Really pleased to see this intervention from @zarahsultana to sharpen the draft documents ahead of @thisisyourparty conference. This needs to be a party that the working class can exercise democratic control over.
Zarah Sultana MP@zarahsultana

I’ve always fought — and always will — for maximum member democracy. If you believe Your Party should be explicitly socialist, radically democratic, rooted in mass movement and led by our members, not MPs — join me and back these democratic demands: (1/3)

Hundreds of employers handed penalties for illegally underpaying workers share.google/DxDOmXPEQaIP07… Great that businesses being forced to pay minimum wage, doesn't always happen, awful statement from Peter Kyle who seems more concerned with other businesses than low wage workers.

We held a very angry branch meeting today where members discussed that not only have our employers failed to respond to our pay claim, but are now also planning further restructures and redundancies. Strike action continues tomorrow - pickets are at 8am-11am! 💪 #Solidarity

Our strike plans for next week. We’ve been asking @UniStrathclyde to rule out compulsory redundancies. They have consistently refused to do so. #StrathLife

To be fair, Morrissey spending years building a European tour whining about how the elites had canceled him, only to cancel himself because music festivals are noisy and he didnt sleep very well, is very Morrissey. Prick. nme.com/news/music/mor…

To be fair, at least nobody could accuse him of doing this to further his own career.

I've joined @UKLabour. As an environmentalist and left-leaning social democrat, my views are now far closer to Labour than the increasingly radicalised Greens and are much better reflected in the work of people like Ed Miliband and Sadiq Khan than by Zack Polanski or Mothin Ali.

Little bit late, but very proud to have been re-elected for a 3rd year as President of @ShefTUC. With an anti-worker govt here at home, and the rise of imperialism and militarism around the world, it will be a busy year. The fight for a Socialist world continues.

#Orgreave is one of the most serious abuses of power by police & govt in British trade union history. The truth has not been told or acknowledged by the state. Successive govts & police have covered it up. An #OrgreaveInquiry must hold police & govt to account #OrgreaveJustice

Grassroots Left
Grassroots Left@Grassroots_Left·
STATEMENT: DON’T ATTACK IRAN! Grassroots Left vehemently condemns the unprovoked imperialist attack on Iran, coordinated jointly by the US and Israel – and in the middle of negotiations with the Iranian regime. In a direct hit on a school, 36 children have been killed. Hundreds, if not thousands more innocent people will be killed.  The US and Britain are backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza to the hilt. They have no standing to claim that they are supporting democracy in Iran or anywhere else in the Middle East. Trump claims he wants ‘regime change’. But the liberation of Iran from the reactionary regime of the Islamic Republic is the task of the Iranian people and the Iranian working class. Our solidarity is with them.  Every bomb, every aggression and every economic sanction directed by US imperialism against Iran is a blow against the Iranian people, not the regime. That regime draws succour from all attempts at foreign imperialist interference, posing as representatives of the unity of the nation. 
The British and American butchers of Baghdad, those enablers of Israel, must get out of the Middle East. Grassroots Left calls on Your Party and the whole British labour and trade union movement to oppose this new imperialist adventure: to oppose Starmer’s intention to increase military spending by billions and to demand that Britain get out of NATO now. grassrootsleft.org/statement-dont…

UCU staff are on strike against their employer, the University and College Union itself, due to ending Working From Home mandates and healthy and safety issues. It comes to something when this happens.
