    on the contrary, i read exactly what you said. I dont mean in a semantic way, I mean I read it and understood it.

    The problem youve got is, Starmer is one person and the closest to an ‘establishment’ man the Labour Party has ever had. Hes a lawyer and knighted by the Queen ffs. But hes also part of a corrective streak lasting for ten years since, myself included with all my heart, when Corbyn won the right to challenge for the leadership and royally fucked it all up. That is what happened, and to me, it proved that arseholes like Boris will sneak in if we dont put sensible people up. People who can read, people who are dedicated to public service as a vocation not a hustle like these crooks. They promote people like Lammy and Rayner, people like Cooper are balanced out with real left wing heroes to get where they have without going through Eton or be related to a slave owning family dynasty or whatever.

    Im sorry but the real left wing has to do better than give up after a few blows from a dying tabloid culture. The left isnt just the leader, its the entire working class and probably a large chunk of the middle as well, and writing it all off as not ‘left wing’ enough is a lie.
