I could’ve sworn they used to stream conferences on BBC Parliament, but it doesn’t seem like it today. I guess it’s too intolerably dull even to pre-empt re-runs of PMQs

Apparently it's on YouTube but unlisted. Auto-subtitles have given "Keir Starmer" as "Pierced Armour" which I particularly enjoyed.

Ok, this is probably a mischaracterisation of people’s motivations but… people really need to let Jeremy Corbyn go. 2015-19 was never about one person, and I feel like it plays into the right’s hands if the left fightback is happy to still portray itself as The Jeremy Corbyn Movemrnt. Harsh?

It's a lot faster to say "Jeremy Corbyn" than it is to say "I wanted Labour to have left wing policies instead of Blairite pablum and there was a four year window when we might have got it".

It was an acceptable answer to the question he increased the membership astronomically.

It's kind of hard to just pretend like he isn't basically on the right side of more or less every issue, I'd just be plain about it, the guy seems like a decent sort and I'd rather have him be PM than basically anybody else I can think of. If you give me someone else decent I'd have them too but nobody else has really seemed more credible of late.

The right are going to portray the left as being that anyway so "playing into their hands" as a thing simply no longer matters. Reality is not going to be factored into their propaganda machine.

I mean yes the policies he represented were almost universally good, but also he is genuinely likeable as a person.

If a leftist ever got back in though, i'd want a proper firebrand who'll purge the right; because if the media are going to accuse us of planning to do that anyway, may as well get the benefit of it.

It doesn't matter anyway. The question was "why did you join the Labour Party?", not "what do you want from the Labour Party?" And to that, "Jeremy Corbyn" is a completely valid answer.
