Dear Brothers and Sisters, After Jeremy Corbyn and Labour’s incredible result in June’s general election, Theresa May’s Tory government is in deep crisis. Divided, unpopular and with no means of political escape, now is the time to organise locally against the Tories and in support of policies that have long seemed to be off the…
Nationally the Labour Party made striking progress in the General Election. It punctured Tory arrogance by wiping out their majority in the Commons, it shocked the newspaper owners and hinted that their power has waned and it revealed the stupidity of many Labour back bench MPs who couldn’t and wouldn’t see that change was coming.…
Jeremy Corbyn was proved right and again proved the critics wrong by supporting Theresa May’s “master stroke”, the snap election. The Tory election campaign was based on the fallacy that there was no credible opposition. The voters showed otherwise and the Tory party has lurched into division and crisis. Over Europe most Tory MPs want…
Not many, certainly not enough, Lowestoft people had the chance to see and hear Jeremy Corbyn on his visit to the town on Saturday (30 May) in support of local Labour Party candidate Sonia Barker. “Just a nice ordinary bloke” one Labour Party member said.

The Tories see matching the world’s lowest Corporation Tax and “liberalising” labour laws as a weapon in exit negotiations and a blueprint for a post-Brexit Britain. May said she would guarantee existing EU protections but allowed Tory MPs to talk out a law to enforce them.…

While Teresa May is riding high in the polls and being nice on the One Show, the nasty cuts are proceeding. The Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) for Norfolk and Waveney sees £150m taken from the NHS and Social Care budget over four years. All parts of the NHS and social care are in underfunding…
The Suffolk County Council elections saw a UKIP wipe out, a Green win in Beccles and Labour losing four of their five seats. The only Labour councillor left in Waveney is long serving Keith Patience in the Gunton ward. The majorities were small and an agreement between Labour and the Greens in Beccles and Lowestoft,…
