36% of Unite members in GB polling for Reform. This isn't a failure of individual workers, it's in part a failure of political education in the movement. We stopped teaching class politics and this is the consequence.
Class shapes every part of our lives.
So how do we come together as a class today? How do we build power again?

The most cowardly nation on earth, sensing its dominance waning, is lashing out in whichever way it can.
Maduro’s crime: using oil wealth to fund free healthcare, education, and social housing.
The US spends billions on its military while yanks live in tents and medical debt.

People have asked if I am involved in your party, I am not. I have explained to some comrades involved in the project (and yes I see them as comrades even though we are in different political projects and disagree) what I think the job is for us now and it doesn’t align with the trajectory of Your Party.
@pmpoc and I with some incredible people set up @This_is_Rise over a year and a half ago and we are steadily building a brilliant political organisation which is focused on building independent working class power.
