Rayner coup will trigger election, Starmer allies warn rebels PM’s supporters say new Left-wing agenda would require fresh mandate

Utter bollocks, left wing is what we expected from the Labour party but we got Starmer's neo-liberal nazi-lite crap instead.

Peter Mandelson: I try to undermine Jeremy Corbyn 'every single day' Ex-minister speaks out against Labour leader as Blairite peers express fury about Corbyn’s position on Brexit in Lords debate

"Peter Mandelson, the architect of New Labour, has said he is working every day to undermine Jeremy Corbyn"

It's a good time to remind people, a lot of the smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn, in the media, was orchestrated by Peter Mandelson.

Some people say Keir Starmer has been dealt a bad hand.

We're still in January and he's already signed a defence deal with Palantir - knowing full well how unpredictable and dangerous the US President is.

We're way past the point of giving pleading appeasement speeches.

Greens look set to clean up as Labour switchers move left Labour voters liked the insurgent party even before the arrival of their new leader. As local elections approach, Zack Polanski appears ready to break through in the areas Keir Starmer neglected

It looks like it's now too late for Labour to learn that becoming Tories was never going to be a strategy to win over their base. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

We need a strong PM that would send a big fuck you to the orange manchild. Unfortunately, our strong leaders are from the right, which would be in-bed with Tango Donny. Blair was a Bush groupie in the end. Starmer - nuff said!

Because essentially she is pursing right-wing policies along with Starmer's version of 'Labour'.

Starmer is either a liar (again) or got duped by the most corrupt and obvious liar alive today.
