I have a letter in this week’s @socialistworker.bsky.social

It responds to an article on electoral strategy by @tomashtengely.bsky.social

I agree with Tomáš & the SWP, a “broad-based, pluralist umbrella” is needed to intervene in elections.

Next step: a delegate conference of left organisations.

As I argue here:

Good bit on the Socialist Alliance:

“At the start, the idea of a genuine left-wing unity pulled in hundreds of activists who had been distanced from the left. That initial energy was not sustained – but the start at least was encouraging.”

We can do this again - and sustain it!

Good to see @climatevanguard.bsky.social taking part in this discussion on the party question.

Les P Litts reports from the We Demand Change summit and ponders what should be the next steps for the left in Britain?

💷 Meet the Billionaire 💷

This is Michael Platt, the richest man in the UK.

Wouldn't it be good free up that cash to do something useful?

Nice to read short pieces from @tuscoalition.bsky.social candidates here:

Good point here about how the We Demand Change summit united trade unionists and campaigners who support different parties (or none) and that future summits must do the same.

I think what’s needed is a separate delegate conference of left groups to form an electoral alliance…
