When I was a teenager back in the 80's it was always in the news about the mad loony left. When I looked into it though & got interested in politics though the ideas of the left didn't seem loony at all to me. That was a big lesson not only on how the media tries to influence

us all to keep the status quo but how the so called Labour moderates treated the left. Now 40 years later nothing has changed. The moderates don't really want Socialists in the party only to help at Elections. It really makes me sick to think that the moderates are still

saying the same & acting even worse. They certainly didn't act as though they had any interest in a Labour Govt with Jeremy Corbyn as PM. I've come to the conclusion that so called Labour moderates only believe in the broad church when they are in control. They don't want

already cooked & gone.They seemed to think with what they deem a more acceptable leader we would be flying high in the polls.But Starmer has made a right hash of his first 6 months & we have been losing voters in our heartlands for years. He isn't the answer & neither is bland

centrism. Times are different to the 1990's. That's why we needed the Socialism of our last 2 manifestos. Just because we lost doesn't mean we wasn't right in what we saying. We shouldn't capitulate to get votes we need to win people over to Socialism.

No easy task but I don't feel we have a choice time is running out. So do I feel any loyalty to Starmer? Most definitely not. He's done the complete opposite of what he said he would do. He has no interest in uniting the party only getting rid of the left.
