If anyone's thinking to spend the weekend fantasising about a left split from Labour, here's an updated summary of why it's crazy ... 1/ Labour is the only route to a left government in Britain. Even Podemos ended up in power as junior partners to PSOE...https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

2/ 56% support for Scottish independence and Labour on 13% in Holyrood polls mean 2024 is the last chance saloon. If Scotland is out of the UK there'll have to be something akin to the US Democrats, or Popular Front in 36 - until the demographics changehttps://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

3/ The culture/values conflict is unavoidable and will be intensified inside any left party. Trans rights, migration, Brexit - all the issues that divide the Labour left would divide anything to the left of it: so then there'd be two left alternatives...https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

4/ What we need is an organised left alliance in the Labour Party - bigger than the SCG and Momentum and based around policy and activism... instead we get the self-defeating project of disaffiliating Unite slice by slice...https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

5/ The scale of the Covid and climate crises mean even traditional social-democrats are having to re-think - just as French liberals did in the 1930s. That means an anti-capitalist left in Labour has to engage constructively...https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

6/ It may be temporary, but look at the poll bounce Labour got when the front bench took the gloves off over school meals. The entire PLP was lined up in one direction... that's what we need now...https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

7/ I hear people saying "I'm going to concentrate on activism". Great. But activism without a party just lets people in suits decide the outcome of your protest/riot/occupation... the elite can live with "activism".

8/ So here's a proposal. The left chooses one issue - strategically it has to be the Green Industrial Revolution - and we slim it down to 5-10 points, and we get CLPs to sponsor a virtual conference to produce a radial plan...https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

9/ RLB did a lot of work on this; it needs to be used and developed. If there's a vacuum of policy formation, let's fill it. If there's a vacuum of political education ditto.https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/the-left-the-party-and-the-class-1ca7b6a959e6 …

Remember when you said her brain was controlled by the Vatican, one of the filthiest anti-Catholic slurs and tropes. Get her name out of your mouth, you contemptible clown.

Paul will never apologise for this, just as he point blank refused to aplogise for using the word “spastic” over Whatsapp. Really going back years for his bigotry.
