What?

 

[Chuff]

its the beetroot from Jeremy Corbyns Jewish dinner party - the fuck capitalism beetroot that has had the meedja in turmoil

 

[teqniq]

this one made me smile the most

 

[cantsin]

just watched the Novara / Lansman interview - interesting stuff, Lansman v conciliatory on A/S, and not at all prickly when questioned about Mom's internal democracy / lack thereof etc.

Perhaps most importantly, first official sounding word re: the reselection issue that I've heard , ie : that conference will vote on an "enhanced version of current trigger ballot" option in Sept - but mandatory reselection isn't on the cards.

Has anyone else heard any more about this / have further details ?

 

[ska invita]

Bumping again, fishing for anecdotes
Anyone?

 

[Riklet]

Still paying a few quid every month.

Thinking about leaving.

went to a bigger / more regional Mom meet on sat - blew my mind a bit tbh, and not in a good way ( nothing AS related or anything) .

But : it was 50 % young ( +old, with usual demographic gap in the middle ), and keen to engage with socialism (though no one very sure in what form ) , and for now, still seems like the only game in town .

That’s what Ed and David Miliband said.

The evidence is there, Tom Watson has published some, but keep your head in the sand, safer that way than actually tackling what has become a running sore.

Yeah. That 2000odd post thread on the issue we've done, doesn't exist, does it eh Sasaferrato?

I wasn't aware that this is the Labour party. Urban is a wee bit different.

What??
I am very aware of the slime chucking going on thank you !
Fuck it

Very true.

I thought your inference was that we weren't taking it seriously...

How many Momentum or Labour meetings have you been to? How many Labour organised events have you attended?

please elaborate

 

[cantsin]

please elaborate

sorry, started writing out a long response to this, but just felt like bitter, misguided bullsh*t on a public forum - if this thread hangs about for a while, will return to it / reply, when it isn't so easily traceable what / where the meeting was etc

 

[chainsawjob]

I've cancelled my membership.

And joined Acorn renter's rights group instead. Cos it will be more immediate use to me, plus I've been thinking about leaving the Labour Party for a while now, is it really how I want to spend my time/money? I don't contribute much except doing flyers at election time, and don't want to be more involved, I tried local branch meetings, but it's just not me really.

 

[chainsawjob]

Oh there are political/ideological/personnel (Starmer) reasons too, but I cba to go into all that.

Are you a trade union member? You could still be an associate supporter if you are paying the political levy.

Yep, Unite Community, that's another reason I don't really need LP membership.

However, if you fancy adding a little drama to your exit, you can also post a heart-felt, tear-soaked letter direct to your CLP – along with your membership card cut up into a thousand tiny pieces, and a sad mix-tape.

Here's how you can cancel your Labour party membership
