Myself, I get labelled on here as 'far left', which is plain ridiculous. I am moderate left. Far left does not believe in mixed market capitalism and is prepared to sacrifice democracy when it suits them. I am not a huge fan of Labour at the moment but the only far left element is made up of certain union connections. Nor am I a Corbyn fan, but I do think McDonnell is strong. He was running the City of London budget for Livingstone and made a fair hand of it. Because he can appear stern, people mistake this for extremism. He gives more straight answers than most.
I also believe Starmer knows his stuff. There are other good uns and far fewer bad apples than the current Tory crop.
The Maybot can survive the losses of Phallus and Pretty Pathetic but lose Bozo and Green and she's surely a goner.
