Keir Starmer at it again..

[pr0sl0]

Akehurst is one of the more influential behind-the-scenes figures of the Labour right, and incredibly factional. Would bomb anything for a vote, would cut off his own arms and legs to spite the left.

And to be fair to him, starting a rumour that he's going to be parachuted into Diane Abbott's seat is the kind of thing that he would do just for fun, knowing how much teeth-gnashing it would inspire.

Yuck.

The first Sunak vs Starmer debate is on ITV next Tuesday (04/06) at 9pm.

Starmer really needs to quickly tweet "Debate time, @Rishi - C U Next Tuesday "

I respect all the comments made in defence of Dianne Abbot, I am a lifelong Labour voter, a moderate and a Blairite, I am the type of Labour supporter Abbot, Corbyn, Momentum etc would consider a traitor to the cause.

I would put myself in the etc group you are referring to and I have never considered people like you as "traitors to the cause", you are just the type of person I would disagree with on a handful of issues but largely share similar values.

The Labour Party has always had a degree of factionalism...it existed under Foot/Benn, Smith, Blair/Brown, Miliband and Corbyn...but never have I witnessed the factionalism of 2015 onwards and that was most definitely not confined to just the left of the party, it was from all sides...

You've won that battle. I don't see what you gain from diminishing the achievements of one of the country's flag bearers for black women's representation. It doesn't suggest respect at all.

Akehurst is a really nasty piece of work

I except that my views regarding where I stand with regards to Labour Party politics are not particularly welcome, so I’ll not comment on this thread further.

That's a bit defensive, and a myth.

I hope you didn't get that from my post, because this is completely the opposite take of what I said.

They are welcomed. I just don't agree. That is the point.

Why not? If they are true there is no problem posting on here.
