#TLDR: #MorganMcSweeney's strategy for #UKLabour was disastrously wrong, as Labour aren't bleeding any votes on the right: they are bleeding votes only on the left. This ain't rocket science.

Paul Holden, author of 'Fraud' writes in the Nerve about how Starmer's goons targeted him. The Guardian's Pippa Crerar does not come our of this account well.
