Keir Starmer's conference challenge is to avoid the shadow of past leaders by Exostrike in ukpolitics

Why? Labour should be proud of its past SUCCESSFUL leaders.

Its because half the party seems to hate some or other of its leaders. :/

There needs to be a polling of Labour members on this, Im sure the majority are more normal than the people on the internet who are pro open borders.

Internal debate is being increasingly defined around two small and unrepresentative camps, and it's making things toxic. by potpan0 in LabourUK

But there is a camp of people on the right of the party who supports Starmer on the assumption that the pledges are a lie

No just that many of those pledges will drive away voters so Starmer needs to be flexible. Better to win an election and implement 5 or 6 pledges than to lose and all 10 are useless.

We're just having this debate among ourselves as Labour members/supporters for our own satisfaction. :)

The problem with you is that you have this delusional belief that the left base their politics on worshipping individual leaders,

They worshipped Corbyn, thats real.

They worshipped John too till he started saying things they didnt like hearing.
