Really pleased to see this intervention from @zarahsultana to sharpen the draft documents ahead of @thisisyourparty conference. This needs to be a party that the working class can exercise democratic control over.

Iโve always fought โ and always will โ for maximum member democracy.
If you believe Your Party should be explicitly socialist, radically democratic, rooted in mass movement and led by our members, not MPs โ join me and back these democratic demands:

The level of depravity, cowardice and corruption from @FIFAcom... Shameful.
The best referee in Africa.
Dropped from the tournament.
Because of Trump's racist immigration policies.
Lower than vermin.
Africa's top referee will not be allowed to officiate at the World Cup after he was refused entry to the USA, FIFA has confirmed ๐จ

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Solid pickets and great turnout @GCU_UCU strike to defend 100 jobs and say no to compulsory redundancies. Hearing from branch president Karen Lorimer that university has no deficit and cuts are a choice not a necessity #StopTheCuts #SaveHE #SaveTheGCU100

The claim that the Left doesn't care about violence by the police when done against white people is false.
I'm sorry, I don't remember Farage et al ever talking about Iain Tomlinson or Blair Peach.
Total nonsense.
