This is so infuriating. I'm an ex Labour member, having joined to vote Corbyn in as leader after hearing him speak and realising that it was possible that we could have a fair society. I left when it became obvious that the party was taking a hard right turn and leftists were being pushed out under ridiculous circumstances. I voted Labour with Starmer as leader because despite some misgivings I thought he seemed 'okay', and the best we could get since Corbyn had (unfairly) been made unelectable. To now know that we were so outrageously scammed - on top of that crypto billionaire paying Farage and Johnson to collude in the Corbyn election and stand down Brexit Party MPs to get Johnson in just shows how hopelessly corrupt the system is. There should be a system in place where these tw*ts are held accountable for knowingly misleading people. Having just watched Oliver Stone's JFK doc series I know things could be worse, but it's pretty much the same situation: a nation with hope, on the cusp of a fairer society, having that ripped from them because the rich and powerful don't like it.
I've just ordered The Fraud, so my anger's only going to increase from here...
Horribly fascinating revelation of the depths that 'Labour Together' sank to. They're right about one thing, Owen- you and others like you are indeed a threat to these cynical,soulless hacks who are paving the way for a Reform government.
Hi Owen, what do you make of Josh Simons giving up his seat for Andy Burnham? Burnham seems more left wing than he used to be but that it's someone so heavily involved in Labour Together who's making this move makes me much more suspicious of Burnham than I was...

Well done, Owen, and keep it up.
