If a Corbyn or a Corbyn-Sultana party were to get off the ground, what would your attitude towards it be? Feel free to elaborate in the comments

A weird personal phenomena is happening to me as a consequence of the genocide in Gaza. And I haven’t processed it all yet, but…. I haven’t considered myself “Christian” in a long time; I was raised Serbian Orthodox. But watching how Christian Zionists and Zionists use the…

I don't understand why this is evidence against James Schneider. He wrote this document on antisemitism when he worked for the Labour Party so it expresses Labour's positions under Corbyn - zionists are welcome etc. It would have been approved by Karie Murphy who ran the office.
This author of this document—now married to Starmer’s Downing Street Press Secretary—should not be involved in the formation or management of Corbyn/Sultana’s new party, and him having such a senior role should be massively concerning to everyone who has signed up.
Israel is a threat to global security. It's a threat to common morality. A threat to humanity. To life itself.
BREAKING: The Netherlands officially labels Israel a national security threat for the first time over political interference.
I have signed up to Corbyn's new party and I recommend everyone else does so as well. We have to ensure that it will be an actually anti-Zionist, anti-imperialist socialist labour party, not a bullshit Owen Jones Guardian George Monbiot NATO "soft left" Labour clone
I just found out I can vote in polls run by people who have blocked me. For future reference, did I breach some kind of etiquette by doing so?
Israel is about to cause mass starvation and uncontrollable deaths across Gaza and the British state is arresting a man in a wheelchair for wearing a t-shirt. These are the end times
A disabled man was arrested today at an anti-genocide rally in Shenstone, Staffordshire, for wearing a tee-shirt
Why not stop oil shipments, trade, flights, and diplomatic relations between Erdogan and Netanyahu first, and then protest against Egypt?
Women activists shut the gates of the Egyptian embassy in Ankara, Turkiye, calling for the Egyptian authorities to immediately open the Rafah border crossing for aid to be allowed into Gaza.
What comes to mind? lots of things
What comes to mind when you see this?
Air drops are an assault on the dignity and humanity of Palestinians. The West could compel Israel to open the borders of Gaza to trucks immediately if it wanted to.
Today, the Israeli Air Force dropped ‘aid’ over Gaza,parachutes descending into a city hollowed by hunger. The starving clashed, stabbed, and trampled for a bag of food. Some died with bread in their hands,not from bombs, but from a war against dignity. This was never mercy. It…
No, we're not going to allow people who dutifully handwaved this atrocity for years to slip in behind us and pretend that they never did. Accountability.
Tweeting "I told you so" at people who change their mind about what's happening in Gaza does nothing to help the kids who are being starved to death. Welcome people into the tent. Build a bigger coalition and use it to force political change.
Germany is in the grip of a national psychosis in which they seem to think that by allowing the supposed representatives of some of the victims of 1 of their 3 genocides to themselves commit a genocide, & beating the shit out of anyone who disagrees, they will somehow be absolved…
This was Germany today: police brutally beating up peaceful protesters against genocide in Gaza. Imagine destroying your own democracy so that another country can continue to commit genocide.
Exactly. One skill the left needs to develop is the ability to focus on the merits of what's being said; not on who's saying it. I remember being denounced a few years ago on here with the scathing insult: 'You only support Corbyn when you agree with him!' Well, er, yes...
Why pick on Schnieder then? Who's proposing a more democratic structure than the other faction in the top team?
I think the focus of this is wrong. We have to accept that the leadership won't be great and that there's not a lot we can do about that. The key is to work on the membership, to ensure it develops critical thinking faculties, and is more politically savvy than last time.
Judging by the responses to yesterdays tweet, much of the left wants for the new party: 1) No Novara Media involvement 2) No Schneider involvement 3) A different team to last time 4) No executive "top table" 5) No pundit-leaders 6) No spooks in the room Is that too much to ask?

The great Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges (1899 – 1986) explains why English is “a far finer language than Spanish.” I was very impressed by his collection of short stories, Ficciones.
People keep asking me how and why am I so assured of Israel's demise. First, I'm not the only person saying this. There are historians who have studied the repeating trajectories of colonial projects and empires who have no doubt of Israel's demise, though they set a longer…
