Tragic. We came so close to the Labour Party being the party of labour; for the many, not the few.

Corbyn got done dirty by that psychotic media you guys have over there.

And the other half of the party. The leaked Labour report last year showed the Blairite wing of the party engaging in organised sabotage of any left wing candidates in the 2019 election.

Labour would have probably won if it wasn't for the fucking party itself.

That's cemented the fact for me that the Blairites in the party aren't just misguided, they're actively malicious. They communicated very clearly that they will ensure labour can only win if they're in control and will sabotage anyone outside of their clique.

FPTP needs to go so we can kill this abomination that the party has become and the real factions can stand on their own merits or lack thereof.

Corbyn was also incompetent and didn’t keep his faction together, now Foxman is picking off the remnants one by one
