Starmer is merely a symptom of the illness. There's no point whatsoever fixating on his leadership as a singular issue. Dogs bark. Snakes bite. Starmer is a capitalist. He does what they do. Wanna resist? Then stand against @UKLabour openly, as a socialist. Create an alternative.

We're experiencing something special in some North Tyneside areas. We're persistent, patiently continuing dialogue, engaging with those skeptical of us. Judge us on action, not words. Where Labour or the BNP once would've mopped up, and for the first time, we have an actual base.

Chris Williamson gets a lot of shit from a lot of so-called 'lefts'. I've campaigned side-by-side with Chris. You'll meet fewer people who are as capable on the doorstep. I don't give a shit if he'd made mistakes in the past. We all have. He's a principled socialist. @DerbyChrisW

Congratulations to all @WorkersPartyGB , @TUSCoalition and @CPBritain candidates. You have the boldness and tenacity to contest elections for our class and socialist programmes. We need more socialists to step up and come forward, swapping tough talk for serious organized action.

Jeremy Corbyn could absolutely stand as an independent, and win. Why would he limit himself, though? @jeremycorbyn has the influence and support necessary to expand such a campaign to become a whole new party capable of attracting hundreds of thousands of votes and winning seats!

Brothers and sisters of @theRCN are to be commended. Their rejection, although not resounding, is a clear resistance to the miserly offer and an indication that we all can and must push harder. @UniteinHealth members have until the 28th to #VoteReject and reballot. Make it count.

I hope no one misconstrues my desire for @unitetheunion Labour disaffiliation as being anti- @UniteSharon . I proudly campaigned for Sharon to become GS. I support those who support her programme, including EC candidates. I believe most of our members desire this. It's beyond a GS.

It's heartening to observe many tributes to legendary trade unionist Bob Crow, worthy of remembrance. Not one I observed marked his unique political courage and vision however. Sadly omitted was Bob's determination to build a new workers' party. He was a militant in every sense.

Hilarious to hear David Blunkett of all people say "standards in public life matter", when he as a council leader committed to a course of setting a socialist and no-cuts budget, only to renege and kiss the ring of arch-Tory Neil Kinnock, becoming one of Blair's babes. Ha. #BBCqt

Scenes from US universities, with faculty, students and supporters being ruthlessly assaulted by law enforcement, are eerily comparable to the events at Kent State on 4th May 1970, and equally as disturbing. 'Civil rights' in the nation of my birth are but an elaborate illusion.

they had expressed a desire within Labour to speak at our rally. They were then warned that to do so would tempt expulsion. Incredible. A CWU National Executive member, an RCN shop steward, an Unite shop steward, two AfC-linked Unite members, and two retired doctors addressed us.

#ErdingtonVoteDaveNellist for our NHS. We can't continue in gruelling conditions to deliver results patients need and rightly demand. Our NHS needs a fierce ally in parliament to ensure you receive the very best care, free at the point of use, and without a private profit motive.

I feel it's an especially relevant time to recall that @Keir_Starmer sought to scapegoat migrant workers in the NHS a mere matter of months ago. #Labour doesn't discriminate in its inclination to divide workers, whether on the basis of industry and sector, or national origin.

What's crystal clear from @UKLabour 's political violence against @WorkersPartyGB is that not only do they feel entitled to maintain their elected officials but that they're prepared to lash out rather than relinquish power. It's the most revealing and ultimate act of desperation.
