At the Labour conference this weekend, the antidemocratic and reactionary General-Secretary, David Evans, has been illegitimate re-elected due to massive suspensions of elected left-wing and pro-democracy conferernce delegates before the vote.

The only conclusion that can be taken from that, and from Keir's Starmer new essay in which he calls on Labour to utterly abandon socialism, is that the Labour Party no longer has any reason to exist and will likely die out in the next few years.

If the voters wanted Keir Starmer to drive the Left totally out of his party, Labour would be in the lead. The fact that it continues to trail the Tories prove they never wanted that and that Labour can never win after doing this.

The party of the workers and the poor no longer exists. In UK politics, hope no longer exists, and life no longer exists.

No one but Tories are celebrating this.
