Sorry for sharing the odious DDN, but here is another reason why proposed unity isn’t always a virtue:
BREAKING: Starmer Tells Left to Leave & Corbyn Won't Stand:
"This reveals Starmer as dishonest because he promised unity, knowing he'd get rid of the left, and personal treachery: he stood alongside Jeremy Corbyn knowing he was going to put a dagger in his back."
Just like with intransigent Republicans the only way to get Loach and co to accept a unity with the rest of Labour is to say that anti-Semitism claims and such are a smear and Saint Jeremy is a great humans rights campaigner we should all follow as an example. Obviously this is impossible for a Labour Party which respects the results of the EHRC. However, it’s what the commentators on this part of the left, who try and present themselves as reasonable in the face of mainstream malice, would only accept for unity. Just as with many Republicans and their demands for unity. Neither Starmer or Biden should go that far to appease the opposition as to lose their intended purpose, alienate their own voter base or accept racism, and if that brings a lack of unity, then maybe it’s not them to blame.
There is an argument here about how Starmer sold himself, but it’s the lesser evil than accepting anti-Semitism or anti-Semites.
