Your Corbyn/Sultana Party - Discussion thread - Part 3

And so it came to pass

https://www.bradford.gov.uk/your-council/elections-and-voting/current-political-composition/

Reform 29 seats.

Your Independent party 9, greens 9, other independent 4

Still 3 seats to decide

Sultana has been on the phone to Bindmans

"On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences."

She also has the receipts on Burnham

And newly converted green lefties stats isn't likely to propose a left unity slate if this is anything to go by

Birmingham looks like it's now in a state of chaos where it's impossible for anyone to achieve a majority.

Reform are the biggest party but with only 23 seats out of 101, and adding on the Tories (if they could work together) only gets you to 36.

Greens plus Labour plus Lib Dems only gets up to 48.

Nobody wants to form a coalition with the Islamic Peaky Blinders, but I suppose they'll be willing to help another coalition, for a price.

The rubbish is piled up in more places in Birmingham than just the streets.

Did he really direct this McDonald's ad?

If it is, the fact he tries to make it low-key and realist (like, no actual punchline) almost makes it worse than a straight up commercial jingle slogan ad

Different left groupsicle.

Reminds me of the glory days of Marxist analyses of the Magic Roundabout and suchlike hobbies

Happy Birthday Comrade Marilyn

Oh. Looks like she's switched to the greens

Also from that article

"..In an as yet unrelated incident, the cars and house windows of a grandfather, a community activist in the city, were smashed up in a targeted incident. Thugs smashed the glass in and around the home of Javed Iqbal in a terrifying early morning attack in Botha Road, Bordesley Green, in the early hours of Sunday May 24..."

Multiple posts mentalism from me here.

It looks like there's been another split

The ultimate humiliation is that it's led Zoe Williams to ponder about it in the guardian and urge them to figure out what they want

Corbzy being dredged up on Sky to deliberate on the upcoming coronation of Burnham

https://nitter.net/jeremycorbyn/status/2068432415136043330#m

Imma keep this solitary vigil for the cluster 🦆 going .

From The Many. Now The Few. Sultana faction issues a vote of no confidence against 3 Corbynite members but doesn't have enough clout to actually remove them.

Clause 5.2 was invoked, it's that serious .

One of those purged/ not purged is described as an "exhibitionist fruitcake" who once chained herself to some railings to protest a parking ticket

I saw that elsewhere 😂 hilarious

Hadi boasted that people from Burnham’s election team had described SUTR’s mobilisation as “the backbone” of Labour’s campaign on the ground, with SUTR members on occasion outnumbering those drafted in by Labour.

This is such obvious bollocks that I'm surprised even an SWP audience was willing to tolerate it.

They're very easily buttered up aren't they.

Musks former ally said he chose to cultivate fascists because they're easy to buy off with sufficient cash. All the Trotskyites need are a few Smiths lyrics and a Scouse accent

"Katie Coles, who chaired the opening rally, declared, “Nothing makes me feel more hopeful, more optimistic than seeing Starmer in a fit of tears outside Downing Street . Good riddance!”

Nice people, so kind!

Lewis Nielsen, to be fair to him, does not have a fake Scouse accent. How he manages to sound like a geezer from Dagenham when both his parents have quite posh RP voices is another matter.

I've become fascinated by Labour's mayoral candidate Bev Craig. I can understand a Northern Irish person moving to England at 18 and losing her accent. (Though that's easier said than done; decades in England will usually soften a Norn Iron accent so you get mistaken for Canadian, but not English)

Somehow though, Bev has entirely lost her Belfast accent, and despite spending her whole adult life in very white-collar working environments, she doesn't speak RP either. She seems to have acquired a fake working-class Manchester accent that makes her sound like she's auditioning to be on Phoenix Nights.

Of course this is the Labour Party, so nobody asks why all these people are so weird.

Trotskyite grave dancing is a long time tradition.

That comment on the age range of the Festival of Marxism gig reminds me of a joke about Stalin going into an orthodox church. He gloats at the patriarch that "look at your congregation. They're all old and dying. You're finished! Your religion is dead! None of them will be here in 20 years!"

"Ah" says the patriarch. "But then there will be new old people".

Is hoping for Full Marxism now a pastime for the elderly alongside going on saga cruises and complaining about the typeface in Private Eye

To be frank looking at the images of those meetings one is reminded of an church congregation. Whenver people join forces in such a way or sign up to a particular political creed then that is what you end up with.

Mark Steel had a good joke (he has his moments) that when he joined the SWP at 18, he was 5 years younger than the average member, and when he left at 50, he was still 5 years younger than the average member.

🤣Didn't realise they were still going ( sort of!).🍿

If you remember the September of the open letters and factionalism last year, one of the signees of this open letter (calling on mass socialist democracy in Your Party) matches the name and town of the man currently in custody for the murder of Ann Widdecombe

The Mail have a feature on him but this is gleaned from elsewhere.

NB it's not the multiple joke entries from Adolf Hitler, Napoleon or Jeffrey Epstein

Very interesting. I lolled at some of the joke entries, did the petition get advertised somewhere very edgelordy?

Adolf Hitler signed five times.
