Here's an interesting watch for you. Don't dismiss it as hard left crap just watch with an open mind and then tell me he's wrong. It's an interesting story regardless...

I'm familiar with Novara media Shank, and quite like Michael Walker. Likewise I watch some of the main output on GB News and the hard right sites.

I can't say I disagree with you on the way that the media attacked Corbyn. But at the same time, the way that the wheels came off him and his leadership soon after the 2017 high point, to the extent that those of us who supported him had little belief left in him well before the 2019 election were pretty much in despair with him and his strategists as well as the media. It's some comfort, but not much that the further rightist politicians came quite unstuck by the centrist machinary also! Shame the machinary tends to be much more centre right than centre left. And yes, I hear you animal, Sunak could be seen to be further right than many would like, but that would depend on your lens - GF and Gristy would see him as establishment centre left. For most of the UK population however, they will continue to be overall huge losers on income and health policies whilst the super wealthy continue to prosper.
