There's lots of great sessions at this year's festival. But this one is personally going to be a stand out part of the weekend. Never forget, never forgive. Google Comrade Delta.
Preparing for my chat with David Renton at @Briztransformed this weekend re his book on the SWPs Comrade Delta affair.
If we only get one point across I hope it's that the way the party behaved was of course vindictive + patriarchal but also an outright betrayal of the class
Ahead of @Livesrunning's book Comrade Delta, on the 2013 scandal in the Socialist Workers Party, DK Renton assesses the recent changes at the top of the party, asking 'Is it time to forgive the SWP?'
