A FEW days ago I made the gut-wrenching decision to resign my membership of the Labour Party after 11 years.
I had wrestled with this decision for 13 months. Even longer actually, because I came very close to resigning in the summer of 2019, after the party had adopted a more full-throated Remain policy, a policy I was both morally and politically opposed to.
It was only my strong support of Jeremy Corbyn and the rest of our policy platform that kept me from leaving.
