Press will from now on refer to him as 'Jaremy Crobny, the former leader suspended over antisemitism' and anyone who supports or defends him will be tarred with the same brush. I don't give a poo poo how the press refers to him my point was that Keir will quietly restore the whip in a few weeks rather than actually following through on expelling Corbyn and risking any of the SCG following him out the door e: catte on a plintthe

Driving out more of the left wing of the party but at the cost of leftists ever wanting to work with Labour again?

Looking at it, the Dutch did fantastically well out of the trade compared to all the countries that we traditionally think of as cocaine countries, even after the dip caused by the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act and corresponding League of Nations Convention.

Thought about todays fuckery a lot. Here's my opinion. SCG needs to form its own unit. Affiliated with Labour ala co-op, but more than happy to vote along its own lines. Unions, ideally would fund SCG directly and leave rest of Labour to fund itself. This means SCG maintains influence, but could vote independently of labour. Essentially baked in C+S process. Would also mean when the Labour ship starts sinking the SCG could hoover up new members, build its own parallel structures etc. I worry a clean break would just give the media carte blanche to ignore SCG from here on out. the attention they gave CUKTIG and UKIP was purely because the media felt it was advantageous for their own interests to do so. No way they'd give a breakaway socialist group half as much attention as they'd give the new SDP or new NSDAP.

The tone of this from the co-leader of the Green Party seems... ill advised https://twitter.com/sianberry/status/1321825660030095361?s=20 Also, apparently Corbyn's statement was signed-off by the leaders' office, but then they swiftly binned him off anyway.

the difference between Labour of the 80s and Labour of today is that even though Kinnock expelled Militant and clamped down on the likes of Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone, there were still a significant amount of actual social democrats (the 'soft left' as they were known - folks like Bryan Gould, Robin Cook, and at one point David Blunkett) who acted as an ideological buttress to straight-up neoliberals like Mandelson, Brown, Smith, and Blair there is no such ideological buttress today, because the Overton Window shifted so far to the right in the past three decades that any actual social democrats in the Labour Party fell into the Corbyn camp, and unless they pledge their fealty to Starmer, they will be purged just as quickly as any actual Labour leftists

read the entire report. funniest thing is that all of the evidence before the social media section (except livingstone and pam) other than one were because leadership suspended (and the report states they're unsure whether LOTO asked for complaints to be sent to them) or that penalties were increased because of social media outcry big theme of it is that before feb 2018 complaints were completely ignored, then they started getting looked at, up and running but not good enough. wow! frankly unsure most of this should be published publically.

Personally can't wait to be lectured on the virtues and necessity of voting by all the people that crushed any faith in our political system. Luckily I left the Labour party so at least I'm not paying for the privilige of being abused and humiliated. I think once the anger passes it's going to be pretty liberating just not to care about politics anymore.
