There's very little to be gained in spending decades on the opposition benches and protesting , you change nowt sat there .

Starmer is very good in the HOC , so was William Hague but he got battered by Blair at the election so that tells you how much worth there is in that aspect of it .

Policies Wardy , policies mate and another way , not Blairism but Starmerism , this is the challenge for SKS .

At least we have a leader at long last who isn't a monkey on our backs so it's a good start , there's a root and branch analysis of what's gone wrong in the heartlands going on , the party are talking to real people and listening to what they are getting told , that's going on right now remotely .

There's much to do but no matter what the left tell you Corbyn did lose the argument , the election result tells you so .

I lost the argument , it's an uncomfortable truth but it is the truth .

We have to change direction Wardy or the party will forever sit in opposition .

The way I see it right now , a centre left Labour Party is definitely more palatable than a bunch of right wing nut jobs destroying the UK for good .

I could never forgive the Labour right, animal, for their sheer self indulgence and duplicity when it came to Jeremy Corbyn. What chance did he have when two of his own MPs ( former), Ian Austin and John Woodcock told the public to vote Conservative.
I'm a member of the Labour Party because I believe in social justice and for the provision of good public services for all. I'm also against the semi feudal system that exists in this country as personified by the likes of Johnson, Cameron, Cummings et al where your background and family wealth determines your life chances, that is not a meritocracy.
The fact that the Labour right, lined up with the Tories and the right wing media to weaponise anti semitism also left a nasty taste in the mouth.
Corbyn and McDonald were weak and ill advised to try to appease those accusing him of anti semitism, for which there was no evidence, witness the recent report into it as commissioned by Jenny Formby Chair of the NEC which Starmer has chosen not to send to the Human Rights Commisiion, and now wants to suppress, I wonder why ?
