Maybe one day the UK left will pick a good name
Meanwhile the Your Party UK left are asking themselfs if they should purge the trotskists
Not to side with the trots, but lets be honest What have the UK left achieved in the last 60 years? That country its still an imperialist neolib hellhole since thatcher
Corbynism has yet to win One election
Also this
🚨 NEW: Zarah Sultana is boycotting the first day of Your Party conference today after some grassroots members were expelled
Spokesperson: “This witch hunt is indefensible. We must build a party that welcomes all socialists. She will not be entering the conference hall today”
what a mess of a party lmao
My parents were watching the stream of the conference yesterday and the feed cut out multiple times because people kept coming up saying they were going to make a statement relevant to whatever vote was going on, only to immediately pivot to accusing some faction or other within the parry of being wreckers.
Absolute circus of a party.
stalin should have killed trotsky sooner
It also seems the ‘right’ of the party is successfully pushing for as big of a tent as possible, wanting to work with anyone under the umbrella of a “social alliance”, even if the people involved are anything but social. What could go wrong.
Considering all the infighting and controversy that’s already happened, and the dubious people they were putting in important positions (including a transphobic landlord), I expect more nonsense down the line.
You’d think Corbyn would’ve learned from his time in Labour, that letting the right wing of the party call all the shots only results in the party being torn apart and turned into Tory-lite.
The UK left is embarrassing, and I say that as an American.
At least the US has PSL
The party is crumbling into infighting even before they’ve chosen a name lmao
I supported Your Party for a whole, what, two days and then it was back to the Greens (even if they’re not as left wing as Corbyn I’ll genuinely do anything to prevent a Reform government).
Corbyn is just terrible at running a political party imo.
i do wonder how the greens will seize this opportunity to grow / evolve. right now they seem very obama-coded promising hope and change. not sure if that is sustainable long term.
for corbyn, i completely agree. he is a great speaker but i dont think he is good at making decisions
For the love of god if ‘Your Party’ is chosen, I’m going to crash out what name is that?!
The name question seems to be the least of their problems.
it not an insignificant one
I saw on a lefty fb group a macro saying ‘I stand with Your Party’ and had to explain to people why it sounded stupid
Popular alliance is only not entirely shit name up there
“An Actual Labor Party” was right there
Labor Party
I am joining you in the crashing out
I still can’t believe those brits had the least creative idea and booked with it, they JUST separated from the “change” guy who surprise surprise did nothing and has the most MODEST of socdem reform and that crashed and burned.
All the uk trot groups are a hotbed of spycops, the only thing they do is try to wreck every single thing. Keeping them out will be a positive. Won’t keep the wreckers out entirely but it’ll reduce their numbers to a level that’s less likely to get anything done.

tbf, that is also just what trots do
That’s what makes it so perfect for the removed
Edit: Didn’t expect that removed, is that word (ghost but beginning with s) problematic in this context? There’s kinda a whole famous tv show with that word as its name.
It’s also a slur for black people in the US
it is but also I don’t think Ive literally heard it used as a slur in my entire life, i’m pretty sure the generation that u.s it as a slur is either dead or actively dying

I don’t think the etymology really supports much of a link between the use as a racial slur and the use to refer to undercover agents.
Ok good so I’m not being inadvertently racist then, phew.
I think Joe Biden said it once.
yeah exactly
The only reason i know this is because of back to the future
Kudos to the people there voting for “Our Party” for having recognized this has been a clown show for a while, you might aswell try to get a “Who’s on first?”-Bit out of it.

I think “Our Party (formerly known as Your Party)” would lead to optimal who’s on first results here

Your Party’s Shockat Adam says he would defy any party whip if there was a call to ban landlords, though says he’d always favour renters.
One of multiple landlords in the party said he’d vote against a bill banning landlords.
Everyone should have given up on this the second corbyn decided to be bff’s with bigoted landlords
IDK why British leftists need to grovel at the feet of an old man who has consistently showed he can’t lead
Corbynism has yet to win One election
Lets not forget that Corbyn himself won two elections back to back within labor, and his failure was a failure to meaningfully seize power within the party at the behest of the movement that put him in charge.
I hope for Your Party’s sake Corbyn and co have learned from this experience.
Plaid it is, I ain’t voting GreenATOs but I understand if your in england and don’t have a better option
Another week, another new Your Party infighting nonsense. I don’t even know what to say anymore. Just embarrassing.
Corbynism has yet to win One election
to be fair, Corbyn did win on a local level.
