I know the right of the party sees it differently, but Labour is supposed to be a democratic party, where debate takes place and members are allowed to criticise and disagree with its political direction. Is that what you mean by "sniping"?

Owen Jones left Labour last year before the general election to support Green and left-wing independent candidates. He joined aged 15. That's not fickle. That's his entire adult life and more in the party. But of course he has the right to a change of heart as we all do.
