The REAL reason Your Party failed: EGO!
It's just like how Corbyn handled Brexit.
He cared more about his socialist ideology, than about the objectives of socialism: Working class well-being.
Again they're putting personality over class unity.

Why did "Your Party" REALLY fail? (Trigger Warning)

On this day in 1939, while allied with Nazi Germany, Russia invaded Finland.
Roughly 11% of the country was eventually occupied by Russians, and since 1947 has remained so.

1 December 1942 | A transport of 532 Norwegian Jews deported from Bergen arrived at #Auschwitz. SS doctors sent 186 men to be registered in the camp. The remaining 346 people were murdered in a gas chamber.
Among them were Olga Wulff and her daughter Doris.

Yes. They cry that they’re studiously non-partisan but their political editor takes it upon himself to essentially accuse the Labour chancellor of lying. Something that would simply *never* have happened - did not happen - with the Tories in power, when there was far more ammunition.

Mason declares that in his judgement we have been misled by Rachel Reeves.
It feels unprecedented that the BBC has made a "call" on a story, and is something that was absent throughout the terms of notorious liars such as Johnson.
There were certainly no "calls" about Brexit lies.
