We are at a turning point - all of humanity. We can crash into chaos and extinction - or we can co-create an entirely different future. An emergence from the complexity that is us.
Let's try it.

A thought: under McNicol regime in 2016, 10s of 1000s of LP members were suspended for ‘crimes’ - down to & including re-tweeting the Greens. So presumably all antisemitism was picked up & eradicated then - unless it wasn’t a priority and has just been ‘discovered’ now?

It was never intended to be fit for purpose. It was intended to do exactly what it has done - give the right a weapon to undermine Corbyn's supporters in the party. It's classic Bannon/Koch techniques - use the legal processes of an institution to destroy it from the inside.

If there’s a minimum Ambulance service… does that not mean the government has to provide that service - because it’s not happening now and that has nothing to do with the strikes.
