The UK’s ruling Labour Party allegedly ordered its MPs not to attend anti-racist demonstrations on Wednesday.
According to journalist Owen Jones, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Chief Whip Alan Campbell made the order “via a virtual call” on Wednesday morning.
Jones is a former member of the party and was part of its left-wing faction before quitting because of Labour’s centrist turn under Keir Starmer.
It was literally just because they didn’t want their MPs to get involved in a situation that might’ve turned violent. Can you imagine if any organisation had said, ‘Yes, we want to oblige our staff to go and maybe get their heads kicked in by Nazis’?
Liberals always have a magical excuse to not do the right thing, I’m sure this was all about “safety concerns for their staff”.
