The 'Dave with no GCSEs and a tooth missing' discourse is so boring at this point. Plenty of white working-class people who are not racist. And plenty of posh privately educated people in our political and media class seeking to divide us.

Polanski’s critique of NATO is based on Trump *not being pro war enough* on Ukraine and Russia. He is absolutely parroting the militarist line. We should want better than a populist demagogue - we need an independent mass workers party and that will never be the Greens
Sad to hear Zack defending NATO. Green support for NATO is a huge problem and those who try and ignore or underrate it are foolish. This means effectively that the British Greens are on a similar trajectory as their peers in the EU and will support NATO offensives in the future. And NATO as constituted cannot exist without the US. It's role in Libya, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, etc, speaks volumes.

I say this as someone training to be a lawyer: we shouldn't be involving lawyers. That includes Team Corbyn, and their ridiculous accusations about a data breach and their reporting of Sultana to the ICO. PSA to everyone: stop running to the bourgeois state!

I just can’t sign up to the eulogies being given already for Your Party. The moment is too serious and the opportunity too great to give up so easily

you may think that it would be in the interests of the movement for documents like these to be published openly. i would implore @zarahsultana and @jeremycorbyn and others involved to publish the full minutes & other relevant documents of the process so far

With the glacial pace of the development of Your Party rivalling the pace of the heat death of the universe, Archie Woodrow (@SamuraiApology) examines the progress so far, the inner factions and their politics. prometheusjournal.org/2025/0…

Regardless of Corbyn’s views, the rest of us should make sure that YP is anti-Zionist. If he is a democrat, he will respect the will of the hundreds of thousands of people who want a political party that not only opposes this genocide but opposes the movement behind it

I would love to see this happen purely for the shadenfreude but I reckon if polls like these hold till the next election, Streeting is gonna stand for a safer seat and the entire media circus will just say “fuck you this is normal actually”
🚨 Projected outcome in Wes Streeting's seat: 🟣 Your Party – 40% (new) 🔴 LAB – 19% (-14) 🔵 CON – 19% (-2) ➡️ REF – 15% (+7) 🟠 LD – 4% (+2) 🟢 GRN – 4% (-) Your Party GAIN from Labour

Then don't participate in invisible stitch-ups. Publish your plans & explain how they can be amended
"People think politicians drive change. But people drive change. It starts with having a voice — and fighting for what's right." That's why we're building Your Party rooted in people power — not lobbyists or stitched-up party machines. ✅ Politicians who serve their communities — not themselves. ❌ No gatekeepers. No opaque deals. A truly democratic structure, with real accountability to the grassroots. A voice for every member. ✍️ Sign up to shape it: yourparty.uk/#//

“My scrub nurse that I was working with every single day was followed home by a quad copter drone, and it didn’t kill him on the way home… it waiting until he was home, in his tent, and greeted his three children and killed them all”
Dr Nada Al Hadithy, a Consultant Plastic Surgeon who has just returned from Nasser Hospital in Gaza, told us about the starvation, 'relentless' injuries, and targeting of health workers she witnessed when working there.

How the new Left Party will be structured and what its purpose will be remain open questions. We republish a recent piece by @maxshanly that offers a framework for building a democratic and socialist party. prometheusjournal.org/2025/0…

But not stop arms sales to israel, or impose economic sanctions, or end RAF surveillance flights over Gaza? Vast majority of MPs signing this are doing it to mask their collusion in the genocide; only a tiny handful have opposed it
🚨 UPDATE: 221 MPs from 9 parties have signed the joint letter calling on Keir Starmer to recognise a Palestinian state

The only two names I’ve heard that I would accept are Democratic Socialist Party, or Popular Front. I don’t think the new party would have to be tied to the historical ideologies/practices those names might conjur up

Btw, the Portuguese Wikipedia article about Jean Charles’ murder has a section about former edits defaming him in the English version, coming from UK government IP addresses (as reported in 2014 by the The Guardian and Channel 4). The English Wiki article doesn’t mention this
Twenty years ago today, Jean Charles de Menezes was assassinated at Stockwell station. Head of the Met Police, Ian Blair, was made a Lord. Cressida Dick, who led the operation, was promoted to Blair's position.
