by what metric? Number of left MPs in parliament? About equal - maybe a few more now. Starmer has put down a 20% minimum of PLP votes? Well, Blair literally just handed the keys to Brown

Bair's HQ was as right as it came, and the position of unions and CLPs was pretty similar to today: pretty ineffective when it came to setting policy or putting forward candidates opposing the Blair's line
