Another Future Is Possible Without Starmer, But Only The Left Can Deliver It
It’s make or break time for Keir Starmer. Now, you wouldn’t be wrong if you said Starmer chose the “break” option some time ago, because the facts speak for themselves. In just under two months the Labour leader has lost control of 8 councils and 322 councillors. Starmer has also lost the former Labour stronghold of Hartlepool to the Tories, and just a couple of weeks back he ensured a humiliated Labour were dealt their heaviest by-election defeat in 100 years in Chesham and Amersham, where they did so awfully they actually lost their deposit. Before I go any further… can you honestly imagine Jeremy Corbyn getting away with a record like that? An angry Tony ‘Skeletor’ Blair would escape from his mausoleum to appear on Radio 4 to insist ‘hard-leftist’ Jeremy should be at least 104 points ahead of the Tories. The Parliamentary Labour Party, barely a sniff of socialism between them, would burn effigies of Corbyn in Parliament Square. Peter Mandelson will slide his way through the door
