THIS year’s Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival will again be an online event, although much of it will be filmed live from the Dorset village. Watch it on www.tolpuddlemartyrs.org.uk or the Tolpuddle Facebook and YouTube channels.
The festival comes just before the legal restrictions to control the pandemic are lifted and amid further confusion and mixed messages from a reckless and incompetent government.
The panel debates and speeches will set out where the labour movement stands on key issues such as how to reset the world of work after the crisis and Angela Rayner will outline her role in leading the Labour Party’s approach to the future of work.

FACING the threat to millions as furlough is ended, we hear about “job loss” every day, as workers as a result of factors beyond their control are thrown out of work, deprived of income and thrown into individual and collective community desperation and deprivation.
“Job loss” is a weasel term. We might as well refer to wilful murder as “life loss.”
It’s a term which avoids responsibility or guilt for the crime and presents disaster as an unfortunate but largely normal aspect of life.
House keys and phones are lost. Jobs are not “lost” they are destroyed by the crises of the economic system, by the policies and actions of those that own and control that economy, imposed by their tame politicians.
