On the other hand, you do know that the party which you support was once in exactly the same position, and all the toffs in the Liberal Party looked down their noses at these pitiful ex-trade-unionists drawing votes away from the Sensible Party and thus giving power to the Tories?<br /><br />If you believe in something which a political party could be organised around, someone's going to try to do it. And why not, after all? I have no problem with Corbyn, but an awful lot of people in the Labour Party look extremely odious and someone should surely point out that the Labour Party isn't all cute puppies and rainbow-farting unicorns; it can be a singularly nasty, thuggish force when in government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-79253322222768649372019-11-19T00:49:08.323+00:002019-11-19T00:49:08.323+00:00It was actually Liz Davies in the mid-90s IIRC?It was actually Liz Davies in the mid-90s IIRC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-9654870356357732842019-11-18T12:14:50.717+00:002019-11-18T12:14:50.717+00:00The AGS is hardly far left they are basically a ru...The AGS is hardly far left they are basically a rump of the old Leeds NE CLP who were done o we by central office when they fielded a Bennite candidate in the late 80s.Its bizarre that they would stand against a left Labour programme<br /> It's also bizarre they still exist in the age of Corbynism personal resentment rather than politics I frarRay Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174080035905575207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-36935093370521412982019-11-17T11:26:45.486+00:002019-11-17T11:26:45.486+00:00Arthur's man never made it to the nomination ...Arthur's man never made it to the nomination paper in hartlepool in the end, Possibly waylaid.

A Labour government with a sprinkling of socialists in it is a recipe for political confusion, demoralisation and eventual crushing defeat - setting the appeal of socialism back years.
