This whole thread is well worth engaging with.
@AyeishaTS @francesnorthrop @KeirMilburn @NEF @DemocracyCollab Our politics cannot be a matter of dispensing the future from on high, no matter how pure we think our motives are, how clear our vision: we're in the business of creating spaces where democratic collectives can come together to shape their shared future.

@soiledballot69 @jemgilbert I back Sultana and would vote for her as leader over Corbyn, but it just is true that 32 is an unusually young age to be taking such a central role

Can confirm this is a very useful conceptual foothold, that helps makes sense of political-social dynamics (and therefore also strategy)

Depressing, if not entirely surprising. Jamie Driscoll has always been impressive, both in his elected roles and thoughtfulness about politics. The way the YP founding process has squandered energy and good will is criminal.

Whole thread worth reading:
@jemgilbert Driscoll has a track record of running decent public services. Feinstein is intelligent, charismatic & principled. Outside politics, their talent would be snapped up, unfortunately… 1/n

One way of understanding the entire Your Party thing is as a generational conflict between boomers who won't let go, a Millennial / Zoomer who's too young, and a group of middle aged leftists (Feinstein, Driscoll, Winter) who would make superb leaders if anyone would let them.

Oh look, they’re going to try keeping on with exactly the same thing and see if it gets a different result this time.

The latest row over Zahra Sultana trying to differentiate YP from Greens...Such differentiation will fail if it's only made at the level of abstract ideology. If there is a basis for it, it's with reference to the actual political traditions that the parties represent, isn't it?

The more important statistic is that based on votes cast and what limited information is available, Labour membership is still falling fast. Nobody is saying Labour is healthy. But 'OMG 16% Labour is DEEAD' just misunderstands the actual situation.

The 16% turnout of Labour members in the deputy leadership election wasn't 16% of individual members. It was probably closer to 50% of individual members and a tiny proportion of affiliated members. The union that usually turns out most affiliated members didn't back a candidate.
@SamBarnesNS @DisabilityLab @SocialistHealth @labourunionsuk @unitetheunion @unisontheunion @ASLEFunion @fbunational @TSSAunion @SocialistEdu @LucyMPowell @ESEA4Labour @SocLabLaw @JewishLabour @bphillipsonMP @LabourList @YouGov @FindoutnowUK @X @UKLabour @EthanCroft98 @UnitePolitics @iainjwatson @jessicaelgot @HarrietHarman @tom_watson @AngelaRayner 439. Deputy Leader update. Some have suggested a 52% memb t/o & 4% TU t/o which is poss but does create big disparity in comparative t/o. I will b looking more at TU vote 2 c if cd have happened? 2 b cautious at the mo it does look like Memb t/o was 45%-52% & TU t/o was 4%-6%

I was just thinking yesterday it was time to start thinking about high literary theory again.
Frederic Jameson said that the fascination of modernism with "deep time", as in Bergson or Proust, derived from the unevenness of the modern world, the coexistence of slower, rural time with the fast pace of the metropoles and industrialization.

@lewis_goodall 1. Electorate was 970,642 and comprised Lab's likely 270-280k membs and up to 700k affiliated TU political levy payers. Turnout may have been 50% in one & 7% in other. Labour's electorate was in the end bigger than any rising new party or their mailing lists

@jemgilbert Plaid Cymru have tradition though, as SNP in Scotland have. Sooner secessionists than fascists. I don’t know that it’s going to work in the north of England and in the shires. Lib Dems more likely in the shires, but can you see Greens or Your Party win in the northern towns!
