Next Wednesday, Andrew Feinstein and I are joining Paul Holden in talking about, The Fraud, his book that details how McSweeny & co captured the Labour Party. Tickets from £2.

Any government that wants to end the cost of living crisis will come into conflict with very rich people. But it’s easier to get things done that public discourse would have us believe. My latest article. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...
Majority leader @jamiedriscoll.bsky.social has joined the @greenparty.org.uk.
We’re a pluralist progressive movement developing the confident, competent, compassionate leaders of the future. All progressives must combine to stop Farage and his big money cronies trashing our communities ✊🏼
MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA Majority is a movement with plurality at its heart. We welcome members from across the progressive political spectrum who share our mission and commit to our standards of behaviour. 1. Mission Membership is contingent upon a commitment to our mission statement and political values statement. Actions which are deemed in contradiction to these statements may result in suspension and/or termination of membership. 2. Behaviour Membership is contingent upon a commitment to our standards of behaviour. Actions which are deemed in contradiction to these standards may result in suspension and/or termination of membership.
3. Political Affiliations Majority is a non-exclusive movement that welcomes independents as well as those from other political parties that align with our political values statement. To be clear, you can join Majority and still retain membership of a political party. However, while we recognise that political parties can harbour a wide range of views, applicants to Majority who are members of parties or organisations that stand in contradiction to our political values statement will require their membership application to be adjudicated. 4. Membership Acceptance Majority will accept all membership applications in good faith. Should it come to light that a member has not been truthful when applying, this may result in suspension and/or termination of membership.
Hi Oliver, hopefully this helps clarify.

"Progressive policies are popular and urgently needed. But as Jamie Driscoll says, “we must guard against shoppinglistism.”
