I didn’t vote Labour but I’m not important enough to be expelled

• SO Alastair Campbell gets expelled for voting according to his beliefs rather than for believing one thing and voting for another. He is mistaken for being against Brexit, but surely not for voting for what he thinks is right?
I also am a member of the Labour Party. This time I voted for the Brexit Party – not because of, but in spite of, Nigel Farage. Happily I am not important enough to be expelled.
Although you might not realise it from much of the recent reporting, many on the left see the remainers as more akin to the League of Empire Loyalists. Remember them?
They were the equivalent of Ukip around and after Suez. People whose loyalty was to their tribe. Then it was the Commonwealth. Now its Europe. There is another world out there.
