A rent freeze would be a big win for private renters. Our collective power has put this on the table. But it has to work between tenancies and we need long-term rent controls to ensure landlords don't hike rents sharply for new tenants or after a freeze ends - like in Scotland.

Fantastic result, with the pro Labour Party (and pro boss) wing ‘Members United’ trounced. Now to transform the union into a fighting, militant one. Roll on the Rules conference — let’s disaffiliate from the rotten Labour Party.

"Housing is a right, it's not an asset to be used and traded on the stock exchange" The far right offer no solutions to the problems faced by working class people; only radical, socialist answers to the housing crisis will address the material concerns of working class people.

Trump said today: ‘In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British.’ Complete bullshit. Throughout the 19thC Britain & the US competed over the domination of first North & then South America. The Palmerston govt … 1/

So how did a 'Communist Monarchy' arise in North Korea? Christianity, never mind Stalinism, appears to have played a role in influencing Kim I (aka Kim Il Sung) according to a new book - the Kims are clearly saints. Christianity doesn't get near enough the bad press it deserves.

But Your Party is not dead no matter how much fellow Trots and others claim it so. We were a minority so (most) of us leaving didn't tip it. It's standing candidates in May but also endorsing many more. And that's not a one-way street; Indies in east London happy to acknowledge

OK. But the business rates collected in Tower Hamlets, especially from Canary Wharf (and in Westminster, Camden and City of London) dwarf those in e.g Redbridge or Lewisham. The Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel in Tower Hamlets pay £9M+ p.a. Councils keep half of business rates

Disabled people who use blue badges to go about their daily lives have said they are being harassed, questioned and even assaulted, as anti-benefits rhetoric becomes more mainstream in the UK. theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

It's a clearly wrong claim by fellow Grassroots Left supporters that Your Party is 'dead'. I don't even know if they have undertaken large-scale expulsions of those on the banned list (although many such will have left). The exodus & new rules make work there not possible, though

Forget 'faith & community leaders'. Who elected a cleric or other self-appointed 'community leader'? Talk to people directly or to those they elect, e.g. cllrs. Not worthies. Whites don't have to put up with e.g vicars speaking for them with councils. Why should other races?

Newham Independents 💛 Mehmood Mirza Areeq Chowdhury Cllr Sophia Naqvi This is real gutter stuff from Newham Independents. Straight out of the Murdoch press. Why don’t you engage with the actual policy/issue and the view that drug addiction is a public health issue? What a disappointment.

Your Party supported Newham Independents go Reform (or Labour) with reactionary (& nonsense) attack on Greens candidate for Mayor, Areeq Chowdhury. They also go big on cutting Council Tax. Reporting has Greens winning. I reckon Indies (lots of street presence) or Labour will win.

Completely predictable abuse by Zionists leveraging the vile A/S stabbings to push Starmer into more anti Palestinian action (right now). He has no backbone. And muddies the facts. "2 Jewish men were killed in a vile Islamist attack on their synagogue" Yes, but cops killed 1.

Main message from Redbridge Indies (very similar to Newham Indies & Your Party endorsed) is simply 'we want change!' If ever do politics it's not Labour Redbridge grim council house building record or candidates allegedly using fake names but Tory-like 'we're the finance experts'

The interview that Wes Streeting called 'nauseating'. Of course its not. Why don't him & Starmer act even a bit like Spanish & Italian PMs in standing up to the Zionists who ruthlessly exploit any example of violent A/S, like the stabbings, to promote the violent Israeli state?

Newham Independents removed the post. I have just a partial screenshot.

Westminster is weaponising the abhorrent stabbing of two Jewish Londoners. Attempts to take away our civil liberties and repress the pro-Palestine movement have nothing to do with rooting out antisemitism. Statement 🔽

open.substack.com/pub/davehillon… Newham Greens & other council candidates accused of not providing adequate or false address info. Separately, a Your Party member, @AndyWalker1945, standing in Redbridge accuses some Labour candidates of using false names for better place on ballot paper

So London Mayday is on, er 4 May. I don't recall this before (much) Will I have to march on my own tomorrow - 1 May, Mayday - from Clerkenwell Green to Trafalgar Square? And so miss some characters e.g. bloke carrying large, framed portrait of Chairman Mao londonmayday.org

Excellent by Curtis Silwa, Republican candidate for NYC Mayor on Charles Windsor & co: Biggest welfare parasites in world, give back the stolen riches to India, etc & why the hell did US give gala welcome to them? I hope Americans know a substantial minority of Brits think same.
