A CAMPAIGNING councillor was moved to tears by the plight of early years’ workers who feared distancing themselves from children could damage their mental health. Lib Dem Beth Hooper is now at the forefront of a campaign pressing the Government to prioritise childcare staff in the coronavirus vaccination rollout. Concerns have been raised that staff – who continue to work on through the pandemic – have been sidelined for the vaccine despite working with children who don’t understand social distancing. Ms Hooper wrote to MP Sir David Amess urging him to lobby the Government’s Joint Committee on Vaccination to vaccinate all nursery and childcare workers as a matter of urgency.

Huge new threats to Iraq’s future have emerged in past few years, while the old ones have not gone away. The economy is still heavily dependent on oil. Post-Da’esh reconstruction has been frustratingly slow. Iraq s political system is as fragile as ever, while poverty, gender inequalities, and youth unemployment remain endemic. Meanwhile, damming, oil extraction, and global climate heating are destroying the environment. At the same time, Covid-19 threatens to overwhelm fragile state structures and further accelerate the rapid rate of demographic change. There has never been a greater need for big, bold responses to these intractable challenges.
Fudge, muddle, clarity
James Marshall of Labour Party Marxists provides a rough guide to the issues and arguments that will dominate the January 30 Zoom conference
Another Labour Left Alliance conference; another massively overloaded agenda. Over the course of four hours (plus half an hour for lunch) we are going to debate the crisis in the Labour Party and decide what to do next. Doable, if the conference had been organised with a view to achieving clarity. Unfortunately that is not the case. The methods of the labour and trade union bureaucracy have been thoroughly internalised.
There is a mixed bag of eight motions - surely in a calculated attempt to dumb down, all limited to a maximum of 350 words, then nudged up to 400, by the LLA’s conference arrangements committee. This was strongly opposed by Labour Party Marxists. There is also the certainty of various amendments (with no word limit).
