They wrecked for five years to wrest control back, and they're doing WORSE than JC did. UK politics is awful, but it's pure schadenfreude as the labour right are losing seats that labour won under Corbyn, losing councils 11 years into opposition.

I agree. Same as it ever was. Glad you're out there agitating.
No idea what impact I have. Maybe disillusionment?
I think the main factor here is in Labour's base being completely and totally unwilling to campaign for Starmer, so with no popular support and no enthusiasm the people that don't usually make up Labour's base don't have anything impacting them to vote left.
That's what I think will lose him this anyway. Killing the morale of Labour's base over the last several months by consistently attacking Keith will probably do it.
What happens next will be interesting though. It's very clear that he will have to go if it's as bad as people expect... But who will he be replaced with and will the labour right accept they need to move left? I have no idea what is going to happen.
