Just watched C4 news - female member of national exec almost in tears over harassment and intimidation - apparently requested a secret ballot because of fears for personal safety - Corbyn wouldn't give it.
Angela Eagle has bricks chucked through her window.
Misogynist trolling of female corbyn opponents rife online.
Who (or what) has got hold of Labour? I am not a labour supporter but friends with many - honourable and decent without exception. And also, now, turning their backs on their party.
What is going on?

I am a member of the Labour Party. Many of my friends are. None of us would ever harass, troll or intimidate anyone. I haven't got a clue what it going on but I think it is a very small minority of people who are doing this.

One word. Momentum.

The sooner Corbyn and his cronies are gone the better.

I don't know any labour supporters who are like this. But I'm not sure I accept they are a small minority. the membership profile has changed, and this behaviour seems to have come with it, and is now very widespread - unless it was always there and not reported before?
I was actually quite shaken by what I saw on C4 news. This lady has served the labour party for 20+ years. What she was describing was happening at the highest level - the national exec. It shocked me that the opposition has sunk to this level.

Labour is doing what it always does, preferring to fight among itself rather than fighting the Tories.
