It’s exciting, joining a new party! Over 100 people gathered at St Bride’s last Saturday to launch YourParty.uk in Edinburgh, and while I spotted many old faces from “The Left”, the most encouraging thing was the sheer number of younger people. I hadn’t seen many young faces in recent leftwing meetings, so it was good to find so many, smiling and unflappable in the face of hostility from the rightwing press.
