The CV is done (to be proofread tomorrow) so now onto the cover letter, which begs the question why I can’t just write “please give me this job I promise I am very good 🥺”

PS — this isn’t apologism for the racialised misogyny that Sultana has faced, which is obvs wrong. Your Party, or whatever they end up being called, *is* a boy’s club (which she partially colludes with re: SWP involvement). But to me, a lot of this infighting is still about a jostle for power.

It’s quite pathetic, really, and belies the fact that parliamentary politics is less about change and more about consolidating power in the hands of those who crave it.

Anyway, the Greens are the best we have at the moment in terms of this sort of project, but we need movement outside of that.

3/3

As it stands, it screams ego to me. They don’t want to be part of a movement. They want to lead one.

So they keep fucking up and arguing because ego goes against ego to see who is most correct, most leadership-worthy. It’s a pissing contest.

Surprised Corbyn doesn’t want his gross mates in his party, tbf! That’s the only surprise here really

Oh wait, it’s just popped up! Imagine that being a hill to die on. Deeply embarrassing

I haven’t seen this, but I can imagine it means she’s allying with them? If so, disappointing but also not too surprising, although as you say I would’ve put money on Corbyn being the one to do it

Absolutely! We’ve always got to look to the margins of mainstream discourse, so that no one gets left behind. Especially as these policies disproportionately affect disabled people, racialised people, queer people, and women and marginalised genders. At the intersections of those? Things compound
