A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1All I can say is SIPTU is a disgrace.
Why haven't ICTU taken action against them, or the Left disowned them.
At long last what we had to put up with at the Belfast Docks is being exposed.
A recent article in North Belfast News states that the present day union officials are bemused at why the Dublin Leadeship won't support Billy Brown, Arthur Rafferty and all the other Dockers dying from asbestosis.
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE.
The union ORDERED us Dockers to discharge this deadly cargo.
WHY will the SOCIALISTS down there in Dublin not COMMENT on this corruption.
BY their SILENCE are they saying we deserved to be persecuted.
I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY, THE LABOUR PARTY OR THE SOCIALIST PARTY TO HEAR THEIR OPINION ON THIS CORRUPT TRADE UNION.
IN the case of a CORRUPT TRADE UNION to remain SILENT is not an option to supposed followers of Larkin and Connolly.
siptu are a joke and dont deserve the name of trade union. sure down here in the south they have signed up to a pay agreement which in real terms sees the worker lose money. i put that to one of their reps last week and he said it was the membership who said yes and that the leadership were'nt for it. they negotiated it, then put it to the membership and now are washing their hands of it. the stories i've heard around the sites in dublin would make a crook blush. they are too cosy with employers and are in serious need of new leadership.
getting back to the article in question, fair play to all involved. it's a hard road you have travelled and hopefully the old bastards who stitiched you up get their just desserts.
As a member of Atgwu if my union forms an alliance with Siptu I and many of my friends will leave. I don't know what sort of union Siptu is to treat dying members this way.
Because of their actions everything what Hugh Murphy and Arthur Rafferty is saying about the union CORRUPTION must be true.
Also why would Mick O;Reilly not meet Arthur Rafferty.
I was all for Partnership at the start but had I realiased what it could lead to I would have been against it. Who instructed ITGWU 30 YEARS AGO to enter Partnership with the Belfast employers and to sack union members.
The Siptu officials can't say what was done in Belfast was corrupt when they've done it themselves down here.
WE WILL LEAVE IF WE JOIN WITH SIPTU.
