Tom Heavey.

I'm honoured to be 'The Potteries Party' council candidate for Audley.
From the community and only for the community.

@NewStatesman Such pispoor journalism from the @NewStatesman. The splitters are likely members of SWP amongst others meaning that they were never members in the first place.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@NorthTrotter @LeftieStats So Ruperts great plan is to stop those who are looking for work, from looking for work and forced into unpaid labour. Genius. For it to be classed as paid work, they'd have to be in receipt of the minimum wage.
Genuinely a policy aimed at the hard of thinking.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@itsMrCross Wonderful tonight at the Palladium Mr Cross, loved the rearrangements.
Thank you.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@piersmorgan Hi dood, regarding Labour having 14 years to prepare. We were prepared, had been since 2017. We had 400+ oven ready policies. It was Starmer who decided to rewrite the last decade of policy and start over because he doesn't like any socialism in a socialist party.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@itsMrCross
See you tonight Christopher.
Been waiting 42 years for this and thanks for coming to the UK.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@emmadentcoad Thanks for the tote bag Emma, I'm using it everyday on my campaign.
Lovely to meet you last month.
Good luck with the journalism and book.

[Connections Network @connections2026]

First up, @l1ttleherbert - Tom Heavey, running in Audley, Newcastle-under-Lyme! Tom is a candidate for the brand new Potteries Party, focused on community engagement, local representation and public advocacy!

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@Sam_Gorst IMHO Mandys appointment was reward for Corbyn.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

Spot on Paul. exactly what I have been saying but less succinctly.
This was a process that YP had to go through.
They wanted to bring the party down but they've emboldened it, empowered it and have inadvertently supported Corbyn on getting the party 'Back on Track'.

Your Party Is Dead, Long Live Your Party: The Second Chance

Why Your Party’s Dual Membership Ban Could Save the Left

Labour Heartlands warned from the beginning that Your Party would be captured if it could not find its own identity. Everything we feared came to pass. And now, in the wreckage of Sunday’s CEC vote and Scotland’s resignations, something unexpected has appeared in the dust: the possibility of the party we always believed this could be.

What the CEC did on Sunday was not a death blow. It was a caesarean. The old Your Party, the version captured by liberal-left identity politics and sophisticated entryism before it had drawn its first independent breath, had to be cut away for the living thing inside to survive. The operation was brutal. It came late. It left scars. But it was necessary, and the CEC had the courage to perform it.

When 800,000 people crashed a website to join a movement that did not yet have a manifesto, a structure, or even an agreed leader.

They did not sign up for debates about gender recognition at Tuesday night branch meetings. They signed up for a party that would talk to them about the energy bill that had doubled in three years. They did not sign up for the careful policing of ideological purity by organisations with their own competing agendas. They signed up for a party that understood that a former steel town is not failed because its people lacked ambition, but because forty years of political choices stripped it of the industry that gave ambition a destination.

They signed up, in short, for something recognisable to anyone who has read Tony Benn, or stood on a picket line, or watched a factory close and wondered why the government that claimed to represent working class seemed always to be standing on the other side of the gates.

@Jackiew80333500 Sad that so many are totally clueless as to what went on.
YP have had no choice over the actions they have taken and have acted with honesty and integrity.
Its common knowledge if anyone has the desire to listen and understand.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

Please explain who has been expelled Candi.
As fa's as I can see nobody has been expelled, just some have had their membership voided due to constitutional incompatibilities.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

Regardless of what you think of any particular party, celebrating the expulsion of hard-working socialists at a time when we urgently and desperately need a strong, united fightback against the far-right is not the good look some think it is.

[Gorst for Garston @Sam_Gorst]

For those who need reminding what the vote around Dual Membership at our founding conference actually stated:

'Option A — Dual Membership with aligned allied parties

Members shall be permitted to hold membership in other national political parties where they have been approved by the CEC as aligning with the Party’s values, to include those with whom the Party cooperates electorally. The approved list shall be subject to ongoing CEC review and annual ratification by National Conference.'

This is not about individuals feelings or what certain people want others to believe. This is about what the actual wording says. This is about democracy not distortion.

Some individuals, whether through malicious intent or sheer ignorance, need to recognise the damage they are doing by spreading a false narrative around the vote. Dual membership was voted on but it clearly stipulates that the CEC must approve and ratify organisations.

The CEC did exactly that yesterday, agreeing by majority, including my submitted amendment to allow for TUSC to be an approved organisation.

Please don’t allow those who are not fully committed to our Party to cause further unnecessary damage and division. I remain optimistic. This was a crucial step to allow branches to form without further delay or the likelihood of infiltration.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@LeftieStats @FranzOberh4179 @thisisyourparty Anyone with dual membership of any other national political party had to lie to get membership of YP. We call them MOONPPs. Hence their membership voided as they've never been eligible for membership.
Also hence the conference votes being unsafe due to non members voting on them

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@LeftieStats @FranzOberh4179 @thisisyourparty Which it always was, its in the constitution.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@LeftieStats @ScotNational This is great news, the YP reset continues.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

There's no expulsions, just people who lied on the YP member application that they didn't have dual membership when they did, are now having their membership refused and voided on a constitutional basis.
They are all welcome to give up their other memberships and join properly.

[Greater Manchester Left Caucus @GMLeftCaucus]

Our statement on the @thisisyourparty expulsions

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

This is incorrect. Your Party has clearly stated that people who joined whilst at the same time being members of other national political parties would have their membership voided, Because constitutionally, they were never members of YP and therefore cannot be expelled.

[Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️ @LeftieStats]

@thisisyourparty This decision is **retroactive**, meaning it won't just apply to new members, but to every member of the Party.

CEC has ruled that dual membership was ALWAYS against the rules, and therefore anyone who joined whilst being a member of another party is subject to expulsion 👀

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@_brute_facts @LeftieStats I think the Greens have already accepted a shitload of SWP members who've found out that they don't have a future in YP, probably without them being aware of it. Yet.
Not sure how @LeftieStats will spin the division in the Green Party in a couple of months.
Popcorns ready.

[Tom Heavey. @l1ttleherbert]

@LeftieStats It's comical just how far out of touch you are with the truth surrounding this issue,
YP is invalidating illegitimate memberships so there won't be a single expulsion.
You used to be relevant, what happened to you?
