And like I said, if #Corbyn couldn't handle the expected #Tory #FarRight client media attacks, he shouldn't have ran for the leadership.
The far left #Corbynistas got their wish & got their man in as #Labour Leader.
He lost an 80% Remain voting Labour party the #Brexit vote, by being virtually anonymous.
#Corbyn lost in 2017 against the awful Theresa May. Then he led Labour to the biggest election booting in political history, but yet you're still hanging around crying foul. 🙄

The Tories also suffered their worst election losses due to the Brexit factor. There is a case that there was no need to throw out the baby with the bath water and row back from popular policies as Starmer has done since.

The 19% average #Labour poll lead suggests different.
Let it go. Move on. #Corbyn has gone & he ain't coming back.
Put your efforts into campaigning for the #SocialistWorkersParty & installing Corbyn as your leader, with Abbott, McDonnell & Derek Hatton etc as your executive.
You can then put your #Socialist case to the electorate at #GE2024 & we'll see how the nation takes to you.
I can only ask why you aren't already doing this? 🤔

Former Labour Party member, now Greens for me.
@5b2d9d54 @5ee8143f
Great! So why are you commenting on #Labour instead of concentrating on achieving the #Green party's objective of increasing it parliamentary representation from one to four? 🤔
Do something more constructive instead of purely being negative about #Starmer & Labour.
Tell us about the #Greens. I heard your keynote pledge is a wealth tax on the rich to pay for your manifesto pledges?
How dya think that'll go down with the electorate?
@0f342e77 @5b2d9d54 because the local parties still want their socialist Labour candidates and MPs… but the undemocratic Labour leadership doesn’t like that…
@5ee8143f @0f342e77
One absolute success Starmer has had is driving out or expelling the left from the Labour Party
@5ee8143f @5b2d9d54
You're welcome to take any #Socialist #Labour MP's with you if/when you all join the #SocialistWorkersParty & install #Corbyn as your leader.
Which Socialist MP's are these by the way, & why haven't they been purged from Labour or left in solidarity with Corbyn & The far left #Corbynistas who've apparently been expelled? 🤔
@0f342e77 @5b2d9d54 you mean socialists like Keir Starmer claimed to be during the leadership campaign?
@5ee8143f @5b2d9d54
There are levels of #Socialism. It's like a sliding scale.
Like myself, #Starmer is a Social Democrat, hence why he suits my brand of politics & many on the left. He also appeals to centre right voters too as illustrated by today's latest poll showing #Labour with a 23 point lead over the #Tories.
We saw where political extremism got us in 2019. It's not done the #UK any favours.
@5b2d9d54 @0f342e77 I would say without genuinely socialist policies (which starmer promised during the leadership campaign), then more and more people are going to find that neoliberal economics don’t actually provide a good life and are going to turn towards the right…
Change is needed, change that reasonable left wing policies can provide.
@5ee8143f @5b2d9d54
So what happened in 2019? 🤔
Oh sorry, I forgot. It's everyone else who got it wrong... 🤷🏾♂️
