And she is forced on the defensive for liking a tweet that is true: LFI, JLM etc are as Asa Winstanley/Al Jazeera ‘’The Lobby’ have conclusively shown, well organised groups.

There is another way of reading these escalated purges: Starmer and his clique know their economic policy will crash and burn, and are desperate to prevent any Left criticism.
Ironically (but something I will relish) it will be the right wing media (including BBC) who will most enthusiastically slam Starmer/Reeves in government for economic incompetence…

we'll look back on the days of george osborne and kwasi karteng as halcyon days of economic competence in comparison to the fuckwittery of la reeves.

Not quite but given Labour have vowed to accept Tory spending plans and not raise taxes, the sums do not add up. It is just that the only new policy ideas come from the Left: and Reeves facile ‘securonomics’ is a platitudinous slogan only.

and that's with basic arithmetic. when presented with spending projections she will sink to the level of her training and not rise to the occasion.

There is already one serious downside of Reeves even now: for an article I am writing I have been forced to read her turgid thoughts in detail…

She actually boasts of having worked for the Bank of England!

it's not a boast reciprocated by the bank itself.

Hey, Dean Yager!
I see Euan Phillips of Labour Against Antisemitism the actually not Jewish but made up a fake alias "David Gordstein* to mass report Labour members and MPs during the Corbyn years is spitting tacks that Starmer didn't purge every single actually left wing person in the party - because he'd reported them all.
Because being a member of the Socialist Campaign Group or being left wing means you are antisemitic. Making up a fake Jewish sounding name to report Labour MPs and members, not antisemitic. Just to be clear here.

Nearly £1.4m wasted on pursuing people because they blew the whistle (told some very uncomfortable truths actually) and it has all come to nothing:

The party is facing huge legal bills, which critics could have been spent on election campaigning.

I imagine Frank Hester will pay if they ask him nicely.

"A number of party figures had criticised Alex Barros-Curtis’ handling of the case as the party’s director of legal affairs. He has now been installed as the parliamentary candidate for the Labour safe seat of Cardiff West."
Is there anyone involved in the party machinery they haven't given a safe seat too?

Since I can't be bothered finding a Green thread, was wondering, does anyone have any sense of how many Green candidates this time round are ex-Labour/Momentum types? I'm actually tempted to vote for my local candidate cos she's a decent type from a trade union and Momentum background, is this unusual or are there many similar candidates elsewhere?

Their candidate in the Rochdale by election got dropped for Islamaphobia didn't he?

Oh yeah, so he did. But I don't think that proves he was in the Labour Party.

I only know a few Greens around Manchester, mixed bunch, and haven't met any new ones since Starmers election as leader, so not in the best place to assist.

santa paws, do you ever come to the ghetto?
my local candidate appears to be a retired deputy head teacher.
and was a tory activist as recently as 2016 (including photograph with theresa may on his tweeter feed)
think i might have to vote limp dem if i bother at all... (in honesty, voting anything other than LD will only help the tory)

There may be a few candidates that come from there, but that's certainly not the Green Party as a whole. You'll only be disappointed if that’s what you're looking for. And I say that as someone intending to vote Green as my protest. (I mean, who else is there if you don't spoil the ballot?)

Novara media have done some worthwhile digging here and exposed s veritable plethora of connections with lobbying and PR consultancies. Pretty much everything that is wrong with the political landscape in the UK:
