Ah, Schrödinger Corbyn! Just like immigrants, who seem to be simultaneously “taking people’s jobs” and “not contributing”, JC is “a waste of time and space” who’s apparently capable of “destroying parties and country”. Bring on the new party, can’t come fast enough!

Do you prefer that Fascist Totalitarian Starmer?

Those of us interested in the new Party were all wondering how Starmer would react to it and what lies and rubbish he would come up with to try to stop people supporting it. Trying to convince people not to vote for it because it would result in Farage being PM is obviously one way to go, in Starmer’s eyes probably, anyhow.

What Starmer doesn't realise is that Jeremy Corbyn's new party is the only piece of good news we have had in a very long time. It gives people hope when there has been none for a very long time. I truly hope people now realise the power we have when we unite.

And yet, if there were a hung parliament situation after the next election you can bet your bottom dollar Starmer's Labour would form a coalition with Reform before any Corbyn-inspiref party

Vote for Corbyn and Sultana to Clean out the Corruption and get Rid of that Fascist Totalitarian Starmer and his Motley Crew.

You should sent the author back to school. Dumb means bereft of the power of speech, not stupid, unless you're an illiterate American.

It also is commonly used to mean stupid, Stupid.

Who isn't superior to illiterate Americans? The American language died in 1979 and the last literate American was Gore Vidal.

That's a sweeping generalisation. I don't deal in generalisations-they are lazy thinking. Do you think all UK residents are eloquent?

I have met some very eloquent Americans- although I have never been there. I have met incoherent, mumbling people in my own country, despite having some eloquent friends and family. It's ridiculous to generalise on a country of millions.

No-one made you an arbitrator of American intellect . When you place yourself on a high pedestal, you are iviting people to look at your insecurities.

I see- so you have no defence for your argument-but to copy mine?

At what point in my reply is my argument sweeping? Where have I generalised?

I have only addressed you-not an entire country.

I think perhaps you don't understand English?

The person who will determine whether or not Corbyn succeeds is Rupert Murdoch. It is he who is the most powerful person in white Anglosphere politics (UK, USA, Aus). He works methodically, but unseen in the background like a snake, choosing who to put in power who will be most beneficial to him financially, as well as fit his political leanings. He exerts almost total control over public opinion through his media operations, in such a way that nobody actually realises they're being manipulated. He does this better than a Russian troll farm, because he's been at it a lot longer. And when he dies his like-minded apprentice son will continue the same way.

Murdoch seems to have set his sights on Trump at the moment, both challenging him and being determined to outlive him. I was hoping neither would last much longer, but you’re right, there’s the son…

There are no liberal-capitalists. Reform is continuity of agenda of the US deep state- fossil fuels, animal ag, arms, pharma, tech and media. As was Starmer. As was Sunak and Johnson.

Splitting the leftists vote may well help Fargae into power. But it wouldn't be Corbyn's 'fault'. It doesn't matter who's in power. If Corbyn's party really is anti-war anti-genocide anti-fossil fuels they'll never be allowed into power and if they are they wouldn't be able to change anything. The US deep state controls the UK's political system entirely.

Well, seems like so-called "Labour" is no longer a leftist vote; so Corbyn's party wouldn't be "splitting" it.

I joined the "your party uk" yesterday, so I will have a part in "handing the election to Farage".

The more join the new party, the less likely Farage will win, and the more powerful the message.

There's no way that I will let this opportunity pass me by.

I donated too; the last time I donated to a party was when Corbyn was the Labour Leader.

Are we absolutely certain that rocks ARE dumb? I'd hate to insult them by comparison with Farage if they actually have a slight element of intelligence.

I hate to point out that some people ARE dumb. At the end of WW2 Bevan got us everything-the Welfare state we deserved.

People gradually listened to the Tories-and voted it all away. The result was Thatcher asset stripping Britain for her mates-and a diminished NHS system.

Don't get me started on "care in the community".

The irony is if Corbyn just ran in areas where Labour were running and Reform were unlikely to win, they'd take the seats from Labour.

Then at that point, they'd end up with more MPs than Reform!

The thing is - Reform is ahead of Labour in the polls, but it's stuff like "75% lead in Clacton" - not 52% across the board.
