“Where I think the party fails is that there is no serious examination of problems that will be encountered under socialism, particularly in the short term, such as getting resources to poor countries, and how to create alternatives in areas where dangerous work will no longer be done. Which, for what it is worth, is one of the reasons why I left the party.”
Strangest reason for leaving the Party I’ve heard. If that’s the only problem, why not rejoin?
I can’t see the advert on page 3, nor can I see the letter referred to on the letters’ page. Is this the right edition of the newspaper?
Yes, it’s like looking into a crystal ball. Who even knows if Reform will still be a force in the next election and won’t go the same way as the SDP did in he 80s?
Means to be religious, I know. But not a bad call for people to make an effort of the imagination.
Elvis. If I can dream.
“The war in Ukraine is a trial of strength between the Western capitalist bloc and the Russia capitalist state. Naturally, socialists don’t take sides in such a war and are wary of the propaganda of the rulers of the state they live under.”
How can anyone argue with that? But that doesn’t take anything away from the fact that the Russian regime is especially and horribly repressive. If anyone doubts that, they need only listen to the recent Radio 4 Book of the Week serialisation of Navalny’s memoir. Okay, Navalny wasn’t a paragon, but the way he was crushed underfoot by Putin and the Russian state is something to behold.Probably not a good idea to write Starmer offf or to assume that Farage will get any further than he’s already got.
