Strange article in Guardian by @owenhatherley goves the impression I am calling for Milne, Murphy etc to be expelled from Labour post-election. I called for them to be removed as advisers in May. I was right (see election result)... 
Now on the use of "Stalinist" -if someone thinks the USSR was a great place and tends to parrot Kremlin disinformation, or wears a Stalin badge, or runs a Facebook page making light of the Gulag... I think Stalinist is a good description...
... and as I warned in May: British Stalinism has an unenviable record - it destroys every movement it ever gains control of. Now for the word "Trotskyist"... I was a Trotskyist in the 80s/90s but that's not the reason I opposed Brexit!...
... in fact my books are a sustained critique of both Bolshevism and the classic Marxist theory of proletarian agency... the reason so many anti-authoritarians are anti-Brexit is because it's a right wing nationalist project (see election result)...
... In the leadership contest there should be no demands to expel ppl ... but the actual Stalinists who screwed up a historic opportunity for the left need to own politically what they did. Start here: paulmason.org/wp-content/upl…
And BTW: the "questionable second referendum policy" was not the sole property of the Labour centre - if you remember rightly it was Corbyn/Unite/Momentum Lexiteers who *pushed it through conference* on a show of hands.
