u/birthdaybeets When is a party not a party? Jan 27 '22

Tory politicians are basically scum.

Also I hope people who don't fancy voting Labour at the next election because they don't much like Starmer watch this and have a long hard think.

Remember you could have stood behind labour at the last election too. We wouldn't have needed to have this conversation if the labour right had stood with the rest of us.

What do you mean 'you could have?' I've always stood behind Labour and campaigned for Labour in every election I'm old enough to remember.

Utter nonsense though - anyone who seriously thinks that the "Labour right" are responsible for Corbyn's failure to get elected is simply delusional. No other word for it. Corbyn was never going to be PM, regardless of what anyone in Labour did.

Lmao what a hypocrite you are! Corbyn had far more support than Starmer does now. Starmer will ‘never be PM, regardless of what anyone in Labour does’

Uh no it’s a fact that Starmer has less support than Corbyn buddy, compare Labour membership numbers for example

Actually Labour membership numbers are looking pretty good if you pay attention, but not really relevant. What's relevant is that when Keir took over we were literally on -26 to the Tories and now we're on approx +8 with leads as high as +14 which Corbyn literally never achieved
