Left-wingers will be uniting at the end of September to livestream Your Show as an alternative to the likely shitshow of the Labour Party’s 2025 conference. You’ll be able to see “over 20 items” of news and analysis with “a star lineup of guests and presenters to discuss all the things that matter to you”. And the Canary’s very own Skwawkbox will be right at the centre.
Starmer’s on another planet
Labour thinks, for some strange reason, that it’s still welcome in Liverpool.
The city used to be a Labour stronghold, of course, but Keir Starmer and his corporate cronies have successfully turned traditionally ultra-safe seats into marginal ones. It’s done this not only by dangerously courting the far right, but by prioritising genocide and arms-trade profits (i.e. billionaire interests) over ordinary people.
Liverpool is now one of the places where left-wingers are organising some of the strongest resistance to Labour.
Your Show vs Labour conference
The show will have “a professional broadcast studio, equipment and tech staff for its two to three day run”. And guests and presenters will include comedians Alexei Sayle and Tadgh Hickey, Merseyside Pensioners Association’s Audrey White, Electronic Intifada journalist Asa Winstanley, Crispin Flintoff, Kernow Damo, Jewish Voice for Labour, transport union TSSA’s Bonnie Craven, bakers’ union (BFAWU) leader Ian Hodson, ex-MP Chris Williamson, ex-ambassador Craig Murray, Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, ‘The Fraud’ author Paul Holden, and Skwawkbox, along with scholar and political activist Yassamine Mather, journalist Tina Werkman, NHS campaigner Dr Bob Gill, and NHS experts Rathi Guhadasan and Nico Csergo,
There will be discussions about Starmer’s silencing of left-wing Jewish people, about Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and about the Your Party project to build a new mass party on the left. There’ll also be films and music.
In other words, there’s an alternative! You don’t just have to watch Labour’s soulless march into oblivion in real time. You can tune in and hear about the fight-back.
You’ll be able to find the links to the livestream on YouTube, Rumble, and Facebook here, between 12pm and 9pm on 29 and 30 September.
