The left will eat itself – Easter special

This week, there has been a chemical attack in Syria, Labour decided not to expel Ken Livingstone from the party and Michael Howard suggested that Britain could take military action if necessary to protect Gibraltar. So, what are the hard left protesting? A left-wing magazine daring to criticise Corbyn.

Yes, Momentum Camden will tonight take to the streets to protest the great injustice of our time: a critical press. After last week’s New Statesman cover piece called for a new opposition leader, Corbynites are uniting in London to ‘demand an issue of the New Statesman which is fair and balanced’. Among their demands: 30 pages must be ‘given to voices who support the Labour leadership and its policy programme, to provide the counter arguments to those made in last week’s magazine’.

Haven’t the Corbynistas heard of a ‘free press’?

Update 1: New Statesman staff are being sent home early so they don’t have to face the protesters.
