Momentum need to fold now and provide leadership and members for the We Deserve Better group that's just been formed. It could provide the home for the many disgruntled Labour MPs and councillors who'll leave Starmer's Party by the shedload once the Red Tories are in power doing the bidding of big business and attacking workers.

Should have gone further. Upset a few.
"the working class which labour once represented have been forgotten and downtrodden as the second class citizens they are, the only thing that matters in politics is money, and no party can expect to succeed without pandering to those that have already accumulated incredible wealth. There is no winning through by hanging the landed gentry out to dry, by taxing generation boomer, by pursuing the property and asset rich. Once again the poor will be looked to to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and when they inevitably fail will be blamed accordingly. The system isn't broken, it is running perfectly, this is the goal, prove yourself exceptional or into the gutter you go. The survival of the 'I'm alright Jacks' and to hell with everyone and everything else."

The land of milk and honey is a fairytale.

It's not really though is it ? Neu Labour are diverting from what the leader was elected to do, and changing it's structure too, some of which was highlighted in what @davek posted. Fairly constructive really, unlike my posts.

….it has to be good news that Labour have got rid of Momentum just as they saw off Militant. Surely that faction would be better forming their own unelectable party.

Bit disappointed they didn't sign off by vowing a bloody war against centrist Dads.

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Anyway, not really a surprise is it? It's been brewing for quite some time.

I've got friends involved with the Labour party locally and very much subscribe to the Momentum position, but have said from day 1 the rancour between Blairites/centrists and those more aligned with Momentum/Corbyn has been "poisonous".

The rancour between Blairites/centrists and everyone is poisonous.
