However, I'd be expecting some/all those independents might be assimilated into Proj Corbyn?!
Corbyn will motivate the young fair enough... but the Left left Labour before the last election (hence 4 x Greens)
Possibly the biggest losers here will be the Greens

30.07.2025 08:30 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I personally feel this new party will hurt the Greens most
The Left left Labour at the last election (hence 4 x Green MPs)
I'm staying optimistic and the thought of a FrogFace govt will bring out the shy voters for all the Progressive parties
For the same reason 17/19 saw big(ish) turnouts. Brexit motivated
The last election didn't motivate as the Tories were seen as beyond cooked/finished
FrogFace turns off more people than he inspires. Hopefully (& with Progressive voting loaning) the worst case scenario will be a Left coalition ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Im guessing (probably too optimisticly) that the thought of this weasel getting in will bring out the shy voters against him in 28/29
Elections are 'normally' won on centre ground.. hopefully rules out FrogFace (and Corbyn for that matter)
Im thinking at this stage, Corbyn is a bigger threat to the Greens than Labour...
Many on the Left have already stopped voting Labour, hence 4 x Green MPs (which was good news)
Me.... I'll vote progressive and whoever locally will keep out Tories/Reform. And that's what we ALL should do!!
But agree, Farage has a fascistic smell about him
If Corbyn is the decent person we both hope, he will only campaign at seats where Labour/Libs/Greens/etc aren't sitting
But I suspect he'll campaign where it hurts Lab most, & will possibly help Farage?
Best case he'll only take Green votes I fear
They did, but against 2 of the worst PMs the country has ever had, AND during a period of huge political motivation. And he lost
The British political system is a little more nuanced than just numbers. What Corbyn did wasn't sufficient, and he let the Tories in at THE most consequential of times

Meta to pull political ads in EU countries
EU regulations are designed to address concerns around information manipulation and foreign interference in elections.
The UK should put similar restrictions in place. Or better still #RejoinEU and benefit from EU wide regulations
Far-right thuggery spreads from Epping to Diss, while Farage spins & the media swoons.
Greens rise, Lib Dems mumble, Labour expels its conscience.
