Haha! Utterly ludicrous.

F@ck Labour and their official return to being establishment stooges. It might do irreparable damage to the party and lead to a split, but as they’re currently in a position to stifle progressive voices then that’s ultimately going to be necessary.

despite his claims he isn’t anti Semitic his actions do seem to suggest he actually is anti-Semitic. Who would have thought it?

The age-old dilemma of whether to compromise one's principles in order to get some of the aims enacted, or to stick with them rigidly and have none. Both are imperfect solutions, but which is more effective?

I think this may well result in a new left wing party and an effective one like UKIP and Brexit in shaping policy. This time for good and to represent the people the establishment always ignores until it’s time to vote.

He was suspended for 'In light of his comments made today and his failure to retract them subsequently, the Labour Party has suspended Jeremy Corbyn pending investigation'

Maybe if he had taken responsibility for it in his statement today, he was the Leader of the party at the time, then no suspension

However I still say Starmer has to look at himself if he is that progressive why didn't he have the decency to name, names last year? Clearly just another politician, being a politician

See above.

Increasingly policy and political debate itself seems to be coming from outside the traditional Con/LibDem/Lab structures. Take BLM, Scottish Independence, XR and the Greens, and sadly UKIP/Brexit Party/EDL and the like.

If you want to change things on the inside then that just isn’t happening given how that’s sewn up by the establishment political parties and media.

I think this has been coming a while so it’s pretty exciting if left-wingers can finally accept the evidence of the past 40-odd years and it does actually happen.

A significant Labour split could lead to Conservative domination for a generation. Or it might lead to a more centrist party under Starmer who take moderate Tory votes and win power in the way Blair did.

Might even result in a Conservative split, too, if Brexit turns out to be really messy.

I'm in favour of the existing monolithic blocs being broken up, with more, smaller parties representing specific interests and which can combine in coalitions to form a government, without having to subscribe to a centralised programme.

Good. The sooner Labour is rid of the momentum Corbynistas whose only vision for the future is to keep banging on about "poor JC, bashed by MSM & 'Torylite' labour voters, look where we'd be now if we still had him as our leader" - the better.

No, most of the people I’m thinking about have a much better and bigger vision for the UK.

Many are “Corbynistas”, true. But if you think it’s about personality rather than policy then you’re in for a surprise. I’ll leave you to the self-satisfied centre wringing their hands and complaining about stuff while proposing the system needs tweaking.

I’ll be much happier supporting the sort of people who always think 4 million children living in poverty is a big deal and not limiting that to a discussion about free school meals during a pandemic.

Tho it took the Greens, the ScotsNats and the Kippers several decades to gain serious traction. Even the BLM movement is (in the UK) part of a process dating back to the 1960s.

Being ejected from the Labour Party in the 1980s gave the hard left* not a platform, but 30 years in the wilderness. Do they have anything to grab the public's attention (in a positive way), in order to make it different this time?

Thought Sir Keir did extremely well today. Right to issue an apology.

The less said about Corbyn the better. The man is a disgrace and he is the main reason why Labour did so poorly with him at the helm.

Problem you have is inspiring the majority of UK voters - most of whom live (in global terms) pretty comfortable lives - to take on board a radical agenda.

That requires a coherent vision, superb presentation, a leader who is strong, dynamic and a brilliant communicator, plus deft command of the media. Or a series of major crises which bring the country to its knees.
