YESTERDAY saw the resignation of yet another Labour MP nobody had really heard of, Alison McGovern, from a child poverty policy review group that she hadn’t even started yet.

The trigger for this was John McDonnell referring to Progress, of which McGovern is the chair, as a “right-wing clique within the Labour Party,” which is probably the mildest comment the shadow chancellor has made about Blair’s heirs in his entire parliamentary career.

The predictable and usual narrative from the bourgeois media followed of a Labour Party “in crisis,” almost as if they’d been waiting for another opportunity to regurgitate the same op-ed pieces they’ve been running every weekend for the last four months.
