Holborn and St Pancras By-Election: Why You Should Bet Against Labour Mon Sep 07, 2026 15:00 | Mark Littlewood
Labour are odds-on to hold Holborn and St Pancras ? but the Greens at 2/1 look tempting, particularly if it?s held after the Budget, and a four-way split isn?t out of the question, says Mark Littlewood.

Greenland?s Icecap Grew This Year Mon Sep 07, 2026 11:00 | Paul Homewood
Greenland's icecap is doing just fine, says Paul Homewood. It's still much larger than it has been for most of the last 10,000 years and if it is shrinking at all, it is doing so no faster than a century ago.

Ten Examples of Foreign Funding on the Left Mon Sep 07, 2026 07:00 | Charlotte Gill
Channel 4 exposed Reform's foreign donors. But what about Soros, Bloomberg, Omidyar and Swedish philanthropists bankrolling Labour MPs and Left-wing activist groups? The hypocrisy is staggering, says Charlotte Gill.

Socialist Youth -V- Young PDs

For the last few weeks new dialysis patients in Limerick have had to travel all the way to Kilkenny, Tullamore, Trallee and Galway in order to get treated. This involves a two hour drive there and another two hours back at least 3 times a week.

On Saturday the 21st of July there will be a debate in Limerick between Socialist Youth and the Young PDs. A key part of that debate will be the ongoing health crisis nationally, the dialysis crisis here in Limerick and the governments ‘co-location’ and privatisation plans.

Cian Prendiville a member of Socialist Youth said “This crisis in Limerick shows the true causes of the wider health care crisis: a chronic lack of facilities, staff and investment by this government”.

As well as this there is an ongoing problem with A&E, waiting lists and people having to stay on trolleys. Socialist Youth have recently been out campaigning in Limerick attacking what they called “PD Syndrome”. This, there material stated, was “stealth privatisation and for-profit health care”.

Add to this the fact that Socialist Youth want a comprehensive public health service and oppose co-location whilst the Young PDs are in favour of co-location and private health care. It promises to be an interesting debate!

The debate is on at 1pm upstairs in Riddlers bar on Sarsfield St and is part of ‘RESISTANCE’, a forum for young people being hosted by Socialist Youth.

With a chance to challange the government's privatisation agenda

Also discussions on Climate Change, Global Poverty, Che Guevara and Latin America Today
