Derek Hatton re-admitted to Labour, suspended after two days

I don’t believe the PLP is far left and neither is it’s core electoral support.

It’s been hijacked by Momentum who frankly should fuck off and for their own party if they believe in the shit they spout.

Whilst I don’t necessarily disagree with you, 2017 saw them get the 4th largest vote in their history. Bearing in mind that 2 of the other 3 were in 1950 and 1951 (when they got most votes but less seats than the Conservatives), after 5 years of a ‘socialist government’ and the other one was in 1997 when Blair capitalised on the Tory vote dying on its arse, maybe people have had enough of consensus capitalism?
The rich are relentlessly getting richer and the poor are just going the other way, public services are being eroded year on year and, just maybe, the electorate aren’t as convinced as you are of what they want.
After all, that vote was only in 2017 and I’m not sure anyone has learned anything about JC that they didn’t know then.

Not a problem, it's just one of those misconceptions largely because, I think, snatcher rhymes with Thatcher :)

Labour were asked to back a genreal strike, if that had happened the governmemt would have crumbled, the country was at war, kinnock refused, man was a shithouse, protecting his position over the working people.

A **** of a man at times

In the book "The Enemy Within" It states that the journalists that reported the NUM's financial dealings that led to the seizing of their funds and ultimately the collapse of the strike, were awarded for their (false) story at a annual press ceremony - who presented the award - Mr Neil Kinnock.
