Faced with the ever-increasing likelihood of a Reform government modelled on Trumpian authoritarianism, the response from some of our leading leftwing figures has descended into farce. Harriet Williamson writes
Eh god knows what happened there and how probably some moles catalysed the situation but people should have been able to get over themselves to unite for the greater good. If indeed it was the case that one wing of the party was heavily oppressing the other, then I really can’t tell how a practical solution could be found to that. But destroying the party from within rarely seems like a good option, especially given that Reform UK is gaining so much traction thanks to the seat warmer Keir Starmer.
