Well I don't "get it." Aren't we supposed to learn from history? Through all the years that I've been involved in trade unionism and interested in politics, the right wing of Labour has tried to sideline the left. Two things about that: the right-wing media will always make bloody sure that our spats are played out in public. And it will never work. The left are the heart and soul of Labour and will never go away. Never. The left were in fallow under Blair, mostly. And guess what: we got a warmongering Tory-lite leader who got into bed with Bush and who widened the gap between rich and poor, and whose policies of next to no regulation led to the crash of 2008. Well some of us were never happy with that particular brand of "Labour." Maybe you were. But the thing is that we're not going to get even that back. Not in a million years, not under this leader. All that remains is for you to decide who to blame for that. But at the end of the day even that doesn't matter.
