Antisemitism Smears Against Corbyn Are Battering Ram of the Right
22/08/2018 The Socialist issue 1006 Socialist Party | Print Editorial of the Socialist, issue 1006 Antisemitism smears against Corbyn are battering ram of the right Organise against the Blairites International working class solidarity against all oppression and racism In recent weeks accusations of antisemitism directed at Jeremy Corbyn have resurged to a fever pitch. Yet once again, when the substance of the cases is examined, they don't indicate that the Labour Party has a particular problem with antisemitism, either regarding the number of cases or their nature. What the onslaught shows very clearly however, is the way in which this issue is being used to attempt to inflict blows on Corbyn's leadership, as a battering ram by the capitalist establishment and Labour right wing in their drive to see him removed. Among the vehicles for the attacks is not the 'Jewish community' so regularly referred to by the right-wing media, but the current virulently anti-Corbyn leaderships of a few Jewish organisations, including the Jewish Leadership Council, the Board of Deputies and the Jewish Labour Movement. United with them in the aim of slandering Corbyn are Blairite Labour MPs, especially the 70-plus of them in Labour Friends of Israel, which is no more critical of Israel's Netanyahu-led government and its killings in Gaza than is the right-wing led Israeli Labour Party. Corbyn should face "unequivocal condemnation from everyone - left, right and everything in between", declared Netanyahu recently. Among the Blarites who obliged was Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who lambasted Corbyn in a piece for the Independent's website, accusing him of allowing "institutional racism" to "flourish" in Labour. -

Two Kiwis on Their Way out of NRL: Kiwis Coach Stephen Kearney Is Philosophical About Two Kiwis Leaving the NRL to Pick up More Money in England
TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 18 May 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 12 April to Monday 18 May 2009 They are happy helping others: One helps out people from the other side of the world, one mentors the troubled kids at her league club, and another just looks after his mum. What the five winners of this year's Young Community Leaders Awards have in common, though, is a dedication to social work, rather than their social lives. Emma Daken, Teresa Edge, Henare Mihaere, Fofo Molia and Libby Tuite were chosen from nearly 60 nominees to receive the awards, which recognised Wellingtonians under the age of 25 working in the not-for- profit sector, either as a volunteer or in a paid position. Anzac test to stay - and it'll be in Brisbane: Despite the Kiwis' dire results in mid-year tests across the Tasman, the Anzac league test is likely to survive and remain in Brisbane because the New Zealand Rugby League cannot afford to host the game. NZRL chairman Ray Haffenden admits there are conflicting views about the test's value after New Zealand's run of eight successive defeats but has given it his backing and said the league cannot afford to scrap the game, nor host it. No sign of league World Cup cash: Six months since the World Cup final, the much-trumpeted tournament profit apparently still sits in a Rugby League International Federation bank account. New Zealand has not been told what the final profit is, or how it will be distributed and RLIF boss Colin Love couldn't be reached last night. -
The View from the Bridge (Summer 2021)
The view from the bridge Robin Ramsay Thanks to Nick Must (in particular) and Garrick Alder for editorial and proofreading assistance. *new* SNAFU or FUBAR? I glance at the financial pages of some of the newspapers, mainly to see the latest idiocy that has been allowed to happen. Most recently that has been the collapse of Archegos Capital, one of the many companies using borrowed capital to trade on stock market movements.1 Gambling, in other words. Archegos has gone bust, owing various banks $10 billion. So far, so rather routine. The author of a piece in the Telegraph described what Archegos’ boss Bill Hwang had been doing – his ‘trading strategy’. ‘Hwang was mostly trading through total return swaps. As derivatives go, these are pretty plain vanilla. They give investors exposure to an underlying asset without having to own it (and therefore appear on the regulatory filings that disclose the biggest holders of publicly-listed shares). The other main benefit is that swaps allow you to leverage up the bet. And here lies the crux to this tale: the sheer extent of the leverage that Hwang was running – up to 20 times on some positions, according to reports. This meant that if the shares he was betting on rose 5pc, he’d make a return of 100pc. On the flip side, if they fell 5pc, his entire stake would be wiped out. Which is more or less precisely what happened.’2 1 <https://www.ft.com/content/8062ef53-790f-4470-99d5-265335a72334> The FT report on this was honest enough to include a gambling analogy in the very first sentence, referring to Archeos as having made ‘soured bets’. -

Democratic Audit: European Parliament Elections 2019: What Will Happen in the North West of England? Page 1 of 7
Democratic Audit: European Parliament elections 2019: what will happen in the North West of England? Page 1 of 7 European Parliament elections 2019: what will happen in the North West of England? The North West is traditionally a stronghold for Labour, who came first and took three of the region’s eight seats the last time European Parliament elections were held in 2014. This time, however, the Brexit Party are outperforming UKIP’s past success in this area, and will win multiple seats from the region’s majority of pro-Leave voters in the 2016 referendum. The Conservative’s decline opens up a chance for one of the three strong pro-Remain parties to also win a seat, with the Lib Dems looking strongest and the Greens in with a chance of a seat. With voters able to cast only a single vote for a party list, the Democratic Audit team reviews likely outcomes for the parties and the main potentially electable candidates. Liverpool. Photo by Conor Samuel on Unsplash Note: This article was first published on 17 May and updated on 20 May to take into account the latest regional polling data. The North West covers England west of the Pennines, stretching up from its southern borders in Cheshire to sparsely populated Cumbria, bordering Scotland in the north. The key urban centres are Greater Manchester and Merseyside, plus many former industrial towns, but with substantial rural areas also. With eight MEPs the effective threshold for gaining a seat is around 7–9% for smaller parties, depending on how many votes the big two (Labour and Brexit) attract. -
