Sludge, you talk as if Corbyn should be thinking in terms of how he can help keep Labour, the party that he led and then he was kicked out of, in power. I was going to say Labour has drifted to the right under Starmer, but that would be wrong, it’s been a headlong rush, it’s not just been that though, they’ve been so bad at politics.
There’s been a need for a new party on the left since Starmer became PM, well before that probably in fact, and I welcome it.Will I be voting for the new party? Too early to say yet, but I know for a fact that in certain aspects (eg Gaza, Trump, an alternative to the politics of the past forty five years) their views will more closely match mine than Starmer’s Labour does.
