Making the party pure is more important than mounting effective opposition & convincing the electorate that we can be better for the people of Britain. UKLabour still in that 1980’s rut. The centre is important. There are a lot of people there. We need their votes & their trust.

Electoral suicide.

Well let’s hope they deselect vile anti-semites. Doubt they will, though.

Removing the people that are proven vote winners seems like an excellent strategy if you are determined never to be a party in power.

Please deselect all MPs, and replace them with cabbage.

So any Labour MP who thinks the party has a problem with the Jewish people can be de-selected Quality Jeremy Quality
