I genuinely find the bad faith criticisms of this article utterly astonishing. I joined Labour when I was 15, and backed it under every single leader, while believing that the left should fight for its ideas and policies in a party which is the only game in town. https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/1246397325540458498

If you're on the Labour left, you want a Labour government even if whoever is in charge isn't of your own politics. Those portraying this basic principled position - in this case, wanting to be a critical friend - as grifting or unprincipled do not understand the Labour left.
