Weekly Worker Issue 1495: ** **
Operation Imperial Overlord: ** ** Rishi Sunak committed a ‘gaffe’ by leaving the D-Day celebrations before Joe Biden’s speech, it is claimed by an over-excited media. But, asks Mike Macnair, what was the military and strategic meaning of the Normandy landings? ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/operation-imperial-overlord/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/operation-imperial-overlord/ ) ** ** Letters: ** ** Be ever so ’umble; No soggy votes; Minimum replies; He’s pro-Zionist; Makes me sick; Comrade Delta; Unity psyche ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/letters/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/letters/ ) ** ** Focusing our commitment: ** ** As the Tories stumble and tumble, and the country prepares to go to the polls, we discussed both who to support and the prospects for after July 4. If there is going to be a ‘crisis of expectations’, it is likely to be on the left. Ian Spencer reports ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/focusing-our-commitment/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/focusing-our-commitment/ ) ** ** Sir Keir’s sinister past: ** ** Rightwing pundits have finally begun bringing up deep entryism and long-gone political affiliations to Pabloism. But Trot-baiting is unlikely to save Rishi Sunak, says Paul Demarty, he is a loser ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/sir-keirs-sinister-past/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/sir-keirs-sinister-past/ ) ** ** Illusion springs eternal: ** ** A Starmer government will supposedly trigger a ‘crisis of expectations’. But, asks Carla Roberts, how can it? With promises of financial responsibility and keeping to Tory spending limits, popular expectations are almost non-existent ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/illusion-springs-eternal/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/illusion-springs-eternal/ ) ** ** We’ll always have Parris: ** ** Sir Keir is now open to charges of dithering after Diane Abbott was allowed to stand, writes Eddie Ford. But the suggestion that he has ‘lost control’ over the Labour left is risible ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/well-always-have-parris/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/well-always-have-parris/ ) ** ** Programme makers: ** ** Without the working class organising itself into a political party there can be no chance of socialism. But, argues Jack Conrad, without a comprehensive, fully worked-out programme, that party has no chance of taking coherent form, guarding against opportunism or navigating the road to socialism ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/programme-makers/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/programme-makers/ ) ** ** The centre is cracking: ** ** EU parliamentary elections have shocked the political establishment and the soft left alike. Barış Graham looks at the far right’s surge in support ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/the-centre-is-cracking/ ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1495/the-centre-is-cracking/ ) ** ** PDF format: ** ** https://weeklyworker.co.uk/assets/ww/pdf/WW1495-web1.pdf ( https://weeklyworker.co.uk/assets/ww/pdf/WW1495-web1.pdf ) ** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
