Is the Labour Party about to split?
Seems the hard left Corbyn clan & the Centre left Starmer are not getting along.
What a surprise!

Twas the same after Foot got his arse handed to him in 83. Took ages for them to get their act together and become electable again.

Not really politics, but I found this interesting.
British supermarket chain, Co-Op, was called out by a trans activist for advertising in The Spectator. For those that don't know, The Spectator is a (in my opinion) fantastic publication which promotes thinking generating debate and refusing to tow the line. That of course means that any article where they question any sort of woke orthodoxy attracts huge amounts of criticism from the activists. Accustions (unfounded in my view) of Islamaphobia, Transphobia etc follow them routinely.
Anyway, one of the co-op online folks (likely a Bot) has said they will raise with their media folks to ensure they aren't using them again. Chairman of the spectator, one Andrew Neil, has then posted the below.
There is hope folks, there is hope.

Free speech trumps radical trans activism. Co-Op ought to avoid the Ben & Jerry’s trap.

The Spectator along with The New Statesman are two publications which give you hope that intelligent, challenging political discussion isn't actually dead.
