Starmmer tricked the Labour Party by
0:02
running as a continuity corbin
0:03
candidate, pledging things like wealth
0:05
taxes, free movement, and climate
0:07
reparations. But by the time he stood
0:08
for general election, this had all
0:10
undergone homeopathic levels of watering
0:12
down to become just a bland anemic
0:15
promise of change. Now that pivot to the
0:17
center returned Labor to electability,
0:19
and its chief architect was Morgan
0:21
Mweeny, and the vehicle he used to
0:24
conduct this purge was a think tank,
0:25
which was actually really a fifth column
0:27
campaign group called Labor Together. Do
0:29
not underestimate the ruthlessness with
0:31
which McWeeny took on the left of the
0:33
party to reconnect Labor with its
0:35
working class and actually much more
0:37
socially conservative roots. He despised
0:40
what he viewed as this kind of middle
0:41
class Islington left-wing ideology which
0:44
he would describe as being based on no
0:46
gender, no borders, and no queen. His
0:48
betrayal therefore has bred lasting
0:50
resentment, alienating MPs, large
0:52
section of membership and media
0:54
outriders. But the full extent of Labor
0:57
Together's deception is only now
