Comrade Sultana demonstrating she is on the right side of history and fighting the Far Right by

Checks

Complaining about Kanye West being denied a visa after releasing songs called heil Hitler and selling t-shirts with swastikas on them.

Oddly this puts her on the same viewpoint as Nigel Farage

Newham Independents Party might even win the council outright, but the mistake the white left make is to assume that, because NIP is pro-Gaza and Muslim-led, that means it's left wing. From observation, it's basically pro-small business and pro-motorist, and seems particularly vexed by LTNs and parking charges. They had Corbyn and Iqbal Mohamed at their big meeting over the new year - that said, Corbyn might have been the only white person in the room.

It'll be an interesting place to watch. It's a highly deprived borough where Labour hasn't had any serious challenge for about a century. It can't help Labour that the local party has been in special measures for years, or that there's been factional infighting over the mayoral selection, or that Labour HQ has forced a bunch of councillors to stand down because the number who had family ties (spouses, siblings, parent/child) with other councillors was ridiculous even by East End standards.

I'd bet on NIP winning any ward that's more than 35% Muslim, the Greens to do well in certain other wards, and as a joker in the pack, the former long-time Labour mayor has defected to Reform.

Will these candidates have to repent the sin of being landlords, local big time capitalists, and generally skeptical on LGBT matters?
Or is it just enough that they're anti Zionist/pro Gaza?

Ayoub Khan MP (nominally still Your Party) was urging the army to be called in to clear up the backlogs for the bin strikes.

The millieu over the Workers/ political factions of the Gaza independents in Brum isn't very clear to me so you don't know how, or if it would be resolved.

I think we most likley need an exemplar council or two to be taken by the Greens, Reform or Muslim Independents to illustrate how they are not any kind of sensible solution to anything.

I Paraphrase as you said earlier, but left wing in the sense of wanting better public services but not in the sense of wanting Max Shanly to be state funded to sit on his arse and write Haiku's all day.

It's looking like Gaza independents are set to gain control of Birmingham council from polling.

Potentially with the greens but maybe not given the reaction of chief agitant brother Akhmed Yakoob to the camp dancing at the Together Alliance march against the far right last weekend

That sounds a bit like the Respect councillors in Tower Hamlets back in the day who, once they concluded Respect was a dead duck, defected to any party that made them an offer. Once councillor who was a paid up SWP member at the time went to the Tories.

I don't see why West Midlands/Azad Kashmir politics should be any different from East London/Sylhet politics, but Jeremy likes to believe all these councillors are ideological left wingers.

The Dem Soc (I can't remember what faction they are. Sultana aligned I presume) are now also proposing the "Zionism is racism" motion that got bundled off the green party conference last weekend.

Further down in the Charlie Mansell thread is a claim from green aligned LGBTQ account stats for lefties that Corbyn has endorsed Walsall candidates for councillors who were Tory as recently as January

Essentially hustling for the cashflow that would have been Your Party's had they been coherent.

Has Zarah returned the funds yet?

The Gaza independents who are all "landlords and transphobes" in the view of Your Party stalwarts like "Ayatollah of democratic socialism" Max Shanly

Could someone please start a thread like this on Polanksi and the Greens?

It looks like Little Owen Jones was in Cuba too.

So was his better looking millionaire agitprop American counterpart Hasan Piker, who recently did a credulous tour of China but who if anything nowadays is better known for having been accused of using a shock collar on his dog.

According to terrible US blockade conditions, they were forced to stay in a 5 star hotel.

🤣 that’s very amusing

Arf! 😂

My favourite description of them is ‘Goldie Lookin’ Sinn Fein’ 🤭

O how have the mighty fallen!

Not so long ago, every distinguished actor and musician in Britain - except for the Fox family - were supporting Corbyn.

Now he's reduced to slumming it with Belfast's pseudo-edgy middle class theatre kids.

Oh. Ha so that set of Scottish Greens cllrs (including the TRA one being investigated over safeguarding) who switched to them are stuck?

Corbyn, meanwhile, is in Cuba. With Kneecap.

In Corbyn's own backyard, Islington Community Independents (effectively YP) think they've got a chance of electing people, but they're also hoping the Greens will informally give them a free run in certain wards.

Maybe, and I know there are personal relationships that might help, but there have recently been YP defections to GPEW and the Greens might feel they're strong enough not to need pacts with local YP groups.

I'm shocked that so many people are still wasting their time on this fools errand!

Christ it sounds awful.
