    Lord Roy Hattersley, the former Deputy Leader of the Labour party. He was born and brought up in Sheffield. In his book A Yorkshire Boyhood, he confessed to being passionate about three things: Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, Yorkshire County Cricket and socialist politics. His friend and colleague, Lord Kinnock, pays tribute.

    Daphne Hamilton-Fairley, spoke out for tolerance after her husband was killed by an IRA bomb. He had inspired her to become a speech therapist and after his death she set up one of the first specialist schools for dyslexia and other special educational needs. She named it Fairley House, after her husband. Her daughter Diana Hamilton-Fairley shares her memories.

    Roger Cook was the intrepid investigative journalist who pioneered the technique known as “doorstepping” - challenging those he suspected of wrongdoing face to face with the camera or tape recorder running. First on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme Checkpoint and then on ITV’s The Cook Report he took on criminals and fraudsters on behalf of listeners and viewers. Matthew talks to his colleague Tim Tate.

    Sterling Betancourt was a pioneer of steel pan music from Trinidad and Tobago. He was one of the first to bring the instrument to Britain in the 1950s and went on to play a big role in the early days of the Notting Hill Carnival. Sterling’s wife Beatrice Elokbi tells his story.

    Powerful writing by #MartinFlanagan about an icon of Labor as a party of the people, a party with principles.

    It's unfair to compare Tom Uren with Roger Cook (or Anthony Albanese).
    But here we are, with our corporate captured Labor leaders boosting weapons manufacture and complicit in the Zionists' genocide in Palestine.

  25. Gee, the +50 year old Decentralisation flag has been restitched and run up the flag pole in 2026.

    Cookie will be winning votes in the regions now. The LNP may as well go Green.

    With all the $$$ sloshing round WA now, and the housing crisis ongoing, it's imaginable that some of these cities will actually be grown.

    But the chances of them getting a fair go from the Perthlings politically is less than slim.

    And our dear, so beloved, Cook Labor government, goes to great lengths to make it clear to landlords that tenancy laws are not going to get changed.

    And with The Greens sidelined by the media, including WA's Kerry Stokes' media, the vote for ON looks likely to rise further. 🤮

  35. CW: domestic violence

    "Stalker keeps Aust visa"
    The article below from WA's Post newspaper March 7th 2026 gives a chilling gauge on the acceptability of violence against women in Australia and WA.

    Anthony Albanese's big handwaving about stopping domestic violence has obviously passed on by and it's back to violence against women as normal.
