After withdrawing support for Pride at Durham and Havering councils - the trade union movement stepped up to defend and support the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. The workers movement at its best is a universalist movement fighting for human liberation for all against oppression and exploitation.

Subtraction politics works because it replaces structural causation with moral causation. The problem is not what was done to the country over forty years. The problem is who arrived, who ruled, who stayed. An explanation that requires no history and promises no change. It only requires a target.

Your Party has been launched and of course no one is exactly happy with it but that reflects the state of the left. However the fact that it exists at all is a positive thing - now the has a party we can engage in proper strategic thinking about power and how to change society.
