Momentum made him into who he became, he was some old man 70 odd, hes 80 now and he was and always will be opposed to centrist Labour (not sure why he has a home worth millions never mind his bank account) but always hitched a ride within the labour party.Momentum had him over a barrel with the EU and the right wing of the Labour Party would allow him to take their fingers out of the pies., and in no way would they allow him to have the state of Palestine recognised. The first manifesto was golden.. they should have stuck with it and they should have made sure we had PPCs to back it up. Boris chose his side and got rid of anyone who opposed him.. he made sure he had the backing of UKIP/Brexit Party to get him over the line. Corbyn didn’t even have the Greens on side!
Golden opportunity wasted. One which we will never see again.. the powers that be make sure of it.
Momentum was a private company who was owned and run predominantly by British Jews - Lansbury & Schneider. Ill agree its good to have some positive good socialist policies but you have to play cute to beat this far right bunch and get in. You have to remember the main aim is to have a Labour Party elected in to government, but Jeremy was up against a full on right wing media, his appointment was a piece of cake for them to make Labour fail again..
Starmer is one of their own, a "Sir" who played it well. He looked a safe pair of hands and gave the democracy they claim we have some credibility, even now he has to make sounds to the right wing and they stupidly do the back peddling for him, I suppose ignorance is bliss, so Starmer he retracts what ever they think they are hurting him with : ) to serve a social policy... never happened with the farmers and school vat though did it.
The idea is to get in and over 5 years change things so people begin to feel the benefit. Don't go on that mode of "I'm an urban guerrilla and super far left and will stand by my ideology its been a stitch up" you'll never get in Govt in Britain like that, and there's never been a time that you would.
The winning is in the centre and has been for a while now.
