    Ask yourself what the Blairites would want you to do, and do the opposite. Starmer is clearly trying to get the left to purge ourselves out of the party. We shouldn't give him what he wants.

        Yep. Starmer and co wouldn't be trying so hard to purge the left if they didn't perceive the left as a real threat.

        How the Democrats and Labour operate are very functionally different, though. A purge in the Democratic party isn't going to look the same as a purge in Labour. I doubt Keith wants to lose the actual votes of the left in a GE, he just doesn't want them to have any say in the party. "Vote Red No Matter Who" essentially.
