A Left source also suggested there was a “fear” that what happened to both Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott - suspended from the parliamentary party, and likely to be prevented from standing as Labour candidates - could happen to others.

Wasn’t such a broadchurch of ideas and principles in the Corbyn era, was it?
Ideological purity over any kind of common sense.
I dunno, that first shadow cabinet had a decent spread, especially when you compare it to what we’ve got at the moment. Anything to the left of Ed Milliband has been forcibly removed from the front bench.
Corbyn wasn’t a great leader, but the way in which certain factions within the party went after him from the word go is a stain on what is supposed to be a democratic institution.
And the reason why we are so desperate for a AV/PR type system.
If we did then the different shades of each side could legitimately find their own place and voice.
Yes that means that you give a small voice to those you may not want to, but you also get a small voice yourself. That’s democracy.
Stating the obvious is hard for some to accept. Labour and the Tories are purely about protectionism.
