    Zarah is fantastic. Labour has lost one of it’s best MPs. Deservedly. I commend her for this.

    I’d urge everyone to consider supporting her and Jeremy’s new party, even if you’re a “hardliner” who might find some of their platform insufficiently radical. I think they really do believe in building socialism and solidarity, and their track records are very strong.

    The current crop of British communist parties exist well outside the mainstream (and seem to have major issues with transphobia.) Zarah and Jeremy are fairly well known figures and I honestly believe they could build a party that could become a major force to fill that gap on the left that Reform has filled on the right.

    Is she any good? She was a member of the post-purge labour party, and I can’t remember her name from anything cool, but I must admit that my knowledge of individual MPs is pretty sparse.

      Her pinned post on X is about trying to pin down Starmer on Gaza, seems pretty good.

        That’s a positive sign, and wikipedia says she was suspended for the party for voting to end the two-child benefit cap. I choose to be cautiously optimistic.

      Zarah is fantastic. I honestly think she should have been the opposition to Starmer back in the last leadership contest.

      The Scottish green party doesn’t even want to be associated with the UK green party because it sucks that hard.
      Adrian Ramsay can’t answer the question “Are trans women women?” and he won’t expel, discipline or question greens who oppose trans rights (And also supports members of the green party who block green energy projects)

        So that makes them the most “progressive” party in England then?

    Good luck to them but I don’t think they are racist or sex pest enough for the average brit to consider voting for them.
