Still very chuffed with this achievement! Recognition is hard to come by for Black folk from working class backgrounds. Get your copy here! plutobooks.com/9780745346519/…

I'm trying to write more (and quicker) so I channelled some of my excitement about the announcement of a New Left Party into an article grouping together texts that I think will be useful as we enter into a new period of struggle. L!nk below
Upping this again in light of the new left party launch. Sign up here: yourparty.uk and join me and thousands of others in building a democratic party that can coordinate and fight for working class power and an alternative vision of life.
I joined the chorus of people writing about a new leftwing party. Others have written about internal dynamics, so I put some thought into the question of outwards-orientation and strategic focus, particularly the rather large matter of class remaking: tinyurl.com/bde24xk8
🤣🤣🤣
Keir Starmer's reaction when he found out 500,000 people had signed up to @jeremycorbyn and @zarahsultana's 'Your Party'
This is huge. It vindicates the strategy of civil disobedience and withdrawing consent to this authoritarian clampdown.
🚨BREAKING: Policing of Palestine Action protests in disarray as police decide not to arrest sign-holders for terrorism in Totnes and Edinburgh Defend Our Juries: “The chorus of disapproval for Yvette Cooper’s barmy order grows louder by the day.” full: docs.google.com/document/d/1EI…
"Kinder Gentler Politics" Needs to Eat Shit This time around. If they GO low, You need to fucking drag those cunts to Hell.
The pathetic HIGNFY post has now been deleted. I told you: we are not going to take this anymore. Join us: yourparty.uk
Fiona did really well here. Farage had little of substance to say beyond trying to ridicule her ideas. Also finding it slightly surreal that the place in the media landscape we get a discussion about revolution and anticapitalism is... GB News 🤦🏿♂️
I told Farage that Jeremy's new party is coming for all the liars, thieves and warmongers. Including Starmer and including HIM. "How are you going to pay for it?" THE MONEY IS THERE! Join the revolutionary communists, and join the new party!
First off you spelt Zarah's name wrong. Secondly, you're completely wrong! A Red/Green alliance will be a formidable force, like in many other countries. A Green Party led by more of the same centrism will collapse under the weight of a real alternative to Labour.
So Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana are indeed starting a new party. This blows Zack Polanski's leadership pitch out of the water. It's crucial now more than ever that we maintain a distinct Green Party identity as Ellie and me are arguing. Let's not become the support act.
This is extremely good, read it!

It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up at yourparty.uk.
"I think that's absolutely true if you're not recognising inequality in society then you're not credible". Clever, slick. Flips what Adrian uses as a diss, to show how detached Adrian is. This takes skill, its hard to teach. Some people just have it.
'Zack thinks every problem comes down to if you're in the 99% or the 1%.' 'That is absolutely true.' @AdrianRamsay and @ZackPolanski debate who can 'cut through' better as the next leader of the Green Party.
Watching this, one of these guys is a slimy politician. One is a guy who wants to use politics to make the world a better place. Communications isn't the be-all and end-all of politics and movement building. But it's bloody important.
'You can't even bring yourself to say that you like Zack Polanski?' @IainDale has to coax @AdrianRamsay into admitting he likes his Green Party colleague and leadership opponent.
Very good
⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
Can't wait for Zack to duppy these fools.
Shocking answer from Ellie Chowns on trans issues at today's East Mids conference hustings. Where Zack talked about healthcare & the need for trans representation in politics, Ellie talked about how the Supreme Court judgment has clarified the difference between sex & gender...
BREAKING: Protestors outside Truro Cathedral in Cornwall, hold signs which say: "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." Similar protests are also taking place today in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Derry.
Yes. It's a post-Holocaust term used to erase the centuries of Christian and Western persecution of Jews, rehabilitate the Christian West's image after the Holocaust, and define Islam as the new barbarism.
It makes me wonder whether "Judeo-Christian" is a term deliberately invented specifically to mean "not Islam"
