My speech at the Your Party conference on why we should unashamedly be a party of the working class and why that means no expulsions of socialists and a democratically-elected leadership that ends the factionalism

@davmidd @TurnLeftMediaUK @zarahsultana Because the rules were set in interim at the founding of the party. And yes, I'd expect any Labour, Greens, Lib Dem, Tory, Reform, SNP, PC or even MRLP to be expelled if found. They lied on their application form.

Bold statement by @zarahsultana as she brings a large group of members outside Your Party conference and speaks against the expulsions.

@TurnLeftMediaUK @zarahsultana "End toxic culture" but she wants SWP members back in, the very epitome of toxicity. They shouldn't have been allowed to join, it was clear on the membership application form that you cannot be a member or another party.

Jeremy acted out of duty. I’ve just listened to a clip of Jackie Walker on Crispin Flintoff’s show last night, criticising Jeremy Corbyn’s letter for saying he’d taken legal advice. Jackie said: “it worries me, the culture of people who are jumping to go to court… this is a political issue that is going on… why even raise it?” Crispin then chipped in: “I know it wasn’t Jeremy that wrote that. It was someone who is in his team… Zarah Sultana put out an email that Jeremy’s team didn’t authorise. Now that’s annoying but to go out and say that was unauthorised is just so in your face and public… I mean just kind of say to them look that wasn’t the right thing to do - do it quietly but to kind of blow it up.” That is not only factually wrong - Jeremy was legally required to issue both a corrective email to supporters whose data had been used unlawfully, and a public statement, once Zarah’s unauthorised email had circulated widely and she had confirmed its authenticity on social media. To suggest otherwise is insulting to Jeremy, implying he lacks agency or control over his own decisions, and smearing his team. Jackie then reinforced this by saying: “but he has control of his team and they’ve now sent out two emails like that - and we need it to stop.” This completely misrepresents the seriousness of Jeremy’s legal responsibilities as both a company director and the named leader on the Electoral Commission application. Jeremy’s letter was legally required to: - Protect Peace & Justice Project Ltd as the legal entity and data controller responsible for the supporter database. - Protect Your Party’s registration with the Electoral Commission, which is still at the application stage - meaning no-one can legally sign up members or collect membership fees yet. - Protect himself personally from liability under both data law and party law. Had Jeremy stayed silent, regulators could have treated the unauthorised email, portal, and solicitation of membership money as official - exposing him, Peace & Justice Project, and Your Party’s application to serious sanctions. It’s Crispin’s show, and he is free to run it as he wishes. But giving space to commentary that so badly misrepresents the facts - without appropriate challenge, correction, or balance - risks misleading supporters at a crucial moment. How does that serve the left movement at all? 👉 Jeremy had legal duties. 👉 Zarah’s actions were unlawful. 👉 Jackie and Crispin misrepresented the legal reality at the very moment we need clarity.

@NAJ562 Did that need to be communicated to the members, publicly in this way? What makes you say her actions were unlawful? Has the case already been heard? I think a bit of quiet on this would be a good idea. Neither party have been faultless but these communications are unhelpful

@NAJ562 @WirralLinda I think you are being entirely disingenuous on the law here. The law prevents anybody standing in an election if not registered. It does not prevent a party or organisation or individual from that matter from signing up members. So check the law before making assertions.

Hi Linda, just to clarify. It’s true that private associations can charge fees. But once you apply to register with the Electoral Commission, you come under their rules. Until registration is approved, you can’t legally present yourself as a party or solicit membership fees in its name. That’s the issue here/ Zarah’s portal wasn’t just a donation page, it was framed as official membership of “Your Party” - while the application is still pending. That’s why it crossed into unlawful territory, and why Jeremy had no choice but to act.

@CAABase This is a disaster for Spurs who can now look forward to starting the new season with a thoroughly demotivated squad. We should wish the next manager well because, frankly, they will get a year to turn us into league champions whilst the board hides and stabs them in the back.

In case anybody was under any illusions about Rayner’s socialist credentials, this pretty much nails it. They didn’t even get an invite to the inauguration. They’re having to grovel at a distance.

Congratulations to @JDVance on becoming US Vice President. As Deputy Prime Minister, I know we’ll work closely together to strengthen the vital UK-US bond and deliver for our citizens. Look forward to speaking soon.

@simonmaginn @metpoliceuk And apparently, to protect jews at a synagogue, they had to "kettle" other jews, including my 82 year old mother. She has angina, she was freezing cold but it seems that she posed such a threat that, despise her pleas, they refused to let her leave.

No apology from the Met for lying about Corbyn and McDonnell 'forcing their way through', when video evidence shows the precise opposite. It's profoundly disturbing that the Met's lie is still uncorrected. Reality is not theirs to invent. @metpoliceuk #ItWasAScam
