Really pleased to see this intervention from @zarahsultana to sharpen the draft documents ahead of @thisisyourparty conference. This needs to be a party that the working class can exercise democratic control over.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

I’ve always fought — and always will — for maximum member democracy.

If you believe Your Party should be explicitly socialist, radically democratic, rooted in mass movement and led by our members, not MPs — join me and back these democratic demands:

@BellaWallerstei We do apologise for any inconvenience.
Sadly, withholding one’s labour is the only voice workers have.
Every right we currently enjoy comes on the back of generations of trade unionists taking strike action.

[UCU Scotland @UCUScotland]

Solid pickets and great turnout @GCU_UCU strike to defend 100 jobs and say no to compulsory redundancies. Hearing from branch president Karen Lorimer that university has no deficit and cuts are a choice not a necessity #StopTheCuts #SaveHE #SaveTheGCU100

@maxshanly Who are the leaders of the left (Social Democratic or revolutionary) who have survived and thrived?

You may well have a point but I'm just trying to picture what it looks like.

[Sam Morecroft @SamMorecroft]

@maxshanly @ShinMarginalScr The DSA is pretty chaotic - maybe that's a positive in some people's eyes, I'm not sure!

I think I've seen some
interesting and reasonably high level discussions in DSA circles, and some really, really dumb stuff.

Is this not just Perry Anderson v E.P. Thompson again?

[princess diana is in all of us 🚩👑🏳️‍🌈 @joinaunionpls]

The claim that the Left doesn't care about violence by the police when done against white people is false.

I'm sorry, I don't remember Farage et al ever talking about Iain Tomlinson or Blair Peach.

Total nonsense.

UK benefits are so high...

That they are the lowest in the Developed World.

“Support kitman Mark Bonnick!! Deel out!!”

Arsenal supporters displayed a banner in support of Mark Bonnick, the club’s kitman of 22 years who was sacked by the club for opposing the genocide in Gaza during the title celebrations.

@Clarendon9 For further context, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with resident doctors on the picket line in their battle for pay restoration.
Do you?

I have retired from football. I have decided to travel the world to see if Ribena tastes the same everywhere. I asked Danny Welbeck if he wanted to retire and join me. He said No.

People die & are injured at work due to employer deciding their safety just wasn't a priority #InternationalWorkersMemorialDay commemorates those workers. Honoured to lay wreath & speak @ShefTUC #IWMD26 #Sheffield with trade unions & campaigners #RememberTheDeadFightForTheLiving

[Sheffield TUC @ShefTUC]

A really powerful and moving International Workers Memorial Day service yesterday.

Thank you to all who came, especially our inspirational speakers.

We mourn the dead. We fight for the living.
