The Labour left need to regenerate around a post-Corbyn idea which has the same appeals without the bitterness of its end, maintain that concept through all the internal lower organ elections and policy votes winning on the idea, then agree a PM candidate which represents that idea best, then convince enough MPs that the candidate/ideology is better than Starmer, then convince the membership of that as well. It's an incredibly long term project.

I honestly think the Labour Left are too meek and accommodating to ever take control of the party, any attempt to reformulate a new popular left movement just seems like a waste of everyone's time if they're not willing to be as ruthless and pragmatic as the Right to marginalise their internal opponents and actually enact their agenda. And even now very few of them seem to have grasped what a pointless ordeal trying to thread the needle on antisemitism was, which doesn't inspire any confidence that they're going to be less credulous marks the next time it becomes the UK's media number one priority to discredit a left-wing politician again

Apparently he's had pneumonia for the last few weeks. The family has actually killed the man to keep their scam going and get a free holiday.

Left wingers marginalising internal opponents always gets called out as "stalinist purges". I think our left wing leadership has always had such a massive hang up about being likened to stalin that they'll do everything to accommodate their opponents. Failing to grasp is that they'll get called stalinist no matter what, and most vociferously by their strongest opponents, so they have literally nothing to lose.

All the Gammon Youtube channel commentators are over gloating about it too.

Farage did a 1 year brexit anniversary vid today too, and the comments are either bots designed to incite or there are some really oblivious people.
