Members of the Labour Party have expressed concerns about the concentration of power in a few hands and the lack of representation in decision-making. Resignations and public unrest have been sparked by the party leader's support for Israeli tactics and his denial of party members' discontent. This highlights the problem of party politics, which discourage independent thinking and create echo chambers.

have complained that the hierarchy and decision-making process has been in too small a number of hands. Complained too that the National Executive Committee is no longer fully elected or representative of members’ views and priorities.

I watched the entire GRR debate and ­several things became all too clear. One was the failure of Labour members to ­support amendments they knew to be ­important, because the word had come down that the then party line had to be toed. Another was the contribution of Tory MSP Jamie Greene . Now I can’t imagine he and I agree about very much politically, if anything at all. Most certainly not the imperative to support self-ID.

Yet, however belatedly, his party ­realised what a poor fit he was for the top job. With Liz Truss, they didn’t hang about nearly as long, though the queue for her shtick at the Tory Party ­conference suggests many grassroots ­supporters still think her more durable than a ­supermarket lettuce. Thus America finds itself in the ­unenviable situation of likely having a contest between two old white men – one of whom is bed-blocking talent and the other of whom might be campaigning from the clink, if justice prevails.

But that imperative surely can’t survive a circumstance where it becomes ­necessary to turn a blind eye to yet more grotesque human suffering. It’s a commonplace to lay this ­illiberalism at the foot of social media. It’s more widespread than that. Trolls are no longer just keyboard warriors whose “bravery” is predicated on their ­anonymity.
