I live in an EU country, and consider it unwise & imprudent to apply to rejoin the EU while warmongering Ursula VD Leyen & Kaja Kallas are at the helm.
A single Market & Customs union agreement would suffice.

When I listen to BBC R4 "news", I wait for the prog to have progressed for ~15 mins, and then go to the start - so I can skip the gossipy stuff 😊

I mostly mute as a first step... The next step could go either way.
Occasionally a person I've muted for one unacceptable view, comes up with a good, reasonable view on something else, so I unmute.
But if they continue to be obnoxious, I'll block.

Putin doesn't want to "take over Ukraine"; he does want to protect the Russian-speaking people of the Donbas, who Ukraine's Azov Battalion has been aggressing for decades.

I think we're in agreement; 88.3% is far more important than the headline 11.7 %.

A reasonable argument - time will tell if anyone currently in power takes a blind bit of notice, though.
I just want them to leave Venezuela alone!
I mean, it's bad enough that Venezuela is struggling under sanctions that are second only to Russia's...
Its people don't want/need more US aggression!

Your axioms don't appear to be universal, or broadly democratic socialist...
Hold your own faith, by all means, but don't expect everyone to do the same, or to create a party in the image you require.
You don't have to join, or support a new party, if you don't want to.
No doubt there are others...

Well... maybe a party founded by Corbyn isn't for you.
But that doesn't stop you from belonging to another party -- or just being you.

11.8% of *tasks* - unlikely to replace a workforce that accomplishes 88.3% of the rest of it.
Headline: "AI can replace 11.7% of workforce"
Actual study: Anthropic paid MIT to use a "labor simulation tool" that said 11.7% of TASKS could be done by AI

Thanks for the clarification.
I'm happy to know that over 88% of the work I carried out in my admin life could NOT have been done by AI.
Decades ago, I and a colleague devised - in our spare time - an improvement to the then sales-accounts-warehouse system, which had consisted of photocopies...

It sounds as if that's what you want - if you're not prepared to wait for a foundational document or manifesto.

I'm willing to wait and see how building the foundations goes at this founding conference; then the production of a manifesto, before starting to pick at it.

Magnificent indeed.
On a whale watching trip off Vancouver Island, our cap'n turned off the motor...
Soon after, a humpback breached in front of me & I was so excited, I pressed the off button on my camera!
It then dived under the boat, and came up the other side to wave goodbye 😍

OK, but are there any contradictions at the founding conference?
As I said, special interests will be included (I hope) once the foundations are set.

Israel is a murderous, land grabbing state, starving innocents. Hard to understand US, EU & UK support... unless you check political funding from interested parties...

Start with the big picture!
"We are doing this so every child has enough to eat, a roof over their head, and a sense of hope that a better future is possible.
We have a precious opportunity to build a mass movement that can transform this country."
Let’s seize it, together.
