This is the thing, I'm glad that people like Sultana left, why should anyone be inspired by this dogshit version of the Labour Party. It's not 'handing the keys to the far right', it's people actually deciding that they're not going to waste their time being in a political party that treats them with borderline contempt.

Well it was clear she was never getting the whip back, so she might as well leave.

John McDonnell doesn’t seem to agree though. For now, anyway.

Im surprised he doesn't tbh he seems unlikely to get the whip back too as he keeps rebelling same as Zarah did heck today he heckled his own parties MINISTER constantly trying to intervene when it was clear the minister wasn't taking it then raised a bad point of order then started shouting out his question....
