Keir Starmer has claimed that Brexit created the small boats crisis and the migrant boats should be called 'Farage boats'. This is nonsense, says David Barrett, and even Oxford University's Migration Observatory agrees.

Supporters coming from Limerick, Clare, Galway, Sligo, Mayo, Kildare, Meath, Wexford and Waterford gathered outside the department with a huge banner reading ‘Ban Fur Farming in Ireland Now!’ others held placards with a picture of a fox’s face with the tagline ‘Your Fur Had A Face’. The supporters were also joined by another ARAN member holding a body screen TV showing live footage of a recent investigation into fur farming in China where no animal welfare laws exist, the footage was heartbreaking but made people who seeing the footage more eager to double their efforts to stop this animal suffering. Six Animal Rights Action Network volunteers also posed for photographers wearing blindfolds whilst holding signs reading ‘Minister Mary Coughlan: Ban Fur Farming in Ireland’.

Democracy Iranian style: you are not allowed to stand for election if the Iranian Regime doesnt like your opinions! Under the Iranian political system, potential candidates are vetted twice, once by the interior ministry and the second time by the Guardian Council, which is made up of Islamic clerics. Full report at the link from the well known Pro US Propagandists Al Jazeera.

The Iranian government has barred more than 2,000 prospective candidates from contesting in forthcoming parliamentary elections, in effect removing the biggest rival to hardliners in power.

Most of those disqualified were seeking democratic changes within Iran's ruling Islamic government led by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president. read full story / add a comment

One of the more bizarre claims made at the SWP UK Conference was that Lindsay German would be elected to the Greater London Assembly. The report below covers the conference and pre-conference discussions. More at the url.

Respect is alive and well, and the politics we pursued proved to be correct. That is the pathetic message the SWP leaders want people, including their own members, to believe. Yes, John Rees, Lindsey German, Alex Callinicos, Chris Bambery and Martin Smith treat the working class with barely concealed contempt. Under their post-Tony Cliff regime the SWP has not only adopted Joseph’s Stalin’s popular front politics, but also the same utterly cynical attitude towards the truth. SWP conferences are run along Stalinist lines too. Socialist Worker boasts of the January 5-6 gathering: “An overwhelming majority supported the way the party had conducted itself during the Respect crisis” (January 12).

The situation in Palestine is absolutely desperate. What’s going to happen next? Is it any hope of uniting all the Palestinian factions against occupation? Are the Israel zionist trying to force a massive exode of Palestinians to Egypt? What role is playing the Annapolis agreement on all of this situation?

In the wake of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences Bill) 2006; as amended in 2007,
two expert committees were set up to look at :- The issue of consent , to which interest groups
were invited to make submission; and in the wake of that a committee was set up under the
chairmanship of Mary O Rourke (Senator) to look at amending the Constitution.

Latest news on the issue of Protection is that the State may postpone the Referendum
now until 2009, because they do not (nor do the opposition) want the two Referenda
to coincide and create confusion for the voter. The Government had discussed holding
a referendum on Protection on the same day as the Lisbon Treaty Vote. read full story / add a comment
