BREXIT

Andy Burnham stood to be leader of the Momentum Party twice. And lost twice. Resoundingly, both times. He lost precisely because he was everything Corbyn isn't. Just imagine being the sort of person who describes Jeremy Corbyn as a 'career politician' and then a few sentences later says that Andy Burnham should be leader of the party. Ignorance or stupidity, I'm not sure which. 

I really don't understand why people find it so hard to believe that a socialist party should be led by an actual socialist. Unsure why people who supposedly class themselves as Labour can't comprehend this - it's probably a pretty good hint that you are in the wrong party. If your idea of opposition is the 'cut a little bit less than the Tories, privatise a little less frequently than the Tories, don't cut welfare quite as much as the Tories, hate immigrants just a little bit less than the Tories, start wars abroad just as often as the Tories and support and sell weapons to criminals like Netanyahu and Bin Salman because money talks', then just join the Liberal Democrats already and let the rest of us get on with opposing this heinous government. 

There is a reason that the sort of vapid, fiddle whilst Rome burns, status quo centrism proposed by the likes of Andy Burnham and Yvette Cooper is being wiped out in the polls across Europe. It provides no answers to the problems and gross inequalities in our society. Just look at what is happening in France where the presidency of that despicable little elitist cretin Macron is being ripped down around him. And you want someone like that in charge of the Labour Party? Behave. 

There I've corrected that for you.

My point is that the Labour Party has been taken over by Momentum.

Are you actually suggesting that if somebody like Yvette Cooper or Chuka Umunna was leader of the Labour Party they would be ahead in the polls?  Bless. 

Labour were 23 points behind the Tories heading into the last general election and yet received their largest share of the vote for decades. Unsurprisingly, when purdah kicked in and the right-wing press actually had to give Labour a fair hearing, our poll ratings climbed 15 points. It also coincided with the **** you'd like leading the party having to actually go out and campaign to save their own jobs rather than spending their every breathing hour whoring themselves out to whichever TV studio would give them the airtime to launch ridiculous smears against their own members. 

I do indeed fiercely dislike what you describe as 'left of centre' which in reality means supporters of status quo neoliberal policies that create and perpetuate gross inequalities in our society. It's funny really that you mention the notion that the far left and far right overlap at times without even a hint of irony. Whilst the sort of politicians you'd like in charge of the Labour Party were attacking immigrants, supporting mandatory I.D cards and pandering to the BNP in places like Barking (oh hello again Margaret Hodge), the 'far left' were out on the streets opposing fascism and fighting fascists, like they always have. The left in the UK has always been the first on the streets to oppose fascism, whilst 'social democrats' like Blair and Clinton think the best way to oppose them is to imitate some of their policies.

I don’t really think there is a left/right or Labour/Tory bias, just a bit of an over eagerness to pander to the establishment and keep everybody happy, which sometimes obfuscates honest reporting.
