Interesting analysis but the problem, in my humble view, is not that the party machinery is under the control of the 'dominant faction'. The problem is that the dominant faction IS the Labour Party...

The Corbyn project was a historical aberration. At least for the last 40 years, the left has only been tolerated so long as it was contained within the margins of the backbenches...
In spite of overwhelmingly powerful and hostile opposition within, without and throughout, Corbyn came within inches of Number 10, forcing an unprecedented number of government u-turns & climb downs, including a Tory 2019 manifesto that matched Labour's spending pledges in 2017..
If it couldn't happen then - at that moment - I find it impossible to imagine how @UKLabour could ever be an effective vehicle for genuine social democracy.

20 years ago the US and UK governments launched an illegal war which claimed the lives of nearly a million innocent civilians. They did so on a pack of lies which served to cover up the oil profiteering and conspiracy leading up to the invasion..
Those lies were the culmination of a political culture that became closely associated with Tony Blair's New Labour government and the incestuous ties that were cemented with the Murdoch media empire...

theguardian.com/politics/blog/…
Blair came to power off the back of nearly two decades of Tory rule and a previous election defeat that went against all polling and pundit predictions, and which became infamously associated with last minute dire warnings on the front page of the Sun newspaper...

Starmer's self congratulations on the handling of antisemitism within the Labour Party is built on one of the most comprehensive cover ups in modern British politics, and a litany of lies that makes Boris Johnson look like an oracle of truth telling...
the principle lie is that the previous leadership 'interfered' in order to undermine the proper handling of antisemitism complaints. As anyone with the slightest relationship to facts will know, that is not just a lie, it is an Orwellian inversion of the truth...
here's just one of countless examples where the Corbyn leadership was trying to get a hostile, right wing party bureaucracy to act on antisemitism complaints, disclosed long before the EHRC report or even Panorama's widely discredited episode on the topic..

John Ware claims he declined to sue me because I have a "young family". I'd love to believe such an act of benevolence. But I wonder why, in that case, he has steadfastly refused to answer the sort of questions I've been putting to him for 2 years:

jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-denied…
In the above article Ware laments that his rebuttals have been 'ignored'. I have a similar frustration, beginning more or less when he refused to address my pre-publication questions for this article in 2020:

novaramedia.com/2020/07/22/bbc…
In particular, the article revealed that in spite of the BBC's repeated claims that it offered a 'full right of reply' to Labour, aspects of that reply - which spoke directly to key sequences in the programme - were ignored...

Ware has now 'responded' to myself, @OborneTweets and others in the wake of @AJIunit's #LabourFiles

But in a 6K+ word article he again appears to sidestep the questions I've been trying to put to him and @BBCPanorama for 3+ years..

thearticle.com/rewriting-hist…
He repeats that an interview with @schneiderhome forms the basis of the ‘central allegation’ made against him. Yet, somewhat incredulously, again avoids any mention of the main thrust of that interview..

which is quite clearly concerned with the way in which his programme appeared to carefully select 2 phrases/10 words from an email by Seumas Milne that was querying Jewish Labour members being ‘more than occasionally’ the subject of disciplinary action over antisemitism...

Just like the Forde Report, #LabourFiles has exposed the complete collapse of basic journalistic standards in @BBCPanorama's episode 'Is Labour Antisemitic?'

AND YET...

1) The BBC rejected every single complaint at every stage, claiming Labour was given a "full right of reply" in spite of the fact that it ignored key parts of this reply including one that was emboldened and underlined for emphasis...

novaramedia.com/2020/07/22/bbc…
2) When these complaints were escalated to OFCOM the regulator took more than 3 months decide not to even bother investigating the programme...

3) The High Court dismissed an application to review OFCOM's decision...

Euan Phillips, non-Jewish spokesperson for @LabourAgainstAS, has been exposed as the individual behind 'David Gordstein'...
On behalf of LAAS he claimed to have submitted a "dossier of evidence" about me to @UKLabour during my membership, but strangely refused to disclose this and no record of it according to @uklabour's subject access response...
Whilst many of us were aware of the willful deceit and dishonesty of groups like LAAS, the #LabourFiles still contains jaw dropping revelations of just how depraved these people were...
