All this is irrelevant. His party will split the Labour vote and let in Farage imho

It will definitely not split the Labour vote, itโ€™ll take votes but not enough to have any meaningful impact.

Well, Reform split the Labour vote last time without any meaningful impact. You mean like that?

It's more likely to hurt Greens which is annoying as in 2025 they are better at being a left wing alternative party.

He's already lost massive support by refusing to support LGBT people because a couple of MPs in his alliance are deeply anti LGBT. He's a coward. This is like with antisemitism all over again.

Yeah, maybe. Heโ€™s still going to makes some sort of impact, based on the nutty FPTP system in the UK

He needs people willing stand as MPs who can win seats. And he'll be 80 then too.

Good point - they really need to get their act together quickly to establish some new faces. I think โ€˜Momentumโ€™ is a good name for their party - itโ€™s got a brand recognition from the Corbyn years.

So it's look back at past failures then, rather than looking forward and feeling new.
