Logging back in after over a year not using this site and rereading this piece, having spent the time since joining rs21 and MUC, getting stuck into the horrific mess of Your Party through DSYP, and generally getting massively overinvolved in partyism was certainly something

I got a lot more shit done as a trade union member than I do as a trade union employee! Albeit I did have two children in between lol

As a trade union official I can absolutely speak personally to what Archie describes here in activists meeting bureaucracy and, rather than activising the bureaucrats, becoming imbued with the implicit rules of bureaucracy instead

A really brilliant article by @archimbaldo.bsky.social on what exactly we should be talking about when we discuss the future of the organised left (as such) and the party. Looking forward to more in this series!

Genuinely think it is a severe political detriment to Starmer that his name rhymes to well. Sir Kid Starver, Sir Beer Korma, Sir Queer Harmer, Farmer Harmer Starmer...the list grows every day

Thinking of getting someone off fiverr to follow me round in the role of a sort of scheming vizier. They can say stuff like “of course, you know best,” before pausing for long enough that I bark “out with it then!”, and then they go “perhaps if I may…” Shit like that. Six dollars an hour.
