1. Referring to the Militant tendency, Oliver Kamm of The Times wrote in
October 2015: "Like the Trotskyists of a generation ago Momentum is an entrist organisation that’s parasitic on the Labour host. This time, though, the far left has managed to gain control of the party structures and is intent on making life tough for Labour MPs".[23] However, Momentum issued a clear denial, saying "we will not campaign for the deselection of any MP and will not permit any local Momentum groups to do so. The selection of candidates
is entirely a matter for local party members and rightly so".
2. In
January 2017, Momentum's new constitution imposed a new
requirement for Momentum members to be members of the Labour Party.
