if you look at it as a 'purge' then yeah, what you say is accurate, but if you look at is a way to make MPs more accountable, then it's irrelevant.
It’s quite clearly a power grab by Corbynites. They dominate the Labour Party membership and they’re using that to rid the party of Corbyns critics. All they’ll end up doing is destroying the party as they’ll push it too far left for most people’s tastes.
As I said before in this thread the Labour party does not exist any more. It is the communist party in all but name.

The ongoing internal purge and intimidation of 'moderates' is extraordinary. I wonder if the general public will even pick up on it, though. I see McDonnell is currently saying there is no such campaign - an astonishing statement given the facts and a denial of the truth so typical of the communist leadership.

A gentler, kinder politics...

Momentum are just a better organised Militant group . They have won the battle for the Labour Party its theirs the moderates have lost control of it and they will never get it back, time for a "New Labour " movement ?.

Incidentally the no confidence motion passed by two votes, and the two journalists who attended and filmed it voted in the ballot
from the same feed...

the lack of Media exposing just who momentum are is really telling. Corbyn clearly is taking a leaf out of Trumps book when he just refuses to engage with anyone who has a different opinion to him.

they should shadow frank field as there are momentum members who were probably members of militant back in the day and I suspect it will get nasty for him.

Labour is made up of a bunch of nasty bds. They really do deserve a kicking and I hope the party breaks up before the next election or everyone in this country is royally fked.

Truly hateful people.

So just to clarify the current Labour standpoint:

- people should be allowed to self-identify their own gender

- also, we support our leader in taking money from a regime that hangs gay people

Didn't c4 run an undercover op on momentum a while back. They found nothing.

The "media" are always overjoyed to find reasons to attack Corbyn. If momentum was a sinister plot then we'd be hearing about it.

Your assertions are baseless.

How predictable, that the pro-Momentum C4 would fail to find anything in an undercover operation. I wouldn't trust anyone less to report accurately them.

If you want a textbook example of undemocratic abuse of power in selecting mp's, read up on how frank field was installed. Or maybe kate hoey, or chris leslie.

On the upside the true believer supporters are usually the first to get purged once their leader gets into power.

Luckily for Momentum this probably won't involve being taken out behind the chemical sheds. Probably.

That's any political party - and one I do disagree with.

Hariet Harpersons other half, Jack Dromey , was similarly parachuted into a safe Labour seat ahead of locally preferred candidates so perhaps its no small wonder that local activists want to give the party higher echelons a good kicking when able and released to do so by the party machine.

Cheers,

Tony.

You'd like to think so but having seen the rise and fall of the hard left in the 80's some of the very same people expelled from the party by Kinnock are actively involved in momentum especially here on the Wirral and in Liverpool. My assertions are based on fact not just a forum or a bit in one of the rags. Channel 4 couldn't find anything because they didn't look its Channel 4 ffs. they looked at Spending nothing else baseless my arse to quote a well known socialist.
