Labour right are trying to lose two by-elections. But Oldham West applies | The SKWAWKBOX

Last Updated: January 23, 2017By

The supposed ‘internal documents’ predicting drastic loss of support should be taken with a Dead Sea-sized pinch of salt. Rather, those predictions are intended to create lost votes, by depressing turnout.

It appears the Blairites think they didn’t ‘go big’ enough for Oldham West, so now they’re co-ordinating negative headlines from inside and outside the PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party) and have changed their predictions of doom from ‘haemorrhaging support’ to ‘one third of voters’, in an attempt to make sure that their doomsaying succeeds in being self-fulfilling this time round.

    Chuck them out, for working against the party in clear breach of the rules they signed up to when they joined.

    Unless the Labour Blairites (so-called because they are not really labour) are removed from the party it will always have to fight them instead of the Conservatives. Get rid of them first and then we can really combat the injustices of the Conservatives.

    Maybe the bliarites should go and join the lib dems, the other party which has veered to the right and doesn’t believe in democracy.
