Does Momentum do requests? If so, any chance they could deselect Yvette Cooper as a priority? Her dull, maudlin tones are bad enough when she’s lamenting a no-deal Brexit, a prospect she has done more than most to aid, but when the subject is the Labour party her funereal strains bear some of the most trite, vacant analysis around.
Eeyore MP was on the Today programme this morning and said: ‘The Labour party only succeeds if it’s a broad church. There is a real concern that we don’t look enough of a broad church at the moment and we have to be so.’
Yvette, your leader invited a bloke who said Jews eat children’s blood to tea on the Commons terrace. Your party is broad enough as it is.
Labour does not succeed when it is a broad church, other than in a rhetorical sense.
