Thoughts on London COP26 demo 1/ About 50k ppl; a lot of them young BUT... no large school-age contingents ....
2/ Green Party presence more significant than *official* Labour presence. There were Labour branches, momentum and many unions but Labour itself did zero and had zero impact ....
3/ COP26 mobilised the London radical salariat ... never at any moment would it have kicked off ... but it was big and dedicated: significant groups of ethnic and national minorities, precarious workers ... also lot of children ...
4/ The interesting thought occurred: this is what the left would look like if Labour suddenly didn't exist - formless, powerless butmore capable of self expression
