#JeremyCorbyn: "I can confirm to the House, under my leadership [of Labour] #Mandelson had no role, no influence & no part to play"

And of course, the establishment know that #Corbyn didn't represent the interests of the ruling class who #Mandelson represented. That was why Corbyn's leadership of the #LabourParty was ruthlessly destroyed ... and why #Starmer drove Corbyn out of the party.

Wes Streeting's abilities are being scrutinized, with some Labour MPs questioning whether he has what it takes to be a better prime minister than Starmer. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/30/world/slick-eastender-britains-next-prime-minister/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #keirstarmer #andyburnham #wesstreeting #labourparty #reformuk #tonyblair #uk #nigelfarage

Happy Sunday, as the UK's so-called " #LabourParty" blocks #AndyBurnham's return to the #HouseOfCommons. 👍

#UKLabour's National Executive Commitee has refused #Burnham's request to be allowed to apply to be the by-election candidate in #GortonAndDenton.

Blocking the party's most popular man will

1/ start a huge row in the #RedTories, between fans of hard-right #Starmer and fans of soggy centrist #Burnham.

2/ hand the seat to #GPEW leader #ZackPolanski.

Great work, Starmer! 😈 😂 🤣 #Popcorn

Funny how many donors to Farage and people close to him get money from Russia, then pass it on to him. I mean it’s almost like he’s a traitor and a Russian asset, but that can’t be true of the great patriot, can it?…..

If your only tool is a hammer, every issue looks like a nail. If you only think of politics through the lense of electoralism, you'll believe such ridiculous things like a need to back the greens because anything else splits the vote.

Which historic changes have been achieved in parliament? None. They were enacted by a parliament, but fought for by mass organizing and in protest on the streets. The best long term alternative I see to the Tories, Labour, and even Reform, is grassroots community organizing, which is the goal of Your Party.

Emancipating people, showing them how they can fight for themselves, instead of carrying the faulty belief that we need representatives to fight for us.

@ErikUden While in principle I like your partys organizational principles the best, its still electoralism and material forces will cause capitalists to infiltrate and corrupt your party, remember 100 years ago labour was a party of the labour movement

You're right that changes are fought for on the ground but we cant let the bells and whistles of party organising hamper the movement, mutual aid is not charity, as soon as our movement becomes solely dependant on investment from yourparty we will become party organs. I'm not saying dont take the money because initial set up can take a lot of cash but dont become dependant on it, build dual power directly coops and mutual aid structures of all kinds

Thomas Piketty (interviewed in the FT) thinks that there's a real danger that Keir Starmer will destroy the Labour Party even more effectively than François Hollande destroyed the French Socialist party....

as Piketty warns, Labour 'have to move left in terms of economic & fiscal policies because the UK has so many parties on the right already. You cannot compete with the Conservative & Reform parties on the right'!

Sadly advice that will be ignored!

@therightarticle Of course - #WarCriminal #TonyBlair is right in the middle of this. #LabourParty appear to have handed the UK over to tax avoiding American corporate business like #Palantir #BlackRock the Blair creature, and done so without consulting the regions in which these companies will be based.

"Labour party delegates have voted that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and should be sanctioned"

So, it is now the official policy of the Labour Party that Israel is committing genocide, while a Labour Government continues to arm the perpetrator of that genocide.
