North-east women show sexist Reformers where to get off?

 

Last week's racist march and the anti racist march in Newcastle upon Tyne brought out the long history of the North-east’s maternal society.

History shows that women right across the region had to manage their families while their partners struggled to bring home the bacon. Those women ruled so strongly and managed so well as to be admired by others.

Today, many North-east women realise how anti-women and sexist REFORM leaders have become and last week's anti-racist march was filled with those women who recall or are still part of the local maternal society showing us all why REFORM is not of any benefit to our families our history and our culture right across the North-east.

Britcard and Children’s online safety is changing the way people think about Labour

Since May 2024 the nation have derided most policies issued by the Labour Government. Why? Because their communication spin is pathetically benign, old fashioned and no time is given for absorption through dissipation among all sectors of society before the cutlasses of the online hussars are allowed to hack the items to death.

Two recent possible changes and a closed session meeting with online experts seem to be making the change Labour needs as its comms team have been left behind as these issues have been brought forward early through other media methods.

The first swerve away from Lab-comms, Britcard, has crept in from the government online e-business sector and has grown in popularity with most sectors of the public as reports that small boat crossings have crept up to an all time high. The French Government has pointed out that the huge increase in crossings is because migrants know that it’s easier to work in the UK illegally than in any other Euro country as no mandatory Identification system has existed since 1952.

The old arguments against mandatory ID cards have been nullified as the heavy use of polling to harvest the feelings of various age groups has eased the policy in with the knowledge that pensioners who almost have an id scheme in place through the national bus pass scheme the security that a new mandatory ID system would bring them for example in assisting the elderly to identify tradespeople who are engaged to work in their home would appear to be exceptionally comforting is the polls on this matter are correct.

Greece are using their ID card system to stop the huge number of migrants from Libya and the UK can follow their lead.

Younger people have engaged as they can see the advantages an ID system can bring them with safe e-access to everything they may need including e-signatures, with firms getting immediate access to whether recruits have the right to work in the UK or not e.g. students outstaying their visa entitlements being a prime example of how a mandatory system can be used to benefit younger service users.

The second issue lies in the description of government led initiatives and how workers and the elderly recognise them as being safe and sound to use. A prime example is the roll out of Family Start it doesn’t gel.

But as we all know it’s historical predecessor Sure Start was a winner with families before being killed off by the Tories.

Labour should get back to the future and revive the success story and family acceptance of Sure Start and bring in an advertising firm to sell one of the UK’s best services to the nation and kickstart round 2.

Instead they ran out a great initiative to safeguard children online and had an immediate visit from the jackbooted hussars including their Leader who is set against the matter in principle and the poor comms initiative allowed it to be dashed against the rocks before ordinary folk understood what was going on.

The third move forward is to organise a meeting between party leaders and the nations e- elite who can sell the changes required by the Nation via their well formed algorithms to us all at a rate and pace so we can understand the why’s and wherefore’s of policy and not be distracted by Lab-comms stickers and the hussars cutlasses clanking right across the governments turf.

South-East Northumberland Cinema Overload, Who will blink first?

Obsessive social media users may have noticed that this year's prize for the ugliest new build in the UK is leaning fairly and squarely towards Glen Sanderson’ the Tory Leader of Northumberland County Council’s ‘cinema and conservative culture centre smack bang in the middle of the Counties largest town, Blyth.

It featured in a recent article in the SUN newspaper blaming Labour for the state of the Town, missing out the fact that the decision making at County Hall has been orchestrated by the Tories since 2017 with the SUN backing a shift to REFORM whose recent articles on social media seem to lean towards a liking for the ‘brick cree’ as its becoming referred to yet Blyth residents appear to abhor its existence.

But today we need to shift the argument away from politics towards the poorly managed business model being chosen to be delivered to South East Northumberlands residents by Tories at County Hall.

Cinemas are in decline worldwide. This decline is attributed to several factors, including the rise of streaming services, economic challenges, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet even after this decline was well and truly documented Northumberland Tories chose the option to build two new cinemas in addition to the well established Vue cinema in Cramlington, one in Blyth and one in Ashington.

It's the economic challenge which interests us at SEN as the cinema running costs will fall fairly and squarely onto the very tightly squeezed (through the Tories massive borrowing costs) finances, as your Council Tax will be exposed to the cost of these new cinemas if they can’t wipe their nose, these are costs which should not sit on your shoulders.

The competition is immense in the cinema world and pressure from entertainment facilities across the Tyne and Wear conurbation have just opened up to easy access to SEN residents with the reopening of the Northumberland Line to passenger transport.

Residents need to keep up the pressure on South East Northumberland’s new County Councillors to ensure the costs of these facilities don’t sit as a burden on your household bill for years to come as at least one of these sites will be in financial trouble once the novelty of a new cinema in your Town has worn off.

Labour, creating the best climate and opportunities for young people to get a career for life since 1965.

 

Immigration?
Slowing mass immigration, the wish of the Labour Party in office to  appease those whipped up by ultra right wing populism, the mainstream press and social media.

The Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill creates a framework of new, enhanced powers and offences to improve UK border security and to strengthen the asylum and immigration system.

The fallout from this piece of legislation is enormous with all sorts of businesses who use cheaper workers from abroad realising suddenly that the ‘gravy train’ has crashed into the buffers and will run no more.

The only way out for them is to enhance pay and train UK residents. The life chances for young people starting out on their chosen careers is enormous.

This new legislation raises great opportunities for younger people from across the social divide to gain access to training needed to fill the vacancies made available through Labour’s growth program and the loss of trade to gangmasters and agents, who in the care industry bring in 40,000 more immigrants on work visas than jobs available in the marketplace each and every year.

Keeping on the subject of care a homeowner sits high up the list of rich people from the north of England on the back of profits from granny farming,the list sits below.

Other industries have yet to publish their needed figures and the race for NET-ZERO will bring a wealth of young talent into this ever growing industry.

Some areas of long term job security have published their figures hoping to gain space in further education facilities before others get up and running, The Construction Industry has stated that it requires 25,000 bricklayers, 3,000 plumbers, 4,000 plasterers, 10,000 joiner/carpenters and 3,000 electricians, these jobs for young people will last them their whole life. As homes and buildings are constructed they then need maintenance and servicing by the same crafts persons.

The NHS already has its training nailed in but will now face open competition for young people as the range of jobs on offer to young people expands through the Government's current growth plans, new methods of attracting young people into the NHS must be rapidly rolled out but the NHS could profit from the change brought forward from hacking back on immigration by offering the care industry the chance to train for them as both businesses need similar strictly monitored skill sets.

In the world of agriculture still reeling from the realisation that it must now pay unto Caesar and change to increase both supply and profit as the Government continues to pour £millions into farmers pockets through subsidies, that cheap labour is no more and they must now compete to attract workers in to help them reap their harvest. Checks on the workforce is now an element of DWP work and the crime agencies who between them will ensure gang exploitation is driven out of farming and modern slavery disappears from the country scene.

But back to opportunity, In 1959, Harold Macmillan, then Prime Minister, used the phrase "You've never had it so good" to address the general public and highlight the period of prosperity the UK was experiencing but it was under the Harold Wilson Labour Government in 1965 which saw the maximum number of young people enter training to take up careers which would last their whole life. Lets hope our current youngsters can see the wood from the trees and grasp the opportunities this Labour Government is creating for them.
