A supportive but at times critical #YourParty feed. Excited about huge potential & worried about a f#@k up (personality cults, bureaucratic party positions; transparency etc). We'll see. Reserve the right to block anything I see as unhelpful &/or offensive

The right have just carried out a successful hit on the BBC, forcing a Tory Director-General to resign. Expect even more positive coverage of Reform.

I'm not proposing anything. Just observing, thinking & asking Qs :-) Doesn't #DemocraticCentralism within a #Marxist #Leninist vanguard party framework by definition prevent #SWP members et al from joining a different party? @alexcallinicos.bsky.social et al Am I missing something here?
Are you proposing that a significant left organisation should be excluded? Whose interests would that serve?

Unaccountable & unnamed people &or groups behind any authoritarian tendencies MUST be challenged & called out if #YourParty is to be what the 800,000 signed up to. Current membership of 50,000 + those who signed up prior is NOT a great conversion FOR A REASON We need #Transparency not #Propaganda.
Me and some friends from #demsocs organised a 'dotocratic' intervention at the South London #yourparty founding assembly on Sunday. It was a lot of fun for everybody and introduced some badly needed democracy to the event. I wrote a report on the results […]

Wes Streeting is steering the NHS straight into the jaws of corporate predators, and Palantir.
Labour's aggressive push into life sciences and AI Growth Zones is turbocharged by the controversial data giant's deep ties to the NHS. MSM ignoring what's really happening.

Let's hope it's not just #scottishgreens #snp #alba and #yourparty that support the #ECHR in #scotland #areyouyesyet #scottishrepublic
75 years ago, the ECHR was signed after the horrors of the war.
Today, Nigel Farage and many Westminster politicians want to tear up the laws that protect our basic human rights.
Our rights are not Westminster’s to take away. We will stand firmly against that.

Absolutely insane.
Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.
Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.
The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

🚨 Whatever people think about #YourParty, the fact they have 50,000 members already (according to their latest email) is impressive for a start-up socialist party in the UK. We wish them well and really hope they work with the #GreenParty. We need all the energy we can get on the left in the UK. ✊

Hence massive new energy & uptake for @greenparty.org.uk new @zackpolanski.bsky.social leadership & too but an arguably surprisingly less so #YourParty. Not difficult to explain cf some of my recent posts 🤔
🚨NEW: Rachel Reeves has given a ‘panicked’ speech this morning where she explained why her budget will be SHIT for everyone in the UK EXCEPT the City of London/Banks.

Sure, not a good start, but in fairness what to you "appears", may respectfully not be accurate! There's been WAY more going on OF SIGNIFICANCE than party name. This reads like a headline from MSN. I hope we're ALL in favour of #PR & a #ProgressiveAlliance which should avoid having legitimate claims
Why join Your Party when it appears the only thing they want to talk about is what theit name should be? There is a legitimate party in the #GreenParty that people should get behind!

When I said Nigel Farage and Reform have fascistic features and threaten our democracy and minority communities, the press attacked me.
Michael Heseltine compares them to Mosley’s fascists and there is silence.
The double standard couldn’t be clearer.
The left can’t give this media class an inch.
