Fairly obviously not, no. There are various areas of power within the party: whether the shadow cabinet; the PLP; the NEC; so on and so forth. The leader is not a dictator.
Do the canary control any of these various areas of power? Again, fairly obviously not.
Apologies for posting about Starmer in the…[checks topic]…Starmer thread.
Eejit-
Fair points, i guess it just seems to lead to a position where poor behaviour by someone who no longer is in a position of power is (by that rationale) not open to criticism - which i don’t really agree with.
Obviously you’ll comment on Starmer in this thread, it’s just a bit tiring that this seems to be solely used as a place to slag him off, with pretty minimal balance or credit for anything good.

Doesn’t this line of logic just allow you to always ignore anything anyone but Starmer does, though?
