Great to have @zarahsultana.bsky.social at the Majority annual conference yesterday.

Labour have failed to provide the answers to the huge challenges we face.

We’ll be working with ‘Your Party’ to provide an alternative that will deliver for our communities.

Labour Party Closing Down Sale. Last week we witnessed the Labour Party Conference. Or, as some people are calling it, The Labour Party closing down sale. 1/9

Think you’ve got what it takes to stand as a councillor? Come on down.

As Grace Blakeley recently said: “No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves.”
Here in the North East, Majority is gathering energy.
It’s time to get involved.
Whatever you can do, no matter how small, please get in touch.

Most notably, The Guardian’s Owen Jones and Novara’s Rivkah Brown, along with anyone representing the brilliant Declassified UK, were among those shown the door.
They don’t want to be challenged. They don’t want to be accountable. They don’t, and won’t, listen to us.
7/9

Majority @majorityuk.bsky.social · 3d

Incredibly, journalists who dared to ask questions about this decline in standards were promptly marched off the premises and had their press passes revoked. Not before a few challenging questions were asked, however.

Majority @majorityuk.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, the discount aisle of politics was on full display and the Manager’s Special was ludicrously out of date and out of touch.
Meanwhile, the Accountability Department was but a shadow of its former self, flickering timidly under the fluorescent lights of spin.

This dilapidated, end-of-the-line conference was nothing more than a glorified car boot sale stocking bargain-bin morality and cut-price integrity.
It was a sell-out in every sense of the word, with huge savings on values, empathy and courage.
4/9

Majority @majorityuk.bsky.social · 3d

Socialism was reduced to clear (as if we expected anything else), with tailored offers on empty promises, where every slogan comes with another free of charge.
3/9

Majority @majorityuk.bsky.social · 3d

It was a lifeless, soulless affair, where everything from principles to the last shreds of conviction seemed to be up for sale, providing you’re languishing in untold wealth of course.

British people want leaders they can be proud of. Patriotism would be taking water back into public ownership. It would cost nothing. Simply enforce the fines. Share prices would drop to zero. And the government would look like it has a backbone.

For competent leaders with integrity, it's no use looking at the major political parties in the UK

Major political parties haven't got a hope or a clue, writes Majority's Jamie Driscoll as he skewers establishment politics

When 150 far-right tried to march through Newcastle yesterday, 3000 Geordies stopped them. I’m proud of our city and its people.
My article is a first-hand account of the day.

Geordies weren't letting far-right fascists spout hate in their city this weekend

A far-right rogues gallery of racists came to Newcastle on Saturday 27 September - and yes, racists is the correct term. Or fascists...

Today Newcastle stood united. ✊🏼

The far-right were in town trying to spread their hate and division. Only about 200 turned up.

Over 3000 canny geordies, including dozens of Majority members stopped them marching and sent them packing!
