Some of the people who went to great lengths to smear Corbyn have now been given a generous payment by Starmer.
I suppose they went to great lengths insofar as they broke NDAs and lost their jobs to expose racism.

Glad to see this decision is opposed by the worst kind of people. The ones who are remaining true to their conspiratorial racism to the bitter end though

Jeremy Corbyn is seeking legal advice at this moment in time, so it isnt something I would comment on until the legal position has been sorted.

As an aside, there are a lot of people begging Corbyn to form a new party. I expect at his age he wouldnt be interested, but if he did, he would have 200,000 members in the first week, and he would completely scupper Starmers chance to be Prime Minister

If you want a racist loony left party where your anti Jewish schitk is tolerated... Join the SWP

Corbyn might be consulting legal advice, but only because he's repeated Milne's defamatory lies and is now facing litigation himself

Would it necessarily scupper Starmer?

What if it meant that some of those people who felt they could not vote Labour whilst Corbyn was in charge and deserted to the Tories were prepared to come back to (a new) Labour? Also, Brexit will (probably) have no impact on the next GE so people may be able to return to old allegiances.

If Layla Moran wins the LibDem leadership she said she wants to take the LibDems left of Labour, which might also cost them voters.

A middle ground Labour party could pick up a lot of votes.

Its hard to have a reasoned discussion with a person who gives no questions asked support to a apartheid racist state as you do, then calls anti racists...racist .

I had that thought as well, far from what the Brighton Labour party has done today the Tories suspended a counciller for Islamaphobic postings only to reinstate her two day later lest they lost control of the council.

Corbyn already scuppered Starmer's chance to be PM by delivering Labour's worst postwar GE result.

His imaginary new party would be lucky to get 5% of the vote

Or the moderates sympathise more with the Tories than they do the far left. Just depends which side you're on.

Well, not really. They didn't achieve a majority in 2010, 2015 or 2017. But they did under Boris. No point in anyone on the left diminishing the significance of the UK saying no to the left and yes to the right, so comprehensively both ways.

Inexplicably though, I must add. It shows why ideology trumps competency. They've been terrible fora decade but were rewarded with a big f*** off majority because people like their ideology and excuse their incompetence.
