@meganekenyon@NewStatesman No faction was involved, no split happened, and no new party was formed. Other than this, the headline is totally accurate. We can always rely on Megan Kenyon to get it wrong. Try speaking to the organisers or at least read their press releases. 🤦🏼♀️

The real talking points of the week are NOT being discussed properly anywhere else.
Bernie. Finkelstein. Palantir. Iran. Palestine Action. SNP corruption. The future of PSC.
The Crispin Flintoff Show is live on Zoom this morning, 10:30am-12:30pm.
Don’t miss it. Register.👇
@thisisyourparty has announced the first of the branches formation. It looks like the officers will be elected before members can meet them. This is not a member led party.
🔥 HISTORY IN BIRMINGHAM.
Shehryar Kayani has UNSEATED the Labour leader of the council, John Cotton, in Glebe Farm and Tile Cross.
Not once. Not twice. Not three times they counted. Four times he won.
They took days to announce it — but they couldn't hide it.
✅ Over 26,000 votes for the Workers Party across this round
✅ 2,000+ in Glebe Farm and Tilecross alone
✅ One of the hottest council elections in British history
This isn't just a win. This is the first of many.
As they said themselves: "They used to laugh at us. They used to laugh at the independent movement. But we brought Labour to its knees."
John Cotton made the council rotten. Now the people have spoken.
Congratulations to Shehryar Kayani, and every single voter who put faith in real change.
This is only the warm-up.
🔁 Share if you want to see more establishment seats fall.
Your Party is finished. The question is what do we do next?
This is the first in a series of inspiring conversations recorded at our last Member's Charter meeting, with member Ewan Tilley (part 1/2)
🔥 Join us to be part of the movement that will carry us forwards🔥
On the 17th April Socialists across the UK met to chart new path after your party.
There was no single answer. But what unified the room was a rejection of top-down imposition; whatever comes next MUST be genuinely member-led, transparent, accesible, and built from the ground up
It's not just Zara Sultana's story; it's the story of every brown-skinned person in the UK. They've faced racism at some point in their lives. In fact, Zara Sultana said in tears in this interview that she respects everyone, but why does this happen to us?
This evening we held a large and successful public meeting to build towards a members conference. A pre-conference call next Thursday will take us another step further!
A shockingly corrupted trial that exposes the British state’s weaponization of censorship and secrecy laws has just begun.
The Grayzone's @MaxBlumenthal details how six activists from the direct action protest group Palestine Action face terrorism charges and the possibility of long prison terms – but the jury in the case is forbidden from knowing this.
The UK media is similarly banned from reporting on these facts, while the defendants in the case are blocked by court order from explaining their motives for damaging and occupying Israeli weapons factories on British soil.
Blumenthal explains why Palestine Action is being targeted with such a draconian prosecution: because they are effective.
Having caused the closure of Israeli factories, they have provided activists around the world with a workable model for raising the cost of occupation and genocide.
Now, he argues, the British state is so determined to prevent their acquittal before a potentially sympathetic jury that it rigging the trial and perverting whatever's left of democracy, all to preserve its special relationship with Israel.
@daniel_moi97111@Dean_y_ Why does the DSYP‘s unofficial 12 point program have to be adopted by the charter group? The charter conference hasn’t even happened. My understanding the point of it is is to let the attending members decide?
This has gone to far, this is criminal and if myself or my partner is put at risk due to your pathetic issues with the Canary I will be contacting my lawyer.
And yet you still haven't responded to my request to have a face to face recorded interview about the shit you spread. https://t.co/CsXs2lGVt0
Seems that some your party shrills are a little upset with the Canary UK.
Nicola James leaked the numbers of a canary journalist and the CEO online and left it up for four days before making an apology. This entitled behaviour is wholly unacceptable and must be called out.
No one has a right to demand loyalty from the press. That is everything we fight against. How dare you try to punish us for working for the people and not a political party!!
Good or bad we report on it!!
It’s a simple concept to understand!!! #journalist #leftist #sick #leaked #scandal
@BanburyUK@meganekenyon@NewStatesman Cassie when did you become an outright liar? UK YP spent £60k on the scottish conference, it was overseen by them. Every Scottish member had access just like the liverpool one & could vote. That only 9% voted tells you they had access!!! Where you always like this?
Zarah Sultana MP invokes parliamentary privilege to inform the British public about reporting by The Grayzone on the corrupt trial of six Palestine Action activists
Sultana stated that if convicted, the defendants "will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that”
“They could convict them on criminal damage charges with no idea that terrorism sentences will follow," she continued. "Not a single terrorism charge has been brought forward. The proscription has been ruled unlawful and the defendants themselves have been banned from telling the jury that they acted to stop genocide under threat of contempt charges”
