The best thing for GB would be for Labour to just go away.

“...in a ballot of party members and other supporters.”
What “other supporters” are allowed to vote in an intra-party election like this? Commies, I suppose, but still.

Yep. The party started by Fabian Socialists.

I have a dream. Let’s send them and the rats in massive space ships to mars with almost enough fuel to get there.

Not that we might (or might not) have spaceship surfaces that can keep the ionizing radiation out forever . . .

Well, better than Corbyn, I suppose.

How sincere would a Democrat pledging to purge antisemitism from his/her party sound, though?

Starmer has an impressive record & is not a hate-filled extremist like Corbyn.
He either could be real trouble for Boris, or the two might learn to work together.

His “impressive record” includes too many left-wing bona fides. Leftism is inherently antisemitic (never mind anti-Christian) no matter what comes out of his mouth.

...he apologized for the "stain" of anti-Semitism that has tainted Labour in recent years. He pledged to "tear out this poison by its roots" and said his success would be judged on whether former Jewish members return to Labour.
Yeah, good one.

The Labour Party has gone away. And they aren’t coming back.
To: Da_Shrimp
The Blairites have returned.

Clearly, the Labour Party is sexist. They chose an old, white, rich, aristocrat over two women.

Aristocrat?? Old?? Rich??

If he has to choose, he’ll keep the Muslim members who rather like the anti-Semitism.

Apparently non members were given a brief window to register as supporters to vote. There are also “affiliated supporters”, members of certain unions.
Anyway the Corybn commies are enraged, call this guy a “neoliberal” and “Blairite scum”.
Blair won 3 elections.
