Comradio's on the mythology again. We are joined by @anarchonbury to talk about reclaiming mythology, for the left and for our daily lives.
Plus, an update on newer small socialist electoral parties: Northern Independence, Breakthrough et al.

Today it's been revealed that the energy price cap is set to rise to £4,266 in January.
We’re not going to accept corporations making record profits from the misery of millions.
It’s time to build a campaign to fight back: https://t.co/1SeHcIXdMr
100,000 people have joined the campaign in our first 24 hours.
We're going to be holding rallies, we're going to be organising community groups, we're going to be on picket lines.
If you've had enough, join us at https://t.co/1SeHcIXdMr
"But *apart* from nationalisation, support for striking workers, poor relations with the unions, Covid policy, BLM, justice, corporation tax levels, lying to party members, foreign policy, suspending the whip from Corbyn, (etc, etc)
What did Keir Starmer ever do to the left?"
@OwenJones84 I don't believe the level of hyperbole you are indulging in is worthy of engaging with. You've got a minor policy disagreement with Keir about whether to prioritise renationalisation of certain utilities. That's all.
📊FUN FACT: @ElectoralCommUK data indicates that, excluding state funding, £2m was donated to Labour in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Of this, £1.6m (77%) came from trade unions.
Proud to have been on the picket line today, standing in solidarity alongside workers and members of @RMTunion and @TSSAunion.
The Government needs to pay transport staff what they deserve, not force a real terms pay cut on them during a #CostOfLivingCrisis.
@lukeakehurst you don't have a rebuttal to anything I've said because you know it's all true. You know that Keir Starmer lied and conned his way to power, you just happen to support it because as far as you're concerned, any means justifies the end - crushing the left
No disrespect to Sam Tarry but I really don't think his career as a junior shadow minister is worth even the slightest ripple in the 120 year link between Labour and the unions. Why all this attention to such a minor figure?
Two months ago, the gap between Starmer and Truss was 25%, it's now down to 5%. Sure Truss is a poor public performer, but so is Starmer. The arrogant concept in Labour ranks that he would easily beat her in a GE is nonsense.
@KatyJayne101@I___like___eggs After a revolution, it's important to keep the same political structure and have a posh liberal who went to Oxford as PM, for continuity.
Life expectancy in the UK and Ireland used to track each other for decades, until the Tories got into power in 2010 and began implementing their utterly disastrous austerity experiment, then disastrously mismanaged the pandemic.
Voting Tory literally takes years off your life.
