Current Affairs The Labour Party

She appears to be a huge Corbynite and was leading a demonstration earliest this year calling Starmer all sorts. I'm not sure she's quite the victim here she's making herself out to be.

I'm sure @UserNameBunchofDigits is a real person

He's too far to the left for the current labour set up, they are trying to get rid of any left wing ideology to become a centrist party. By all accounts most have said he's an excellent MP who does a great job in the local community.

They are not centrist though - they are very clearly right wing. The "left" in this country are mostly centrists when compared to many other european countries.

I guess centrist politics is a fairly subjective term.

It feels as though the conservatives have gone further right to try and get votes from UKIP etc and in turn, Labour have moved further right to try and get votes from the tories. Remember Labour are trying to get votes from people who voted for Boris Johnson last time out so good luck with that.

Most people with any sort of left wing persuasion are still likely to vote Labour, on account of the tories being horrible but this cosying up and shift, to the right wing parts of our society is likely to be catastrophic in the long term.

"Pouring arms in isn't gonna bring back a solution."

pouring arms in has held up the arms and soldiers being poured in by the aggressors.

You won't find a more Corbyn-obsessed weirdo than that Oz prat.

I'd look more inward, specifically at your man Boris' ties to Russian money before spouting off.

One stands shoulder square with Ukraine against Russia, one kowtows to Russia and seeks to undermine support. I think I understand the situation…..

It's the social bit where conservatism is strong I think. Economically I suspect there's a significant number of people who see the benefits of left leaning social welfare policies and economics. Corbyn however just had so much baggage in terms of being seen as too progressive and socially liberal for many.

The so called 'blue labour' voters. It gets a bit uncomfortably close to BNP territory.

Unfortunately all we're getting is retrogressive mean spirited socially Conservative policies and flannel. Nothing genuinely substantial and of benefit to many economically.
