 @0f342e77 @5b2d9d54 because the local parties still want their socialist Labour candidates and MPs… but the undemocratic Labour leadership doesn’t like that…

One absolute success Starmer has had is driving out or expelling the left from the Labour Party

Hence the 19% average poll lead.

Both are inextricably linked. 🤷🏾‍♂️

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?

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.
