Though Your Party could still win a few seats in Muslim heavy areas like Birmingham, Dewsbury, Leicester and Blackburn the Independent Alliance won seats in 2024 plus maybe in Bradford and Slough and Luton and Newham and Tower Hamlets

GPEW 170k members. 100k of them new to the party. Are there really that many Corbynites?
And tbh, I’d say we have loads of small c conservatives looking for a home too. Water company and rail nationalisation, looking after the environment. Party of small sustainable business. Keeping the NHS. It’s their kind of thing.
Meetings are getting quite interesting.
“Polanski worked with the theatre company DifferencENGINE as an immersive theatre actor…”
😂 There will be some hilarious video to emerge for the election of him pretending to be a tree or something.
I’m very keen to calm down the rhetoric in meetings. I got into a bit of a barney about flags being okay last week. My view is that we are never going to undermine Farage by forcing his supporters to circle the wagons.
The Conservative Party is gone. Labour are our main source of members and votes, but I’m arguing for a secondary target, the small ‘c’s.

@HYUFD I agree with what you have just said there wholeheartedly. Don't disagree with a single word of it. Unfortunately this was not the point you were making in the first place when I pointed out that places like Guildford, Woking and Camberley were not full of posh people. The towns are not particularly posh. The countryside around is a lot posher.
Just by complete chance I was just sent the following link. As you will see I could have written it with Sheerwater and places in Guildford getting particularly reference for their deprivation. Remember I mentioned Sheerwater and you claimed it not to be deprived because of house prices?
Edit - Ah, in a separate comment.
US tells Nato if Zelenskyy does not sign peace deal Ukraine will face worse in future
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/22/ukraine-zelenskyy-peace-deal-us-nato-meeting
American is now actively threatening Ukraine in an attempt to force them to accept, at extraordinarily short notice a deal which would see them
abandon a fortified front line;
officially hand over territory to an illegal invader; cut their armed forces;
restrict their legal right to defend themselves against future aggression;
limit their sovereignty to make alliances;
require them to rewrite their constitution;
refuse the rest of Europe the right to station forces in their soil;
indemnify Russia against any and all the war crimes it has committed - including the killing of tens of thousands of civilians;
pay future monetary tribute to the US;
In return for zero concessions from Russia.
This is madness.
..The announcement of the US plans earlier this week blindsided other Ukraine allies, who had been kept in the dark over the content and format of the plan. There is concern in Europe that Russia has had too much say in negotiating a draft agreement, which is being presented to the Ukrainians as a done deal.
Driscoll defended this, saying it kept the process more manageable. “President Trump wants peace now. The more cooks in the kitchen, the harder it is to handle,” he said, according to the source present.
Julie Davis, the US chargée d’affaires in Kyiv, was also present at the meeting and told the other diplomats that although the terms of the deal were punishing for Ukraine, it had little choice but to accept or face worse in future. “The deal does not get better from here, it gets worse,” she said.
Trump is keen for Zelenskyy to agree to the deal by Thanksgiving, which is on Thursday..
These are not serious people, but this is extremely serious, possibly existential for our future.
Some sort of blackmail, perhaps? National or personal.
What's very clear is that the US is trying to force a capitulation, in the space of a week, which would see Europe, at best, in a state of cold war, with all the costs that entails, for the foreseeable future.
At worst, it sets the conditions for another invasion at far worse odds for Europe than exist now.
(It's not one of his best, but I did like the cat part.)
Sky reporting Starmer is 'whack a mole' European leaders in trying to stop them rebelling
If so he is as bad as Trump and should be ashamed

That means Starmer, Macron, Merz and most of all Tusk.
“The prime minister said on Saturday that there was "more to do on the plan" in the coming days and the focus now was to try to make progress in Geneva.
He said he would speak to President Zelenskyy later on Saturday as allies try to swing this deal more in Ukraine's favour, with the UK and other international leaders clear on their concerns to limit the size of the Ukrainian army and give up territory to Russia.
But in his remarks on camera, the prime minister was at pains to neither criticise the current deal nor President Trump.
…
One figure told me that the PM wants to act as a bridge between the Europeans and the US and has been playing a "game of whack-a-mole" over the past couple of days in an effort to keep others from publicly saying the deal is unacceptable for fear it would only serve to irritate President Trump and hurt Ukraine.
The prime minister has yet to talk to the US president about the plan, but says he will talk to him in the coming days.
"I'm absolutely clear in my mind that President Trump wants a just and lasting peace, not just from the actions he's taken towards that end, but also from the private discussions that I've had with him," Starmer said.
"So I know what he's trying to achieve. We all want to achieve that."
But there will be a question about what the alternative options are if allies cannot improve this deal by President Trump's Thursday deadline. “
NATO is currently dead on its arse. Trump has undermined it whilst Rutte seems like a rabbit in the headlights.
Even then, it's likely that quite a lot of intelligence on Ukraine is going directly to Moscow, via the US government.
“We believe therefore that the draft is a basis which will require additional work. We are ready to engage in order to ensure that a future peace is sustainable. We are clear on the principle that borders must not be changed by force. We are also concerned by the proposed limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces, which would leave Ukraine vulnerable to future attack.
“We reiterate that the implementation of elements relating to the European Union and relating to Nato would need the consent of EU and Nato members respectively.
“We take this opportunity to underline the strength of our continued support to Ukraine. We will continue to co-ordinate closely with Ukraine and the US over the coming days.”
The statement was signed by the leaders of Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Norway, as well as Britain. Ursula von der Leyen and Alberto Costa, the presidents of the European Commission and European Council, also signed the statement.

I don't think using Ukraine as a party political point scoring exercise is acceptable.
But I'm probably too late. The hare is running - #scumbagstarmer is trending on PB.
The EU and NATO cannot stop Russia but Poland and Germany can.
Here's the full interview, you should be ashamed that you used that quote without her following words.
From 1min 40 secs onwards, PBers can see for themselves.

Halfway round the world, truth still lacing up its plimsolls.
“No,” he replies, suggesting some willingness to negotiate ahead of Geneva meetings tomorrow

But relying on EU or NATO approval means that the likes of Trump and Orban would be given a veto.
Which is very handy for those countries which are happy to do nothing.
