Browsing: Labour Party

The Labour Party is a political party which adopts the ideology of democratic socialism and social democracy. The Labour Party is a centre-left political party in the United Kingdom.

It is currently led by Jeremy Corbyn who had never held a position of authority as a minister – his first post of any significance was when he was elected as leader of party in 2015.

His politics are rebelious and against the Britain that is eager to join foreign wars and pallid in the face of social inequality. “There has to be some kind of a reckoning,”

 

Sunday’s front pages feature a wide variety of international and domestic stories – some feature ongoing topics whilst other papers lead with exclusives.

Just as building more houses spreads ownership, jobs and opportunities, boosting public sector productivity would result in a leaner, more effective state that better serves British interests. Instead, we are getting a warm-up for a much more predictable second act: Tax rises are coming, look behind you!”

As it has been for much of this week, the front pages continue to be dominated by domestic politics and football. Friday sees stories on prison reform, the prime minister’s first overseas trip to attend a Nato summit in Washington, the two-child benefit cap and the rise in the value of the pound on the foreign currency markets.

Elsewhere, almost all of the front pages splash on the England football team ahead of the European Championship final on Sunday. England will face Spain at the Olympiastadion Berlin. The back pages continue the Euros coverage.

It’s Friday morning and the UK has a new government! Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has been handed a colossal mandate from the public, waving goodbye to 14 years of Conservative rule. 

All the UK newspapers lead on the news but feature the exit poll results – which were issued around 10 pm on Thursday – due to the papers being sent to print.
