Let’s face it – the Labour Party died a long time ago. Margaret Thatcher herself referred to New Labour as her “proudest achievement”. But even before Thatcher became PM, there were mutterings from Jim Callaghan that neoliberalism was waiting in the wings “The party’s over!” he told the TUC. And you can take “party” in two meanings!

And Rosie and that “twitter feud”?

This is from 2020 and I see the trans magical mystery tour was already in full swing. I confess to being mystified by Duffield’s reference to a "tedious communist pile-on" and can only put that down to the frightful political illiteracy of the current crop. If Rosie can point me to the passage in Das Kapital urging everyone to cross dress and have their genitalia carved up then I’ll stand corrected.

Maybe she was referring to the authoritarian/totalitarian nature of the gender mob in Labour?

Why didn't she leave Labour though!!?? She should have joined POW
