    There is now a substantial proportion of the Labour left which thinks that by stopping a second referendum - even if this means doing a deal with the Tories - we can somehow "get one over" on the right. In fact, this strategy would destroy us and hand them victory, on a plate.

        Do you mean the right of the Labour Party or the political NoDealBrexit right ie ERG, BrexitParty, RCP?

        If the left didn't do the last minute compromise on that conference motion for a 2nd referendum we wouldn't have lost Sunderland.

        It's what happens when commitment to ideology and internal party politics trump issues of social justice and social equality for ordinary people. Their Utopia isn't about building a society for real people, it's about an ideal where people have to fit in or pay the price.

        Who on the Labour left is advocating that a deal with the Tories would be a good thing?

        Based on their statements over the past few weeks, I suspect it is Owen Jones, Michael Walker and Aaron Bastani.

        Anyone on the Labour Left who advocates doing a deal with the Tories, is a fucking idiot who clearly prefers a Tory Brexit (and ultra deregulation) to staying in the EU with the worker protections we have. Bizarre.
