Keep up Kerr. The 3quid subs ended after 1 year. All members have been paying full whack for years.

Personally no probs with Starmer if he fronts the last manifesto. Neither would labour members I know (it might shock you to know that we're not all class warriors, the trots are a huge minority, and a pain in the ass) But would you be tempted to vote for Starmer of he was elected and ran with the same manifesto? Or if you think he'd change the manifesto, what do you think he'd change from what you know of him?

But can you see him and where he'd take the party appealing to the disaffected Northern voters that Monty identified?
