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.

An interesting and perhaps challenging argument for anarchists and maoists alike can be found at the Attack the System site
"In many ways I see aspects of Mao Tse Tung’s philosophy as being not only compatible with anarchism, but also offering new insights that are largely absent from contemporary anti-authoritarian discourse. Non-anarchist and even anti-anarchist works can be of tremendous value for anarchists; if we had to rely on the analyses of anarchists alone, anarchist theory would be in an unfortunate situation. We should be open-minded and critical about this instead of throwing out the baby with the bath-water, and steer clear of immediate judgements and entrenched ideas. Some of the most important developments in anarchist theory and practice have occurred entirely outside of the anarchist movement, which remains largely unaware of them. "

Of course what links the two outlooks is a profound antipathy to Trotskyism .
The Spectre of a coup is haunting Nepal. This Ambassador is unlikely to be speaking just his own opinion.
There is little or nothing to take a bet on how the events are going
to unfold over the coming months and years, but the present cat-and-
mouse maneuverings by political parties and Maoists are likely to move
the conflict to center-stage for a showdown. If this comes to pass,
army will have a greater chance of claiming victory, provided that the
conflict involves mostly the leadership on the top. Another big
uncertainty is if Nepal has the good fortune of some strongmen rising
to the occasion—the likes of Korea’s Park Chung-He, Chile’s Pinochet,
Indonesia’s Suharto—to take up the challenge of suppressing dissent
and mobilizing the machinery of the State to focus on only one
mission:
Building a strong and prosperous nation.
