    Corbyn got absolutely fucked at the election. Running as an out-and-out leftist awoke fuck all in the general electorate.

    The right were more than happy to get their foot in the door with Cameron, before dragging politics in this country further and further right. Why are we so unhappy to do the same?

    Also, when on earth do you think the Tories were planning on setting up a nationalised energy company, renationalising rail?

      Right, because he was obviously the one who launched the massive media smear campaign against himself, dubbing himself the biggest antisemite in Britain, to ensure the wealthy are protected from the devastating thereat he posed to their avoided taxes… 😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

      Running as an out-and-out leftist awoke fuck all in the general electorate.

      I guess hundreds of thousands of people joining the Labour party, more than ever in history (and definitely more than have ever joined the Tory party), and hundreds of thousands if not millions of others becoming involved in politics who had never before, is nothing. Or maybe it’s just that you’re being wilfully ignorant… 🤔

      Why are we so unhappy to do the same?

      Because it’s not what’s fucking happening, Starmers foot in the door is categorically never going to move the oveton window left, and you wanting to model the Labour party after what the Tories do proves just how far right them, and their voters, have shifted in said window.

      Also, when on earth do you think the Tories were planning on setting up a nationalised energy company, renationalising rail?

      What makes you think New Labour is? 😂😂😂
