In Neal's case, he didn’t even need to read it, he pretty much did exactly what Alistair Campbell did and got expelled for.
An awful lot of the people complaining about a witch hunt now were rather happy when Campbell broke the same rule and was expelled
Also quite amusing that John Cruddas is a member of Labour Friends of Israel given that a certain faction have jumped on his bandwagon here
The talk of pluralism is as I've already said, utter nonsense in terms of the party's rule book, the pluralism of the Labour Party was internal not external. Also the rule about not supporting other parties has been in the rule book for a very very long time, maybe even since day one, when you know, Labour was, were told, very much more left wing.
And I'm saying this as someone who wants people like Neal in the Labour Party because he's a supporter of PR and I won’t vote Labour until they are but he still clearly broke the Labour Party's rules.
