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
An honour. If you don’t follow, subscribe and listen to @Red_Medicine__ you are totally missing out x
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
The establishment sneered, mocked and laughed at us. They’re not laughing now. We’ve hit 500,000 in just THREE days. The fightback has begun. Join us: yourparty.uk
A glimpse of a now-rare communist spirit—so determined that solidarity completely sidelines self-interest. The kind of fierce commitment we need today & only a truly radical movement can revive on the left. Georges Abdallah is a living insurgency against comfortable complacency.
I felt his rage & desperation when he shook the mic of a journalist representing so many Arabs in her prioritization of individual safety over the murder of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. He is trying to shake some humanity, faith, & sense into millions of Arabs.
Half a million people signing up to a call for a new left-wing party in Britain is actually very significant and without parallel in living memory.
These numbers are absolutely astounding. Completely unprecedented. Even if they don’t all end up as party members the phenomenon of this level of sign up speaks to huge potential for the left in this country.
I’m in Birmingham this morning to join bin workers on the picket line. No worker should face an £8,000 cut to their pay. An injury to one is an injury to all. Let’s tax the billionaires and give to those who keep our country running!
Solidarity with all striking doctors. You are worth more to society than the politicians and pundits demonising you for demanding your worth. They wouldn't last a day in your shoes.
In under 10 hours, 140,000 of you have signed up and sent a clear message: We’re not going to take this anymore. The time is now. Join us: yourparty.uk
Labour has already lost to Reform. Anybody pretending a new left party is to blame are passing the buck for their own incompetence. What a new left party WILL do, is ensure strong opposition to the horrors to come, without the capitulation and cowardice we expect from Labour.
140,000 signed up on Day 1. If that converts to membership, we’d overtake the Tories
Not launched, not even named, yet you've not stopped tweeting about it all day. Corbyn has you shook, and for very good reason.
Reform registered its largest ever poll lead today, with almost as much support as Labour and the Tories combined. And Corbyn’s Labour munching party hasn’t even launched properly yet. Let that sink in! 🇬🇧
This is extremely good, read it!

this is actually great lmao - Corbyn back in his element once you've thrown things open to the movement! trying to force him to be a Lenin or a Melenchon clearly was a mistake!
"If you've got a good suggestion, bring it on." Independent MP @JeremyCorbyn encourages people to contribute ideas for a name for the new party he is setting up with ex-Labour MP @ZarahSultana. Latest ➡️ trib.al/Cy5YecA 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602 and Freeview 233
Unlike Reform, we’re doing things differently with democracy & inclusivity at the core. From the launch to the party, conference, structures & yes - even the name! - we’re building it together. It might feel unfamiliar to you. It’s called democracy. 🔗 yourparty.uk
From a branding perspective this is one of the worst party names ever.
Let's fucking goooooooo
It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up at yourparty.uk.
This is good stuff.
⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
