Branch Meeting

The SWP is a party of activists who know that we need to understand the world to be effective in our actions. Our meetings have a discussion about key issues: economic, political, historical and cultural; as well as planning for events and activities.

This month, in the wake of Brexit - what does it mean for British capitalism?

Thursday 7th September

7 pm

West End Community Centre on Mackworth Road (next to Britannia Mill).

Jeremy Corbyn rally in Nottingham

The Labour Party leadership contest is set to become even more bitter. While ballot papers are being sent out many longstanding labour party members are being suspended and so prevented from voting. BFAWU bakers union general secretary Ronnie Draper was suspended last week. He has been a labour party member for 40 years. See the SW article here. Others have been suspended for inappropriate postings on facebook and social media. The claim that such decisions have been made by the NEC is a joke given it has not met since last month! Ronnie is an outspoken supporter of Jeremy Corbyn. John McDonnell has rightly said this “appears to be a rigged purge of Jeremy Corbyn supporters.”

As Ronnie Draper says – the suspension will not stop him campaigning.  This is crucial. The best way to defend Corbyn and beat the Labour right is to mobilise on the streets and in the workplace. As the infighting in Labour deepens the Tories are on the attack.

Support Jeremy - he is speaking at Nottingham's Forest Recreation ground at 6.30 pm on Wednesday 7th September!
