Ah, the left, can't even wait until there's a name and a membership list before you split eh?
YourNameHere Party isn't even a party yet and there's fights. Sultana launches a full on membership join-up site and then Corbyn claims it ain't the right one.
🤣 🙄
And there isn't even any policy to argue about yet. Factions forming just over who is in control of organizing conference and taking membership fees.
Well done everyone ❤️
Join the greens 🟢

My new piece.
'As UK politics turns both right and left, how do we get degrowth onto the agenda?'
The problem is that neither of the two main British left alternatives (#GreenParty and nascent #YourParty) appears to be sufficiently facing up to the fundamental issue of

Content warning: "Your Party" data fiasco
Apologies no alt text at the link destination.
It's a message from Andrew Feinstein on Twitter (although I've used a "nitter" link) from the end of October, saying that he and 2 other people at MOU have resigned as directors, and explaining some shenanigans over the "Your Party" membership data.
I don't fully understand all the ins and outs of the original connection between MOU and "Your Party", but evidently MOU was something else originally and then got lumbered with looking after YP money and membership data.
Main takeaway, it does seem that the "Your Party" contingent are remarkably bad at admin!
I don't feel personally worried about it, in fact it might be a good thing if "Your Party" properly falls over and everyone joins the Greens.

"To join, you must be 16 or over, resident in the UK, and you cannot be a member of another national political party."
So goodbye to any ideas of the party as a federation of radicals - same mistake that Momentum made. They could have opened it to Greens, members of PC, SDLP, Communist Party, Majority, TUSC, etc. At least at this formative stage. I wonder how many…

Content warning: good piece from Corbyn on inclusion vs fascism etc
See, this is the kind of thing which made me take note of Jeremy Corbyn in the first place. He may not be the greatest on the management side of leadership, but unlike a lot of blow-with-the-wind politicians, he actually comes right out and says things that are true and helpful!
