Back in the good old days, rivals and opponents got an ice pick, then it was the false or trumped up charges and removal. That was socialism in its 20th century heyday.
Corbyn was wiped out and the far left are desperate to hang on to their political agenda by having a continuity candidate/ leader to carry on where comrade Corbyn left off. Their candidate, Rebecca Long Bailey - was trailing a poor third behind Northern MP Lisa Nandy and metropolitan lawyer about town, Keir Starmer. But then it got worse:
Rebecca Long-Bailey is trailing in last place in the Labour leadership contest among the ordinary voters who the party most needs to impress, an exclusive poll reveals today.
The Left-winger dubbed “Continuity Corbyn” has even fallen behind Emily Thornberry when it comes to public support, found Ipsos MORI, despite being backed by some trade union leaders and Labour branches.
The findings are a major setback to the Long-Bailey bandwagon, which started out as favourite to inherit the Labour crown from mentor Jeremy Corbyn. Her campaign failed to gather momentum amid divisions among supporters and internal rows over tactics.

Tactics? In the #themaswell era it's a digital ice pick.
Senior figures reported Sir Keir's team to the Information Commissioner's Office after they raised concerns Rebecca Long-Bailey's team had potentially gained access to party members' contact details.
According to the BBC, two members of Sir Keir's team have been accused of "data scraping", effectively hacking into the party's data base in order to canvas members during the leadership race.
But a spokesperson for Keir Starmer’s campaign said: "We categorically reject these nonsensical allegations and are incredibly disappointed that they have been leaked to the media.
"We are still awaiting the party’s formal response to the serious concerns we and others had about access to Labour Party membership data."
The row demonstrates how bitter the battle between bookies' favourite Sir Keir and Mrs Long-Bailey - seen as the leadership's favoured candidate - has become.
A senior Labour source told PoliticsHome: "The Labour Party under Jennie Formby and Karie Murphy’s sectarian leadership have reported Keir’s team for a story which showed that RLBs team had unauthorised access to the membership system.
"Rather than respond to the complaint or investigate they’ve reported Keir’s team to the ICO and then leaked it to the BBC.
"This is a politically-motivated attack trying to use the resources and standing of the national party to effect the result of the Labour leadership.

And they really expect us to vote for people like them. Delusional.
