You have to be ready for the unthinkable. The stuff that "surely nobody would -?"

Because they will.

It isn't just that. It's saying "maybe. Maybe you'll matter - but give me this first, and then we'll see."

How about no.

I like Sultana, but I'm getting SWP vibes off YP at this point.

Absolutely this! 💚💕

If they are starting a socially illiberal party, do you think it matters?

Enough muddy subdued colours! LET US ROAR!

They are so intensely comfortable, and yet such meh colours. 💔

I'm glad they are pissed off and sad they are in the LDs.

You can't be left and socially conservative. Equality is a sine qua non of the left.

What you're talking about is small-c conservatives that want to tack on a liveable minimum wage.

Whereas what YP actually seem to be is pro Palestine, anti trans.

And right now that's ALL they seem to be.

I spend a lot of time in Skechers go walks, and, dear Skechers, I am begging you to do them in some decent colours. What's wrong with a nice Lambo scarlet or yellow? Give me a poisonous green pair. Put some fucking sequins on them. Please, we aren't America.

We seem to have lost the understanding that you study things because you want to know more about them, not because you want them to give you a job.

'Transferable skills' are so-called precisely because they are not career specific, my god.

Wait so you're saying that #YourParty 's main selling point is that they are socially conservative?

The problem Zarah has ( and alot of people on the left) is they have to rationalise the need for Your Party and not just joining the Greens.
So they are trying to come up with redlines. Pretty tough if you were a Labour member until the other day.

So... the main difference is that YP welcomes transphobes, and has the dodgy whiff of islamophobia (because the only reason #YourParty are welcoming transphobes is that the transphobes are telling them it's normal for Muslims to be bigoted)?

Sort your house out.

Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana.bsky.social · 1d

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

I am a cis woman. I have endometriosis, adenomyosis, I have had ten miscarriages, I may have ovarian cancer, I an about to have a total hysterectomy. The idea that that malfunctioning, agonising, broken BASTARD of a reproductive system is what makes me a woman is actually downright offensive....

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 18h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I don't think protagonists who don't understand revenge are very popular in books. 🤣 They tend to be short, boring books, whereas yours sounds much more exciting.
