Thinking we need to steal a term from the Republicans, of all people, RINO. It means Republican in Name Only, as in you once didn't want to murder poor people and blame immigrants for your inadequacy but still claim to be a republican.
We need LINO, Labour in Name only, as in you wouldn't willingly do anything to help the worker class and will line up behind their enemies without even hesitating.

Thread, long, about Boris Johnson and the UK's COVID19 response.
TLDR is: Johnson is borderline-innumerate to the point of confusing percentages and fractions and got his information from the newspapers. And six months into the pandemic he'd neglected to educate himself about the scientific basics. And a lot of people died as a direct result of his misbegotten policy decisions. https://mas.to/@kityates/109958429104381225
Turns out the existence of an "alpha" wolf is a myth.
It was based on old/bad experiments, conducted when unrelated wolves were thrown together in captivity.
In actual wild wolves, packs are just families. There's no dominant alpha battling for the top spot -- and in the rare cases there is, it's an alpha *female* wolf.
Insert obvious implications for the use of this term in human societies.

Keir Starmer’s Labour has kicked out 60+ left wing Jewish members. Do you have any comment as to whether this constitutes antisemitism? And if not, why? https://twitter.com/jewishlabour/status/1631168111729582080
