This Once Great Movement Of Ours
Filuwaúrdjan:
A thread for general discussion of the British Labour Party, the wider British Labour Movement and wider issues pertaining to the pair of them. Please behave.

I can tell this is a thread where I'm going to make myself very popular

There is no obligation to take part unless you have something useful to contribute :)
Reconstructivist:
I’ve already moved on, and I urge anyone else to choose better, albeit now smaller, pastures from here on out. The Labour Party’s ability to serve the British working class is dead, with cheers from the holders of Capital in Britain ecstatic that the nominal left party is of no threat to them.
World politics is up Schmitt creek:

Did people come to this same conclusion when Blair was elected Leader in 1994? If so, clearly the Labour Party's ability to serve the British working class wasn't dead then, unless one is seriously going to argue that Blair's UK was materially no different for workers than Cameron's/May's/BoJo's; if not, then coming to this conclusion now implies the absolutely ludicrous belief that Starmer and his people are to the right of Blair and his people. The fact that any sane person could possibly hold that belief speaks to Corbyn's success in moving the party's center of gravity durably leftward, not to his many and various failures.
