In 2017 Labour had not yet announced they would conspire with other parties to disenfranchise millions who voted for Brexit by
ignoring the result of the referendum.

And a change of policy driven by Starmer. Labour switching from supporting the referendum result to wanting to see it reversed a policy Starmer pushed and pushed. The only single decision guaranteed to lead to defeat in any subsequent general election that would be required prior to any proposed second referendum happening. Thus guaranteeing Johnson his victory in 2019 and getting rid of Corbyn.

With Starmer now leading the Labour party, with Corbyn thrown out and refused re-entry (confirmed yesterday). These dots are not difficult to join up.

I disagree. Suspect that people who like to pull the strings behind the curtains might actually see Starmer as a far more 'conservative' prospect than Johnson who has proven to be a genuine buffoon. A Labour party that expells somebody like Corbyn, who led it to over 40% of the vote in 2017, and is led by a snake like Starmer (and a Knight of the Realm to boot), is probably a safer prospect for the globalists then the Tories.

Everybody says Labour are dead and buried but the polls don't show that at all and the anger against Johnson and co is real. That will take a long while to die down and come 2024, perhaps it might be all up for grabs.

Starmer probably just needs to let Johnson hang himself rather than actively campaign on anything. Keep on battering the Lefties and start to make patriotic noises and he may well make number 10 yet.

The only fly in the ointment might be if Corbyn decides to lead a grass-roots 'Socialist' party. Interesting to see Laura Pidock resign yesterday as well because prior to 2019 she was being touted as the new golden girl of the Left.

Lets see. Personally, I would love Corbyn to come out fighting and set up a new party. Would make British politics all the more interesting.

No he isn't. He surrendered his lifelong principles to seize power.

So much for the integrity we heard about.

He got what he deserved for betraying the will of the people.

Well said. People are literally still getting prosecuted for straying marginally outside of these stay at home orders and the like when they were in place. Something at the time many were all in favour of because people were 'breaking the law'. All of a sudden those actually putting these laws in place routinely breaking them is a 'nothing to see'. No wonder people want to go into politics when expectations are zero, and through fear of 'the other side' getting some will relentlessly bend over for their 'leader' come what may.
