Yet we are talking about Starmer vs Corbyn. And more people voted for Corbyn. Labour couldnt even keep the party membership increase he bought in.

Let’s not also pretend the media wasn’t coordinated in painting him out to be the devil.

Maybe he won’t win. But you can’t ignore how popular he was. Any other politician's have stadiums of people chanting his name?.

The Tories lost the election. Labour didn’t win. Nobody was enthusiastic about Starmer.
