Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is Wrong About the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act Tue Jul 30, 2024 09:00 | Dr Julius Grower
Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 6 5 4 3 2 1The Progressive: Are you replacing the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund as “Daddy Big Bucks”?
Chávez: I do wish that the IMF and the World Bank would disappear soon.
The Progressive: And it would be the Bank of Hugo?
Chávez: No. The International Humanitarian Bank. We are just creating an alternative way to conduct financial exchange. It is based on cooperation. For example, we send oil to Uruguay for their refinery and they are paying us with cows.
The Progressive: Milk for oil.
Chávez: That’s right. Milk for oil. The Argentineans also pay us with cows. And they give us medical equipment to combat cancer. It’s a transfer of technology. We also exchange oil for software technology. Uruguay is one of the biggest producers of software. We are breaking with the neoliberal model. We do not believe in free trade. We believe in fair trade and exchange, not competition but cooperation. I’m not giving away oil for free. Just using oil, first to benefit our people, to relieve poverty. For a hundred years we have been one of the largest oil-producing countries in the world but with a 60 percent poverty rate and now we are canceling the historical debt.

"Chavez is under attack by the US. The SWP are supporting the US Imperialist attack by giving a platform to a so called democrat. Do the SWP call for the overthrow of Chavez?"
Lord god almighty, are you even capable of reading? We're not allowed venture the suggestion that the shit of Hugo Chavez does not smell fragrant, in case it helps Washington? Rubbish. Anyone who bothers reading the quotes from Roland Denis above can see that he criticises Chavez from a radical left-wing stand-point, and there's probably something to be said for his criticisms. I'll be going along to the meeting in Dublin if I can make it. Maybe you should drop along too, you might learn something.

Great to see this meeting happening and fair play to the swp. Ive never seen swp sceptic or hypocrisy watch host a meeting with such a speaker. Until I do- best to ignore the whinging begrudgers. Well done to the swpers. Looking forward to the meeting.
Denis has been a persistent caller for participatory democracy and citizen power in Venezuela. And these talks are being sponsored by the SWP. Amazing. Any chance of the idea catching on in the SWP?
Great to see an activist speaking here who hasa revolutionary vision and plan for South America and a critique of any reformist tendency within the Chavez government. However why under the auspices of the SWP, who are hardly a grassroots revolutionary party in Ireland and have a tendency to destroy any grassroot organisations which do not conform to their narrow neo-stalinist tendencies.
Attend the meeting to hear what needs to be done and to give solidarity with the rising people of Venezuela.
Don't get fooled into joining the swp....who " seriously weaken ( any ) position" for the revolution which we surely need.
