I hope the Labour Party member named here doesn't mind me naming her (I don't know how to hide her name). It's hard to believe the reason given for rejecting her application to vote in the leadership contest. She tweeted - once - in favour of the Green Party.
In case the Labour executive has forgotten: the Greens are not Labour's enemy. In fact, the Greens have been extending the hand of friendship for a while now and their approaches have met with silence. The enemy is the current Conservative government, with its plans to adopt TTIP and fracking, reduce or cut out altogether social security support for disabled people and hand every possible element of the state to the private companies to which quite a few of their politicians are linked. Watch your NHS disappear, folks, but it won't be the Greens that will do that.
There have been divisions in the Labour Party many times before now and it has taken people of courage and ability to unite the party after each split. Is there anyone out there who can rescue Labour from this chaos?
