These are less likely to arise when the organisation is broad rather than factional - such as a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tradeunion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tradeunion</span></a> or the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fabiansociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fabiansociety</span></a> .

Norbury & Woodsmoor Labour<p>Rachel Reeves: It is a scandal that those with the least are often forced to pay the most for their energy.

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 4, 1884: The Fabian Society was founded in London with the goal of attaining socialism through gradualist and reformist tactics. Some of the earliest members of the Fabian Society included George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Emmeline Pankhurst and Bertrand Russell. Some of the early causes they championed included a national minimum wage, creation of a universal healthcare system and the abolition of hereditary peerages. However, they also supported eugenics. Their logo is a tortoise, representing their strategy for a slow, imperceptible transition to socialism. Their original coat of arms depicted a 'wolf in sheep’s clothing' to represent their preferred method for achieving this goal. Ironic considering the modern British Labour Party evolved from the Fabians. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fabiansociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fabiansociety</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a></p>
