If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

There's been a bigger scandal over a BBC documentary about the horrors inflicted by Israel against Palestinian children, over an irrelevant detail, than the horrors inflicted by Israel against Palestinian children.

There must be millions of socialists who are disappointed that the current Labour Party are not leading us back into the EU. The Greens are offering as a Core Commitment, Full Membership As Soon As Possible. On this point alone, they’ll get my vote. One must have an objective rather than hope. You?
