Those plans have been put on hold until after Sean O’Callaghan, a former republican jailed for two murders, testifies at the High Court trial in Belfast. O’Callaghan is due to be called next month to try to prove a series of claims he has made against McKevitt. One of these involves allegations that the pair attended a meeting with other senior Provisionals in the mid- 1980s to discuss buying deer-hunting rifles to kill soldiers and police officers. O’Callaghan, a special branch agent who says he was once in charge of the IRA’s southern command, is also to be questioned about his claims that he issued instructions for McKevitt to stop taking vehicles from a Provisional IRA car pool without permission. A further issue which lawyers for the Omagh victims families have been given permission to explore with him centres on allegations that a former IRA chief of staff told him he wanted McKevitt voted onto the paramilitary organisation’s executive.

  • Alba and Free Trade in the Americas
    CUBA AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF ALTERNATIVE GLOBAL TRADE SYSTEMS: ALBA AND FREE TRADE IN THE AMERICAS LARRY CATÁ BACKER* & AUGUSTO MOLINA** ABSTRACT The ALBA (Alternativa Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América) (Bolivarian Alternative for The People of Our America), the command economy alternative to the free trade model of globalization, is one of the greatest and least understood contributions of Cuba to the current conversation about globalization and economic harmonization. Originally conceived as a means for forging a unified front against the United States by Cuba and Venezuela, the organization now includes Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominica, and Bolivia. ALBA is grounded in the notion that globalization cannot be left to the private sector but must be overseen by the state in order to maximize the welfare of its citizens. The purpose of this Article is to carefully examine ALBA as both a system of free trade and as a nexus point for legal and political resistance to economic globalization and legal internationalism sponsored by developed states. The Article starts with an examination of ALBA’s ideology and institutionalization. It then examines ALBA as both a trade organization and as a political vehicle for confronting the power of developed states in the trade context within which it operates. ALBA remains * W.

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

    1 MARR SHOW, LEN McCLUSKEY ANDREW MARR SHOW, LEN McCLUSKEY, Unite AM: Now you are still in the position where, despite everything, you think Jeremy Corbyn should stay until the next election and fight as Labour leader? LM: Yes, I do, and to be honest Andrew, it’s unhelpful for ex leaders to be wheeled out. Neil is you know a nice man but the reality is he was leader of the Labour Party for 8 years and lost two elections. Ed Miliband, leader of the Labour Party for five years and lost an election. Gordon Brown, 13 years at the top of our party, including Prime Minister lost an election. It’s not right that they are part – AM: On that basis you’d be wheeling out Tony Blair. LM: It’s not – no I won’t wheel Tony Blair out but the reality is that grandees being dragged out to be part of this unedifying queue is quite outrageous. I mean the reality is that this has been a political lynching of a decent man. Undermined, humiliated, attacked in order to push him out. And here’s the truth. It’s failed, the coup has failed. Jeremy Corbyn is made of stronger stuff. He’s a man of steel and he’s made it clear that he will not step down. AM: The people doing this are not, as it were the usual suspects. The Blairite MPs, they’re people like Lisa Nandy and Angela Eagle who are MPs on the left of the party. He has lost the left of the party as well.
