Insider account of Corbyn’s suspension confirms his prostration before Labour’s right-wing
New Left Review and author of
The Starmer Project.
It is an unserious article, subtitled “It’s just as much of a shitshow as you thought”, and written as an apologia for Corbyn. But its attempted defence of the former Labour leader, focusing on his efforts to placate Labour’s right-wing and their rebuffing of his every entreaty, is an unintendedly damning account of his political cowardice and deceit.

Allinson is a typical representative of the “union activist” invariably low-ranking functionaries and members of various pseudo-left and Stalinist groups, whose activism is carried out solely in the interests of the union bureaucracy’s imposition of the dictates of the corporations.
UK: Claim of strike “victory” at Go North West unravels as Unite refuses to disclose its rotten deal
Almost two weeks after the Unite union told 400 striking bus drivers at Go North West in Manchester that they had secured a victory against the imposition of savage attacks through a “fire and rehire” contract, the rotten deal negotiated is being kept secret.
On Friday April 30, bottles of sparkling wine were handed round by pickets at the Queens Road depot in Cheetham Hill to celebrate after officials said the threat of fire and rehire was being “taken off the table” barely a week before the May 8 deadline to dismiss anyone refusing to accept a £2,500 pay cut and an inferior sick pay scheme.
UK: Fire and rehire contract deadline nears for striking Go North West bus drivers
The strike by over 400 Manchester bus drivers against fire and rehire contracts being imposed by Go North West has reached its eleventh hour, with just over a week until the deadline for mass dismissal on May 8.
The strike action, which has entered its eighth week, is one of the longest disputes for over a generation on the national bus network. It testifies to the determination of workers to withstand a vicious assault on their terms and conditions imposed by dictatorial methods. The outcome of this fight will have repercussions for bus workers and the entire working class. Go-Ahead, the parent company of Go North West, is establishing a new benchmark of exploitation at the Cheetham Hill depot including a 10 percent wage cut.
