News Greece disaster


Greece faces a critical 24 hours as European leaders gather for an emergency summit in Brussels that could break the deadlock around the country's debt crisis. On Sunday, Greek PM Alexis Tsipras set out new proposals to try to prevent a default on a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) IMF loan One European official said the proposals held plenty of promise Greece must repay the loan by the end of June or risk crashing out of the single currency and possibly the EU.

Talks have been in deadlock for five months, with the European Commission, the IMF and the European Central Bank (ECB) unwilling to unlock the final €7.2bn tranche of bailout funds until Greece agrees to economic reforms they want to see introduced.

The three creditors must agree to the deal offered by Greece to ensure Monday's talks have a clear focus The head of the European Commission president's cabinet, Martin Selmayr, said in twitter that Greece's latest offer had been received by its creditors.

In my opinion , the Greek crisis supports the idea of leaving the EU as if they fail to make the payment it will have an impact on Britain to support Greece with increased finances, as the united kingdom are one of the biggest contributors into the EU , this will support the no campaign because people are sick of supporting countries like Greece , Italy or Spain which subsequently raises taxation which is very unpopular thus meaning the no campaign will gather support.

Plan- representation of the working class


To gather sufficient research to support my coursework I have various ideas ; for example , studying different forms of media such as television initially I think of programmes such as Jeremy Kyle and goggelbox as it compares social classes . In addition, how newspapers and magazines target the working class subsequently this will contribute to my primary research. Also, I will search the internet for similar reports and different opinions as people such as Russell Brand who have very strong critisms regarding the representation of the working class.

The contest was sparked by Ed Miliband's resignation in wake of the party's electoral defeat in May.Labour was reduced to 232 MPs, after suffering heavy losses at the hands of the SNP in Scotland and failing to make ground in southern England.Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North, says he has 22 declared supporters.

In my opinion, the leadership race of the Labour party Is ccrucial to the direction the party goes in.Whether it is the left wing politics of Ed Milliband which failed dramatically as Labour lost over 50 seats which were considered safe and many more in England. This suggests That whoever the leader is they will employ A ssimilar philosophy to Tony Blair who occupied the centre ground and won 3 consecutive elections.
