Five Most Popular Posts in October

Five most read last month were:

1. Guarding Against the Far Left
2. Whither the Blairite Rebellion?
3. Ideology in The Great British Bake Off
4. Jeers and Loathing in Manchester
5. Corbynmania and Momentum

As for the SP, their position that Labour is a straight bourgeois outfit should rule out hanging around the Labour Party. Whatever, as they're still standing candidates against the party in local by-elections (and getting derisory votes for their pains, they are in breach before they begin of Momentum's focus on rebuilding the party. Incredibly, there is always a ready audience for these arcane goings ons, and as long as people read 'em I will occasionally write about 'em.
