Labour’s ruling committee votes to continue retrospective expulsions
For the many? Keir Starmer’s Tepid Tories are expelling people for being socialists. So much for their ‘broad church’!
What a rotten day for democracy in the Labour Party.
The ruling National Executive Committee of Keir Starmer’s Tepid Tories has voted to continue expelling people retrospectively for having anything to do with organisations that the party has since proscribed.
These people would have had no idea that they were doing anything wrong by their contact with these groups.
Indeed, at the time they weren’t doing anything wrong at all.
And in many, if not all, cases there is no reason to believe these groups have done anything to justify being proscribed, even now.
… And that means there is no reason to believe these now-former Labour Party members have done anything to justify the party expelling them.
On the other hand, there is ever reason to believe that Keir Starmer – and those others of his ilk who are responsible for this travesty – have done wrong.
But they can’t be expelled because they twist Labour’s rules to mean anything they want.
I find myself agreeing with a tweet I’ve just read, although I would paraphrase it slightly:
It’s a bad day for democracy, but a great day for corruption.
