You have top admire Kate's passion for LGBTQIA issues and the rights of men to identify as a woman and enter (former) women-only safe -spaces.

"carl Richardson" as a good ward councillor 
I've lived in the ward for the last 10 years
and I've never clapped eyes on him

Am hearing on the grapevine father jack has been formally deselected and there's more to follow tomorrow. Still, at least she'll keep her bungalow . . .

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I think Momentum are perfecting the technique on lowly Councillors before the move on to the likes  Kate Hoey and Margaret Hodge............

Weeding out the embarrassments? The grapevine's very, very active just now.

A tad embarrassing to de-select the Standing Mayor and Council Chairman........the clatter of larger ar**'s will be heard in the near future....

I wonder if we could see the return of a former labour leader in the near furure. ?

The Labour Party is sadly becoming increasingly detached from it's voter base in general. Now moving into it's middle class fundamentalist phase continuing the 'struggle' in detached genteel surroundings unaware the big world outside their bubble is moving on unbothered by their political fantasising.
Where did the Labour Party I knew go ?

It's happening everywhere......

Theu've come to save us. Idealistic juveniles and political hacks here to lead us workers to the bright sunlit uplands the world ad they see it. People who've never struggled or went without empathising is pointless. Working class people do not need guidance.
They're like Eskimos advising Nigerians on how to cope with an heatwave.
Replacing Olympic standard incompetents with tediously naive slogan chanters is not progress, just another blockage in the pipeline of progress.

methinks the cure could be worse than the disease

Now the initial glee has subsided can anyone explain this ejection? Was she a former Corbynite seduced by the SCAB Cabal and ousted as a traitor or did the SCABs manage to get rid of one in the enemy camp and consolidate their hold in Victoria Ward? 
She seemed far more interested in National and 'Wimmins' issues that that she was elected to do. Was it here reluctance to get involved in dog-poo/litter  and her obsession with Transgender Rights that did for her?

A clue-check the 'likes' on Katie's page (on her deselection announcement) and see if you notice who is being nice to her and  those Labour Officials notable by their absence. The 'Simms' group are not 'liking' her at all

[mk1]

Another clue as to which side booted Katie- this post explaining how you can  get rid of ' incumbents that aren't popular' by joining your Local Branch and voting them out.

The schisms within the labour group are widening daily; with battle lines are being clearly drawn, its becoming clear exactly who makes up each side's supporters.

On one level, the Cabal's potential demise is welcome ... but ... remember that cockroaches are said to be able to survive a nuclear winter. There are those in the frame who stand to lose out a hell of a lot if the balloon does go up and they ain't going to give in without a fight.

Another concern is the ability of some of the new, young Corbynites to actually do anything if they did gain ascendancy. They're so ideological that reality might come as a bit of a shock. So far they've merely proved themselves to be (semi) adept behind a keyboard. Actually, on reflection, 'prolific' might be a better description than 'adept'

In order to help explain the situation to the dimwits on the SCAB side here it is in plain English. Katie was deselected because Anth & Tom thought she had gone native. Katie fell under the spell of the corrupt ones and was deemed a traitor. Her replacement has pledged she will not deviate from the plan to shaft the SCABs.
