How the BBC Pushed Reform?s Triumph Down the Running Order and Set the News Agenda Sat May 03, 2025 11:00 | Sallust
Reform repainted the political landscape on Friday, but by the evening the BBC had already replaced the story at the top of the headlines with something about Harry moaning. Will the BBC ever get its priorities right?

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5This archive should be an invaluable tool to pull together the splintered fragments of the FI in Ireland.
Jim et al,Fair play for providing web space for this subject. Some initial comments.
re Marxist archive? from the intro it appears to be a Trotskyist Archive?
Re the Links
I know it is only up and running but
why link to the British SWP and not their Irish web site?
Why no link to the Socialist Party in Ireland
Why is the link to the Communist Party not titled Communist Party of Ireland? Why no link to Sicialist Democracy?
(re Left republican links)Why no links to IRSP, Sinn Fein, Workers Party, Official Republican Movement?
It is a new site. I gather that it is intended to link at least the Trotskyist Parties active in Ireland. I will pass on any sites posted here.
It is meant to be an archive of basically early texts from the Trotskyist movement. I will suggest that they change the reference on the CPI.
The WSM has a good archival site on Anarchist figures including Jack White who was a founder of the Citizen army and who was in Spain during the Civil war.
The idea is not to duplicate stuff done elsewhere.For example there is an incredible amount of Connolly material available on the web and there is a site which is gathering and posting up all Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky and other figures in a number of languages.
I am sure that the other ideological tendencies are doing similar things
Added to Workers' Republic Website:
Report to Trotsky on prospects in Ireland (1935) and related to this, an interview with CLR James (1986)
Correspondence between Nora Connolly O'Brien & Leon Trotsky (1936)
Letter from Sherman Stanley (The New International, May 1939)
Michael Farrell, The Struggle in the North (1970)
DR O'Connor Lysaght, The Survival of the Irish National Question (1990)
Spartacist, 'Theses on Ireland' (1977)
Report of Engels' Tour of Ireland (1856)
Jim Connell & The Red Flag (1889)

'They say that leaders always emerge, no matter what the ideals or the systems of democracy that are put in place. Well, this may or may not be true, but what is the case is that arseholes certainly do.'
I'm one of the people responsible for the Website, so I'll answer some of the comments so far.
Firstly, if you get past the intro, you'll see that the site isn't exclusively Trotskyist, though that is the background of the people involved.
The links have been improved. It no longer links to the British SWP. There is and always has been a link to the Socialist Party in Ireland. I would like to link to as many Irish left organisations as possible and am open to anyone who sends me a url for inclusion.
As Jim has said, it is meant to be materials which are not available elsewhere, so it will never duplicate what Republican organisations or the Marxist Internet Archive have done.
The site will be updated on a weekly basis. If anyone has documents they think people would be interested in, then I'm open to suggestions.
The url of the site has changed to a more memorable address: www.workersrepublic.org.
