Thinking of backing Labour? Here are 3 reasons why I'm voting for them for the first time

Thinking of backing Labour? Here are 3 reasons why I’m voting for them for the first time

Not content to allow Trump to dominate the headlines, it seems everybody’s favourite Theresa has decided to call another election. Her official justification is interesting: an opposition that she criticises for being too weak is being too strong in sabotaging Brexit. The idea that this is a smash-and-grab election campaign relying on voter fatigue to maintain the status quo is probably just…

Corbyn and the coalition of chaos!? We're already in fucking chaos thanks to the Tories!

Corbyn and the coalition of chaos!? We’re already in fucking chaos thanks to the Tories!

So, The S*n’s latest piece of political ‘reportage’ has seen the light of day. I’ll be referring to The S*n’s political journalism as ‘comic cuts’ from hereon in, so laughable is their latest attempt at being a proper newspaper. The subject, you’ve guessed it, is the ‘unelectable’ Jeremy Corbyn – the same unelectable Jeremy Corbyn The S*n and Rupert Murdoch are terrified might actually be…

Ex-Labour PM Tony Blair literally just said people should "vote Tory".

Ex-Labour PM Tony Blair literally just said people should “vote Tory”.

With fear running high in establishment circles that Jeremy Corbyn might soon be running the country, Labour’s reactionary-in-chief Tony Blair was trotted out this afternoon to spew yet more unwanted advice. Speaking in an interview on the BBC’s World This Weekend, Blair mounted yet another attack on Corbyn’s electability by claiming that Tory government would “steam roller” into power on June 9.…

This story from a poverty-stricken pensioner is exactly why Corbyn MUST win

Theresa May’s outrageous refusal to guarantee the “triple-lock” on state pensions, which guarantees rises of at least 2.5% a year, could be her undoing! Pensioners are typically viewed as a pillar of Tory support. But just yesterday, BBC Radio 4 hosted a call-in show on the triple-lock and dozens of pensioners, some of them Tory voters, called in to condemn May. Sonia, a retired NHS worker from…

Conservative Party ‘Information Officer’ caught circulating faked Jeremy Corbyn images online

You probably won’t believe just how biased the BBC’s latest anti-Corbyn attack actually is

The BBC’s Reality Check series – a series purporting to impartially fact-check and debunk claims made by politicians and others in the media — has kicked off the general election in the authentic non-partisan manner we’ve come to expect from the BBC of late. The Beeb have attempted to discredit Labour’s economic credibility using evidence sought only from right-wing neoliberal think tanks headed…

Former British Ambassador points out Theresa May's election platform is identical to the BNP's in 2005

Former British Ambassador points out Theresa May’s election platform is identical to the BNP’s in 2005

Now that the general election has been called, the gloves are off for just about everyone. It seems that to Theresa May, now is an opportune time to seek another election. Now, being just after Article 50 has been triggered meaning in her own words that there is no turning back from what will be a period of gross uncertainty for this country. This is on top of the soon to be published results of…

A lesson from Mélenchon: Corbyn CAN turn the polls around with his TRULY anti-establishment platform

Since the announcement of a snap general election earlier this week, a number of significant resignations have already been announced. The despised ex-chancellor George Osborne has stood down, as have the arch Blairites Tom Blenkinsop and Alan Johnson. But despite this announcement, Labour right-wingers continue to brief against Corbyn in the Tory press. John Woodcock, for instance, has announced…

Day Two of 'Snap Election 2017', and the threat of fascism couldn't be clearer

Day Two of ‘Snap Election 2017’, and the threat of fascism couldn’t be clearer

There were pretty much two types of people in Britain this morning. Those who intend to roll up their sleeves, resigned to battle for the political result they want to see – and those on the verge of disconnecting the phone, the internet, suspending their social media profiles, and possibly emigrating to the moon. I sympathise. I really do. However, within the space of 24 hours, The Daily Mail…

Tory Election Fraud is about to go nuclear, and it's probably why Theresa May U-turned on a snap election

Tory Election Fraud is about to go nuclear, and it’s probably why Theresa May U-turned on a snap election

As we all basked in the postprandial glow of a long weekend filled with over-indulgence, the news from Downing Street certainly cut through the sugar rush of a million chocolate eggs (Easter or otherwise). Just when you think politics can’t get any more freaky in this country, it still manages to jump out from behind the curtain wearing a pink wig and fright mask. But enough of Theresa May’s…

Our strong, brave Prime Minister is terrified of debating Jeremy Corbyn. Because she knows she'll be annihilated.

Our strong, brave Prime Minister is terrified of debating Jeremy Corbyn. Because she knows she’ll be annihilated.

Theresa May’s decision to call an early General Election isn’t as big a surprise as it seems. Labour are polling poorly, largely thanks to hostile, inaccurate, sometimes dishonest mainstream media coverage. Disloyalty and hostility from Labour’s ‘chicken coup’ plotters has made a huge contribution to this. The Liberal Democrats aren’t improving as much as they’d like, either. Their record of…

The Left MUST put aside its differences and form an alliance, or usher in a One-Party State

18th June 2017. The day the gauntlet was laid down for the future of British politics. Ironically, only last night I wrote on Facebook I was probably going to take a break from political stuff for a while. The sheer number of battles and geopolitical earthquakes flying at us now on a daily basis, all the aggression and anger bubbling away behind any political discussion or debate…it’s exhausting.…

Over the course of 2014, Aspen Pharmacare and the Spanish health service were locked in a bitter dispute over the price of cancer medicines. Aspen…

The former British Ambassador to Syria just completely destroyed the narrative of the warmongering media

A former British ambassador to Syria spoke live to the BBC about his take on recent events in the Middle East, and effectively accused them of ‘leaving their brains at the door’. Peter Ford is one of many reasoned and experienced people around the world, currently arguing there is something very wrong with the US version of events concerning the recent chemical attack and subsequent US missile…

This anti-Corbyn MP’s latest Twitter tirade should see him expelled by the Labour Party

For Evolve readers, the name Michael Dugher should be familiar. He’s a staunch ally of Tom Watson (and seemingly anyone else who isn’t the Labour Party’s twice-elected leader Jeremy Corbyn). Last year he was announced by Watson as heading the Labour Party’s inquiry into ‘fake news.’ Considering the Sun published fake news on Jeremy Corbyn (and then swiftly retracted it), Dugher (who has written…

The Blairites’ support for Trump’s warmongering is the final straw. Labour needs mandatory reselection now.

In an act which is likely to send shockwaves throughout the Labour Party membership, the Blairites have spoken out in support of bombing Syria… AGAIN! Clearly they have learned nothing from their previous military interventions in Syria. The conflict, which has been raging since 2011, has already claimed the lives of around 500,000 Syrians and the displacement of more than 10 million – over half…
