offsite link It?s Not ?CSE?. It?s Child Rape Tue May 13, 2025 17:30 | Joanna Gray
It's not 'CSE'. It's child rape, says Joanna Gray. Enough with the sterile acronyms that seem designed to conceal the horror. Enough of the "bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language" (Wittgenstein).

It's going to take more than a Supreme Court judgment to flush gender pseudoscience out of the NHS, says Caroline Ffiske. In every policy and definition the NHS has dropped biological sex in favour of subjective feelings.

Labour Youth Press release

Following Labour Youth's annual conference the following press release has been issued.

PRESS RELEASE

Labour Youth Call for Independent Electoral Strategy in Wake of Recent Polls

Labour Youth, the youth section of the Labour Party, has reiterated its call for an independent electoral strategy in advance of the upcoming general election.

At its annual Youth Conference in UCD this weekend, delegates overwhelmingly endorsed a strategy which would see Labour stand independently of the Fine Gael transfer pact. While reaffirming the commitment to maximise Labour support, delegates also voted for a non-cooperation policy with the distribution of material which calls for a transfer to Fine Gael at the next election.

Patrick Nulty, the newly elected National Chairperson of Labour Youth said, "we in Labour Youth have consistently argued that an electoral pact with Fine Gael would be damaging to the Labour Party's prospects at the next election. We feel that the drop in Labour support in recent polls is directly connected to the party's myopic electoral strategy," he said.

"We are convinced that the best way to maximise support for Labour candidates and policies at the next election is an independent Labour platform firmly grounded in our core values," Nulty said.

Over 100 delegates from across Ireland, along with a number of international guests, attended the Conference, which was addressed by Labour leader Pat Rabbitte and leading anti-war advocate George Galloway MP.

Delegates also reaffirmed their strong support and campaign for a full US military withdrawal from Shannon airport, same sex marriage, a woman's right to choose and a complete ban of all corporate to political parties. They also expressed strong support for the Shell to Sea campaign and an end to the US blockade of Cuba.

ENDS

Labour Youth is the youth section of the Labour Party in Ireland, with over 1000 members in constituencies and colleges across the country. For more information please contact:
