Big numbers signing up to the new left party in London, Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle. This detail comes via a message from Pamela Fitzpatrick, read out on The Crispin Flintoff Show this morning. Note: council elections are due in these Labour strongholds next May…
The Labour Right is going to be shaking. Half a million fleas!
We've reached 500,000 'sign-ups' and counting! Everyone loves our chart. Everyone except the establishment parties, who are in a blind panic. Oh, and Reform UK members it seems. If you want to debate the accuracy, consider this: Labour's claim still to have 309k members is…
