For those who might still be understandably tempted to send in their Labour Party membership card with a “please purge me” message; “it would be an honour to join Ken Loach” etc, comes a very compelling essay from Jeremy Gilbert — Why we shouldn’t leave the Labour Party.
Published in the December 2021 edition of Momentum’s newsletter, The Educator, Gilbert argues eloquently and at length that leaving Labour “would be a catastrophic mistake.” It is, he says, exactly what the party’s right-wing leadership want. Why hand them that victory?
We may want to quit in order to send a message of solidarity with Jeremy Corbyn (still without the Labour whip but not actually purged from the party like many others), or to object to the latest announcement regarding Labour’s opposition to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
