• I CAN only imagine that members of Camden’s Labour Party increasingly wince every time they read the New Journal in fear of what has become the weekly letter from Rebecca Shirazi lashing out at someone while appealing for calm.

Since the local elections we’ve had letters airing the dirty linen of the Labour Party every week – each full of passive aggressive attacks on her colleagues and denial of the grim behaviour that others talk about.

You must question why some­one would choose to do personalised attacks against their colleagues in public; but I guess that has more to do with the mentality of some Corbynistas.

Having read so many letters from Ms Shirazi on her views on why the Conservatives needed to select better candidates – I did a simple search on her.

It appears that she went to an expensive private school in rural Herefordshire. While having no problem with this, it does strike me as a huge double standard that she attacks others for their background when being privileged herself.

I’ve voted Labour all my life. But the petty, angry, passive aggression of Ms Shirazi and her
so-called socialist chums is deeply unappealing.

Instead of telling us what we should do, per­haps she should learn the life skill called listening.
