It's true I was a bit disappointed in the arm wavy statement she made on that motion, but to the best of my knowledge she supports the concrete actions of BDS and ending weapons sales, so no, I don't see her as likely to repeat Labour history.

I'm 'open' to never voting for a Blairite, centrist, all talk but no action politician EVER AGAIN. One of the things I really like about the post-Lucas @greenparty.org.uk is that they set out REAL POLICIES like taxing the super rich.

That 'trade' saw at least 15 million Africans forcibly trafficked to the Western Hemisphere with many thousands losing their lives during the crossing from Africa to the Americas on British Ships.

A great deal of the wealth of the United Kingdom was founded on this vile crime against humanity, and the legacies of chattel, colonial and neocolonial forms of enslavement are still prevalent in our society today.
