Craig Murray... Archived Message Posted by Ken Waldron on July 24, 2022, 9:07 pm, in reply to "Re: Oborne: Labour's Forde report is devastating on factional war against Corbyn" "...Forde then attempts to maintain “balance” and treat all “factions” as equally authoritative and morally valid. That is the great failing of his report, and can be described in one sentence: Forde denies democracy. At no stage does the Forde report accept that Corbyn’s election by the mass membership gave him a democratic mandate that the paid HQ staff were obliged to follow. Rather Forde sees the HQ staff as guardians of a Blairite tradition that had an entirely equal right to determine events within the Labour Party, despite its leadership candidates being overwhelmingly rejected – several times – by the membership. Forde’s entire report is undermined by this false equivalence – the notion that both “factions” were equally responsible for the problems, and deserved equal weight and consideration." https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2022/07/the-forde-report-and-the-labour-right/ Message Thread: Oborne: Labour's Forde report is devastating on factional war against Corbyn - johnlilburne July 23, 2022, 11:13 am Re: Oborne: Labour's Forde report is devastating on factional war against Corbyn - scrabb July 24, 2022, 12:40 pm Re: Oborne: Labour's Forde report is devastating on factional war against Corbyn - Ken Waldron July 24, 2022, 2:40 pm Re: Oborne: Labour's Forde report is devastating on factional war against Corbyn - scrabb July 24, 2022, 4:14 pm Craig Murray... - Ken Waldron July 24, 2022, 9:07 pm It's a generic manager manoeuvre - Keith-264 July 24, 2022, 4:46 pm What you hadn't reckoned with was Corbyn's gutless equivocations....nm - Keith-264 July 24, 2022, 4:48 pm   Searching
