British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

The SP, Direct Action and Strike Action

Report this post to the editors

The SP claim that they are committed to winning workers over to taking strike action against the war. They have directly counterposed this to Direct Action. However the SP did not participate in the anti war lobby on the ICTU Conference on Wednesday.

The SP claim that they are committed to winning workers over to taking strike action against the war. They have counterposed this to Direct Action. However the SP did not participate in the anti war lobby on the ICTU Conference on Wednesday.

They also voted against having any such lobby when this was proposed at the IAWM meeting on Sunday. Instead of explaining their inaction, the SP have sent out anonymous fools to carry out personal attacks on people who raise this issue.

Is it possible to get a rational response from the SP?

Are they committed to acheiving strike action against the war? If so why are they opposed to lobbying the ICTU SDC?

There were 400 trade union activists from all over the country present at this conference. Surely this was an ideal time and location to raise the issue od industrial action against the war.

Why did the SP oppose this?
