Last minute rush to buy 'undervalued' Royal Mail shares as investors sense instant profit

The latest "rip off" privatisation sale for the benefit of Hedge funds, institutional investors and big business asset strippers. The privatisation of any industry is not for the taxpayers benefit or for the small scale investor, no matter what the Tory spin doctors and their propaganda machine may tell you.
In an interview on BBC News 24, Chuka Umunna, the shadow Business Secretary was less than enthusiastic in his support for the possibility of industrial action by the communication workers union in protest at the privatisation plans and the threats to their jobs in the industry. There was a time when Labour party MP's as well as party activists, were at the forefront in the defence of workers jobs and conditions.

Chuka Umunna

Chuka Umunna survived yesterdays shadow cabinet reshuffle. Notwithstanding the fact that Umunna was one of 73 Labour MP's who nominated Ed Miliband for the leadership of the Labour party, he has recently revealed that he has started meeting regularly with Tony Blair.Consequently it seems that

Blairites have put their faith in Chuka Umunna as a future party leader.

Clearly, his name should be on the list of Blairites to be purged at the next reshuffle.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
