Facebook just yeeted the Socialist Workers Party in the UK

For any non-Brits, the SWP is the main left of Labour party in Britain. It’s like them banning the Green Party in the states. They had millions of followers.

Facebook took the action on Friday, shutting down the Socialist Workers Party page and removing dozens of leading SWP activists from the platform.

The SWP Facebook page regularly posts in support of Palestine, Black Lives Matter and against Boris Johnson’s Covid policies. It also hosts dozens of online events every week that activists across the country take part in.
