That sort of sentiment is pretty common on social media ... it’s been common enough on more traditional discussion platforms like this one for many years. What’s changed specifically with regards to the Labour Party is that the hard left got close enough to power for long enough that there are people in high-profile positions in the parliamentary party who lack the sense to differentiate between their own party’s lunatic fringe and mainstream sentiment. Wrong-Daily, I think, just saw something that 1. Slagged off Tories; 2. Bigged up Labour; and 3. Said something suitably woke about BLM. Beyond that I doubt she’s sufficiently well connected to the real world to understand, even now, what was so wrong with it.
