Reform Party just held a press conference on women’s safety. Nigel Farage didn’t attend. Can you hazard a guess why?

The small village of Dean is in lockdown as Vance visits. But those cheeky rural dwellers have managed to poke him.

Nearly 500,000 sign ups is unprecedented. We have to convert them to fully signed up members. It’s going to rock politics, I agree about the system, I very strongly suspect this party will agree with that as well. Am struggling to see why you shouldnt sign up & help shape it. You’d be a great asset.

Today, the media will wax lyrical about Tebbit & the success of Thatcherism. Yesterday the Thatcherite anti trade union paper, the Financial Times, said it failed.

Reduces ‘bureaucracy’?

It was such a positive uplifting event, good mixed crowd, probably most already committed activists, but a brilliant base from which to build.

We condemn Israel's impunity to act as the lead rottweiler of global capital unleashing unlimited genocide & war on the Middle East from Gaza, the West Bank & Lebanon to Syria. Now threatening a nuclear holocaust by waging all out war against Iran!

End all trade, boycott & sanction Israel now!

We should always do something. The question is what, how & who with. In light of the BNP vote going up, which to my knowledge the SWP never mentioned, I could have missed it, the SW report is telling for not noting that, even if it had an explanation for it.

Why does it go up & what does that say about that particular type of anti fascist work in those days?

What’s also telling is this article questions SWP folklore about the ‘success’ of Barking, as the BNP vote went up. I never knew that.

What’s the link to the article

How the BNP was beaten in Barking - Socialist Worker Many people feared a fascist breakthrough at this election. Alys Zaerin reports on the campaign that beat the BNP.

They did but what’s telling is despite all that work the BNP vote went up, a bit like despite SUTR work last week, the Reform vote went up. The Barking ‘success’ is part of SWP folklore, see this article, which doesn’t mention the BNP vote went up. socialistworker.co.uk/socialist-re...

Define very intelligent

Absolutely. Plus the conclusion of the threat that imitating the far right only emboldens them has been a key point of the anti racist movement for decades.

Your being too polite,! the myth making was led by conscious shit stirring.

If you have a debate on how we can stop the rise of Reform it would be good for the movement to get a sense of what colleagues are saying.

But who fcuk are we anyway. 🤣

$5?

Funnily enough we seem to be seeing ‘HR’ being dropped & without discussion or reflection a ‘People Function’ is being used instead lol.

I’ve had 3 SWP members on my Facebook timeline making vague accusations about ‘the left’ or ‘some on the left’ avoiding calling Reform racist or saying only elections can stop Reform. I’ve not come across any left group or indeed activist saying that. Have you?

A green crescent!

Calling them all racist is working then.

Terribly uncritical piece of both him, his past support for austerity under coalition government, his seeming lack of remorse about that etc.
