Welcome news that Your Party is reopening membership. But fragility still remains.

That’s why grassroots supporters have proposed an Independent Interim Team to steady the ship + ensure a genuinely democratic founding conference.

Here’s a thread to explain everything 🧵

[Joe Beswick @joebeswick1]

@thisisyourparty What are you doing? How does this further the cause of the left? Both Corbyn and sultana need to put people before ego, and get their shit together. Everything about today has been deeply shameful

[Morning Star @M_Star_Online]

In the 1970s, 95% of spending on housing policy went on building new council homes

Now, the same amount is spent on rents and going into the pockets of private landlords

I published a book two weeks ago with @PlutoPress called ‘A World Without Racism’, an edited collection which seeks to guide antiracists, drawn from decades of housing, land, immigration, policing, climate, cultural, health, international, education and feminist organising.
