You should be able to have a party which says "actually these are reasonable ideas... and the only thing holding it back is people not having faith and confidence that enough other people support those ideas" 👏👏👏

Richard Burgon MP @richardburgon.bsky.social · 4d

Instead of vital police resources being used to keep communities safe, we have the absurd situation where they're being wasted on arresting peaceful protesters: people simply holding signs and exercising their democratic rights to oppose genocide.

#ZarahSultana @zarahsultana.bsky.social V helpful I think but #JeremyCorbyn STILL silent. Why? He's our #TonyBenn legacy but to be honest, & posted in a spirit of critical engagement & debate - moving forward I'm not convinced he's got the best team behind him. #YourParty #YourPartyUK Any thoughts?

Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana.bsky.social · Sep 5

Angela Rayner should’ve been sacked.

From backing the two-child benefit cap, cutting winter fuel & disability benefits to defending a government enabling genocide in Gaza — she repeatedly chose the government & its harmful policies over the working class & labour movement she claims to represent.

'Collaboration and cooperation' between Polanski and Your Party seems very likely

Any alliance would "be in the hands of Green party members”, Polanski has said previously - but it seems it could actually happen
