This is the only thing in politics right now for me. Looking forward to getting involved.

NHS will die under Reform unless Labour start getting their act together.
Or we get behind a progressive alliance.
I use YUNOhost on a VPS and it came with email out of the box. Which is just as well because I had no previous experience self-hosting!
I think I had a couple of emails get marked as spam in the beginning but everything has been totally fine for the last 2/3 years.
Just off the top of my head:
- Gypsies & travellers
- Jews (duh)
- People with mental health problems
- Unemployed people
- People with the wrong regional accent
- Academics and people with university degrees
- People who voted for Jeremy Corbyn
- People who have the wrong internet connection records (great now the Home Office has those isn't it?)
- Cyclists
- Vegetarians
- Hipsters
Totally. Especially if the rich can't get around it.
It's almost unbelievable how grotesque this situation is.
£20 billion in the hole, after paying dividends and bonuses, poisoning national waters and not fixing leaks and you can still find £130 million to pay spies, one if whom is already the Prime Minister's bumchum, to try and stop the government nationalising you before the situation gets even worse.
Not sure whether I'm more disgusted at Thames Water or the government tbh.
How are Labour supposed to get the 'highest growth in the G7' while at the same time protecting the most outrageously failing companies?
A good meme
The things a guy has to do to get some electricity around here.
You can have both parents go out and work full-time to make ends meet (don't ask about economic inequality) or you can have them around to raise their children. You can't have both Bridget, I'm sorry.
Good article.
It's not enough to condemn this stuff - there needs to be an alternative.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt in the run-up to the GE and for quite a while afterwards, thinking that they were just playing it cool and trying not to spook people before getting on with a genuine Labour agenda.
What did it for me though was seeing Scott Morrison being asked what the best way was for people to effect change in their country. He basically said it was to form a faction within a major political party and take it over. A lot of people had already been saying it but that was when I realised that's what happened to Labour.
From what I gather now, Jeremy Corbyn's leadership was actively sabotaged by a set of staff within the party who then took it over and have since been using their leadership to purge typical Labour members who oppose them.
When people started saying this stuff a few years ago I suspected it was a conspiracy theory and that the rightwing media were mostly to blame for stitching up Corbyn but everything we've seen them do confirms it. It's completely outrageous.
I was a Labour member but I'm done with it as a party - it's too open to abuse and as such is a magnet for slimeballs.
Apart from reflecting my views, this new party is going to have authority in the membership, which makes it fundamentally more trustworthy and transparent. I'm genuinely excited and hopeful about it for this reason and others too.
