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 ❤️

#YourParty
"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: interview with Jeremy Corbyn

Mostly what I'd expect him to say.
This line stuck out to me:
"Looking at the Labour Party now, it’s as if MPs are afraid of the people they are meant to represent"
That rings true to me. Reminds me of the recent arrests for challenging the proscription of Palestine Action. Ordinary people explicitly disagreeing with the government, oh no! Can't be allowed!
And I think part of what a lot of people like about Corbyn is he _doesn't_ give that vibe. He behaves as though ordinary people are reasonable, resourceful, able to collaborate on solutions.

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: 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!
