This guy is a British patsoc and he's doing little more than playing electoralism. His constitution is tiny by British standards, and he's a known transphobe. He sent two different letters in the leading to election day, one to his white constituents and one to Muslims. In the second one he only talks about Palestine. In the first one he begins by saying he "has no difficulty defining what a woman is" and does not mention Palestine even once.
He also opposes Scottish independence and is proud of it.
Edit: he received 12000 votes and the UK adult population is 45 million. 0.01% of the country voted for him.
He's not a communist and frankly by his superficial opinions it seems he's not a Marxist either, at least I hope he doesn't call himself one. He's just playing politician.
Yeah the first thing is a problem, but do we support Scottish independence?
Under an imperialist UK independence of the constituent nations can only be beneficial. Mind you Scotland has happily participated in that imperialism in the past, but they also got crossed with brexit during the independence referendums. In this way I can only see a supposedly communist figure denying this independence to be an opportunist. Now, a socialist Scotland could certainly be part of a socialist Britain with a socialist England. But this is something they can renegotiate once they become socialist.
Id be wary of espousing this point too much, yes Scotlands upper class particpated in this, but for reference I am scottish and my ancsetors did not benefit from this trade, they where enslaved in coal mines in Scotland.
As this Scottish historian says, the colour of slavery was not black, it was green.

Hell, I also support Welsh, Manx, Cornish, occupied northern Irish, occupied Malvinas, Chagossian, Jersey and Guernsey, the remaining British Caribbean, and occupied Gibraltar independence. And if it were possible I'd be entirely down with England proper getting balkanized into a dozen or more squabbling statelets as well. In reference to the famous quote about partitioning Germany- I "love" England so much, I want there to be several of them...
