Corbyn as PM is our best hope of avoiding catastrophic war with Iran, delegates hear

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2019

MAKING Jeremy Corbyn prime minister at the earliest opportunity is Britain’s best hope of avoiding being dragged into a catastrophic US war against Iran, Labour conference delegates heard today.

Stop the War Coalition convener Lindsey German told a packed lunchtime fringe meeting that PM Boris Johnson’s New York summit with Donald Trump and other Western leaders, which concluded without evidence that Iran was responsible for a Houthi-claimed drone attack on Saudi Arabian oilfields, had moved the threat of war closer.
“They already have a bloody and devastating Saudi war against the Houthis in Yemen,” she said. “That’s not enough for them — they want a war with Iran.

“Such a war would drag in the whole Middle East — Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Iraq. And Britain is led by a serial liar and complete warmonger.”
Standing in for shadow home secretary Diane Abbott, her adviser Bell Ribeiro-Addy said the Labour leadership would “stand up to Trump and all those fanning the flames of fear, helping to build a safer and more peaceful future.”

Unite assistant chief of staff Adrian Weir pointed to the build-up of aggressive forces around Venezuela, which faces the “narco-government of Colombia” on one border, “a Trump fan club government” in Brazil on another border and threats of a British military base in Guyana floated by former defence secretary Gavin Williamson on a third border — though he praised a Morning Star freedom of information request that revealed that the Civil Service was unaware of any planning for this base.

The meeting paid tribute to former Stop the War Coalition chairman Andrew Murray, who was unable to attend the conference as he is recovering from heart surgery. A reference to Mr Murray’s long record of anti-war organising was met with loud applause.

Jeremy Corbyn later told conference: “It beggars belief that this week Boris Johnson is openly talking about sending troops to Saudi Arabia as part of the increasingly dangerous confrontation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, in an apparent bid to appease Donald Trump.”

Pointing to Britain’s past disastrous military intervention in the Middle East he said: “We must not make those mistakes again. Under a Labour government Britain will be a force for peace and international justice.”
 
Labour pledges to scrap the Tories' ‘inhumane’ universal credit scheme

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2019

LABOUR in government will scrap the “inhumane and unmitigated disaster” of the Tories’ flagship universal credit (UC) benefits scheme, Jeremy Corbyn will announce today.

The pledge goes further than the party’s previous policy, which was to halt the roll-out of UC across the country.

Mr Corbyn will be speaking at a rally in Chingford and Woodford Green with Labour candidate Faiza Shaheen, who wants to unseat former Conservative work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith.

Ms Shaheen, who is the director of the Centre for Labour and Social
Studies (Class) think tank, told the Star she is taking on “architect of chaos” Mr Duncan Smith whose changes to the welfare system led to suffering for her mother.

Her mother had been put through benefits reassessments despite doctors stating that she was unfit for work. She died of heart failure in 2017, which Ms Shaheen described as “heartbreaking to witness.”

She told the Star: “Universal credit has created a trail of destruction, plunging thousands of families into debt, causing evictions and driving people to foodbanks.

“It was supposed to simplify benefits but has ended up causing hunger and despair.”

Mr Duncan Smith has held the seat since it was created in 1997. However, his majority at the 2017 snap election was greatly reduced by Labour.

In the 2015 election, he took 47.9 per cent of the vote while Labour’s Bilal Mahmood took 28.8 per cent.

Two years later, Mr Duncan Smith took 49.1 per cent of the vote while Mr Mahmood took 43.9 per cent.

At the rally at 11am on Chingford Mount, Mr Corbyn will set out Labour’s plans to replace UC with a social security system that focuses on “ending poverty, not driving people into it.”

Labour is pledging to end the benefit cap and the two child limit, which it says alone will lift up to 300,000 children out of poverty.

The party would also immediately suspend “the punitive sanctions regime” and end UC’s “digital only” requirement, which excludes people who cannot access the internet or are not computer literate.

Labour would also give claimants an “automatic interim payment” to end the five-week wait for money to enter their bank accounts.

Mr Corbyn says Labour would also switch monthly payments to fortnightly, pay housing benefit directly to landlords and protect women at risk of domestic violence and coercive abuse by making split payments by default.

And he vowed to scrap the requirement of women having to fill out a four-page form to “prove” their child was a born from an act of rape in order to claim benefit for a third child.

As well as scrapping UC, Labour will replace the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with a Department for Social Security.

The party says that the rebranding would mark “a radical shift from a system that punishes and polices people” to one that would “support people in finding work and treat them with dignity and respect.”

Mr Corbyn is expected to say: “The universal credit system sums up the priorities of the Conservatives, who think they’re born to rule.

“A government of the wealthy cutting taxes for the super-rich while forcing people to rely on foodbanks to survive.

“The Tories told us that universal credit would make work pay, but we have seen the opposite.

“More and more people who are falling into poverty have jobs, and more and more children who are growing up in poverty are living in working families.”
 
The Conservatives are split. But they should not be underestimated

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2019

THE Conservative Party is determined to proceed with its conference from this weekend despite MPs refusing a parliamentary recess for it.

As those Tories who can be spared from the Westminster pantomime (they have been denied the traditional recess) gather in Manchester busloads of protesters will head for the city from all over the country.

Thousands will demonstrate to tell the party of the bedroom tax, of universal credit, of humiliating “fit for work” tests, of the “hostile environment” that led to the racist Windrush deportations, of privatisation, in-work poverty and war that we have had enough.

And they can be brought down. The commitment of the Conservative membership to Brexit has led Boris Johnson — whose own record suggests he doesn’t give a monkey’s whether Britain is part of the EU or not — to push for a speedy exit despite this being anathema to the Tories’ traditional paymasters in the financial and corporate sectors.

