We disagree vehemently with much of Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi's politics, including on antisemitism. But her expulsion from Labour, shortly after being elected to its executive, shows how Starmer et al's top concern is to suppress party democracy.

More: momentuminternationalists.org/2022/12/17/rei… Wimborne-Idrissi's politics and activity have been consistent for years.

We hope that there will be a great uproar about the expulsion of Andrea Egan, president of giant public sector trade union Unison.

A vibrant and militant picket line at the Liverpool docks this morning #solidarity “Statistically this job is more dangerous than the military. You’ve more chance of dying as a docker than you do in the army, where your job is to get shot at.”

#LabourConference2022 delegate from Edinburgh Vijay Jackson quotes Keir Hardie on why the labour movement should oppose the #monarchy

#QueenElizabethII #KingCharlesIII #NotMyKing #Labour #Lab22 Image This is what Hardie said:

"Even under a representative system of government it is possible to paralyse a nation by maintaining the fiction that a reigning family is a necessity of good government. Now, one of two things must be – either the British people are fit to govern
