  • I think attempts by “the right of the Labour Party” to get rid of Corbyn failed spectacularly, cf Owen Smith’s leadership attempt. He quit because he couldn’t win elections.

  • lol.

    The Labour right got Corbyn to pivot from a soft brexit to a second referendum, which pretty much lost him the 2019 election. Funny how all the #fbpe useful idiots are now happy with Starmer’s “Brexit means Brexit” stance.

  • Every single poll you’ll find tells you that if Corbyn hadn’t flipped to a second ref position, 2019 would’ve been worse. We’d have been down to 125 seats instead of the 200 or so. Instead of losing the red wall we’d have lost the cities.

    In may 2019 labour came fourth in the London elections.

    Fourth. Because of that hard brexit fudge.

    And yet this piffle persists. Even Owen jones recognises it was the right move. And the right didn’t force him into it. Electoral reality did.
