Sultana Corbyn party...

Can't help feeling that they will have to rename 'Your Party' to 'Whose Party?'.

I'm all for taking the p1ss out of leftie politicians. That isn't what you are doing though. Let me give you an example:

Good to hear, let's hear some funny ones then 😉

Splitters!

I know you disapprove of people taking the p1ss out of leftie politicians, but sadly you won't stop it like this 🙂

They say, converts are the most fervent 😂

You actually could not make this up, it's like something from The Onion.

The big issue seems to be about money.
I was wondering if the left have such a problem with cohesion because money is always going to be a tight at the start of the project.
The right often have a rich donor who bankrolls the initial start up costs. Where as the left don’t tend to have that luxury.

What. ever the reason, it makes good media fodder, a split before they have even started 😂

If Corbyn is anything to with its organisation or running it will always end up a disaster. He should be kept firmly in the background and given no responsibility at all, other than as a Totem for the perpetually hopeful.

Sultana raisins the pressure with defamation threat.

Labour must having a sigh of relief

I think the bigger issue with those on the more Socialist/Communist edges of the left is the ideological positioning. Many seem to think their interpretation is the 'purest' and simply refuse to entertain any dissenting voice.

I suspect they'd have an argument (à la LoB) over whether it should be called the Islington People's Front or the Islington Peoples' Front.

Not really. The people who were looking at this lot with hope were the ones Starmer told, in no uncertain terms, to fück off because he didn't want the votes of the likes of them. They'd be as likely to vote Labour now as you would.

This degenerating into an utter shitshow doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Would've been good to see them get something up & running before they ripped themselves to shreds, but whatever. Never gonna happen in this timeline, was it?
