    Tom Williams Retweeted Barrie Margetts

    My take on Momentum, should anyone want it: Momentum emerged almost by accident (I remember @maxshanly saying on @allthebestcast that he drew the democratic model on a napkin while @schneiderhome was eating a burger) and immediately faced unrelenting hostility.https://twitter.com/CllrBazMargetts/status/1266007834115952640 …

    Tom Williams added,

    Barrie Margetts @CllrBazMargetts
    As a socialist councillor, I think Momentum needs to be a place where the leaders of tomorrow-not just today, or yesterday-find their voices.@ForwardMmtm is about finding those leaders. The best is yet to come-and I say this as an old duffer! https://twitter.com/ronanburtenshaw/status/1265962462194606082 …

        There was also the attempted takeover, which would have been a disaster had it succeeded. Given the situation this nascent organisation found itself in, it’s understandable (if not particularly creditable) that Lansman et al closed ranks.

        I defended that more passionately than most at the time. What I don’t want to defend is a continued reliance on such a small pool of comrades- some of whom have undeniably made damaging mistakes- when there’s now a much bigger pool of talented organisers and organic leaders.

        it’s great if candidates have a track record, but there are loads of structural barriers to political participation, so it’s unfair to slate those who don’t. Also, at least one NCG candidate has imo done a pretty poor job of defending a questionable record On Here today.

        Let’s commend comrades’ excellent work and hold them to account for mistakes. And let’s stop mistaking opponents for enemies and behave in a way that doesn’t undermine mutual trust.

        And for fuck’s sake, you don’t join the labour movement to keep your gob shut. One of the healthier aspects of the left is that if there are ten comrades in a room there might be eleven opinions. No comrade should be asked to tug their forelock in left spaces.

        It was actually a reciept and was only a proposal. The model was only partially adopted. For a five minute piece of work though I don't think it was too bad.pic.twitter.com/96L1HJJKbf
