as the Labour Party is desperately attacking the Conservative party from the right
It's hilarious, and a real indicator of just how fucking useless the Conservatives are. It's so fucking embarrassing that, even as an act, fucking Labour can legitimately attack them from the right. They actually basically blamed the Conservatives for not being conservative enough, and for not stopping Labour's own insanity. 'Hey, you fucks, it's your job to stop us from being so insane, but you're too retarded to stop us. So, uh, vote Labour or something.'
God, UK politics just seem like a clusterfuck, even by American standards.
It means that the Fabians really did get the message: The Trotskyists went to hard, and they are causing blowback. The Left did the same thing in the late 80's and 90's (which is why it felt like a unified peace). After pushing hard on Socialism in the 70's, they re-tooled, pushed corporate aesthetics, a bit of right-wing narratives about crime, and proceeded to make everyone think that they were never rabid communists in the first place.
Ever wonder why the Leftwing party in America stopped being represented by the universally recognized Leftist red color? You ever think that might have to do with Nixon and Reagan winning the largest electoral landslides in history and the Dems trying desperately to re-frame the entire argument so that they didn't appear as Socialist as they are?
If the Fabians succeed, the populist revolt dies. That's how they work. It's what the term means. They are highly competent, and very dangerous.

It's far more dangerous than just funny.
