'The center of power, moral and institutional, might be changing. And those who right now seem above accountability might someday have to face it.' My interview with @OborneTweets about his explosive new book on Britain's complicity in the Gaza genocide: https://t.co/47NfhIy8Ay

It's been a while since I've published anything, except on Twitter. This is about how the new left party won't learn any useful lessons from Corbynism if it gets its history all wrong and misidentifies the villains. In more than 280 characters. https://t.co/zO4ZFD1ilG

What @zarahsultana says here – that Labour shouldn't have caved to the pressure around IHRA in 2018 – is hardly a controversial position on the left. Nor is it an attack on Corbyn; it is a defence of his principled stance, against those who ultimately succeeded in undermining it.

The new left party must be different: member-led, shaped by the people it serves, honouring and learning from the past, and building the future. I spoke to @oliver_eagleton and the @NewLeftReview: https://t.co/DOyZ97kmHo

A quick explainer on some of the new party's unresolved strategic debates, which have so far been taking place among a closed circle, but are (hopefully) soon to be hashed out in a democratic forum: https://t.co/azrd7FS2op
