Credit where it’s due
[Header image: a video by The Canary, as the police inform those standing vigil that an ambulance is finally on its way to Bronzefield] To friends who aren’t willing to give Your Party a go, and to those who’ve given up in exasperation – I get it, I really do! But – well, the following…

This is what we mean by erasing women
‘Your Party’ have chosen the delegates for their first conference ‘by sortition’. They said this would ensure that a genuinely representative cross section of their supporters would be present. I suppose as we’re aiming for a ‘bottom up’ democracy, the fact that this has ruled out some of the natural leaders who’ve been working for…

Socially conservative views, anyone?
I’m feeling pretty sorry for the Independent Alliance MPs just now. They’re new MPs. They’re there because the people in their constituencies wanted something better than what the Westminster Parties were offering, and that tells me two things: one, it must have been really hard for them to find their feet and make a space…

I think we’ve brought up a generation of humans who can’t cope with the fact that they can’t block everyone they don’t like in real life. What’s even more destructive is that it’s…

Please don’t wait for Jeremy
Apart from anything else, I have a feeling it’s the last thing he wants you to do. If he’s learned the same lessons I have from being involved with the assemblies movement, he’ll be hoping like hell that you’re just getting on with it, your way. We really, seriously do need that thing everyone’s been…

Four Long Years
It feels like about 200 years ago I stepped down as a Labour Party CLP officer, and got stuck into the women’s rights campaign. Initially, I didn’t have a particularly articulate view of the conflict between women’s legal rights and Stonewall et al’s demands under the title ‘trans rights’, but I did have a very…
