I read that whole article and it is so absolutely disgusting, I can hardly believe it

if this wholesale sabotage by the people who were getting paid to run the party isn't addressed in anyway, it will be a complete failure. I'm obviously pissed off on ideological grounds, these scum are worse than Tories, but from a purely organisational point of view if they don't look into how and why this was able to happen then they can't stop it from happening again

e: I mean obviously it's unlikely to happen again because it was purely ideological hatred of good things and starmer is not sure if he's pro good things, but theoretically

Be interesting to know how many are 'staffers' (and employees so possibly not members of the party? Is that a requirement) and how many are/were labour party members (eg the MPs).

Realistically the Labour party is still the best place to effectively agitate for socialism in the UK. Even if the leadership are a bunch of melts now and some of the bureaucrats have been shits, they are dwarfed by the membership and they know it. They can't hold on forever. They are ideologically on the way out and the left is resurgent - even with this setback. Pay as little as you can get away with as membership dues, and make things loving difficult for the labour right, but throwing away any influence you might have had over the party is very shortsighted imho. The bolsheviks were the same party as the mensheviks for a long time, and the latter crying and going home doomed them.

e: This isn't to say don't do smaller scale community organising/grassroots stuff etc too - but ditching labour to either do that exclusively or get in with a smaller, more overtly radical left wing party with a few hundred people is I think a terrible idea.

I don't think I would blame any Labour member who leaves the party over this. Things not going your way and someone in charge who's not your preferred choice is one thing, but this just makes it feel like you'd be headbutting a brick wall.

There probably would have been whilst they were in post, if any of their managers ever cared to pursue it, but I doubt there is now.

loving lol if you think Starmer wasn't in on all this, or at the very least was as happy as a sack of cold sludge can manage to take advantage of the backroom fuckery to advance himself.

Unless there's a serious purge of the internal structure of the party there's no way we're getting rid of this kind of ratfuckery, and with the melts back in control they're only likely to reinforce it to stop another Corbyn from getting anywhere near power.
