For the record we’re not registered with the electoral commission 😅
We want #YourParty to be the insurgent, left force it needs to be.

Yesterday saw another strong day of action at Imperial, with members and students standing shoulder to shoulder with @unitetheunion and @unisontheunion.
Today is the final day of this week’s strikes.
Show your support for colleagues and students fighting for education!
