McSweeney was company secretary of Labour Together while he was running Starmerโ€™s Labour leader bid.

During this period, Labour Together was breaking the law by failing to report donations; it also secretly backed Starmer.

So, do we have an illegally-elected PM?

The first condition for success is met: breaking with Labour, its lies, its neoliberalism, and its rotten affiliation with Tony Blair, and moving forward autonomously and independently.
