I've heard the same thing more or less from one of my own 'usually reliable sources' who told me that the Brarites were subsuming all their efforts into this new Galloway front. Apparently anyone who joins in an area where there's no existing "Workers' Party" organisation can be made up to Branch Secretary on the spot. Is this really true?

If so it's a golden opportunity for Steven Johnson. They let any old rubbish in and as no one knows his real name or indeed what he looks like he should have no problems in becoming a SPGB fifth column within their ranks to fire endless pointless questions at a barely moving target. It certainly is one way to while away the days waiting for the lockdown to end.

pip,pip
