Sorry, posted another response before yours, but I dropped in a couple of Starmer quotes that seem to be insinuating opposition to war is support for Russia in one form or another.
It's in the Corbyn thread because it's a slight derail from Corbyn speaking at the rally and because he's the deputy president of the Stop the War coalition.
Anyone actually heard/seen/read what he said? I've not. Instead we've got a guilty by association situation (not a new criticism of Corbyn, tbf). But in this case, I don't think being affiliated with STW is anything anyone should be embarrassed about (at the moment - if they did come out supporting Russian aggression I'd reformulate my position).

I guess you could also say it forms part of one of the many problems with Corbyn. Personally I voted for him based on the manifesto - in particular the green policies and small business policies. However, to be frank, I was always concerned by his risk to national security. Ironically, I weighed up Johnson as likely to be a greater risk.
