The UK’s ruling Labour Party allegedly ordered its MPs not to attend anti-racist demonstrations on Wednesday.
According to journalist Owen Jones, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Chief Whip Alan Campbell made the order “via a virtual call” on Wednesday morning.
Jones is a former member of the party and was part of its left-wing faction before quitting because of Labour’s centrist turn under Keir Starmer.
Liberals always have a magical excuse to not do the right thing, I’m sure this was all about “safety concerns for their staff”.
It’s obviously not ‘the right thing’ to put MPs in danger. It really is not that long ago that one of these thugs murdered a Labour MP.
I’m not a liberal, incidentally, but it’s probably not the greatest idea for the left to adopt the language of American fascists. Reading the rest of your contributions to this thread, it’s clearly not the only thing you’ve decided the fascists are right about, though.
