There Has Been a Failure Here Wed Jan 22, 2025 13:01 | Dr David McGrogan
What we have seen in Starmer since July is a petty, inhumane, almost spiteful man who considers himself morally superior to the mass of humanity. This, says Dr David McGrogan, was confirmed in spades yesterday.

Prevent Isn?t Preventing Wed Jan 22, 2025 09:00 | Charlotte Gill
"You?ll never be wasting our time," reads the Prevent poster. So why did the anti-extremism programme fail to stop the Southport killer, who had been referred to it three times? He's not the only one, says Charlotte Gill.

Trump Withdrawing From the Paris Climate Agreement May be an Epoch Defining Event Wed Jan 22, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement feels like an epoch defining event. Yes he did it before, says Ben Pile, but this time is different. The world now is waking up to the folly of Net Zero.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Are the ICTU supposed to be non-party political? If so why do they only participate in Labour organised events. or was this and ICTU youth event to which only Labour Youth were invited.
Surely ICTU should play a role in working with all parties of the left not just one???
Well done to all who are supporting Joanne. From Dublin,Derry,Belfast and now Cork the protests are spreading.
Just to clarify this weekends information pickets at the Ashleaf as posted in the events notices and referred to above are been organised by the Joanne Delaney Support Group.and all who support Joanne are encouraged to attend.
The Support Group has a broad base and is comprised of Joanne herself, members of her family, local residents,Mandate,trade unionists, and individual members of various political groups including CWAG,WP,SP,SWP,ISN,SFand LY.
Support the Ashleaf Protests
i agree with jim, ictu should turn up at events organised by other left groups as well and i'm sure they do. especially if they are invited. groups on the left should invite representatives from ictu youth to their youth events and representatives from the ictu womens committee to womens events.
many moons ago when i was secretary of ictu youth i even attended wp youth conferences on behalf of ictu (my politics were a bit different back i those days).

Friends,
I can say strongly that no members of ICTU youth were present at this event. The people invloved were all Labour activists. I know this because i called the protest in cork that evening and am standing on the right of the Photo.
Wether ICTU youht committee are non-political or not though i would be happy to hsve them attend any event i am involved with. We should not exclude ourselves from show's of strength because of petty politics when there are greater causes to be fighting!
Cheers,
