at some point, hopefully in the not too distant future, I hope the penny will finally drop with enough people that social media actually is the problem

Keir Starmer's leadership needs an urgent course correction | Tom Kibasi
I helped elect the Labour leader, but his first year has seen an unnecessary war on the left, says Tom Kibasi
I think people are aware of that, the problem is what to do about it because what’s happening now is unsustainable.
Its mad because the idea of social media should be really positive, where people can globally interact and people would be under less influence of media conglomerates.
Instead it’s got me dreaming of the days when our information channels were narrower and more tightly controlled.

How the internet age has coincided (or created perhaps) stagnant social mobility seems like a major question of our times. How is this possible when all of the old gatekeepers of information have been rendered obsolete? You can read all sorts of utopian ideas about the internet but it feels like the opposite is happening, that freedom of information is absolutely swamped by the massively increased bandwith and reach of social media being exploited for more repressive purposes.
It's not even enough to not directly use it - I don't have a twitter account but feel like I do due to the amount of stuff that gets re-posted all over the place. Maybe that is worse, social media by proxy.
Yeah I agree. It is an interesting subject. Social media is flooded with so much false and conflicting information that no one has a clue what’s going on and narratives can be seized upon and exploited by individuals to further their own agendas or finances.
The tools of propaganda may have changed but the people in power haven’t.

FFS, Blue Labour. Welcome to 2011.
What an unmitigated disaster electing him to be LP leader was. A clueless trumpet.
Looks like the honeymoon period for Starmer is over.
The next is about three and a quarter years away and thus far he has done nowt to suggest we will make any inroads into the Tory majority.

If people running his leadership campaign are jumping ship, it's ominous.
He seems to be trying to make the LP into a hybrid of UKIP and the LibDems. An utterly monstrous concoction.
He's not a political animal. He's seen the LP leadership and then the PM job as a career ticking exercise. You have to be completely impassioned and tribal to achieve anything in politics. As the article you linked underlined, even Blair was tribal and hammered the Tories and kept his internal enemies onboard.
Gone in 6-12 months this feller. The opinion polls are a calamity for him. Four points behind a Tory Party that's murdered 118,000 people.

Don't disagree with the above but it's worth noting in this case that this self-styled "one of the strategic architects of Starmer’s successful leadership campaign" was not, unlike others involved, offered a job by Sir Keir. In view of this outburst it was probably a wise decision.

Having that much time is an advantage (assuming of course he has that time; these weasels are more than capable of getting to September, proclaiming they "won" COVID and calling a snap election) but he does need to urgently bin off a lot of the people who've provoked these bad headlines with their incompetence. They will never get better and will forever pick fights with their real enemy, the left.
He has the mandate to stand on his own two feet, and should do so.
