This story says everything needed about politics in this country at the moment. Thoroughly nasty, no thought about public service and helping the less fortunate, all about performative cruelty and being out for what they can get. Completely despicable

The Centrists and Labour Right are a nest of vipers. The same snakes that have destroyed Labour and made them an empty vessel of Corporate and Donor greed and influence. Nobody should be in any doubt as to what and who Starmers Labour are in hock to and how little they will do, if anything, to address the rampant inequality in this land of thieves, media hacks and rich influence of government policy. They will literally 'Change' nothing and likely open the front door of No 10 to Farage and his ilk. Then they'll blame Jeremy Corbyn.

Starmer has been an absolute car crash since taking over as pm and this is just another example of his obviously weak leadership.

This is not surprising in a party run by a narcissistic triumphalist bully. And it tells us a great deal more than their public pronouncements.

How any respectable paper can parrot the lie that he was a supporter of Corbyn, when he campaigned and voted for the nonentity that was, I can't even remember his name, beats me. I guess it's take any chance you get to put the boot in Corbyn, again just in case he gets above himself.
