How f***ed are we if Trump wins? + Is Jeremy Corbyn MP forming a new party?

It doesn't sound terribly democratic. It sounds like a sort of aristocratic entitlement.

Let's check the collected works on that and see where it comes out. What it's about is alternative political voices around the country. I stood as an independent and I stood on the issues that we've talked about and put them in both an election address and I produced a manifesto for my own constituency, online version of it. Others stood as independents.

My good friend Andrew Feinstein, for example, stood in a neighboring constituency. And we didn't really liaise very much before the election on what we're going to say, but we ended up saying roughly the same thing about housing. social justice, wages, full employment, and environment and sustainability.

And then in many other parts of the countries, independents were saying roughly that, such as Faisal Shaheen in Chingford, and the campaigns that were run by those that were successful, in Ilford. And so after the election, I thought it was important that we come together. And there was a discussion which was reported in rather exaggerated form in the Guardian after it happened.

But it is about voices coming together. But I don't want to see some sort of top-down political party formed. I think what's more important is grassroots democracy. And grassroots democracy means that you form local forums where people come along and express their views, some of which will agree with each other, some might not. But those forums are going to deal with local issues.

And we've held the first in my constituency last month. Now, that sort of thing is happening all over. I'm very confident that over the next few months, a lot of groups are going to come together from all over the country and an alternative voice will increasingly be heard, I hope, in a very unified kind of way.

So the politics of the future have got to be on demand for social justice, but it's got to be based in communities of the grassroots. I think we've had enough of manipulative politics of centralised parties.

or political force. There's a lot of areas it could go into. That, I would hope, is where we end up with a sort of a voice around the country offering a political alternative. Because if you look at the economics of what's happening now in Britain, in most European countries, and to some extent in the USA, are levels of austerity, though nobody uses the word austerity anymore.

But in reality, it is about cutting public spending. It is about not increasing taxation on the very richest. It's about not tackling the grotesque levels of economic inequality within our society, some of which were products of profiteering during COVID. And I think there needs to be a voice that comes together. So I'm also working with various left groupings across Europe.
