Sad really - their hero will almost certainly lose his seat at #2024GE - then what will they do?

In my youth hero of the left was Tony Benn, mostly harmless but kept safely away from any prospect of leadership since it was recognised the UK will never vote for #labour led from the far Left

Ed Milliband foolishly changed rules to allow entryists to select the hopeless perpetual back-bencher to lead #Labour. An error not to be repeated

A VERY harsh lesson learned, but the Corbynista Cult continue

Why don't they join the #SocialistWorkersParty, install #Corbyn as leader, with Abbott & McDonnell as their executive, & put their far left #Socialist vision for the #UK to the electorate?

Nah! Sounds too much like hard work. It's far easier for them to stand on the sidelines hurling shitbombs at #Starmer & #Labour because all they're good at is breaking stuff & burning things down

It is a form of grieving - I suggest you are more understanding.....

Not understanding. I've just long since giving up trying to reason with them, so came to the conclusion 3 years ago it was best they left the party & setup their own far left #Socialist utopia & put their case the the #UK electorate.

But no! They're still lurking in the shadows like a soggy fart trapped in a lift. They're the epitome of sad. 🙄
