I am thinking it may be way past time for a credible alternative to Labour.
Avoid at all costs eh?
The main reason I've given for not joining the party under Corbyn was I had no desire to spend my time battling a toxic hierarchy. Some people looked at me as though I were exaggerating when I said that.
What really fucks me off now is that most of the Corbynite left who choose to stay in the party will see the solution to these problems as getting rid of the particular people who were a problem as reported in this document, rather than addressing the clear problems of structure that this reveals.
You could get rid of all the people implicated in this document and I'd still call the Labour Party a toxic hierarchy.
Thread for all the not massively surprising revelations from the party that hates itself.
On a lighter note here's Euan Philipps being a weird curtain twitcher, plenty of worse stuff emerging though.

She's currently assistant Gen Sec of Unison.
I'm buggered if I know what the answer is.
While there's a point where enough is definitely enough, it's worth bearing in mind that the blairites will be quite happy if anyone working class and / or remotely left wing just leaves the party.
What is the 'something better'?
I think we've ruled George Galloway's latest thing out.
Tiny parties that might get a hundred or so votes in a few constituencies?
Accept perpetual tory government (albeit occasionally under a 'new labour' identity) and just do protest?
Something else?
Give up?
Blargh.
Interestingly (or not) her tweets are 'protected'.She's currently assistant Gen Sec of Unison.
Probably because she's got a load of shit from people over the last few days and locked it down.Interestingly (or not) her tweets are 'protected'.

YouSir or editor - can you amend the title to indicate what particular Labour report we're talking about? Ta.
What will happen is... next to nothing. Most of the people who were blocking the investigations have moved on. There'll be some more minor reshaping of the disciplinary units. Someone will be told off. 98% of those disciplined will claim the report exonerates them.
Absolutely nothing is going to happen.
Some people on the twitter predicting that leaking this thing unredacted (with all the names of everyone involved) is going to lead to a thousand legal actions and will bankrupt the party. So that’s great too.
dunno
the blairites are already saying this is corbyn / momentum / the left's fault
i'm sure they will scapegoat whoever leaked this rather than do anything about the content...
Saw some lawyer saying they were taking legal action for those named. Financial effect of that should be a secondary concern though really, don't think they've realised how many members they're losing yet. The loss of subs will be the real killer.
