    From what I remember there was a split in momentum when he first became leader and they've been pretty neutered since. The Labour right have cracked down on the left of the party including blocking left wing candidates from running for party positions.

    There was kind of a 50/50 split with some people leaving the party cuz of this direction and the others saying we should stay and try to push it left still.

    Starmer has completely tanked in support since suspending Corbyn and he'll likely get merc'd at local elections in May so there might be a leadership challenge then but the Labour left is gonna be dead for a while.

      It’s funny because I expected the worst in terms of how keir starmer would do, and he’s exceeded my expectations all the way down. Lmao incredible job of killing off Labour forever
