@Sheelbs@LeftieStats obviously, because they disagree with your worldview; baffling that people still think today is how politics should be run, baffling!
@mxwebs20@LeftieStats Anyone would think what you have now is a paradise. It's a total failure and Corbyn has been right on pretty much everything - housing, NHS, digital access, green issues, social care, poverty, tax on wealth, nationalisation - what is it about NOW that is so good? baffling!
@JohnHad96453660@LeftieStats myopic viewpoint; vote share says otherwise, higher than Blair in 2017, and that's after the press and his own MPs tried to torpedo him at every corner.
@Michael75036094@LeftieStats his vote share was still high - that's the biased electoral system for you; plus it was voters over 65 that actually swung the election away from Corbyn, the detail of who did what is in the demographics and you need this to understand what happened
@PaulBrandITV@BBCr4today It's concerning that a politician who makes promises to become leader can break these without a sweat or apology. Is it old-fashioned to want trustworthy politicians? Calling yourself 'pragmatic' is not an excuse to mislead voters. If you can't keep promises, don't make them!
@OppositionWe@TimesRadio@MattChorley 2017 was exceptional for Corbyn (higher vote share than Blair in 2001 and 2005, and a PLP against him), but 2019 was not great, though his votes still exceed Miliband and Brown, neither of which are being thrown out of the party.
@pzparker@TimesRadio@MattChorley LSE analysis of antisemitism provides an objective picture. 34% public thought Labour antisemitic, 0.3% members found to be antisemitic. It's up to you if you agree this is 'exaggerated' - all cases are tragedies however.
@TimesRadio@MattChorley Chomsky is one of the greatest philosophers in the 20th Century so to shout at him, interrupt him and score points off him is not good journalism . We know Corbyn lost two 'elections' - his 'victory' , says Chomsky, is the giant swing to Labour on a left ticket despite the odds.
@owlsgreen@OwenJones84 If I'm correct, Corbyn has more than 40 years as a successful local MP and his CLP adore him and have written a letter stating they want him. His constituency is also multicultural. You either stand for democracy or you don't.
@wesstreeting@OwenJones84 It's a disgraceful slur, which insults so many different groups, so I'm surprised that there has been no admonishment from Labour HQ.

@NewStatesman Spot on! Starmer - a leader who makes promises to his members and then promptly breaks those promises and pretends he meant something else, who is currently supervising a mass purge of socialist thinkers, many from the Jewish Voice for Labour and thinks Blair was an honest man!
@SKinnock@Keir_Starmer Your behaviour leading up to 2019 Stephen was one good reason why my vote didn't count when I chose Labour at the ballot box. We have Boris Johnson today because of the sabotage you and other PLP instigated. A sorrowful reflection on Labour democracy, so no preaching please!
@GeraldJonesLAB@Keir_Starmer@UKLabour@WelshLabour@WelshLabPress It was competent Gerald but I think you are over-reaching and doing so for mischievous reasons. Long and occasionally self-indulgent. But mostly words and actions (e.g. care, tolerance) not being synchronous as Andy McDonald exposed. Keep promises. Stop attacking your own side.
@patmcfaddenmp@Keir_Starmer You've chosen to see this as a binary offer which is showing deep disrespect to many thousands of activists who campaign and vote for labour, a party that once boasted 500,000 members, the biggest in Europe. You insult them by suggesting that what went before was illegitimate.
@IanDunt My understanding is that the hecklers were specifically holding Starmer to account for his support of a Β£15 minimum wage when it suited him, and his subsequent disavowal thereafter. Saying one thing, and doing something different is not dignified, whatever your soundbites express
@ayeshahazarika It's a sad indictment that you must forever continue to malign the last leadership, despite his influence on changing the mood-music of austerity, so you prefer to alienate many thousands of young activists. Humility and empathy are also part of a caring environment - missing!
