  • 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…

  • Just how long are we going to have to suffer because of an ill planned and ill equipped facility? The bus station just does not work, all it takes is one small mistake to happen somewhere, anywhere along a single bus route and then all hell breaks loose. The council need to act because as…

  • 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…

  • Labour: The New Party of the Right

    Can we stop pretending that Labour is a centre left party now? It seems with each passing week another right wing policy comes spewing forth from the Labour party machine, or even more farcically a selection of MPs falling over themselves to appear more right wing on the key debates of the day.
