My friend @Lazarou

Made a very profound point upon noticing whom the Labour Party seems to be most attacking: the Green Party, that is

He said, "The Labour Party are more concerned about another left wing party, then they are about a racist party."

Once you see this, you can never unsee this.

Gosh!

@Geri @Lazarou Tonight's the night! C'mon the Greens!

[geri@mastodon.online]

@Oyu_Fka @Lazarou it feels like an important moment

[nusher@mastodon.scot]

@Geri @Lazarou It says a lot too that Jeremy Corbyn was suggesting people should back the Greens, which is what you would do to stop fascism.

[lazarou@mastodon.social]

@Geri @Oyu_Fka it does!

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Geri @Lazarou "Other" left wing party ?

The Green party is the only left wing party I can think of

Labour used to be but haven't been left wing for decades

[jayflo@social.trom.tf]

@Lazarou @Geri @staringatclouds Labour still claim/pretend they are!

[brianjohnson@mastodon.sdf.org]

@Geri @Lazarou Chris Mason on the BBC seems to think so too: "And if Labour fail to win, it’ll be awkward for them if Reform are the victors - and arguably doubly awkward if it is the Greens". If that's truly how Labour feel, there's nothing I can add.

[indyrichard@mastodon.scot]

@Geri @Lazarou I believe that Labour not been a party of the left for a while now.

[hashbangperl@hachyderm.io]

@Geri @Lazarou previously they always went harder at lib dems than tories

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@jayflo They can claim to be left wing all they like

Their actions betray them

@Lazarou @Geri

[oyu_fka@mastodon.social]

@Geri @Lazarou Definitely....historic even 🤞!

[lazarou@mastodon.social]

@staringatclouds @jayflo @Geri exactly

[geri@mastodon.online]

@brianjohnson @Lazarou He's a balding little shill

A Weasle of a man

[brianjohnson@mastodon.sdf.org]

@Geri @Lazarou Totally. He winds me up whenever I hear his voice. And that's before I listen to his words.

[geri@mastodon.online]

@brianjohnson @Lazarou

You can see him in a few years time doing a fuckubg comb over like a bastard throw back of Bobby Charlton

Xx

[lazarou@mastodon.social]

@Geri @brianjohnson he lives a lie....

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@Geri @Lazarou yes.

that consistent behaviour from UK Labour is evidence, of the incontrovertible kind, that UK Labour is a conservative party aligned with their friends the fascists, and directly opposes your progressive political movement and the party leading that.

[jackeric@beige.party]

@Geri @Lazarou well yes

Labour's core belief is that _they_ are the one-stop shop for delivering political change, their party are the gatekeepers of left-wing political activity

So the success of any other left-wing party is an existential threat to them - as is electoral reform that would effectively eliminate any future Labour majority government. They'd rather lose to the Tories most of the time than be a major partner in a coalition most of the time.

@Geri @Lazarou Except Labour in the 21st century are - at best(!) - a centre-right party.
