(14,734 posts)6. Labour shake-up successfully completes purge of voters from the party
http://newsthump.com/2016/09/24/labour-shake-up-successfully-completes-purge-of-voters-from-the-party/
The Labour Party has successfully completed a purge of a radical right-wing group calling itself the electorate this week.
The group, composed of voters, were considered too right-wing to fit with the future direction of the party and had to go.
For Labour to be a true, radical, socialist alternative then the voters just had to go, spokesman Simon Williams told us.
They just keep coming back to us and weve had to keep driving them away again, but this time were confident were rid of them for good.

I can't see May losing a no confidence vote. That would mean Conservative MPs voting to topple her.
