At Sunday’s CEC meeting (10th May 2026), an update was provided on plans for branch formation. It’s expected that around 300 branches will be created along varying geographical boundaries. The timescale for this to be completed remains unclear, but work has been done to identify priority areas, and members in some of these places will shortly be getting emails inviting them to meetings. The inaugural meetings will be for the purpose of forming the branch and electing branch roles.
Meanwhile, the new dual membership rules under which seven socialist organisations have been proscribed will start to be enforced. Members found to be in breach of the rule will be given an ultimatum: resign from the other organisation within 14 days, or your membership will be “administratively terminated” (meaning that you’re given the boot).
Grace Lewis has resigned from the CEC after losing her council seat.
