Silly professor, let me explain. Politics has 3 boxes: left, center, and right. The right box is already occupied by Reform so Labour definitionally cannot also occupy that box. Labour occupy the centre. The left is Corbyn. Everyone else is irrelevant which is why Labour have to chase the right box.
Watching people do this for decades and continue to punch themselves in the face and learn nothing really is wild.
It's just fortunate we eventually crossed paths so I could explain all these modern concepts to your pre-enlightenment thought-addled brain.
I'm beginning to think that never learning a lesson and repeating the same mistakes over and over again is the essence of the human condition.
I read an appropriate post somewhere along the lines:- "The lesson we learn from history is we don't learn from history"! Pretty depressing really.
The current Home Secretary, who says she has evidence of an imminent terrorist threat from Palestine Action, is a politician who voted for the Iraq War and who blocked any investigation into how we got involved in it. Maybe the there’s a reason ‘we’ never learn in there – but keep me out of it.
I believe it's called sensible politics, I think you'll find 😏 - I am very smart.
