  • Channel Crossing Crisis? We Have A Crisis Of Humanity

    We are denying this right to thousands of individuals, some of whom are fleeing from wars we started, fleeing from communities we destroyed, and fleeing traumatic experiences that we ourselves instigated. We have a responsibility, this isn’t a refugee crisis, it is a humanity crisis and it’s time we took action.

  • How can we be a civilised society while allowing homelessness to fester?

    Homelessness is all our problem, it is an issue that effects us all. Whether directly through being on the streets ourselves, or indirectly through the society which we call our own. You would think a problem of this magnitude would require a society wide effort to solve. Yet time and again we have been left

  • The media don’t care about Venezuela, they care about attacking Corbyn.

    I’m no expert on Venezuela, I wouldn’t even call myself a layman when it comes to Venezuelan politics, but I’m shocked at the speed so many political commentators seem to have become one. Let alone the fact Corbyn is somehow responsible for it all, and now must write an apology in his own blood, while

  • DUP feast on the fruit of the money tree, while public sector workers starve.

    They cheered and whooped with delight as they denied a better standard of living to the overworked nurses, to the stressed out police officers and brave firefighters. Remember these words: “I would like to thank the brave men and women of our emergency services,” clearly that thanks from Theresa May didn’t extend to providing them

  • Northampton Borough Council has shown complete and utter contempt for the chamber, the position and most importantly the people of Northampton, as they spend their last full meeting before the elections patting themselves on the back and electioneering. They seem to have forgotten the problems facing the administration, and will face up until the time

  • A campaign recently launched in Northampton called “Kill with Kindness” (yes that is its real name), has the aim of encouraging people not to be kind to homeless people. It declares that homeless people are drunks and drug addicts and by giving them money you are therefore feeding their habits and killing them. It declares

  • Left Unity’s internal elections are fast approaching, the yearly elections we have to stop the kind of cult worship, and long standing power-grabs that can and have existed in the past. I would encourage everyone to get actively involved, the more new people we can get standing for positions the better, but not only do

  • Our conference has been and gone, but our commitment to a new kind of politics should be as strong as the fire from whence it came. It is great we have made it to our one year mark but the journey we set out on is far from complete, the masterpiece we are carving out

  • Our year anniversary approaches and what a year it has been! A massive thank you is in order to everyone that has supported us this far. We are new to the Northampton political scene but we have been at its forefront, and we may still be finding our feet but it is safe to say

  • All power to the regions!

    The Left Unity project is as ambitious as they come, a work in progress that will never be completed as long as there are those willing to fight for a new kind of politics. Our party is attempting to do away with the outdated and the archaic defunct structures of the past, structures which ultimately
