Here’s a disturbing thought:

Back in 2016, when Jeremy Corbyn was forced to defend his position as leader of the Labour Party and win a second election, there was a huge amount of talk by supporters of the Conservative Party that they were going to use the cheap, £3 membership fee to become party members and vote for him – in the belief that he would lead Labour to ruin.

He did become leader – although whether that was with the help of these entryists, I don’t know. My recollection is that then-general secretary Iain McNicol banned anybody who had joined the party after a certain date from voting, in a panic that the result would be an even bigger landslide for Mr Corbyn than it eventually was.

Put yourself in the position of a Tory entryist. Having become a Labour Party member (and, presumably, eluded checks intended to ensure that fakes like them were not allowed access), how would you go about undermining it – considering the fact that there was a row brewing over half-baked claims of anti-Semitism in the party, stoked by ‘moderate’ (right-wing) Labour MPs who still wanted to remove Mr Corbyn and by members of organisations that disliked the Labour leader’s support for a peaceful solution to the Israel/Palestine question?

Considering the above, I wonder how many of the anti-Semitism cases that have been upheld by Labour’s compliance unit involved Tory entryists?

It’s just a thought, I know.

But it should disturb every Labour Party member.
