The Left do like a good purge

'Labour's annual conference has voted to make it easier for local party members to deselect sitting MPs.

Until now, Labour MPs only faced a reselection contest if 50% of a constituency's local branches and affiliated unions voted for it in a so-called "trigger ballot".

Delegates in Liverpool voted for that threshold to be reduced to 33%.

The deselection campaign is seen by some Labour MPs as an attempt to "purge" critics of Jeremy Corbyn.'

The Left do enjoy a good purge. Maybe re-education camps will follow. Then labour camps for the enemies of the glorious revolution and the Great Leader? 

The BBC report approvingly here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45621354

For how this sort of thing ends I suggest One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich or any number of historical books about The Gulag. 

The problem here is that there's a number of Labour Party high ups who would charitably meet Lenin's description of 'useful idiots' and maybe some who might be better described as, in the words of Trotsky, 'fellow travellers' .
