Moderate MPs need to quit lost Labour right away

And so it begins. Two Labour MPs suffered significant defeats last night at the hands of the Trots who have taken over Britain’s opposition party. This is a step towards deselection for Labour moderate MPs who should have quit last year. Now, if they do leave to set up an independent grouping in the Commons, it will be said that they acted because they were about to lose their seats in a purge and not on the grounds of principled opposition to Corbyn and the Marxist maniacs.

Joan Ryan, for now the MP for Enfield North, lost a vote of confidence 94-92. Incredibly, the private meeting was filmed and broadcast live on Iranian state TV, the English language propaganda channel Press TV on which Jeremy Corbyn used to have a starring role.

Hatred of Israel, and love of the Iranian regime, and the Iranian revolutionaries who fund terrorism, is one of the defining characteristics of the true Corbynista.

That means Ryan is a target because she is chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

Corbyn critic Gavin Shuker, temporarily keeping a seat warm in Luton South until he is purged, lost a vote of confidence too for bravely daring to criticise the Labour leadership’s anti-Semitism on BBC Newsnight.

How should they and other moderate MPs – patriotic, decent, mainstream Labour people – now respond to the beginning of the deselection drive?

It would have been better to leave some time ago, for the reasons I described earlier. But there is never going to be a perfect moment. The emergency is now moral, not tactical. The threat is that Britain could end up with an anti-semitic government run by a small band of fanatics – puppeteering a dim-witted leader – dedicated to crushing liberty and economic freedom at home and defeating the West abroad.

Labour’s leader is clearly anti-semitic and he is surrounded by Communists (really), Putin supporters and enemies of the West. Staying in under the Labour whip enables him. Leaving, splitting the mainstream left off, clearly terrifies the smarter Corbynistas because it could deprive them of the seats they need in a close election if the breakaway faction splits the vote locally and appeals to traditional Labour voters.

The Labour party is lost to the far left. This is a national tragedy and one day it might from the rubble be rebuilt or reclaimed. The takeover is so comprehensive that this cannot be done soon.

Moderate MPs should leave and with all their might do everything to screw up the chances of Corbyn, McDonnell and Milne getting their hands on the levers of power.
