Saw someone (an unnamed former SpAd) referring to Sue Grey in the FT as "the ultimate embodiment of the deep state" so it's extremely on-brand for her to join Team Kieth.

Tarnop your post was fine. Bleak but that's a reflection on reality, not you. NJAN99 is being an idiot (wow!) doing the whole false dichotomy thing. Nobody should feel beholden to vote Labour just because the Tories are bad. They should vote Labour if they think Labour are good, and if they're not then voting for someone else (or for nobody) is perfectly legitimate.

That's optimistic. If Starmer wins then it will confirm the narrative that Labour can only win as a right wing party, and if he wins by a large margin as expected he will immediately purge the party left as he will no longer need them. Five more years of Tories will trash the country before maybe someone gets in who will try to restore the cycle of "Labour build, Tories destroy", but five years of Starmer will usher in permanent Tory hegemony.

This is not a choice between good and bad. It's a choice between bad now or bad forever.

He won't bother purging the Left if he wins a big majority, all evidence points to them doing nothing more than sitting quietly on the backbenches writing the occasional grumpy letter, and if he doesn't even need to rely on them for votes it's better to have them softly grumbling inside the party rather than pushing them out and running the risk that a group of 20-ish Left MPs outside of Labour begin to resemble an actual alternative to Labour.

I don't think so. He's getting old, his support among Tory MPs is minimal, and he's served his purpose of Getting Brexit Done and Defeating Jeremy Corbyn. The maniac wing will coalesce around someone else and Johnson will wander off to the Lords for a drink and a snooze.
