Exclusive: Liverpool’s Sam Gorst resigns from Your Party

Your Party executive (CEC) member Sam Gorst is well known for his 2023 thrashing of Labour in the Garston local elections, and for being elected to the CEC as an independent. But now he is an ex-CEC and Your Party (YP) member after resigning from both. The resignation comes in the wake of outrage from the CEC, after the suspension of three Your Party executive members for attending a socialist event — leading to a unanimous no-confidence vote in the officials held responsible. YP parliamentary leader Jeremy Corbyn then controversially rejected the vote. In a message to other CEC members shown…

Ditching donor dinners for dancefloors and putting the party into Green Party

Showing that political fundraising doesn’t have to be all fancy dinners and shady crypto-related windfalls, the Green Party is instead heading for the dancefloor. Green Space is taking its “party with purpose” model to Bristol this month, as the community and culture project builds what organisers describe as a repeatable, transparent and people-powered fundraising model for Green politics. The Bristol event, taking place at Sawmills on Sunday 26 July 2026, will be the fourth Green Space party in the series, following two events in London and one in Leeds. Putting the party into Green Party Together, the first three events have…

Exclusive: Your Party CEC votes no confidence but must ask leadership to respect vote

The Your Party executive committee (CEC) no-confidence vote exclusively revealed by Skwawkbox last week took place on Sunday. The specially-arranged CEC meeting, to hold no-confidence votes in three key officials, was fraught and lasted almost three-and-a-half hours. Yet it ended without a clear conclusion, forcing members to ask party leaders to respect a clear majority vote that just failed to reach the required threshold. The issue was a vote of no confidence in three figures blamed for the suspension of three well-known CEC members for attending a socialist conference. A number of members left the meeting rather than participate, but the…

Exclusive: Your Party CEC holding Sunday no-confidence vote in chair, secretary

As the Canary revealed exclusively on Tuesday, disgusted members of Your Party’s (YP) executive committee (CEC) called for a no-confidence vote in the CEC’s chair and secretary. The call came after their removal of three well-known CEC members for attending a socialist conference. Skwawkbox can now reveal that the motion received enough support to force a vote, which will be held online from 6pm this Sunday, 12 July 2026. Your Party — Majority support Skwawkbox understands that a clear majority of members have said they will support the no-confidence motion.

Leaked WhatsApps expose attempts to silence anti-Zionist voices by senior Green Party committee member

Leaked messages have exposed a senior member at the heart of the Green Party’s Disciplinary Committee using a Zionist WhatsApp group to potentially target anti-Zionist members. Green Party ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion At the centre of this is Rachel Collinson, a long-term Green Party member who just so happens to sit on the Disciplinary Committee. This is the same committee that dealt with the suspensions of anti-Zionist local election candidates like Mark Adderley and the expulsion of Jewish anti-Zionist scholar Tony Greenstein. The leaked WhatsApp messages appear to show Collinson organising against the motion Zionism Is Racism before the Green Party…

Geraldine Coggins from the Green Party comes out on top in mayoral hustings

The Manchester Evening News (MEN) hosted a hustings debate for the mayoral candidates in Greater Manchester, scoring the candidates on how well they commanded the room, how comfortable they were facing questions, and who presented strong arguments for their political parties. It also graded people on their ability to save face answering the toughest questions and exposed how some of the candidates are just not up to the task of being a political leader. With the Green Party’s Geraldine Coggins coming out on top, and the Reform candidate just behind her, it really does seem that the race will be between…

Green Party lays out its manifesto for Greater Manchester

The Green Party has announced its manifesto ahead of the upcoming mayoral election for Greater Manchester after Labour’s Andy Burnham stepped down to run for MP in Makerfield and will likely be the next PM. The party’s bold new manifesto aims to break from Burnham’s model, arguing it rewarded developers, priced ordinary people out of local homes, and funnelled investment into the city centre while leaving surrounding communities underfunded and chronically overlooked. Coggins announced her new plan for change in Hulme alongside party leader Zack Polanski, co-deputy Mothin Ali and Gorton and Denton MP Hannah Spencer, powerfully stating: We need real…

Communist Party USA says reds are among best Americans

Communist Party USA’s co-chair, Joe Sims has responded to recent comments from Donald Trump: Donald Trump’s back-to-back holiday weekend speeches at Mount Rushmore and the National Mall, where he said the Communist Party was composed of ‘illegal immigrants, criminals, and people who don’t want to work’, are taking on an increasingly fascist trajectory. That’s the standard authoritarian playbook. They always come for the communists and socialists first. Sims added: If Trump got this ‘intelligence’ from the FBI, Kash Patel needs to be fired immediately. What a bunch of garbage. He’s trying to criminalise us. We’re among the best Americans.

Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, Solma Ahmed and Mel Mullins were suspended for attending a socialist conference – even though Wimborne-Idrissi hadn’t attended.

Communist Party USA says Democrat candidates aren’t members

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) has condemned president Trump’s red‑baiting tirades against the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) primary victories in New York, the District of Columbia and Colorado. It called them a dangerous escalation of anti‑communist hysteria. Co-chair Rossana Cambron said: MAGA is going to lose the midterms and Trump’s getting desperate. Trump told the recent Faith & Freedom Coalition that communism is the “greatest threat” facing the United States in its 250-year history. He said: They’re animals! These ruthless Communists will attack all religions but, in particular, Christianity. The party’s co-chair, Joe Sims, responded: “Our enemy is not God,…

Reform accepted a £50,000 lobbying trip to Israel whilst telling voters they’re the party of change

The Israeli government spent over £50,000 trying to launder its image through Reform UK officials during a private tour last November. A senior party member quietly toured occupied Syrian territory and visited extremists’ police headquarters with a sanctioned far-right minister — a newly leaked financial trails reveal. This disgusting state-funded delegation completely shatters the party’s anti-establishment myth before it’s even gotten off the ground. Spinning a lobbying web This pricey trip is not an isolated incident. The Israeli state is hedging its bets and aggressively courting Reform UK as it surges in public opinion polls. Leaked data bills the trip to…

Four new by-election wins boost Green Party momentum in London

The Green Party continued its winning streak in London on 25 June with four by-election wins. Green party candidates won in Dalston, Hackney Central, North Acton, and Woodside. Although the party had already taken many of these seats in May, the new by-election wins show its momentum in parts of the capital remains strong. Green party performance in Dalston and Hackney Central Hackney saw perhaps the biggest Green wave in the 2026 local elections. There had been strong collaboration between Greens and local independent socialists. And there was a massive swing away from Labour, particularly in working-class areas. The Hackney ward…

Only the Green Party has responded to a Makerfield public ownership pledge launched today, explaining which local public services they would take back if elected. Andy Burnham has not clarified his position, despite his critique of privatisation in recent weeks. Campaign group We Own It asked the six main Makerfield candidates for their positions on public ownership of water, energy and buses, as well as a local BlackRock deal with Greater Manchester Pension Fund to buy up GP surgeries. Nearly 10,000 emails have been sent to the candidates over the weekend to put pressure on them to reveal their policies. This…

Green Party calls out Streeting’s ‘illiterate’ energy plan

The Labour politicians looking to replace Keir Starmer have been talking about expanding drilling in the North Sea: among said politicians is Wes Streeting. In response, Green Party deputy Rachel Millward has described his plan as “environmentally reckless and economically illiterate”. Reckless Streeting As we reported, Streeting said the following about drilling in the North Sea: Yes. I think that’s probably where Ed [Miliband] will get to. When he makes a decision, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the case. The granting of those licences will not necessarily translate into cheaper bills, but it will translate into higher tax receipts The…

The Labour right and their friends in the media are constantly urging the party to become more regressive to appeal to Reform voters. As we’ve reported in the past, though, Labour actually lost four times as many voters to parties on its left. And now, we have a clearer picture of what pushed them in that direction.   EXCLUSIVE: More than half of former Labour voters who intent to back a centre or leftwing party in the next general election have cited the government's record on Gaza as a reason for abandoning Labour, new polling shows. — Harriet Williamson (@harriepw) June…

The West Midlands couple, identified as Farrukh and Salma, saw their car reduced to smoking wreckage by the attack. Ali called for West Midlands Police to treat the matter seriously. He condemned the anti-Muslim speech of Reform and other politicians and for everyone to work together to create an “island of belonging” instead of inciting hate and division: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Green Party of England &…

Ex-Your Party activists form new Socialist Federation

250 delegates representing Your Party branches and former branches across England, Scotland and Wales met in an online conference on 31 May and launched the Socialist Federation. Delegates included representatives of groups in London, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Coventry, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Essex, North Devon, Dundee, Newcastle and Cumbria. Attendees said they’d comprehensively lost patience with Jeremy Corbyn and his close-knit entourage, who failed to build on the promise of the mass signups to a new party initiative in summer 2025. And the assembled members and ex members of Your Party agreed to create an initial federal organisation with the aim of…
