Unite's Sparticist League

Including, among such others as Bob Wareing:

Chris Bryant, Alan Milburn, Hilary Armstrong, Fraser Kemp, Hilary Benn, Ruth Kelly, Shaun Woodward, James Purnell, Gisela Stuart, Sion Simon, Liam Byrne, Bob Ainsworth, John Spellar, Patricia Hewitt, Barbara Follett, Tessa Jowell, Stephen Timms, Tony McNulty, David Lammy, John Denham, Jim Knight.

Yes, an old Trotskyist bookseller and drug-dealer. Yes, Tony Benn's son, if that matters. Yes, an old stalwart of the International Marxist Group. Yes, an old apologist (though, strikingly, so to speak, not the other one) for the Paedophile Information Exchange and Paedophile Action for Liberation. And yes, an old fundraiser for the IRA.

But also, for example, a member of Opus Dei, a former Tory MP, a former Murdoch columnist and Telegraph reporter, two members of the Henry Jackson Society, the legendary Ex-Spellar, a prominent Evangelical, dear old Hilary Armstrong, and James Purnell.
