THE other night, I attended a Momentum event where the key speaker was a Socialist Campaign Group MP. When I was invited along by a dear friend, who is still an active Labour member, I expressed some reservations, having resigned my party membership a while ago.
She reassured me that ex-members are welcome in Momentum now, so I went along as a non-party and non-Mometum member, primarily to reconnect with some people I had not seen since before the pandemic, but also because I was curious as to how a Labour MP would address a group of people who were not all members of the Labour Party.
Would they get why we’d left? Would they still value our input? The answer appeared to be no on both counts.
