For the record we’re not registered with the electoral commission 😅
We want #YourParty to be the insurgent, left force it needs to be.
We think Your Party should stand grassroots candidates across the country - and we will support them

Yesterday saw another strong day of action at Imperial, with members and students standing shoulder to shoulder with @unitetheunion and @unisontheunion.
Today is the final day of this week’s strikes.
Show your support for colleagues and students fighting for education!

We revealed Nigel Farage’s voting record to his constituents in Clacton.
They weren’t happy.

Here's a question to all Universities creating so-called "Free Speech Policies" that require permission for protests to be announced in advance.
Would you ban the Turner Prize Award Ceremony?
Looking at you @UoLondon @SOAS @unibirmingham

Shame on @UoLondon @SOAS taking their students to court for exercising their democratic right to protest against genocide. They are subjecting students to expensive and stressful legal proceedings. You can read the legal papers here: london.ac.uk/about/estate/en…

BREAKING: fascist #TommyRobinson has announced he is being remanded in custody.
No doubt his far right supporters will use this to whip themselves into a frenzy and spread their racism, islamophobia and hate at tomorrow’s march.
We’re calling on everyone to join our counter protest tomorrow. Let’s show we’re united against the far right
🗓️ Sat 26 Oct
📍 11.30am Piccadilly Circus
