    I've always tried to think that you and I have differences of political opinion, that it's valuable to talk with people with whom you profoundly disagree, and I've never thought you were bad faith or dishonest. But this is coming very close to it imo.

    Starmer's Labour is 20 points ahead in the polls. Corbyn's Labour received one of the worst drubbings in our history.

    Starmer's Labour is good at selling policy. Corbyn's Labour was terrible at selling policy.
