Timeline

1951

Lindsey Ann German (born 1951) is a British left-wing political activist.

A founding member and convenor of the British anti-war organisation Stop the War Coalition, she was formerly a member of the Socialist Workers Party, sitting on its central committee and editor of its magazine, Socialist Review.

Lindsey German was born in London in 1951 and educated in Hillingdon at Vyners, then a grammar school.

1963

She came 5th in the mayoral election with 63,294 first and second preference votes (3.3% of the total) and in the assembly election came just below the 5% threshold in the top-up section (the assembly election followed the Additional Member System) which would have gained her a seat on the assembly.

1970

In 1970 she attended the "Stop the '70 Tour" demonstration organised by Peter Hain against the tour of the all-white South African cricket team.

1972

German joined the International Socialists (later the Socialist Workers Party) in 1972, the same year she began to read law at the London School of Economics.

1975

She was active in the original National Abortion Campaign in April 1975, then responding to a parliamentary private member's bill put forward by Glasgow Labour MP James White, and was involved in campaigns to achieve equal pay for women.

1977

German had become a full-time official by 1977 for what was now the Socialist Workers Party and a member of the party's central committee.

1984

German was the editor of the party's monthly magazine, Socialist Review, from 1984 until April 2004.

She has written several books, including two on women's rights and A People's History of London, co-written with her partner, John Rees.

2001

German was involved in setting up the Stop the War Coalition in September 2001.

It was established to oppose the war in Afghanistan and later Iraq.

German became convenor of the Stop the War Coalition, speaking at meetings and demonstrations.

2003

At the SWP's Marxism 2003 event she commented: "I'm in favour of defending gay rights, [...] but I am not prepared to have it as a shibboleth, [created by] people who . . . regard the state of Israel as somehow a viable presence."

2004

German has twice stood as a left-wing candidate for Mayor of London, coming fifth in 2004, and as the Left List mayoral candidate in the May 2008 elections.

In January 2004, German supported the move to form Respect – The Unity Coalition, which included the SWP and other opponents of the war in Iraq, including Muslim groups and which stood as a left alternative to the Labour Party in elections.

She was Respect's candidate for the London Mayoral election in June 2004, in addition to being first in the list for election to the London Assembly.

2005

In the 2005 general election she was the Respect candidate for the West Ham, London, constituency and came second with 19.5% of the vote.

2007

On 18 April 2007 she was selected as Respect's candidate for the 2008 London Mayoral election.

However, a subsequent split within the organisation meant that German was not able to use the party's name in the election.

Instead German stood as the candidate for Mayor and the assembly under the Left List name, the SWP part of Respect, finishing in eighth place in the election to be mayor with 16,796 votes on first preference.

According to journalist John Anderson, German was a leading figure promoting further ties between the SWP and various "reactionary Islamists" such as the Muslim Association of Britain and the British Muslim Initiative.

2009

German's employment by the SWP lasted until the January 2009 SWP party conference.

At that conference the proposed slate did not include John Rees, German's partner and another long-standing member of the Central Committee (CC).

German proposed an alternative slate which did include Rees.

When it became clear this would be overwhelmingly defeated, German and Chris Nineham withdrew their names from the election and were not selected.

As the Central Committee slate was the only proposed slate that went to the vote at conference she was not re-elected to the SWP's Central Committee in 2009.

2010

In February 2010, following "increasing disenchantment" with the leadership, she resigned from the SWP, after 37 years' membership.

In 2010, German resigned from the SWP.

2015

In August 2015, German endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's campaign in the Labour Party leadership election.

2019

In 2019, German wrote that there was little evidence for an epidemic of antisemitism within the Labour Party, with a "very small number of cases proved, and a small number of accusations made".

She wrote that such allegations were "political attacks - against Corbyn and his left wing politics, and against all those who criticise the state of Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians. These are the real reasons for their scale and ferocity, and why they are taken up with such enthusiasm by the BBC and the rest of the media."

In 2022, in response to the prelude to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, German wrote an opinion piece in The Guardian criticising Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer's support of the NATO alliance.
