All socialists in Britain should join Labour
I’m calling – not for the first time – for all socialists in Britain to join Labour. Nobody has any legitimate excuse not to do this; certainly not the alleged impossibility of a parliamentary road to socialism, the equally impossible … Continue reading
Nicola Sturgeon fights GCHQ spies to protect democracy across the entire planet
I had assumed that Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon would have taken it as a given that GCHQ and NSA are spying on everything she does, just as they do Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande, Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott, … Continue reading

Why I may contest Douglas Alexander’s seat in next May’s general election
Not for the first time, I tweeted yesterday that I’m considering standing as an independent in next May’s general election. I was surprised to discover that this tweet was being retweeted. For the sake of clarity, I explained that I’m … Continue reading
