McVey: Momentum is the new Militant
Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2018 10:53 am
Esther McVey has accused Momentum, the Corbyn-supporting group, of being a “modern-day Militant”.
The work and pensions secretary, who grew up in Liverpool in the 1980s, when the city council was taken over by the hard-left faction, said: “Just as night follows day, the havoc that Militant caused in Liverpool could be brought to bear on the whole country.”
McVey will tomorrow tell the Conservative conference in Birmingham that she joined the party to “stand against the ugly, destructive, Marxist Militant socialists of the past”. Her attack comes days after Derek Hatton, 70, the former deputy leader of Liverpool council, said he had rejoined the Labour Party, 33 years after being expelled as part of Militant.
Last week, Labour frontbencher Dawn Butler quoted the faction’s slogan — “Better to break the law than break the poor” — at Labour’s conference in Liverpool.

I don't think that the comments of a modern day lying, sneering, murdering Nazi hold much weight.
