🚨 UNISON members first, Labour Party second!

I will end our subservient approach to the Labour Government and will oppose government policies that conflict with UNISON policies.

The penalties for dangerous driving should be largely unrelated to whether you got unlucky while doing so, which means we should have many many many more driving bans and slightly fewer jail sentences

FYI Imgur blocking UK users isn't because of the Online Safety Act, it's because they're in the process of being fined for not following data protection laws.

In the town of Bury, Lancashire, it is apocryphally impossible to use the standard test for bowel cancer, because all the residents have so much hemoglobin in their stools because of the amount of black pudding they eat.

"on a technicality"

Not really.

A failure to get necessary consents to a terror charge is not a slight error. They are safeguards when a person faces a serious charge.

Prosecutors should take such safeguards seriously: this is terrorism law they are using.

I’m a member of Your Party - and if you haven’t joined yet, you should too.

I’ll remain a fierce advocate for the grassroots – and will continue to fight hard for maximum member democracy.

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

Excited to announce the first London screening of We Are Making a Film About Mark Fisher, a film I have been helping with this past year. I'm in conversation with Andy Beckett (who features in the fim) afterwards.

Yeah I’m struggling to see how the project manages to recover from this?
A statement from Zarah Sultana MP Zarah Sultana MP Posted in Announcements I I want to clarify the situation regarding the membership system for Your Party. Neither of this week's emails had the dual authorisation of both myself and Jeremy - which was the agreement made at the start of this process. After being sidelined by the MPs named in today's statement and effectively frozen out of the official accounts, I took the step of launching a membership portal so that supporters could continue to engage and organise. This was in line with the roadmap set out to members on Monday and is a safe, secure, legitimate portal for the party. Everyone who supports us should sign up now. My sole motivation has been to safeguard the grassroots involvement that is essential to building this party. Unfortunately, I have been subjected to what can only be described as a sexist boys' club: I have been treated appallingly and excluded completely. They have refused to allow any other women with voting rights on the Working Group, blocking the gender-balanced committee that both Jeremy and I signed up to. It is also important to be transparent about why this situation has arisen. I do not believe members will accept Karie Murphy and her associates having sole financial control of members' money and sole constitutional control over our conference. This undermines the democratic principles we agreed to uphold. From the outset, we agreed that MOU Operations Ltd - stewarded by Jamie Driscroll, Beth Winter and Andrew Feinstein - would hold and manage funds on behalf of members until the founding conference, at which point they would be transferred to a new entity established democratically. Every penny raised so far has gone to MOU Operations, and this continues to be the case within our new membership portal. This, to be clear, is members' money - and our members must decide how it is spent. This arrangement was designed to ensure transparency, accountability and protection against the concentration of financial control in the hands of any one person. I regret that today's statement has misrepresented the situation. My actions have been consistent with our shared commitment: to build an open, democratic and member-led organisation. I will continue to fight for a process where members' money, data and voices are safeguarded, not centralised under the control of one individual. I am calling on Jeremy to meet with me and agree to make public all agreed structures, processes and decision-making protocols. Doing this will restore hope for our members, and ensure nothing like this can ever happen again. This party is more important than any one person, and we all owe it to the movement to deliver a truly democratic and socialist party. The democratic founding conference of this party will take place in late November. I will keep fighting for a minimum programme for maximum democracy, you have my word. No stitch-ups, no coronations: the members must decide. Zarah Sultana MP Member of Parliament for Coventry South
