Political Review of 2024 - a view from Britain

Dave Kellaway, Terry Conway — 2024-12-31T19:20:15Z

It is that time of year when we reflect on the key events of 2024. Unlike the mainstream mass media we are interested in examining what happened from the point of view of the current and historic interests of the working class. Our task is to deconstruct the ideology that focuses on the visually dramatic, political or cultural personalities or the trivial.

The barge, where an Albanian man killed himself last December and which is also thought to be warehousing torture victims, is expected to be a staging post to Rwanda – despite the fact that it is understood flights are not yet ready to try.

Privatisation and climate change mean sewage in rivers and seas

Terry Conway — 2023-07-27T13:07:55Z

The state of the water industry has been a matter of increasing concern in British politics over recent years. More and more stories have about the excessive dumping of sewage into rivers and seas.

This has gained support from people who have traditionally voted for the ruling Conservative Party.
