Trot (plural Trots)

1. (slang, derogatory) A Trotskyist.
   • 2001 October 3, Matthew Tempest, “New Labour's power-dressed future”, in The Guardian‎:

     Loyal to a tee, he is still at a loss to understand the failure of the Frank Dobson candidacy in the London mayoral contest, and abandoned constituency meetings after a couple of events because they were "too dominated by Trots".

   • 2008, Cherie Blair, Speaking for Myself: My Life from Liverpool to Downing Street:

     We believed that the Trots represented a mad, extreme form of Labour that was never going to do anything for anybody, yet we felt strongly that nothing would be achieved by jumping ship and defecting to the SDP.