The divisions this has caused among Tory MPs, who like Labour MPs mostly backed Remain in 2016, have torn great ruptures in the parliamentary party.

Boris Johnson has not, so far, indicated any serious differences with the EU exit programme put forward by Theresa May and repeatedly rejected by MPs.

He has, however, adopted an entirely different approach to the management of the ruling party, expelling MPs who voted to legislate against a no-deal exit.

So turbulent are our times, and so focused is the media on rubbishing Labour, that the extraordinary cull has not been given the attention it deserves.

He booted out the man who was the chancellor of the Exchequer till a few months ago (Philip Hammond), another former chancellor who is the longest-standing MP in the Commons (Ken Clarke), former members of Cabinet such as David Gauke, Justine Greening, Oliver Letwin, Dominic Grieve, Rory Stewart, Greg Clark, Richard Benyon and many more.

The Tories have reshaped their party before in response to profound social and political crises, remaining a serious force through the centuries while the Whigs and Liberals faded away.

Johnson’s willingness to jettison many of the party’s most recognisable faces and most powerful players shows a ruthless willing to do just that.

Many such MPs may find their way back into the fold before an election that Johnson knows will be the fight of a lifetime.

The Conservatives may be in crisis, but so is our whole political system and much of the Western world.

The status quo is clearly broken, and a new political settlement looms. The question is who will shape it: the socialist left led by Jeremy Corbyn or a race-baiting hard right that will only slam on the accelerator of social and ecological meltdown.

As Hillary Clinton’s defeat by Donald Trump showed, any bid to see off the right with a status quo campaign will go down in flames.

Johnson has grasped that victory depends on looking and acting like the insurgent who is taking the Establishment on — even when he personally embodies that Establishment as much as any politician in Britain.

And for now despite having no majority, despite having been humiliated by the Supreme Court, he rides high in the polls.

Labour can turn that around. It was further behind in 2017, and it has the people power and the policy vision to fight a far more impressive election campaign.

Nor do Johnson’s recent public appearances suggest he is likely to come across well in debates or encounters with ordinary people. There is no need to despair.

But there is no room for complacency either. Labour’s recent focus on court rulings and parliamentary procedure have the hallmarks of a Hillary Clinton approach.

Better to follow the lead of those MPs who will speak on the streets of Manchester this weekend, and fight a grassroots campaign for radical, revolutionary change.
 
Progressives slam EU's anti-communist motion

COMMUNISTS and left organisations have hit out at a reactionary “ahistorical” motion passed by the European Parliament last month, which equates communism with “the monster of fascism.”
The European Communist Initiative condemned the “outrageous” resolution tabled by the right-wing European People’s Party group and warned of the escalating anti-communism of the European Union (EU).

The motion recognised the importance of “remembrance” for the future of Europe, but equates communism with the barbarity of nazism. It also called for the erasure all memorials of “totalitarianism” across Europe, including memorials dedicated to the Red Army.

While it states that the second world war was “the most devastating conflict in the history of Europe,” the resolution claimed that it was “the immediate consequence of the German-Soviet non-aggression treaty of August 23 1939, also known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.”

But progressives and communist parties warned that adoption of the motion was merely an extension of EU anti-communist agenda and a reactionary falsification of history.
Communists are under attack in Ukraine where a 2014 EU-backed coup known as the EuroMaidan helped fascists enter the country’s parliament.

It has since passed a series of anti-communist laws prohibiting communist symbols and positive descriptions of the Soviet Union. In 2015 Kiev moved to ban the Communist Party of Ukraine.
Socialist newspaper Rabochaya Gazeta (Worker’s Newspaper) was banned in spring of this year for publishing articles quoting Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin – deemed to be a breach of the law.
It was also attacked for publishing pieces critical of the rehabilitation of nazi collaborators in Stepan Bandera’s Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN).

The OUN organised massacres of hundreds of thousands of Jews and Poles during the nazi occupation of Ukraine. Denying the “heroism” of the OUN is also now illegal.
While Ukraine continues to rehabilitate fascist war criminals, it removed all 1,320 statues of Lenin and renamed streets to erase Ukraine’s socialist past.

The Communist Party of Greece branded the EU resolution a “reactionary monstrosity” aimed at legalising bans on communist parties and symbols imposed in a number of member states.
It warned of an attempt to normalise the criminalisation of communist ideology and people’s movements across the world that are resisting “the anti-people policies of the EU and the growing trend of fascism.”

And the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) said: “The text now approved in the EU Parliament promotes the most reactionary conceptions and falsifications of modern history in a deplorable attempt to equate fascism and communism, minimising and justifying the crimes of nazi-fascism and silencing the collusive responsibilities of the great capitalist powers — like the United Kingdom and France — who paved the way to the beginning of world war [two] in the hope of pushing the nazi hordes upon the USSR.”

With respect to the singling out of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, “disregarding its historical context, the resolution adopted by the majority of the European Parliament omits how the great capitalist powers tolerated, colluded and aligned with the ascent of fascism in several European countries, motivated by the battle against the communist ideal and the enormous economic and social achievements of the workers and peoples of the USSR,” the PCP said.
The European Communist Initiative denounced the distortion of history and the “well-paid EU anti-communist events funding program [sic] ‘Europe for Citizens.’”

But it added that “anti-communism will not pass.
“All persecutions of the communists, bans on communist parties, destructions of monuments must stop. The truth will shine through and the people, especially the youth with their struggle, will conquer it and throw such constructions of capital and its organisations into the dustbin of history.”
