyn, which of course the Observer and Sky News particularly are always keen to emphasise. Some Labour party MP's will of course, welcome another broadside against Corbyn and some Labour party members will also be lapping up more messages from the man many regard as their messiah. However there are those who recognise and remember the damage that Blair and his small cabal did to the Labour party and find his endless exposure in the press and in the media, as just fodder for those who wish for a return to the "good old days" of Blair, Mandelson, Campbell and Brown.
He should be suspended at least if not expelled as he is bringing the Labour party into disrepute.

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

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.

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
