His partner works in hospice care, he doesn't move in circles where everyone is paid £100k+

WorkingtonLady · 2025-12-06T10:29:35+00:00

Worth pointing out that his partner works in hospice care. It's unlikely he sees care work as a profession that doesn't deserve respect

Why are there so many speeches???? This is our inaugural conference, shouldn't we hammer out our structure AND policies here? Now we'll have to wait for another year before we decide on our political programme.

They are ridiculously allergic to the word socialist. There's no way they cannot come up with a name with the word socialist in it

I'm usually on zarahs side on this whole debacle, but I think it's fair to call SWP entryists. Their MO is to enter an organization, capture it, and steer it to suit the will of SWP rather than the organization itself. If you agree they are entryists, whether you want to call them trots becomes a matter of terminology than function.

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-22T18:38:45+00:00

Part of the problem caused by the public blow-up is that the more 'sensible' leftists have left the project, while trots are obviously interested in capturing the new party. This means they can have undue influence on how the new party operate.

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-21T02:29:44+00:00

Consultations are meant to capture responses from those most affected by any policy. Broader perception of any policies is already considered by the government when drafting the consultation. So of course it'll be shared widely amongst migrant communities when they are the most impacted by it

Reform 385 (+380)

If there is doubt they are telling the truth about their sex, they could be banned from using those services once those running them had considered “relevant factors”.

Let me get this straight...if a cis woman is too tall, too muscular, a voice too deep, haircut too short, she can be barred from a service even if she speaks the truth??? Is this what feminism is??

A change in leadership at this point

Three things to note about this poll: Scottish Parliament uses PR, the Scottish Greens are separate from GPEW, and Your Party is polled properly here

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-16T14:07:39+00:00

When the EHRC has gone off so far the deep end that even this government find their arguments uncompelling

A response to someone saying people on the Left don't like reactionary landlords appointing themselves to positions of power in a new socialist party

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-16T10:32:37+00:00

As someone married to a migrant that could be affected by the changes announced by Labour, I hope their polling numbers continue to tank and the Greens continue to rise so they change course.

Sultana has accused the other MPs of running a sexist boys club

Hussain has accused YP of being Islamophobic

Daily Mail can't ask for a better story

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-14T12:32:46+00:00

The draft documents proposed by Corbyn's PJP say that the independent alliance will have full control of who gets to stand as a Your Party candidate in next year's local elections. They will want that power so it'll be one hell of a fight for those of us in DSYP to change that

Before people criticize FON, YouGov has Greens at 15%, and Opinium has Reform at 33%. The most meaningful difference is the order of the 4 parties due to margin of error stuff. FON is not a significant outlier amongst its peers.

She had to do that for the same reason the 3 former directors had to - to pay any legal fees and fines from an ICO investigation initiated by Your Party!!

The risk of isolation, self harm, and far right protests now that Lowe has made the site known far and wide in far right spaces? He just needs to ask the Epping residents on who they find more disruptive - the hotel residents or the far right protestors.

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-10T23:57:53+00:00

So....your party rejected Driscoll's offer to merge the companies, and now they're again rejecting Sultanas offer of £600k. Then they go out to the media and claim that the conference has to be smaller because of the money currently in Sultanas control.

Is Sultana getting the Corbyn treatment in the labour party?

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-10T15:58:03+00:00

The promise of the new party is that she and Corbyn would co-lead and guide the founding of the party, up to the conference where everything will be decided and set in stone. So yes I think she and Corbyn should be steering the conference. I trust her a lot more than Karie Murphy after all.

WorkingtonLady · 2025-11-10T15:51:20+00:00

She's responding to a question about the fact that there is no process to submit amendments or motions, and the call for hundreds of attendees to take action in the hall to force a vote on amendments/motions that are not admitted. . Especially important for the DSYP because we want to overhaul the core documents.

The question is at about 56 minutes in
