The only MP I can actually listen to........ nice to hear Jeremy Corbyn.

[@Lord-Panda2112]

​@@jake751 He might be (debatable) but he is electoral dead weight. Centrists will win you power, Starmer has a real shot now. The 'proper' left have to decide what they want... To stay true to their beliefs (aka Corbyn) or making the necessary compromises that will win you power (Starmer). You know how to win (Blair's approach) but refuse to do it which means with have 12 years of Tory rule. Thanks for that BTW...

' another failed Socialist govt. ...'.
