I think the problems in Labour go a lot deeper than 1 guy.

You know Spiked Online, that used to be the Revolutionary Communist Party, yes?
Did anyone outslde the RCP (including mainstream communists) ever think they were communist? I'm not aware of any.
Did anyone ever think Glasman was a centrist?
Blue Labour scum, he hung out with Steve Bannon of the GOP Trump party
Revolting.
He is revolting Glassman
Bourgeois social fascists?
🤣
He at least has an academic record to back up what he says. What does anyone on Spiked have (apart from perhaps James Woudhuysen or Joel Kotkin)?
Your initial post said nothing about academic records.
That's true, because I didn't need to; there wasn't any contrast needing to be made at that point because we were just discussing the Spiked crew. As soon as Glasman entered the picture, I thought it made sense to mention the difference between them and him.
You posted a facile meme and now you want to pretend it's a fully worked out argument.
I don't like Spiked because I think they're right wingers hiding behind the label of (one time) communists. It's that simple.
I take back what I said about Glasman. I didn't know he's supporting Trump now; I just knew that he was close to Blair in the noughties. Fox sake.
Somebody once tried to recruit me into the revolutionary communist party. I’m moderately certain that she really was communist.
What, this one? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolut...
Probably. The woman in question approached me at an abortion rights rally – I note this isn’t listed as one of the front organisations. We had a drink, and she struck me as absolutely barking, though rather clever.
this why we everything is fucked.... both sides to stupid to see thr value of the middle ground....
What middle ground, Starmer gone to the right, not even in the middle over wanting to leave the ECHR article 8, Bridget Phillipson said Yvette Cooper looking at that idea, pushed by Blunkett and Jack Straw the right of a family life
none of them are middle, The window has shifted so far right, that Corbyn who was middle is not considered far left...
Middle ground today just means "let's keep everything fundamentally as it is" which is exactly what Labour and Tories have been doing. This is exactly what led to Trump, Le Pen, Farage etc.
no the middle ground is about finding a way to stop things from going extremes. You think Trump, Le Pen, and Farage are the middle then you clearly are not that political astute.... The idea that middle ground is keeping things the same. shows a lack of understanding what conservative means
I didn't say that they are the middle, read my post again. They are not. They are the natural reaction of sticking to the middle for years.
