  When Momentum first appeared on the scene I thought they were just social media activists who would not be up to stuffing envelopes and knocking on doors to engage with voters. I got that wrong and it is right activists decide on policies going forward. My only concern is that many good MPs will be deselected for not agreeing with them on all issues.

  
  Not deselection, but reselection surely. That was the standard prior to Neil Kinnock's 'reform'. After all, if you want a representative of the party to be a representative of the people isn't it only right that the grassroots party members get to endorse, or not, their candidate democratically?
