but most left MP were deselected as the CLP selections were stitched up. Starmer is literally just copying what Blair and Kinnock did - because he's highly unoriginal, and because it's a lot of the same people doing it anyway, like Mandelson

All I'm saying is that opportunity will never arise in the Labour Party again. Stopping it is the whole personality of almost everyone in charge.

yes, of course - they'll take it to their graves, just as they do the memory of militant. but that makes them no more omnipotent than it did when corbyn became leader
