"With leading figures like these, it's a wonder the process has got as far as it has."
Bon Voyage, Iqbal Mohamed
And off he goes. Following the departure of Adnan Hussein on 14th November from Your Party, resignation watchers' eyes were on Iqbal Mohame...

I've given up on Politics after watching this
Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?”

TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”

ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

The peace deal offered by the US is shit, a total capitulation, however those arguing against them signing it have not articulated what their alternative would be? Let Ukraine carry on losing town after town? Lose another 10 or 15 thousand men and then accept an even worse deal 12 months from now?

Many people are saying it!
You are right. I agree with you.

This guy with an extremely Northern English name with a picture of Bradford in his profile pic who spends all day talking about British politics.

fuckin' hell. You're norweigan. You are pound for pound the most racist assholes in Europe. Even your leftwing parties want to lynch immigrants. I thought you were like a frenchie or something. You, specifically, have no right to criticize the US

Speaking as a snotty, snobbish European Leftist, I have to say with utter sincerity, whilst liberal American institutions have bent the knee to fascism without even so much as a fight, the regular American people doing brave shit like this have surpassed my expectations and deserve enormous credit

Sorry ive not been posting as much - I have been distracted by putting my name in the hat for the Your Party conference then spending 2+ hours a day hitting the heavy bag like George Foreman so when it comes to a big brawl I can get stuck in.

Hope Not Hate is the "anti-racist" group factionally aligned to the Labour Right, and who spent a significantly chunk of 2015-19 falsely accusing the activist left in Britain of being collectively racist whilst lending their support for Starmer and the current government
By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

Just a reminder Denmark has been stealing jewelery from refugees for years now.

(And they also did white supremacy on top of it.)

Denmark: Exempting Ukrainians from jewelry law while applying it to others is outright discrimination
The “jewelry law” gives Danish authorities the power to search for and confiscate cash, jewelry, and other valuables from arriving migrants

The Labour Gov could bring Thames Water back into public ownership. Instead Castle Water is bidding for it: Castle Water is backed by the Pears Family, a billionaire property group, and owned by Tory treasurer and mega-donor Graham Edwards.

Thames Water bidder says it is offering £1bn extra cash injection
Castle Water says restructuring plans do not go far enough and extra funds will help resolve pollution crisis

Landlords have long lobbied for the removal of "a right to family life" as it is this legal protection that prevents landlords doing unannounced no-notice inspections of flats they let.
If the want to remove rights to family life for asylum seekers, then they will want to take that right away from me and you.

I have more respect for the people who support NATO on principle than those who support it (lukewarmly) so they don't get called Tankies by James O'Brien.
it’s funny that the GPEW being (lukewarmly) pro-NATO is a deal-breaker for people who campaigned for pro-NATO Labour in 2017 and 2019

This is good news, Adnan had no place in any meaningful socialist party, and with his exit there's half a chance we can build a decent socialist party out of this mess without their involvement.
Blimey. Major new split in Your Party. Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain -who is secretary of the Your Party company - says he's quitting due to "persistent infighting, factional competition, and a struggle for power, position and influence rather than a shared commitment to the common good."
November 14, 2025 at 3:15 PM
This. They absolutely fucked themselves cos Corbyn and his mates prioritised keeping Adnan and the gang on board over Zarah Sultana, who is an *actual socialist* and not just a landlord
if they’d left him out and also just ran with Zarah’s membership portal they’d be heading into their organising conference with ~£2mn and a largely unified base of possibly even more than the 50,000 members they did end up with

Most English Kings were illiterate until the Tudors for exactly the same reasons
These men grew up with The Secretary™ whose job was:

• Be sexually desirable
• Be sexually available
• Look after them like children
• DO THE TYPING.

Not being able to email is a status symbol:
Can none of these millionaires sex criminals write in full sentences? Have you heard of paragraphs? Punctuation? No wonder ChatGPT sounds like a genius to these clowns.

E-bikes are one of the greatest inventions in the last 30 years and we should be encouraging their uptake and use.
“So we asked ourselves: how could we make the common bicycle heavier, more dangerous and, ultimately, reliant on electricity”

Remember when the BBC selectively edited footage from the Battle of Orgreave during the Miner's Strike to make it look like the Miners attacked the police, when in fact it was the other way round?
November 10, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Good. The BBC is a rancid organisation, never been a friend of the left, and the License Fee is the Poll Tax for the telly. I will not miss them, vengeance for Corbyn.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

You don't get to complain about Democrats caving in on the shutdown if you spent the last few years advertising your intention to "vote blue no matter who".
