Young people forgetting they will be out if date one day with silly hair and strange speaking voice. JM hasn't changed much though.

The MP in question joined the SDP - so the right of the Labour hasn't changed either has it.

And the centre? You know those who made up majority forming Labour. Centre support some L left some L right ideas. But with out government nothing.

The majority of Labour members tend to be left of the PLP. I tend to think 'centre' is a meaningless word. Centre of what? What really matter is people's values and beliefs and the policies they support.

Many present members not genuine Labour... I know plenty SWP... PLP should have more influence. They know what really goes on. Who is reliable, good at job, lazy, gets stuff done for public benefit. Let's be honest. Corbyn awful leader. PLP couldn't fail to notice.

2017 pass you by in a haze Kate? I simply telling you the conclusions of a ESRC study that Labour members are left wing. Nothing to with your fantasies about SWP. If the PLP don't want to be part of the Labour party, they can stand as independents. They won't

I was on the doorstep canvassing dear Mr Philosophy teacher. And for the elections before that. Where were you? PLP are people who DO stuff in society not just idealists and fantasists.

I'm a Labour member who campaigned on the doorstep and, like most members, voted for Corbyn twice. We'd be in power now if the PLP and party officials had united behind the leadership and manifesto in 2017. The Right putting their outrage above the country still hurts a lot.

Same, as did most of my friends. If the Labour riht hadn’t deliberately sabotaged the 2017 election, we genuinely could have won.

If anyone thinks that the relentless hostile campaign against Corbyn from day 1 wasn't good for at least 2% of the lost vote, they're delusional. Theie delusion is that democratic socialism cannot be popular. Many used to believe, sold out to 'pragmatism', and hate any reminder.
