I've been told off-list by a reliable source that Marea is Doug's wife.

I suppose this makes sense. When you're in the SWP for as long as Doug
(and, presumably, Marea) has been, it dominates your life - political,
social, etc. I'd say 90% of your time outside of work (and even most of
the time AT work) is spent on Party activity. I think the two letters
by Doug and Marea represent the natural response to being expelled; one
a desperate attempt to win the Party's favor again, one displaying
bitter resentment. I imagine Doug and Marea are quite lonely at the
moment.
