Tarry, Rash Wanton?

The sacking of Sam Tarry is your daily confirmation that the Labour Party has a death wish. Even only a few losses to abstention would be enough to cost it many seats or the chance of regaining many more.

The kind of people who would have objected to what Tarry had done would never have voted Labour in a million years. Well, apart from the couple of thousand or so, if that, who were Labour MPs, Labour MPs' staffers, Labour Party staffers, and associated policy wonks.

Again, though, those people have to vote Labour. They are the only people who do. They are on course to be the only people who did.
