    For a myriad of reasons I have resigned from the British Labour party sinkov and cancelled my membership. I feel a whole lot better for it too!

    Mind you, with some of your views I am surprised you didn't leave yonks ago.

    It was a heart breaking decision for me 1959-60. The Labour Party has been my political home for more than 50 years, but it no longer represents the sort of democratic socialism I want for this country.

    I could go on, but I won't. A bullet in the back of the head would be preferable to voting for Farage, but thank you very much for asking.

    On a serious note BT was it the Louise Ellman resignation that prompted you to leave?

    Shame mate that as sincerely I really did admire your fight for the cause so to speak.

    You never know it may change one day, though the way politics is in general at the minute it could take many years.

    I witness division, acrimony, rancour, and misogyny at just about every level of the Labour Party. Momentum is the equivalent for me of inviting cancer to invade your body.

    The Trade Unions in my own opinion no longer represent the British working class, yet continue to exert enormous influence in a political party that was ostensibly instigated by and for the British proletariat.

    When women and particularly Jewish women, feel unsafe to be in the same political party as me, I can no longer feel comfortable and be a part of it.

    Don't worry about me though Army88, the struggle for equality will continue. I have joined the Socialist Equality Party and feel at home already!

    Well BT I know it must have been a wrench for you to leave the Labour Party but you can’t say your colleagues on this board didn’t try to warn you what was happening. The influence of Momentum over all matters and I can see local loyal activists being passed over in the selection progress as Parliamentary Labour candidates in favour of Corbyn acolytes. The lack of any rapport between Labour at council level and the electorate. Radcliffe West is neither the start nor the end. Hope happier days lie ahead for you in the SEP.

    Could I ask the same question as army BT, it seems more than coincidence that you've followed her out of the door. I don't know Louise Ellman, but I've known of her since Mrs S used to have meetings with her when she was on the LCC Education Committee a long time ago, I've followed her career with interest ever since, she must have been a Labour Party member as long as you, and coming from over your way I'm sure you must know her.

    I have to agree with army as well, it's a shame that you've felt it necessary to leave, we can often be miles apart on politics, but I recognise a good, decent Labour man when I see one, and it's an ominously sad day for the Labour Movement when people like you and Louise Ellman feel it's time to walk away.

    I know Louise personally and it saddens me enormously that a longstanding and valued Labour MP and a good old fashioned activist like me no longer feel the Labour Party represents their core beliefs.

    Believe me, we are not on our own.
