Enough is enough. There is plenty of voices, groups, organisations, commentators, pundits and general shit stirrers looking to purposefully or by default cause harm to the Labour Party, without it doing it to itself.
Whilst there should always be time for philosophical discussion and discourse over the direction, motivation and core values of the Labour Party, there are also moments in time when these should be shelved to deal with something bigger.
This is one of those moments. In fact it has been for a while.
At the moment, this country is being led by a group of individuals whose aim and intention is to achieve their goals, no matter what. And that will always mean that the least powerful will suffer the most.
The Parliamentary Labour Party has had more than enough time to make it clear what they think of Jeremy Corbyn. It is now time for them, and that means all of them, to put their personal political ambitions to one side, forget the grudges – real or imaginary – that have festered over the years, and concentrate on the threat that faces their constituencies.
This is not a game, so it is time to stop playing politics. It is time to do politics. As a coordinated, cohesive and cooperative opposition.
So, the sulking stops here. The back-biting, back-stabbing stops here. And that goes for the Parliamentary Labour Party, Momentum and the Trade Unions. Whilst the details may vary, whilst the route may differ, the fundamentals are common to all. And they are the same as they have always been.
As and when the fight really starts, and that could be sooner than expected, there is going to be a tough enough uphill struggle to get past the separations of recent times.
They need to heal now. All those within the Labour movement have so many common values and aims, there should be no reason why a commonality of direction cannot be achieved.
Just forget the egos. Forget the sectarian allegiances, and see what is in front of you.
It is a simple choice. Allow the Tories to set and implement the agenda, or prove why the struggle for real fairness still has a place in this country.
And if you want an indication of what could emerge, just look at what happened when the Democrats took their eyes off the ball in the US.
So, get a grip, and don’t be dicks!
