Hey, don't knock the Labour left.
They're doing the vital work of disrupting and holding to account the REAL enemy: Labour centrists. Once they're vanquished forever, they can start on the Lib Dems. Then the SNP and the Greens. By 2060, they should be ready to start taking on the Tories.

Labour's infighting is an absolute mess
But this is a revisionist history. It was Labour centrists who spent the past few years fighting bitterly against their own party rather than putting on a united front against the Tories. That was a disaster. Right now there is far less at stake (politically).

Indeed, and I don't think I said that wasn't the case
but right now it's the Labour left who are fighting bitterly against their own party. (I mean, Corbyn's self-sabotage over the antisemitism report looked to me like a blatant attempt to goad Starmer into suspending him, and I reckon he's delighted that it worked.)

The difference is that the centrists have a slightly better chance of forming a government following a vote by the great unwashed. Corbyn's fan club never seems to be able to grasp that his popularity within their bubble doesn't increase the size of that bubble enough to win an election.

Or maybe we should just reinstate Jeremy as leader, and see if it's third time lucky.
