AN appeal is being made to Dudley Council to provide transport for the borough’s frail and elderly to get to their Covid vaccinations. Cllr Shaukat Ali, Shadow Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, wants the council to supply transport to vulnerable people who don’t have their own. He has written to the Leader of the Council requesting that such a service is provided and asked the Director of Public Health for advice so that people can be helped as soon as possible. Cllr Ali said “Tthere are concerns about some being put off because they don’t have their own transport, don’t have family living nearby, are unable to use public transport or can’t afford to pay for a taxi. The lack of access to transport should not be a reason for not getting the vaccination.”
The political “assassination” of Jeremy Corbyn .
DAVID Evans, General Secretary of the Labour Party , has warned all members of The Labour Party, by means of a letter to all Constituency party Chairs, warning them that any motions about Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to withhold the Labour Party Parliamentary whip from Jeremy Corbyn would be ruled “out of order”. Mr. Evans also warns that any “expression of solidarity” with Mr. Corbyn would fall foul of tough new guidelines, which strengthen existing rules that prevent discussion of ongoing disciplinary cases.
This is an unmitigated attack upon the right to freedom of speech and the right to express solidarity with whomsoever one desires. It is nothing other than a threat to members of the Labour Party that they risk expulsion should they show support for critics or attempt to discuss any matter concerning Jeremy Corbyn.
