A leadership that disempowers its own movement ultimately weakens itself. Members are not coming to beg for the restoration of our democratic rights; we are bringing the ideas, energy and organising power needed to get Britain back on track. My latest: tribunemag.co.uk/2026/07/for-...

For a Democratic Party

With Labour soon to hold elections for the National Executive Committee, it’s time to bury the antidemocratic legacies of the Starmer era and return power to the members.

After years of attacks on member democracy, it’s time to give members back their voice in the Labour Party. From defending one member one vote, to full and fair selections, to ending the misuse of suspensions. Use the tool to tell Andy Burnham - we need to see change.

This is excellent and a relief for so many struggling with the cost of transport. We also need to deliver on expansion of bus networks to reconnect communities after so many routes have been lost under Tory rule. Let’s turn back the cuts which have isolated so many areas and cut off opportunities.

Ahh I’ve just seen your other posts about me, hello Bill. I’ve said to you before, please stop posting false information about me. You already had to apologise in writing for making false allegations about me in 2020, please stop now. This is becoming obsessive and very concerning.

Congratulations to @andyburnham on his election as leader of the Labour Party. Today he talked about an end to the factionalism which has plagued Labour in recent years and the steps he will take for party unity. Let’s start by reinstating Diane Abbott. actionnetwork.org/petitions/re...

Have to disagree, in my experience Angela is much more willing to capitulate to the right of the party and gets a pretty good reception with them, Corbyn obviously wasn’t, which is why they worked so relentlessly to remove him.

In the aftermath of the UK Supreme Court ruling on trans people and biological sex, a really concerning thing among cisgender legal advocacy groups has been adopting wholly the legal concept that trans women ARE biological men and trans men ARE biological women, as given in the ruling.

So many liberals on this site convinced that Trump is now a Putin plant. I can’t believe it has to be said but the world isn’t split into two neat camps of people whose political ideology revolves around NATO vs undercover spys for Putin.

The UK welcomes Ukrainians but shuts out Palestinians — even as UK-made weapons fuel their genocide. Safe routes for some; moral panic and cruelty for others. There’s a name for that: anti-Palestinian racism.

As someone who supported him, if he had ever announced a ban on refugees like this, we would’ve been up in arms. It’s not about independence of mind of the left, it’s about the fact neoliberals like Starmer always give way to the far right. Surely you must be catching on by now.

Both the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition suggesting that Ukrainians are deserving of sanctuary, but Palestinians are not. That parliament has created legal processes for Ukrainians, not for Palestinians. What do we call that?

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

And that’s on blairite human rights lawyers, everyone. If Labour don’t challenge the ideology of the far right, the far right will claim the ground at the ballot box. Its not rocket science.

We all saw this coming. Now it’s time for the UK Labour government to decide, will it follow America into carrying out one of the most horrific crimes of ethnic cleansing in our lifetime, or will it defend Palestinians and with that, international law.

If we are to defeat reform next time, folks need to stop thinking this is a gotcha moment. In my last report I shared how Labour broke down our election vote share. We won because Tory voters stayed at home - next time we won’t have this luxury. Time to accept members are our strength.

2017 it peaked, and yes it did, had unprecedented numbers of active members and very stable income = higher number of votes than in 2024. Have a read of the report! We don’t have big donors like the Tories and we won’t without compromising on policy - Labour needs and depends on membership fees.

Membership numbers absolutely matter for Labour. Tories - funded by a handful of extremely wealthy donors and they essentially own the press. Labour - depend on the funds from its members and their time to deliver leaflets, doorknock etc.

Donald Trump just pardoned a violent insurrectionist who *also* happens to be a convicted child sex offender. (Imagine if the QAnon freaks who pretend to give a damn about child sex offenses actually gave a damn about them!)

This is not a defence of Biden of course, who is complicit in the killing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. But let’s not be naive about Trump’s intentions and the struggle ahead for Palestinians and their allies.

Important moment for folks raving about Trump after the ceasefire. His role in bringing about a ceasefire in Gaza isn’t out of compassion for Palestinians. We are already seeing Israel ramping up attacks on the West Bank and the forced displacement of Palestinian families, with Trumps backing.

Always cautious of this type of polling. Pitting immediate needs of people against future climate security, and assuming of course, the only answer to our financial woes is yet more austerity.
