THIS new film by Maxwell and Hashim, for Merseyside Pensioners Association TV, tells the chilling story of what’s happening in Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party. It focuses on the situation in Liverpool, but is vitally important and essential viewing for the whole labour movement.
In the words of Dr Kevin Bean, one of numerous socialists hounded out of the party since April 2020, the Anatomy of a Witch Hunt is about stifling opposition to capitalism.
The film opens with a warning: “Flash photography and footage of politicians lying.” Despite the seriousness of the subject, Maxwell and Hashim, long-time party members who have both also been expelled, handle it with a light touch. There is an element of the absurd seeing Starmer and other careerists shamelessly abandoning the policies and people that got them elected.
