offsite link How Long is Andy Burnham Likely to Last? Thu Aug 13, 2026 13:00 | Mark Littlewood
Burnham has a bounce ? but with a budget crisis looming, Reform snapping at his heels and Labour restless, a 6/1 bet on him being gone by the end of 2027 looks tempting, says Mark Littlewood.

Defra?s brain-dead attachment to 'rewilding', not climate change, is to blame for England?s wildfires, says Ian Botham. Why has it ignored warnings from fire chiefs, scientists and its own officials?

The Great Barrier Reef has just recorded five years of near-record coral cover. AIMS data shows hard coral stable or rising across all zones. You won't read that in the Guardian, says Chris Morrison.

Why is Britain being pressed to pay reparations when the Ashanti Kingdom also profited from slavery? asks Steven Tucker. Given the record of some UK-based Ghanaians, shouldn't it be us demanding reparations from them?

OECD signals point of attack

category national | anti-capitalism | press release author Thursday November 05, 2009 23:56author by Saoirse - Republican Sinn Feinauthor email saoirse at iol dot ieauthor address 223 Parnell St, Dublin 1author phone 01 8729747 Report this post to the editors

Statement by the Vice President of Republican Sinn Féin Des Dalton

The OECD report on the 26 Counties signals that the point of attack for the political and financial elite will be public services and the most vulnerable in society. The report is a clear signal that workers, the unemployed, the sick, the elderly and the young will be those expected to bear the cost of propping up a corrupt and failed banking and economic system.

Working people are under attack and must act accordingly. Solidarity and mobilisation is required to drive the message home that people are not willing to accept such a barbaric attack on wages, pensions and benefits. Those who benefited least from the so-called ‘Celtic Tiger’ are those expected now to suffer the most. The orthodoxy of the political establishment is that services - which are the bench-mark of a civilised society - will be sacrificed in order to protect the bankers, the builders and the bosses.

Attacks on education, health, social services for the elderly, the disabled and the marginalised etc will leave a scar not only on this but on future generations.

Revolutionary change will not simply happen, we must make it happen. Republican Sinn Féin is calling on people to come out and support the ICTU day of action on November 6
