Starmer ridiculed again over retrospective exclusion of Labour members. Here are some great takedowns
Shamed: keep your eyes down, Keir – otherwise you’ll read another tweet taking you down.
Earlier this week, members of the public were scandalised to learn that former Labour General Secretary candidate Pamela Fitzpatrick is being threatened with auto-exclusion from the party, because she gave an interview to now-proscribed organisation Socialist Appeal.
She did it more than a year ago, when it was not proscribed and she had no reason to believe it ever would be.
Obviously, Labour’s position is ridiculous. The threat against Ms Fitzpatrick should be dropped and a fulsome apology issued. The party has put itself in yet another humiliating position.
But critics have decided that it’s not bad enough, and have provided their own contribution to the debate. Let’s enjoy some of them.
Today I was notified that I am being formally investigated by the Labour Party following the emergence of my membership of the Tufty Club in 1976.

Has John Bercow received his notification of possible auto exclusion yet?

I have just received a letter from the Labour Party threatening me with auto exclusion because I once gave someone my last Rolo, and this kind of socialism cannot be tolerated.

If This Writer hadn’t been kicked out of Labour for being an impartial political journalist, I might be worried.
They can’t get me on the Blockbuster rap but I fear my record on Rolos, and membership of the Tufty Club, may have mitigated against me.

Of course, the ultimate thought crime in the eyes of the Starmer Stasi is to have been a member of the LABOUR Party when led by Jeremy Corbyn. And being reasonably happy with it!
This was exactly the kind of thing the press were warning Corbyn would do when he took over – because, of course, the “Far Left” and ruthless purges just naturally go together as everyone knows, don’t they?
