@0f342e77 The issue is that the labour party has found every excuse under the sun to purge anyone who's left of gordon brown from the party... The only reason for the high polling for starmer is because he's #NotTories (also Keir Starmer has done nothing to address the active antisemitism engaged in by the labour right, as part of their campaign to undermine Corbyn, despite claiming to have a zero tolerance for antisemitism)

@5ee8143f To be honest, the view inside the party is no one cares. 2019 is over. Many far left activists have followed #Corbyn out of the party. This has led to an average 19% poll lead ever since. What advantage is to be gained by trying to reason with the unreasonable far left? 🤔 It's best you all join the #SocialistWorkersParty, install Corbyn as leader, get Abbott & McDonnell as part of your executive, stand at #GE2024 & put your far left #Socialist case to the electorate.

@5ee8143f Outside of #Corbyn & his lukewarm response to #Brexit, it wasn't his policies, it was Corbyn himself who was a turnoff for the electorate, but would is far left #Corbynista disciples listen? No! Corbyn led #Labour to the biggest #GeneralElection annihilation in political history. This is all the history books will show.

@5ee8143f 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. 🙄

@0f342e77 @5ee8143f 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. https://jacobin.com/2020/12/jeremy-corbyn-labour-uk-defeat-december-2019-election

@5b2d9d54 @5ee8143f 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? 🤔

@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?

@5b2d9d54 @5ee8143f It's best you go for a lie down in a dark room then Karen. It's for the best. 🛌 😴 https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/111/194/036/927/175/699/original/26d6d886f8d02ef7.mp4

@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? 🤔

@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.
