Very bad review!
These will both be great
Does anyone know how I could get hold of Unite's 2011 document Political Strategy?

Very similar to the “crisis of expectations” thesis that was popular on the left in the early days of the Blair Govt. Obviously came to nothing. But this time around the economic forecasts are a lot gloomier…

Some interesting gossip here about the state of the Labour Left today, and fun to see the 'Sealed Tomb' line everywhere at the minute. Struck to see Dan Carden has reportedly left the SCG, anyone know why? Seems like a lifetime ago he was trumpeted as future of the left.

Labour just lost 10 of 14 seats they were contesting here… Something extraordinarily strange is happening. Then there’s the fact Labour is struggling to find candidates for many places while polling massive majorities for Westminster….

Get weird with us.It has arrived, and it is a thing of beauty. A couple of years back, I had the pleasure of interviewing Anne Scargill and Betty Cook, two of my heroes. In this piece, I have been able to share some of that (2-hour!) meeting - as well as several other interviews.
There’s actually no chance this would happen because Powell’s opinion that the SAS soldiers who killed suspected IRA militants in Gibraltar should be tried in British courts for murder would have got him expelled from Labour
It's a big tent and you're not in it
Great to see the new issue of @tribunemagazine has arrived. The first of my two pieces: an interview with @SeumasMilne on his revelatory 1994 book 'The Enemy Within: The Secret War Against the Miners' (@VersoBooks), Britain's media & security state, & the strike's legacies today.
Our latest print issue is here! Ft. Arthur Scargill, David Peace and more on the miners' strike. I have a long read on how South Asian solidarity sustained the strike featuring exclusive interviews with those who were on the frontline.

Socialist History Seminars May/June 24. Socialist Magazines of the 1980s kmflett.wordpress.com/2024/05/07/soc…
Will you be joining us for tomorrow's online seminar on the history of the Labour Left? Registration will close 24hrs ahead of tomorrow's 5.30pm seminar.
5.30pm on Wed May 8th: online seminar @AlfieSteer will be presenting a new take on the Labour Party between the 1980s and 2010s - not as a history of the modernisers but looking instead at how the Left survived and escaped its 'sealed tomb'. Book now: history.ac.uk/events/escapin…
So I finally got feedback on my rejected PhD application from a few months ago, which for context was 8487 words and 41 pages long. Wanna guess how much they sent me in reply? ... ... 2 sentences. 2. Fucking. Sentences. And they aren't even especially clear feedback either
@contbrithist @ihr_history @ProfLRobinson @stephenjbrooke @alix_green @gcgosling @AlfieSteer @DrSharonThomp @lottelydia @teadevotee @caitbeaumont @TomHulme87 Excellent range of seminars for the spring/summer term. Looking forward to the Sealed Tomb this week - I guess at least in part in depends on definition of the ‘Left’ and whether lack of role today is a reaction to the escape from the tomb…… Good luck with it @AlfieSteer
Also, if I were a newspaper columnist I wouldn't raise the question of who is of use to society.
Well I think this PhD topic sounds fascinating
#OnThisDay 1984. General secretary of the NUM, Peter Heathfield, says the union will investigate claims that soldiers have been spotted wearing police uniforms on picket lines. Heathfield made the comments at a rally in Sunderland.
‘Bernard Hill's Yosser is an icon of Thatcherite Britain - a symbol of this city's willingness to battle in the face of adversity. What a role, what a performance, what an actor. He will be sorely missed’ A fine tribute from @DanHaygarth1 liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…
6 years since the best scrum in the world. Okay, 6 years since the best scrum in the RFU Senior Vase. Alright, 6 years since the best scrum in the second half of the 2018 RFU Senior Vase final.
Is he trying to make all the historians of the Labour Party die laughing?
I'm really not a fan of Watson, but I like how the non-communist Left in Britain has finally found the courage to criticise commies. For too long, it used to be an unwritten rule that if you're on the Left, you don't criticise people who are further to the Left.
What an icon. RIP yosser
