The long road to April 4th

The long road to April 4th. I have been Branch Secretary of my local Labour Party for over a year now . I am disability officer for my local CLP and an executive member of the Socialist society Dissability Labour . During that time I have learnt of the highways and byways and of the shadow and the id of the Welsh Labour Party, of my branch and of the CLP. Despite all of these experiences and because of I feel that after the tears and years of political wandering I have come home. I have an enduring respect and affection for Jeremy Corbyn for his socialism support for animal rights and his insistence that the elected members of the Labour Party are answerable and accountable to its membership. Corbyns principled stand has built a mass party that is still growing and developing. The essential point is that we must insist on and defend the proud socialist tradition of the party. Within the local branch we have accessed and recruited activists that would not have been drawn in by vanilla politics or leaders prior to September 2015. The most hard-working activist I know told the Labour candidate in 2015 in the constituency where to go . During the by election and general election of last year the same activist worked ceaselessly delivering and knocking on doors. Another young activist though thousands of miles away also drawn in by Corbyn worked online and on social media illustrates why we should avoid the vanilla centrist sierens that led to the famous abstaining on benefit cuts vote of 2015 and the acceptance of austerity lite outlook of post 2010. We are now and will always be now anti austerity and socialist. We cannot and will not return to the substrate that are the former advisors and centrists that surround Keir Starmer Labour has changed and we must remember that Labour losses in 2019 occurred in areas left behind by the same substrate nearly 40 years ago. For Labour to rebuild it must embed itself into the community and to be in the forefront empowering people who are left behind. It must give respect and confidence to the communities it represents rather than consider themselves worthy if respect. The role of elected Labour representatives are to be educators and empowerers informing and leading without ego or self importance. The community calls out for help and we must answer that call. The Welsh Labour Party and the Scottish Party must become separate parties representing the self determination and nationhood of their respective counties.

All CLPs must accept all member meetings and mandatory re selection as a matter of course we are unreservedly a Socialist Party that must shift power away from the centralised and dying British state. We must radically reform the constitution and take on the establishment . It's not Corbynism we want but socialism. Corbyn restored our honour, faith and philisophy making it possible. Now we must continue it's process and it's aims . We must evolve a clear path to Eco socialism that is decentralised and people centred. It must respect the people of Wales and Scotland and of their nationhood and culture. Thank you Jeremy for being a signpost you gave my eternal respect...I will vote for Rebecca Long Bailey as a feminist socialist as the next stage and development in democratic socialism. We must turn away from the soft seduction of male vanilla centralists who are as ambitious as Lucifer and as cold as a Lizard. It's RLB and Angela Rayner for me. We need another deputy leader and I would support either Dawn Butler or Ian Laveary for that role. It's Socialism for me always has been.
