I don't know if anyone has shared this already since it has been in the works for a couple of months now and they still do not plan to become a thing until May, but anyway.

The Socialist Party (formerly known as Militant) must be feeling pretty vindicated right now since Socialist Appeal has finally migrated away from entry-ism after being forcefully expelled from the Labour party (again).

I wish them luck, but I wish TUSC was still around. They built up a pretty big movement before pivoting around Corbyn and willingly stepping aside from all UK elections for a couple of years. I don't know where their organisers are now, I haven't seen them around in a while and presume they have mostly moved on to other things.

Socialist Appeal are not bad, and I enjoyed going to their annual Revolution festival in London. It is a shame that they come from the British Trot school of refusing to acknowledge anything good that Stalin did ever in 30 years of power in the USSR but probably the best we are gonna get.

If you live in the UK and you don't do so already, it is worth supporting the orgs that are providing us with independent news, whether it is Socialist Appeal, The Socialist, The Morning Star (the CPB newspaper not the financial website) or Novarra Media. There are worse places to spend your money.
