For those interested in arguments about how this new left wing party should be structured, here is a good article written by @MPDNUT on his website regarding discussions on Federal structures and the history of the Labour Party: https://t.co/m0b0o6P3OK

This is why we need a new anti-austerity and anti-war party to fight the Establishment, one with trade unionists and trade unions at its heart!

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Dear Wes Streeting…

What really undermines our movement is a Labour government that turns its back on workers and lashes out at unions instead of listening to them.

This is a defining moment. Stop attacking those who keep our public services running.

[Socialist Party @Socialist_party]

The buzz from Corbyn and Sultana's announcement today shows the need for a new party
They both spoke at a meeting attended by over 1,00 trade unionists on Monday. The Socialist's editorial looks at the next steps needed for a party rooted in the working class

@hanleyPa Also - do you think this was perhaps the first time that Peel had seen Fall 'live'? I seem to remember that his producer John Walters went to more fact finding gigs?

[simon @simonsone]

@hanleyPa I do remember watching it 40 year ago and, like Peel, was perplexed at why it had taken so long for the group to get on national TV! It's not as if there weren't opportunities in the late 70s and early 80s- much more adventurous program making back then. Seems weird!

[Neon Waltz @neonwaltz]

What a joy this was. One of our heroes @EdwynCollins joining us on stage to sing his masterpiece ‘A Girl Like You’.

He may be joining us on tour in Oct. You’ll have to buy a ticket to find out. (He’s not btw)

Congratulations to the highly electable Sir Keir coming a strong second in the seat of the most lying, corrupt, racist privileged wanker to set foot in parliament.

If you can get to this it would obviously mean a lot. A great cause and a great night in prospect. Really grateful to everyone giving their services for free

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

Today, we announce a 3rd round of industrial action from 14 – 17 June.

The Government’s 5% pay increase offer is an insult to junior doctors in England.

@cardinalcanary Love this!

#12inch80s @Bunnymen "Play at Home EP" This recording was made at Liverpool Cathedral for the programme "Play At Home" produced by R.P.M for @Channel4 . Some fantastic versions and a Beatles cover! The TV series was great, but can't find anything on @YouTube? #vinylrecords
