No, says Neil Scott. The Corbyn project/party is a split in a London based party (new New new Labour) built around a London based interim leadership. It has become necessary because of a shift in politics that has spiralled out of the control of liberals in England. “Nationalist” capital, via Farage’s empty vessel, has radicalised […]
By Indybag The Scottish Left coming together is both premature, and to this Indy-lefty, a failure.There have been rumblings of a new vehicle for the ex-Rise and the SWP rump over the past few months, with meetings, cries and whispers.

DOON wi CORRUPT RULING CLASS DICTATORSHIP !!! By Dave Coull When some of us first heard aboot the idea of a non-party-political referendum on Scottish independence, we liked the sound of this; thinking, because of not being party-political, it could get a FAR higher turnout than any petty election of politicians ever could get.

But as Owen Jones says, they were what Starmer himself and his colleagues expected. “The Starmerite theory of power went like this: Britain’s problems were largely explained by a lack of leadership qualities at the top. Sir […]
September 2014 we were full of hope. Last trip to a pre-referendum rally in George square, and Folk, full of enthusiasm and certainty that Yes would take the vote, hugging and shaking hands, politely ushering strangers to the stage for a good view. Then a ripple down my spine, a reminder that this is a […]
