A short thread about the Labour Party

I first joined the Labour Party in 1983. And sad to say, the current #LabourLeaks revelations do not surprise me (though the details in black and white are still shocking to read). The Party bureaucracy has not changed. It was in the '80s that the old Trade Union right wing started to work with the up and coming bureaucrats who came out of the National Organisation of Labour Students (John Mann was a big player). Then, as now, their primary motivation was to destroy the socialist left.
