[JimmyJeffers]

I've got friends involved with the Labour party locally and very much subscribe to the Momentum position,

I know, they're proper shady vegan types too.

….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.

They haven't and nor will they. They need the Momentum feet on the ground to canvass for them at the election.

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.

Red Tories don't like having a mirror held up to them.

How big an impact does knocking on someone's door have Dave?

The Starmer clique would find that out if they ever moved against Momentum. They're the ones on the knocker in elections, not the 'Labour' front bench.

I'm going to remind you and every other Red Tory enabler just how responsible you are for the continuation of austerity to come.

You can do what you like, as long as the Nazis are gone I couldnt care less.

But be sure to remind me after a full term, cos if you think anybody can fix this country within 4 years then you need your head feeling.

If it didn't work they wouldn't do it.

I've done the leaflets and knocked on doors (admittedly for the Greens in a very Tory seat about 15 years ago). It's valuable insight for the campaign teams, if nothing else. But it does get people out to vote.

It amazes me that you were an academic Dave.

There have actually been studies (it boosts turnout by around 4%).I was just seeing if Dave was talking out of his bunghole again.

First 100 days of 'Labour' in power and the promises on laws regarding workplace reform (thoroughly watered down already like)...let's see if they can deliver even that as promised.

I dont really pay attention to that Dave.

All I know is that The Nazi Party needs to go.

If we get a watered down Nazi Party instead, well at least its watered down and maybe less people will be murdered.
