Momentum do not have any flag to be fair, and while many old time militant types are drawn to it, many more are other members are not old enough to remember who Militant were. Lansman imposed the rule that to be a member of Momentum, you also had to be a member of the Labour Party, precisely to try and keep out those old time expelled members. Some local groups ignored the rule. Momentum is a bit more diverse than those on the outside realise. It is certainly not stuffed with Stalinists but nor is it a truly democratic organisation either. That is the problem. And that is why it is easy for militant types to power grab in the way they have.

I genuinely don't know how Emily Thornbury thinks she has a shot at the leadership. And if she actually does have real shot, then I clearly know even less than that.


In addition to her embarrassing performances anytime I've ever seen her interviewed. Her clear and evidential disdain for 'traditional' labour voters is pretty unavoidable....

Mahoody. of course Momentum have a logo, like pretty much every organisation does. So what? I was responding to the false claim that Momentum had a flag with a hammer and sickle on it. At least try to follow the logic of the conversation!


As for entryism, of course it is a problem. But how can an expelled member of the Labour Party also be a member of Momentum. The answer is they can't. That is the point.


The Tory Party have also suffered the problem of entryism. UKIP members have been encouraged to join the Tories for two years now, to help Boris become leader. So both parties are being taken over by factional interests that do not represent a majority consensus, and that is a preptty dire place for UK politics to be in.

Sorry, I'm not following, I know this post was directed at someone else, but whose gender are you are referring to as being assumed, Marcella?

Some of you lefties remind me of arch lefty Donnachadh McCarthy ex-Southwark councillor for Peckham. As soon as one of the Tory councillors spoke about some issue in their area he actually said 'I don't know anything about this but I am against whatever he said'..... Dominic Raab is actually Foreign Secretary and has spent 20 years in the foreign office as well as other relevant qualifications...I expect you would prefer that other ex-foreign office employee James Abbott Thompson!

On Raab what you say is exactly the opposite of what this Oxford Politics lecturer and former attache says LOL :)




On James Abbott Thompson he's quite obviously and sadly mentally ill and if they can't care for him in the community they need something akin to the old hospitals (I worked in one near Swansea as IT staff in the early 90s and there were 100s of people that had been there years resident - wonder where they are now). I guess he'll be found incapable of pleading.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
