Happy New Year to all of our members both new and old. 2020 was a very difficult year for a lot of people, but was a good one for the party as a whole.

Let’s hope that this year brings us much better and happier times as we continue to watch our party grow and succeed in all we really want.

Membership of our party has grown quickly over the past few weeks and we extend our welcome to all who have joined.

There never has been a more crucial time to join us in our fight. Activists are the lifeblood of any movement and we encourage new members to …

Brexit Statement.

 
When she took office, Theresa May claimed that “To deliver Brexit, you must believe in Brexit.” She doesn’t, so she hasn’t.
