Apparently Mick Lynch is considering joing Corbyn and Zarah Sultana in their social democratic paradise.
This might just be more wishful thinking of the liberal left, still it's worth remembering Mick Lynch's opinions and actions over the years.

This epitomises the liberal conception of freedom, exercise freedom of speech and the 'right' to peaceful protest, opposing the pronoscription of an organisation because it was attempting to disrupt arms supplies to the genocidal Zionist entity. A government and ruling class complicit in genocide is having an elderly woman and others arrested on charges of terrorism. This amounts to pure projection, an illustration of the depths to which Imperialists will descend to repress opposition to their failing moribund system.

The Labour Party has always served as a mechanism to pacify the working class. Its formation was rooted in the interests of the labour aristocracy, those privileged workers who sought to protect their own position within British capitalism, not overthrow it. The capitalist concessions of 1945 to '51, which Labour still lives off, were not the product of some benevolent reformist vision, but a calculated response to the growing threat of socialism in post-war Europe. British capitalism had no choice but to offer these concessions to a population battered by war and inspired by the example of the workers state of the. Soviet Union.

All this being said—does Labour still perform this function? Can it?
It appears that the Party’s ability to corral the working class, to channel anger into safe, parliamentary cul-de-sacs, is nearing exhaustion. The traditional role Labour played within British capitalism seems increasingly redundant. Could this explain why Corbyn and the other so-called “left” castaways are now flirting with the idea of a new formation? A fresh banner under which to resume the old task: defanging class struggle, and shackling the British proletariat?

Margaret Thatcher was a vile servant of British capitalism, but blaming her alone for Britain’s decline is politically shallow. She did not act in a vacuum, her policies were the expression of a broader class offensive. If it hadn’t been her, it would have been another willing agent of capital. The dismantling of industry was already long underway, and the state’s war on militant trade unionism had been fought for years before she took office.

Thatcher wasn’t exceptional. She was simply more ruthless and more effective than most. Like every occupant of Number 10, her loyalty was to the ruling class. She carried out her duties with brutal efficiency. She may now be in the dirt, but the system she served remains firmly intact.

Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana and the other social democrats who are involved in starting this new left party might generate enthusiasm amongst the left in Britain but we do not share this excitement. This is not just because Corbyn is a pathetically weak leader who surrendered on every single point of principle and abandoned all of his political allies when he was Labour leader but because we at the project have a fundamentally different view of politics than the likes of Corbyn. Corbyn is a social democrat, meaning that he wants to use the bourgeois state to modify the worst "excesses" of capitalism. In the view of Corbyn the working class plays a supporting role in this, at best, in the form of turning out to vote for social democrats on election day. This is not our view. In our view the future of this country can only be rescued by completely removing the parasitic ruling class from power and by the working class coming to power and building a workers state to replace the current bourgeois one.

Our view of politics is that the power needs to be exercised by workers in order to build a planned economy that will make the maximum usage of the resources we have in this country. Corbyn thinks that you can keep capitalism and just shave the edges off. His time as Labour Party leader proves that the ruling class will not accept his meek reforms. They know very well that it is now the case that they can only survive in power by waging war upon the working class at home and by subjugating the masses of the oppressed nations across the world. It is now a case of them or us. The middle way sought by the likes of Corbyn does not exist. We choose to fight for socialism, the fight for the rule of our class and destruction of the British capitalist class. Corbyn is opposed to that. He is as much our enemy as the likes of Farage because he tries to lead the working class down the dead end of reformism. Corbyn and the politics he stands for are out of time and he offers nothing to our class.

History of the USA in 2 minutes

The USA loves to talk about freedom and democracy, human rights and rule of law. But small nations know that Uncle Sam wants to take their ressources, not give them democracy...

From the very beginning the U.S has been a nation of genocide and plunder...

As the Soviet Union stood alone in the fight against fascism during World War II as Hitler's hoardes invaded Eastern Europe, Churchill’s refusal to open a genuine second front was echoed by Labour’s very own Clement Attlee.

Attlee backed Churchill’s decision to delay a western invasion. An act that cost millions of Soviet lives. This was more than tactical caution; it reflected a shared wish between the two men to watch fascism and communism destroy each other, while British imperial interests remained intact.

Attlee’s Labour Party gave no pushback and happily went along with it. Their objective, like that of all British capitalists, was to preserve British imperial dominance, not liberate the continent or protect their allies

The post‑war Attlee government remained deeply imperialist, no less than any British imperial administrations before or after. Those on the Labour left who dine out on the reforms of 1945–51 conveniently ignore this reality, along with countless inconvenient truths that shatter the tidy myth of a progressive Labour legacy

The money being thrown around by the oil states of the middle east in an attempt to build their leagues is ridiculous. They are playing monopoly with old Kent road and the whole bank balance.
Irish Free State Minister for Housing James Brown has launched his New Housing Strategy to keep rents from spiraling...

Well good auld Pinochio Brown the Minister for Landlords has came up with a scheme to make them even richer.

So here we go..
This is his plan
Pinochio is going to increase rents, yes increase rents which will attract more corporate investors to borrow money off the bankers to build more houses and apartments for rent which will expand the private housing portfolio.

Now this will increase the housing supply and reduce rents which will make the properties worth less so they can sell to other landlords and on and on and on. See wasn't that simple!!

Yea right Pinochio!!!
You're the Minister for Landlords quit the Bullshit
