We should watch out for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, when Will
Young comes second to Alf Barnshaw, the central committee member
of the Trotsky Entryist group the Revolutionary Movement for Extremely
Violent Workers’ Anger.
The whole strategy of the anti-Corbyn plotters appears to be random fury.
Every vote that goes against them is a result of “bullying”, and one MP,
Conor McGinn, told the press that Corbyn “threatened to call my Dad”.
This suggests their aim to win a general election is to go after the toddler
vote. They are going to campaign for the voting age to be reduced to
three, then issue a manifesto that goes: “It’s not faIr becoos I wozent
doing anyfink and Treeza MAy kAlld my daD just like jErmY and thats wie
I want to b pie minister.”

If Corbyn is to be defeated, it should be by debate not by a fix
But they don’t appear to have any desire to work out what might be
taking place. Because, like a married couple who scream at each other
for hours about who left the ironing board in the wrong place, clearly
there is something more to this disagreement than the rows they have
about who sent a nasty message on Twitter.
The anti-Corbyn plotters complain Corbyn’s policies make him
unelectable, so their strategy appears to be to have no policies at all.
They make no effort to explain why the support for Corbyn is an English
version of what has happened across Europe and America. Presumably
they think Bernie Sanders won millions of supporters because he
borrowed Corbyn’s arm-twisting machine, and the SNP won in Scotland
because Nicola Sturgeon threatened to call Ed Miliband’s dad.
