As things stand, I am still keeping my powder dry in terms of which party to back and potentially join, but every time I hear anything about either for quite a while now it seems more like the Greens are where to go
If Your Party is to avoid repeating the mistakes of Corbyn's Labour, it doesn't just need better leaders at the top.
It needs to become an organisation full of leaders at every level.

"Farage & Tommy are fuelled by cheques from billionaires & promotion across their media empires." 🤜
Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Those reasons were there for anyone who wanted to see them. That Starmer either couldn’t, or wouldn't, tells us everything we need to know
