A message to the Corbynites:
You didn’t oppose the Tories, you opposed Labour.
Labour won because you left.
We won without you, so we don’t have to listen to you, keep you onside or win you over ever again.
You’ve manoeuvred yourself into total irrelevance.

A big Labour majority kills off the right wing “populist” politics of the last 14 years.
A small Labour majority, keeps that politics alive.
Don’t leave it to someone else. Don’t waste your vote on the Greens/SNP.

I’m often asked what I mean by “far left”.
You’re left if you think Callaghan getting 269 seats in 1979 was a disaster
You’re far left if you think Corbyn getting 262 seats in 2017 was “nearly winning”
If you’re left in the UK, you’ll be voting to make Starmer PM.

Just like Corbyn’s Labour in 2017, they see people calling out antisemitism as a form of jealousy for apparent political “success”.
People see The Greens as inoffensive. A prolonged antisemitism crisis will devastate them.

The fact that these attacks have started the same week the Green Party have had historic results makes the real motives here more than utterly blatant.
