Your Corbyn/Sultana Party - Discussion thread - Part 3

[fromorbit]

Welcome to Part 3 of Mumsnet charting the drama inside Your Party. We have followed YP from the start when it looked liked it might be a major player to its ongoing internal row which has left it struggling.

We have the best and funniest commentary on British hard left wing politics, looking not just at YP itself, but wider issues plaguing the left. Dominated by the problem which weirdly didn't worry Marx, the Chartists, Anarchists, Trade Unionists, even Communist regimes, or much of the long history of left wing feminists, but suddenly in the last ten or so years has become huge. Is Human biology a thing ? Are men in dresses the most oppressed people on the planet even if they are billionaires?

Currently we are looking at Your Party internal elections which have been dominated by the split between the Corbyn and Sultana factions who have different visions of how the party should look. Summarised here:

Your Party? Whose elections?

Sultana's Grassroots Left slate not only added Corbyn without permission but others. It seems they are being denounced for undemocratic manoeuvres.

Fractures amongst Sultana's shadow caucus have opened up

As always the Men in Dresses have outsize importance. The Trans Liberation group are backing the Sultanate Grassroots Left faction, but things as always are messy.

The set up of the YP voting also means there are male and female posts in each region. The non binary types are claiming this is unfair what about them:
Is this trolling? LGBTQIA+ group demand "non-binary" CEC spots
A Your Party clique is infuriated that non-men/women isn't a category for the elections.

There is plenty more crazy to come.

Your Corbyn/Sultana Party - Discussion thread - Part 2
All about the conference and run up which really saw YP faction fighting intensify. Highlights included a Scottish "trans" male sex pest berating the conference.

Finally something TRAs and GC women can agree on? SWP are shit

Good on them.

SWP god tier gaslighting:

“We have never been disruptive, disrespectful or dehumanising to the organisers and we’re confused as to why they’ve said that. Our members, including trans+ people, go on the march each year to stand united the avalanche of transphobia.

“We’re proud that when too many organisations are silent, or duck the question, the SWP is 100% for trans+ rights and is part of the movement fighting for them in our workplaces and communities.

“At a time when the far right are a danger to trans+ people, and when the British state is attacking our right to exist, we hope this year’s trans+ pride is one of the biggest yet.”

Tldr: trans pride are wrong and we're going anyway

I might post it on that relevant thread.

Looks like Sheffield contingent told them to fuck off too

As did Manchester assembly last year in this posters follow up tweet

It's pretty funny.

You can sense the mock concern from the comrade. "We're confused as to why they think that..".

= "We're sorry YOU feel that way"

They must be itching to say "after. all. We've. Done. For. You.."

Hilarious. Booted out of YP now Pride. What next for SWP banned from Palestine demo? That will really sting.

There is already a schism in pro Pal activism. I posted in an earlier thread, but those that consider themselves "authentic" (ie Muslim/ Arab) supporters of Palestine are convinced that the Palestine Solidarity committee (fronted by keffiyeh wearing Christian Palestinian trot Ben Jamal) are a front for mossad and urge say young Muslims to affiliate to more Islamic based organisations who don't "compromise with Zionist structures", whatever that is.

The poster girl for the UK Intifada the Palestinian surgeon Rahmeh Aladwan was championed by Zack Polanski and assorted lefties in Your Party even after she started up with blatant anti Jewish hate speech including linking Polanski to usury.

She's not exactly hoping Palestine will be a socialist furry inclusive utopia Zarah Sultana was advocating for
