Like I say, politics makes more sense once you understand these are not decent or well-meaning people, and that they are instead quite nasty, self-important and dishonest.
Honest write up from the Sunday Times about what @Keir_Starmer plans for Corbyn.

Today MPs and peers call for the 'absence' system to be scrapped
Please don’t retweet the truly appalling Nick Cohen on to my timeline just because he’s having a go at the Tories.
Cohen was one of the main architects of stopping a Labour Govt.
Surreally calm and quiet in Kyiv this morning. People going about their daily business. Just listened to a whole radio news bulletin in a taxi and Russia wasn’t mentioned once. Bars last night were packed. A scarily parallel reality to media reports.
Hey @michaelgove have you listened to The Trojan Horse Affair podcast yet? You don’t come out of it very well, using an anonymous fake letter to promote Islamophobia and ruin lives…shocking #trojanhorseaffair
