Big choice for momentum now if he contests the election as an independent. Their MPs are mostly from the newer intakes and they won’t want to give up their jobs to campaign for Corbyn against a Labour candidate, but having alienated the moderate factions they need his base on board.

It seems utterly deranged to send that man to purdah considering what he gave the party in terms or members and votes from in particular young people but what do I know. |  |

Corbyn is a very popular local MP and will win the seat.
Deranged of Starmer to keep pushing this battle, but that's the "moderate, grown-up", it's 1997 wing of the party for you |  | | |

This is really just part of the campaign to rid the Labour Party of people from the left, which is manifesting itself in selections for seats, as well as today's Times' interview with Starmer in which he effectively tells such people to leave the Party.
I watched something in which both Michael Crick (the journalist) and Claire Short (the former Labour minister) thought this was wrong thing to be doing. Crick suggested it was a sign of Starmer's weakness given that previous Labour leaders had tolerated (and even had in their Cabinet) people from the left. Short thought it would lead to bad decision-making because the party was left with too many people who thought the same |  | | |

He also presided over the Labour Party being prosecuted for anti Jewish racism by the EHRC. The first major political party ever to be put in steadily messures.
Thankfully Starmer has detoxified the party in just two years.

Electoral oblivion and “The Equality and Human Rights Commission found Labour, under Mr Corbyn, had been responsible for unlawful discrimination.”
Top parody comment as always Chico. |  | | |

Detoxified the entire country it seems. Barely hear a peep about antisemitism since 2020 from the British media, despite it being one of the biggest issues facing the country for the previous four years. |  | | |

Are you suggesting that the issues highlighted by the EHRC were fabricated or that the British media was only interested in using the issue as a weapon to attack Labour and Corbyn?
Neither is a strong defence of Corbyn and his leadership.

I'm suggesting that a large section of the political class pretended to care about an issue that they didn't care about because it suited them politically. | | | |

well that was a given wasn't it. Keir's Labour party have made a point of distancing themselves from that dark stain left by Corbyn and his ilk. Go after Dianne Abbott next. |  |

It wasn't a defence of anyone. I'm sure Dan Hannan, Boris Johnson, Ian Paisley Jr, The Mail, Express, Telegraph, Sun etc etc really did want to rid the world of racism. I just find it odd they don't talk about it anymore. | | | |

The rich saw Corbyn as a threat to their wealth. Even if he was squeaky clean the media wouldn't have allowed Corbyn to be elected and he didn't help himself as he was too stubborn to ever play the game. | | | |

Do you disagree with the conclusions of the EHRC? | |

The now almost total absence of the previously largely unevidenced smear campaign isn’t a sign that Labour has been detoxified.
The toxic lot are now fully in charge.
What a time to be alive. |  |

Starmer today told members such as myself to f**k off out of the party, which if I'm honest I'm more than happy to oblige. He's an absolute fraud and I don't want my dues financing what is essentially now a centre right party at best. It makes little difference now who wins the next election. | | | |

A lot of people have been going after her since the 80s. Other MPs seem to get away with a lot less than what she is able to.
For whatever reasons she seems to draw out a lot of anger from some people. No idea why this is. |  | | |

I think its a shame its come to this - why couldn't he just accept the findings and apologise for the sake of the Left? This is just going to cause more trouble at the worse time. |  |

I'm sure they have, but its easy to see why this one would piss-off a black voter in her constituency, who went to Holloway Boys (famously a sh1thole school) rather than some private jobby. | |

Nothing he could have said would've made any difference to his fate. The comments he was suspended for making were true, provable, and obvious to everyone, those who pretended to be outraged by them included. [Post edited 15 Feb 2023 14:14]

This is spot on. The rich and middle class absolutely sh4t the bed at the thought of genuine social change. Suddenly people who had previously had no interest in racism and were previously quite happy to turn a blind eye to it or even encourage it were Suddenly trying to convince us that there main worry in life was antisemitism. |  | | |

You face the same dilemma as me but I'm holding on at the moment particularly given the fact that John McDonnell is still a member. | | | |
