The Left is definitely taking over the Labour party. And Momentum will stop at nothing to get Marxists into power. They are aggressive in their campaigning in a way that's not been seen before. They will argue, whether they're right or wrong, and if they're losing they'll accuse you of all sorts of things. They'/re also the noisiest. The Left have no worries about one of their number hanging up a banner that says "hang the Tories" but would squeal like pigs if that message was reversed. You only have to take a look at the language used on this very forum against anyone who's not Labour. It's a worry. We need a strong Labour party... but the more the Left push, the harder people in the centre will push back. We don't need extreme Left or extreme Right... we don't need extreme anything. And I'm sure that at the next General election all those people who don't discuss their vote for fear of being abused by someone who's a bit frantic about it all, will use their vote like they always do.

I agree Livia. The degree of censorship and the manner in which it is done is disgraceful and not what a country like Britain is supposed to be about. There is a lot of hypocricy with the equivalent of a lynch-mob reaction to Tory failings but nothing but the sweeping-under-the carpet of or support of Labour failings.

I agree we need a stronger more central Labour Party if there is any chance of getting better than what we currently have - which is far from perfect - but the current Labour government would be an even bigger disaster. No extremes should be the name of the game.
