Strikes, demonstrations, political crises, Britain looks a lot different now
than it did when Blair and co came to power. For us the task of the hour is to give
active support to workers struggling to defend jobs and services and carry that
fight over into the Labour Party, into a fight for socialist policies. |

George Galloway, the Labour MP for Glasgow Kelvin, was yesterday
expelled from the Labour Party by the three-member National Constitutional
Committee, which is in reality a kangaroo court designed to simply rubber
stamp whatever Blair wants. George Galloway took a clear stand against the
war in Iraq. This is the reason why he was expelled. They had tried to
remove him on the basis of falsified documents “found in Iraq”. As they
were not able to remove him with these, they decided another road. |

Each new piece of evidence presented to the Hutton inquiry raises the lid a
little more on the real truth behind the government dossier on Iraq's weapons
and the death of Dr. David Kelly. With each passing day the Blair clique is being increasingly exposed as
nothing short of a nest of vipers.

We live in an epoch of sudden and sharp turns. On Thursday night, as Tony Blair
slept aboard a Boeing 777 bound from Washington to Tokyo, he was rocked by the
news of the death of Dr David Kelly. In a single instant the whole situation was
transformed. The magnitude of these events signifies the
inevitability of resignations at the highest level, so the Prime Minister is
frantically looking around for friends prepared to fall upon their swords in
order to protect their Lord and Master. |

Barbara Humphries looks at the conflicting tendencies within the British Labour Party on
the question of war. It is clear that the rank and file members of the party have always tended
towards opposition to war, while the leadership has swung the other way. At times however the
opposition has been so strong that it has limited the ability of the Labour leadership to put
all its weight behind war efforts such as the US war on Vietnam. |

The dramatic resignation of
Robin Cook, until yesterday the Leader of the House of Commons was a
devastating blow to Blair and represents another nail in the coffin of Blairism.
The prospect of war has shaken British politics to its foundations. There is no going back for Blair now.
Sooner or later his days as Labour leader are numbered. |
