With all due respect I think your man Brand would take one look at Left Unity and run a mile! He's not about the old politics of left & right. Left Unity is packed full of discarded middle class remnants of Respect & current members of Haringey Solidarity Group to name but a few of the so-called radical left peoples involved with Unity Left. Yes the political frustrations match up but, Brand is an individual on his own mission, a bit like a younger Geldof.
It will be interesting to see if Brand's style of fuck-you politics really goes anywhere. One things for sure he doesn't take any prisoners but, he's also driven by his own vanity - but then so are quite a few politicians.

Left unity is full of the idea that paying people to sit on their arse on benefits is a good idea. It's not, it's a shit idea, Brand might support it but I don't. The thoughtless left need a cattle prod up their tired old clap trap as much as the right does in my opinion.

The link above takes me to an interview of Brand with Paxo in 2010, the lack of beard gives it away, whereas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YR4CseY9pk is the interview from 23rd October following Brands editing of a 'revolution themed edition of the New Statesman', where he talks about not voting, and the need for change/ revolution.
