If he wants to try it that way then good luck to him.

The Tories seem to manage it.

They're as tight as two coats of paint at election time.

Said before Labour will never win unless its a broadchurch. The only pure socialist L/Party was in 1945 and it was very different times to 2021.

Yes too many selfish people around now.

He won't win though. There's nothing to suggest he has any chance of winning an election.

It's like coming on and saying Boro winning the Premier League next season is more important than beating Sheff Utd tonight. You're dismissing something that would help for the sake of something that's not happening anyway.

The party isn't a broadchurch now. It's less of a broadchurch than it was under Corbyn, as he didn't boot out anyone and everyone who wasn't in his little faction as Starmer is doing.

Not bothered whether is was Corbyn, Starmer or FN Ronald McDonald as long as the Tories get booted out. I’m afraid it’s pragmatism over principles on this one for me

The electorate have now sussed this mob of incompetent, self serving scumbags. IF Labour sort themselves into a half decent alternative then they will stroll in. Even Corbyn once came close to pedalling them and that was with a shadow cabinet of clowns.

Just bang on with that.

Have to agree with this. Both parties can be incredibly factional and divided at times, but the Tories almost always pull together in time to get elected whilst Labour get bogged down with infighting, often over issues that won’t win votes and much of the electorate aren’t immediately bothered by.
