The funny/sad thing about this is, no matter how much they perform this right wing virtue signalling,  6 months out from the next election Murdoch will just flick a switch and Labour will be back to being commie Britain haters and Starmer the man who let Abu Hamza and the muslamic ray guns off the hook (pun intended).

One can only despair. At least we have Richard Leonard.

Labstain are back, baby. They’re bad again. Awhoo (wolf howl)

Sacking your MPs via Guido because they voted against immunity for war crimes.

The forensic former Director of Public Prosecutions, there.

Now that Corbyn is gone what Labour leader will get billionaires Mike Ashley, Branson and Dyson to give me money so I can sit in my mother’s basement and play football manager?

People don't have to vote for the Tories or the Lib Dems.

Here is Starmer's platform. That whole "common ownership" thing sound centre-right to you? 

It is a radical platform for a party which is still offering radical alternatives.

Tremendous banter. Keep on brown nosing the Tories, you big "Socialist".

But, that was at the time of his election. If the party makes it clear that they have abandoned commitment to Nationalisation then I'll be leaving the party. 

Will still probably vote for them because who the f**k else is there? Don't want a Tory/Lib Dem MP, even if Jess Phillips is my alternative.

I quite like Starmer, but I'm not sure how logical it is to have your Shadow Defence Secretary call the Bill "unconscionable" and then to sack PPSs for voting against it. 

[Antlion]

I’m not sure Starmer is worth liking or disliking. He’s the human equivalent of unbuttered bread served with room temperature water. He is this guy from Futurama.

It's going to be an excruciating, slow drift rightwards to try and persuade racist old boomers who have no intention of ever voting Labour again.

Quite. Labour are just inane, pointless shite both south and north of the border.

In two-party systems I suppose there's this feeling that if you're bland enough in opposition, you just need to wait until the sitting government piss off enough of the electorate and then you get your turn and begin slowly pissing enough people off until the other lot get their next turn.

This seems to the the central tenet of the Labour centre/right.

Labour in Scotland is finished.  No strategy or change of course will having any meaningful impact.

Post Independence I hope and believe Scotland will be run by a left-of-centre party or coalition, I can imagine one or two of the troughers trying to get in on the act.

This is definitely what Labour think and are banking on. The problem (well, one of them) is that the Home Counties tend to get pissed off with them and go running back to old Governess Tory far quicker than they get pissed off with the Tories.
