I've been watching the Brits at it for a while and MP after MP from the SNP Westminster branch have announced they are not running in the next GE. Combining that with the bizarre and hypocritical treatment they're receiving from Operation Branchform and the press, is it fair to expect them to stop even bothering with showing up on Westminster in the future like Sinn Féin does?

Given they have no power to do more than complain in Westminster anyways, this might be a course for escalation in the ever-growing "Mandate for Independence" the Tories (Blue and Red) like handing to them.

The party, known principally for its pro-trans stance, has seemingly disintegrated following a split. Said split was apparently precipitated by a conflict between senior leadership, with allegations of "anti-black racism" being cast at an apparently anonymous figure inside the organisation. The party's comms and internet presence have been systematically removed from the internet, amid claims that the party's communications are being scrubbed by rogue moderators.

Socialist Appeal, a British front organisation for the IMT, has cobbled together an impressive presence throughout universities up and down the country.

They appear to possess a veritable spiders' web of university societies under their direct, centralised control; from the Sussex Marxist Society on the south coast to Revolutionary Students Edinburgh up in Scotland, the IMT have cast a wide net. Going by their own sources, more than 50 universities fall under the umbrella of their "Marxist Students Federation", all complete with expensive custom made banners and glossy agitprop art. On top of this, their pockets are so deep now that they've taken to throwing their own "Marxist festival" in an extra effort to try and woo the students.

I've heard they rinse their membership with exorbitant members fees, but even so this seems like a lot. Do they have some high profile sponsors that keep them afloat so they can pursue these ambitious projects or is there some other arrangement in place to provide them all these resources?

Well, this certainly looks like it'll give the British Republican movement a shot in the arm
