really? I cant see anyone from Sheffield mentioned, unless they are way down in the 1400 comments. But who the hell would ever read them?

Something on Straight Left. Clears up the debate on who Harry Steel actually was as well.

Tristram Hunt actually tells a bunch of Oxbridge students that, as the 'top 1%', they must retake control of the Labour party

Speaking to the university’s Labour club at an event entitled Principles, Politics and Pathway to Power, Hunt said: “My fear is algorithmic politics [where because] everyone shares the same views as you on social media and in your social circles you become a sect rather than a party.”

According to the Cambridge University student newspaper Varsity, Hunt told students: “You are the top 1%. The Labour party is in the shit. It is your job and your responsibility to take leadership going forward.”

Labour is turning into a sect, says Tristram Hunt

i am not persuaded he meant taking leadership of the labour party. perhaps he had in mind some sort of new party.

The tory party already exists though, and has done for a while.

I see what you did there etc.

Turning into a sect by regaining something like mass participation. A one percent coterie of course not sect-sy.

Did he find any new picket lines to cross while he was at Cambridge Uni?

This thing about Corbyn having a poppy photo-shopped on to him...it's a disaster.

Oh wait, it was just that pigfucker bloke. That's ok then. The disinfo nexus wont make such a fuss and they can all go back to saying that corbyn is a disaster.

Did you see how the scottish labour party agreed with him on trident? What a disaster. It's split the party.

They should have disagreed with him, that would have been a humiliation which would have split the party instead.

Did that fucker not cross a picket line to deliver a lecture on Marx? He probably had a grin to himself and enjoyed the irony (as well as the faux-transgression) as well. Now he's telling labour students they are the 'one percent' and must 'provide leadership'. I don't know what to make of such a figure, he seems like a satirical creation but I fear he is real...

 

[Plumdaff]

You wonder if these people are made up. Even a satirist would regard using the term one per cent as too obvious. I mean, come on...

Might be relevant for anyone who got rejected.

Surely just being called Rosa would be enough?
