Tories form 'coalition of terror' with notorious DUP bigots

Theresa May desperately clung to power yesterday by resorting to a coalition of terror with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

After months of smearing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as a so-called 鈥渢errorist sympathiser鈥 for engaging in peace talks with the IRA, she leapt into bed with the notorious loyalist party to avoid the humiliation of seeing her opportunist snap election force her out of No 10.

Ten DUP MPs will allow a government that looks set to be 鈥 in the words she previously used against other parties 鈥 a 鈥渨eak and unstable coalition of chaos.鈥

Britain: Corbyn鈥檚 poll surge panics establishment

What seemed at first to be a depressing and predictable British election, with the hard right Tories under Prime Minister Theresa May set for a larger majority, has become a fascinating election contest.

An eco-socialist and international coordinator听for the Greens Party of England and Wales, Derek Wall is challenging Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May as the Greens candidate for May鈥檚 seat of Maidenhead under the slogan 鈥淢ake June the End of May鈥.

Campaigning against racist migration controls, austerity and May鈥檚 support for fox hunting is giving Wall鈥檚 campaign traction, and it enjoys strong support from the Kurdish community.

Britain: Labour must present radical alternative

Prime Minister Theresa May has called a general election for June 8. The Tory leader is hoping that Labour has been sufficiently weakened by the attacks of the right on Labour鈥檚 left-wing leadership around Jeremy Corbyn that she will be rewarded with a further five years in office.

It is, of course, a complete coincidence that rumours had started to emerge that the Crown Prosecution Service were about to move against 30 individuals for electoral fraud in the last general election, threatening the Conservative government.

Britain: Brexit hardliners take control

The new administration of Prime Minister Theresa May marks a sharp shift in Britain's Conservative Party government towards the xenophobic right. May has had a remarkable clearout of ministers who served under ex-PM David Cameron 鈥 who resigned after leading the failed campaign to stay in the European Union 鈥 in order to shape the government in her image.
