In 2021 I wrote two short articles summarising a #socialist view of the world - why #workers should oppose #capitalism and fight to replace it with a new society, #socialism. Have a read.

@TonyBurke2010 No reply on this?

I see neither CTUF nor IER have said anything about the GP Workers' Charter. This is perverse. I am all for engaging with the Labour Party but why ignore a major announcement from a major political party strongly in line with your policies?

[Sacha Ismail @sacha_isma]

@TonyBurke2010 You've missed the "and". Solidarity action and the right to action on issues wider than a trade dispute are two separate points.

This policy from the GP is quite a a major development, no? Will CTUF / IER be engaging with it?

هذا اللي صار امبارح بمجلس بلدية حيفا. أعضاء من ائتلاف يانا ياهف تهجّموا بتصريحات عنصرية وخطيرة بعد جملتين بالعربي. هاي صورة مش بس لتطبيع سياسة فاشية من الحكومة، بس كمان لسياسة بلدية بتستهدف المنصات العربية، الفنانين العرب، بتجفف ميزانيات التعليم العربي، وبتهمش الأحياء العربية.

@TonyBurke2010 Thoughts?

One of a number of speeches from the launch event discussing these issues here: https://t.co/lEPIqLRYeh

[Sacha Ismail @sacha_isma]

@TonyBurke2010 So it means just what it says - solidarity action. The right to action for social and political demands is a separate point - hence the "and"!

The speeches at the launch rally also made this very clear.

Good luck to left-wing and particularly socialist / labour movt-oriented candidates across the country today. Let's push back Reform UK and start to shift society.

I'm standing for the Green Party in Wandsworth Town, where I live. What I stand for here:

@JackyFrozt @RangoTheGrump @Marcisissy @Timmy200012 @as_handle @DavidCWOwens @ZackPolanski And the policy launched yesterday is for a £15ph minimum wage *in a year's time*.

[Sacha Ismail @sacha_isma]

@RangoTheGrump @Marcisissy @Timmy200012 @as_handle @DavidCWOwens @ZackPolanski The policy launched yesterday is for a £15ph minimum wage *in a year's time* (the minimum wage goes up in April every year).

[Sacha Ismail @sacha_isma]

@Marcisissy @Timmy200012 @as_handle @DavidCWOwens @ZackPolanski That salary IS over £15ph, in addition to which the policy launched on Friday is a for a £15 minimum wage in almost a year's time. I think fair to assume in a year's time the salary of that role will be higher still. So nice try.

@TonyBurke2010 "Scrap all anti-union and anti-strike laws introduced since 1979. Bring in strong legal rights to strike, picket and protest, including solidarity action and action for political and social causes."

[Sacha Ismail @sacha_isma]

@TonyBurke2010 I'm not totally sure what you're getting at here, but I think you should read the actual Workers' Charter the GP launched on Friday, not just the FT report which predictably garbled it.

The recent National Education Union conference voted for support for the Baloch people, the 1st time I know of a national UK union conference doing so. We should build on this to generate real UK labour movt solidarity for the Baloch human rights struggle.

@schneiderhome Just came across this. Do you have comparable figures for 2016-2019?

Btw the above is obviously visitors - not delegates
