The National Council of People Before Profit met on Sunday for the first time in Belfast, rather than in Dublin – our usual venue. And what could be more fitting than to have the meeting in West Belfast, where PBP Cllr Jerry Carol came second only to Sinn Fein in the recent election. This unprecedented achievement puts socialism back on the agenda in West Belfast. Jerry’s breakthrough has been hailed as ‘historic’ and delegates to the meeting, from PBP branches ’round the country, were in good form as we debated strategies that will lead the struggle forward into the coming period.
