The Labourright’s name-calling is endemic. When I was at uni I was called a “Trot” by people who are now current Labour figures, MPs and councillors, and I was much less left wing. No serious engagement with terms, just straightforward bullying.https://twitter.com/lukeakehurst/status/1065761610868887554 …

And not as though anyone on the Labour left throws terms like Blairite or NeoLib around in a careless manner.

Apparently I’m part of a ‘far left cabal’. Came as news to me.

Well they're very secretive, you could have been leader of their revolutionary cadre without ever knowing.

And if you are not labour left then you’re a red Tory, yellow Tory, f***ing Blairite, centrist or Tory scum. Playground stereotyping and vitriolic name calling on all sides means you have no argument. Progress is always incremental and involves accommodation and compromises.

You think being called a Trot is abusive? You think that's bullying? You should really see what the "right" (had no idea I was that until pleasantly informed in imaginative ways by the "left") have had to deal with. Had no idea that "Labour" could be so abusive till 2015 & Corbyn
