  • Calling an imaginary person a "cunt" on social media (the very first example), not so much.

    The sentence could be taken to mean that all Blairites are cunts.

  • Didn't read it that way, but you're right. I can see it being read to mean that. But still doesn't say that.

    There's also the inclusion of a tweet noting that the neither Labour nor the Tories had included a policy for building more council homes. Why would that be included as a reason to expell members?

    That would seem to fall foul of the rule that members shouldn't issue voting recommendations to other parties? (I realise the recommendation is somewhat implicit here, but I can understand how the party would perceive this as letting the side down.)

    I'm sure other parties have similar rules and that strikes me as fair enough (although it's partly because of that sort of rule that I'd never join a political party).
