Maybe it’s a good idea to start building bridges with all the labour voters who have jumped from Labour to the Greens instead of spending the week calling them antisemites and racists?

It’s shocking Kier let him do it. When is he going to resign?

It’s genuinely disturbing how casually people across the political spectrum treat something as serious as antisemitism. Even figures like Luke Akehurst, who claim to care about it, often seem to highlight the issue more for factional ambition than out of real concern.

>Other speakers include Caroline Lucas, the former Green party leader; James Meadway, the head of the Green-aligned thinktank Verdant; Vince Cable, the former Liberal Democrat cabinet minister; and the Lib Dem MP Roz Savage.
>The event is designed to show how progressives can work across party barriers, something Burnham has long advocated.
Oh, how terrible.

This is such a non-story. It’s a CROSS-PARTY event. Labour would be doing themselves no favours by not sending a representative. The left really need to stop dividing amongst themselves. They’re going to need a coalition when the GE comes around the way things are looking.

Luke akehurst is upset about it and the guardian reports in uncritically like the whole party opposes it. No wonder Labour will be getting a spanking tomorrow.

“Sparks anger” from the one notoriously right wing MP who is the one who fed this story to the Guardian in the first place.
The Labour government and its supporters are genuinely anti-politics. No propositions, no vision for the country, just dishonest and nasty attacks against anyone to their left. These people are factional fanatics, they should not be running a country.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but I 100% do not see the appeal of Burnham.
I have no interest in voting for him, or a party led by him.

Burnham defecting to the Green Party then running for a Greater Manchester seat and winning would be fucking hilarious.
That would genuinely be the ultimate middle-finger to Keir Starmer.
