In a moment in which the UK is being dragged toward fascism by both the far right and the two biggest Westminster parties and is colluding in Israel’s genocide with the support of those same forces, the left in our country cannot keep doing what it has done until now and expect a different result.
At the same time, with huge support for the new ‘Your Party’ there is an unprecedented opportunity for positive change. However, this will only happen if our movement unites and refuses to be sidetracked or divided.
With fascism on the horizon, there is no room or time for egos, territorialism, or division. The only focus should be the pooling of resources and effort. This will lead us toward the essential goal of showing the people of the UK that the far right and the establishment are two sides of the same coin. Only in socialism is there hope for real change for the better both domestically and internationally.
In this spirit and to that end our two publications, Skwawkbox and the Canary, are joining forces. This will mean our output and our influence can be greater than they could be separately. Our aim is to rock the status quo and reach the ordinary people of our country with the messages, truth, and hope that they need to hear.
Skwawkbox will be moving to the Canary’s website from next week, where you’ll find all its new content in the future.
As a united media force, we will be expanding and diversifying, looking to constantly amplify left-wing voices, and counter messages of hate, fear, and division.
We believe that there are exciting times ahead. SKWAWKBOX and the Canary hope that you will come with us and continue to support us – as we try to support you. Together, we aim to play a central role in not just saving our country but building a real and better future for it.

It’s a shame canaries don’t sqwawk. There might have been a joke or two in there! But, seriously, will we need to re-register our email addresses for notifications or are the two sites just merging their subscriber lists anyway?
Excellent news. Thank you.
Let’s hope other media start to merge, or, at least, think about it. See if others join you and The Canary, on one platform, or form their own associations.
A wholly sensible and welcome move in the current climate. Keep up the great work! (I know I don’t need to say that, I will not be alone in having the utmost confidence.)
Solidarity and good luck.
Well done! The workers united will never be defeated!
That only works when based on class politics rather than the disunity engendered in salami slicing everybody into an artificially manufactured hierarchy of oppression which represents the antithesis of the unity of class politics.
As is common, a picture conveys more than words:

Just to provide further clarity:
The question which has been hanging in the air in regard to the future of the unity of class politics in this country would appear to have been answered in favour of the disunity of identity politics:

Sky News just announced Angela Rayner’s resignation.
Will she try to join Your Party – and would they have her anyway?
I seriously doubt that Rayner will apply to join your Party too democratic for her liking.
Was she to apply, I hope that Corbyn and Sultana will veto her on the grounds of her openly fascistic tendencies, as proven by the two instances below:
– “shut them first and ask questions later”
– ” I am ready to expel thousands of Labour´s members” Hence, willing to expel thousands members on trump charges of antisemitism. She has fulfilled her promise as hundreds of anti-Zionist Jews have been expelled from the LP under her watch.
Them is the corruption of Rayners accepting gifts, not paying her due stamp duty, and the controversy of buying her council flat, instead of leaving the flat she not longer needed to revert back to the local authority so the flat could be offered to another family.
Great news guys.
You have both been excellent at getting the left of centre perspective out there and by becoming a nexus I can foresee our voices being amplified even louder to a much bigger audience.
Solidarity to all ✊
Great idea. I’m a Canary subscriber already. Looking forward to your combined coverage.
What will happen to the current skwawkbox website and it’s content?
