I agree with you that Progress ought not to be outlawed. I am very much for a pluralist party with room for all shades of opinion traditionally found within the Labour Party. I hope, too, that in the spirit of encouraging pluralism, you might tone down your attacks upon those more to the left than you are.

I see Luke has just lost his seat on Labour's NEC.
Well, I'm sure he will live to fight another day.
