I love our kit reveals. Big fuss. Flashy videos. Tension. Oh look a stripey top! #saintsfc

Mr “if you don’t like it… the door is open”, whose allies said it was “shaking off the fleas. “ Who kicked out life long members for spurious reasons & factionalism. Who allowed Labour Together to bully journalists and hire their organisers as MPs. Lied to be elected as… 1/3
🚨 NEW: A Labour source says Keir Starmer feels "betrayed" "He gave everything to Labour, including sacrificing much of his children's teenage years to help make the party electable. He feels deeply betrayed, especially by those he believed were loyal to him"

Leader pretending to be Corbynism without Corbyn; then ripped up the all of the pledges as soon as elected. Reduced & u-turned of manifesto pledges seemingly constantly. Pretended to be economically muscular by cutting Winter Fuel payments. Removed whip from MPs that voted…2/3

Removal of child benefit cap to then u-turn the decision, with much patting of backs and some MPs still suspended. Supported Israel actions in Gaza; including the stop of water & energy. Deeply cynical and arrogant man who still won’t accept he’s hated across the country. 3/3

Sack them all. Sport Republic sell the club. Full apology and contrition from Club to fans and players. This would be a start, but still nothing. #SaintsFC

Completely agree, although not just replaced by Greens. As said before, when Corbyn became leader we didn’t know we had already lost; Labour First and others had already filled bureaucracy of the Party with their faction. Therefore to change the Party it needs to be replaced.
Labour cannot be reformed. It has to be replaced.

What John and others should be aware of from the ‘Corbyn Years’ is that the Party is lost; controlled by factionalism deeply internally. Labour First had already won by taking the tools of power & bureaucracy of the Party. A new reset would not be enough.
To all those Labour Party members and supporters who will feel so disappointed this morning I just say first the nightmare of Reform was blocked & second it was Labour Together that lost this election not the Labour Party that I know & have supported all my adult life.

My issue with a lot of the Your Party slate ‘debates’ is that a large section of the left can’t see life beyond organising within the capitalist state. Change can only come building in society (community, culture, workplace) not just gaining members and expecting votes.

To add my two pennies worth I have voted for the @Grassroots_Left slate in full. We must not have a Labour Party 2.0. We need a real grassroots community & workplace organising movement.

Solidarity to those rising against an authoritarian theocratic regime in Iran. No solidarity to those who say they support protesters abroad but attack them at home. No to those who say freedom in Iran but literally support genocide in Gaza.

Fantastic news!
🚨 I am delighted to have been elected as UNISON's next General Secretary. This is a win for ordinary UNISON members. Read my statement below:

Is it time to take “The Labour Party” to court under the trades description act?

Proud to launch our Right to Food Commission yesterday. Thank you to our Chair, Commissioners, the University of Westminster, and all MPs & trade unions who pledged their support. We’ll now travel the UK to gather evidence that will shape a roadmap for putting a Right to Food into law. Millions go hungry every day. Hunger is a political choice and it needs a political solution. #RightToFood #HungerIsAPoliticalChoice

The “Independent Alliance” needs to step away and let the members found and build the party. Every step they seem to take is a self imposed error.
*Statement from the Independent Alliance of MPs* "Your Party’s founding purpose is to stand for the many against the few who hold the wealth and power in our country. Thousands of ordinary people have given their time and money to build a real alternative to endless cuts and endless war. "A dedicated team of volunteers has been working on a shoestring budget to deliver a founding conference at the end of the month. Their efforts are heroic, but without funding Your Party’s capacity has been severely restricted. Hundreds of thousands of pounds were donated to the party by supporters in good faith, but have since remained beyond its reach. This has been extremely frustrating and disheartening. "A small portion of these funds was today transferred to Your Party. This is insufficient. We will continue to pursue the immediate transfer of all the money that was donated by supporters to get a new party off the ground, alongside a resolution to outstanding legal issues. "Building a democratic party from the ground up was never going to be smooth sailing. Some of the difficulties we have faced were inevitable, but others were deliberate acts. "Our focus remains on delivering a historic founding conference, so we can turn outward to offer a popular alternative based on public ownership, wealth taxes and solidarity. There’s no time to lose." Shockat Adam MP Jeremy Corbyn MP Adnan Hussain MP Ayoub Khan MP Iqbal Mohamed MP

Why do this? This just making yourselves look even worse!

Food banks cannot and should not be the solution to hunger in the UK. We need change. Repost if you agree.

When there is no-one “Left” to attack they attack themselves.
