Interesting how reading one subject leads to another isn't it.
So Keir Starmer is a devout, long term member of the Fabian Society.
Also I suspect Albo is likely to be also.
Reading their plans suddenly makes the whole picture clearer.

Introduction
(Editor's note: For easier reading, this article has been divided into separate chapters and some section headings have been added. The original text is available at the source listed above.)
Fabianismis a radical London-based movement initiated in the 1880s for the purpose of subverting the existing order and establishing a Socialist World Government controlled by its leaders and by the financial interests associated with them.
London at the time was a centre of liberal capitalism -- itself a subversive movement -- as well as of radical left-wing agitation which sought to subvert the former. The main radical organisation promoting Socialism in England was the International Working Men's Association (IWMA, a.k.a. "First International"), established in 1864 byKarl Marx.
Marx's doctrines were initially only available in German and French, and had little impact on the British public. His disciple Henry Hyndman was the first to popularise the teachings of Marx and other German Socialists in the English language. Hyndman was also the founder in 1881 of theSocial Democratic Federation(SDF) (Laidler, p. 186).
The elements responsible for founding theFabian Societywere themselves influenced by Marxism and belonged to Social Democratic Federation circles. What set the Fabian Society apart from earlierSocialistorganisations like the IWMA and SDF was the method by which it sought to attain its objective. While other Socialists talked of revolution, the Fabians resolved to build Socialism gradually and by stealth.
According to one of its leaders, theFabian Societywas "organised for thought and discussion, and not for electoral action which it leaves to other bodies, though it encourages its members, in their individual capacities, to play an active part in the work of these other bodies" (G.D.H. Cole, 1942).
The Fabian Window
The subversive nature of the Fabian project is illustrated by the Fabian Window, a stained-glass composition showing Fabian leadersEdward R. Pease,Sidney WebbandBernard Shaw(in the green coat) forging a new world out of the old, while other Fabians kneel worshipfully before a stack of Fabian writings.
The window carries the logo: "Remould it nearer to the heart's desire", the last line from a quatrain by the medieval Iranian poet Omar Khayyam which reads:
"Dear love, couldst thou and I with fate conspire
To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire,
Would we not shatter it to bits, and then
Remould it nearer to the heart's desire!"...and which expresses the Fabians' plan to destroy and reconstruct society along Fabian lines.
The Fabian Window was commissioned byBernard Shawin 1910 and is currently located at theLondon School of Economics. Though its theme purports to be humorous, the fact is that, as admitted by Shaw, humour or what he described as "freely laughing at ourselves" was a distinguishing habit of the Fabians (Pease, p. 34). In fact, humour was a tactic used by Fabians to conceal the deadly earnest of their intentions.
Indeed, there is nothing humorous about a semi-secret organisation working to destroy Western civilisation. Moreover, the Fabian Window is undeniably symbolic and as such it is based on fact: despite claims to being "scientific", Socialism proved to be riddled with internal inconsistencies and contradictions rendering commitment to its tenets a matter of faith rather than reason.
As observed by the economist P. T. Bauer, Socialism turned out to be a kind of faith-based messianic religion that promised salvation on earth (Bauer, p. 176). In the Fabian case, making Socialism (or Fabianism) into a quasi-religious movement was a conscious objective of the Fabian leadership as shown byShaw's comments to the effect that the Fabians "must make a religion of Socialism" (Henderson, p. 488). Other Fabian leaders similarly spoke of Socialism as a "new social religion". Thus, the Fabians' adulatory attitude towards Fabian writings depicted in the Window accurately portrays the cult-like nature of Socialism in general and of Fabian Socialism, in particular.
The window also shows, in the background above the globe, the Fabian "coat-of-arms" consisting of a wolf wearing a sheepskin and bearing a red standard with the initials "F.S." Again, this symbolism is undeniably based on the fact of the Fabian tactic of "permeation" and of achieving its ends by stealth.
Finally, the Society's Iranian logo may well be a hidden reference to the reconstruction of the world order in line with international oil interests. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (laterBritish Petroleum) was among the corporate members of theRoyal Institute of International Affairs, a.k.a. Chatham House (King-Hall, p. 140), an organisation co-founded by members of theFabian Societyand the Society has retained close links to oil interests (see below).
