   Starmer has definately destroyed it…His paymasters must be well pleased with him and the rest of the back-stabbing, traitorous snakes who have betrayed us all.

   You can gloss it anyway you like between both sides. The bottom line is both Labour and Conservative lack what it takes to turn this country around. Politics needs radical reform, but it won't happen. Both leaders are WEF puppets.

   I'm seeing this a year after it was made. Things are looking very different for Labour now as the Tories are imploding.

   I only wish Greens were viable to win general elections outright. We need to change the voting system in this country so it doesn’t pretty much end up a 2 party system.

   Starmer might be the demise for Labour chance to take over, he is definitely not having the agenda that UK needs. And… is he really on the side of common people or the elite?

   Saving Labour. One. In England Labour cannot win with a Leader from the Left. Proven so many times. Then JC had no political feel. Keir does. He is successful Human Rights Lawyer with a record of improving large organisations. My genius lawyer neighbour who advised the UN on Legal & Medical matters worked in Keir's Chambers for yonks & swore by Keir many times in our conversations. As my MP Keir has been a good and dedicated MP. I only hope Keir gets a large enough majority to push for a better NHS & UK as is his intent.

    I think the worst part is he is doing neither, and that is not what the country/world needs right now coming out of the neoliberal miasma. The voters rejected the person who pushed for what is needed, and the voters were wrong, as they were with Brexit and other things. How come when the neoliberal establishment don't want something and the vote reflects that, it's "democracy at work" or "voters reject" but when its something they do want it's treated as either a Russian hack or as an indictment on the voter? Sorry, that's not how it works. We have to look to the metric of what is needed according to academics and experts, and they all agree that what we need is to BROADEN the wealth/power/democracy of the bottom, not to stand idly by as the system broadens the top in all those metrics. Genuinely pushing for the former is the difference between an aesthetic liberal and an actual leftist.

    Starmer seems like a sleepy figure when it comes to these issues, and a complete tyrant when it comes to hollowing out the left base of the Labour Party. If he comes into his own as a PM he will be remembered as a butcher of Laborism by inaction. He will blame the Tories and then they will be re-elected, all according to plan of course. Ironically his cohorts claimed Corbyn was the Stalinist about his party, but like all their smears about him that was a complete lie. He didn't banish the right wing from the Labour Party ("New Labour") and that was perhaps a mistake. Soft Toryism is not what Britain needs as they slide back into Thatcherism, it is not better than nothing or of two evils, it is an evil and that makes it unacceptable. What needs to be done is to stand with Labour members pressuring the party from the left and to reestablish a Left leader, i.e someone like Corbyn but perhaps with less patience for party sleaze (Hint: All the right-wing "New Labour" types)

    It’s weird to think that leaving the EEC was considered a left-wing thing, but in the end it was the right-wing that actually voted us out of the EU.

    Starmer is just a Tory who couldn't get to where he wants to be. Unlike Corbyn, there is no doubt. Don't fall into the trap that the US has about caring more about election than doing things. He's splintering things more than unifying.

    They need a strong, radical leader. Not someone who meekly give into the Tories in the name of bipartisanship. It just weaken labor and gives the Tories less of a reason to ever consider them a threat. Funny how some anecdotal evidence is toted over an actual election supposed "radical" was at the helm. If manifestos aren't important, why change it? If they are, then don't change it. If you do, make stronger commitments to actually helping people.

    Ah, gotta love the c*cks that grovel at the feet of the rich and powerful lords. When the "center" is cozying up to the same party that empowers corporations, deregulates and dreams of abolishing safety nets one might wonder why there might be some push back.

    Look at how we in the US have done with ever so "electable" president is doing. Gotta love fist bumping the Saudi and their guy MBS. Gotta love doing little to nothing protecting women. The right loves borrow and throw the economy under the bus and then let the left actually be the ones who sort out paying for it and take the blame for deficits and inflation.

    F-ck the right. Center used to me something but we've let the loudest minority define something they had little to no ownership over.

    TBF the last election was more like 1987 for Labour in England and Wales, not quite as bad as 1983, it's the rise of the SNP that skews it.

    I’ve seen in my country how important the radical activist branch of the parties are. I’ve seen the party I supported turn towards centrism to “cast a wider net”, and it failed. The most vocal and active members of the party were cast out in favor of the indecisive swing voter. It’s been a disaster.

    Basically the New Labour movement was the most far-left movement in Britain in modern times, egalitarian, mass uncontrolled migration forced on the poorest, massive over-borrowing, massive over-spending, creation of an enormous state dependent class, the Labour government's ideology led to an illegal war based on leftwing utopian principles ''to spread democracy in the middle east'', sold our Gold off for pittance. You just need to look at Alastair Campbell, former speech-writer for Blair now chief editor of the leftwing New European to see just how revolutionary the leftwing Blair government was & is. Hopefully we'll step away from those disastrous policies which have wrecked Britain but it doesn't look very likely. Tories follow the Blair governments policy, now Starmer is following it. Just shows we have no real alternative in parliament. Which is why the leftwing mainstream media had absolute fits when Brexit happened. It was the establishment finally getting a kicking instead their status quo being furthered indefinitely.

    There are a couple of problems here.
    1) Corbyn may have been a "fringe" candidate, but he had, when first appointed leader, the vote of more of the party than even Blair did. This means that, at that time at least, he was more reflective of the party in general. I would argue then that, but reversing the democratisation of the party and returning the leadership selection to the MPs, the leadership is actually risking separating the PLP from the wider party. This, surely, cannot be seen as a good thing.
    2) though Corbyn did lead the party at the time of a devastating defeat, its not as simple as saying it was down to Corbyn or the socialist policies. The 2019 elect was, like the two before it, hinged on Brexit. The difference between 2017 and 2019 for Labour was their pivot away from a "pragmatic Brexit" to a "Peoples Vote" stance. Its not a coincidence that the key losses (the so called "Red Wall") wher mostly strongly leave constituencies. This policy was one forced on the leadership by the wider party. Meaning that the failure of Corbyn was allowing the general party to push for a policy that was strategic suicide rather that excert his authority and keep the party on the same track as 2017.

    Labour as pure socialist religion remains unelectable as Jeremy proved. The Labour left is a core party constituency but the kiss of death in a general election.

    Brilliant – so all they're basically going to do at the next election is alienate Labour's more left wing demographic to some of the smaller available parties, and maintain the centrist portion of the party – thus leading to another (mind blowing) Tory victory…

    Seriously; it's actually mental how out of touch this Labour party is with what they need to do to win an election.

    Love him or hate him, at least Corbyn managed to actually engage the young voter at the 2017 election.

    That's exactly what Labour should be doing now – encouraging a politically alienated generation to vote by actually giving them an incentive to vote.

    You're always going to get the older generation vote – which by virtue of age they typically tend to lean more conservative. The benefit of that to the Tory's is that there are relatively few minor parties in the conservative domain to have votes taken from them.

    It's absolutely cringeworthy to watch a party progressively destroy the country over the last 12-14 years and still win elections, even when they're dishing up an absolute buffoon of a leader.

    A good video, but I find the narrator's pronunciation of "electoral" somewhat irksome. Putting an emphasis on the third syllable doesn't sound right and I think there should be a slight emphasis on the second syllable.
