The Labour Party might be Marxist - but it's Groucho, not Karl

I don’t think I know Ben Crawford, but apparently in 2014 and 2015 he “showed support for the Green Party on Twitter.”  Which is why he has now been sent this letter from the Labour Party:



As the late, great, Groucho Marx once said: “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”
My advice to Ben is “keep trying.”  Labour Party leadership elections seem likely to become annual events.  The first time I applied, in the East End of London in the 1970s, I was told: “sorry, we’re full.”
