Sorry but this is just absolute nonsense. Corbyn and Miliband did not do nothing, they both forced the governments of the day into numerous defeats and climb downs. I think Corbyn’s opposition broke the record for that didn’t they? And Miliband stood up for what he believed in as well.You can't do anything when you're not in power. The same way Cobyn did absolutely zero, as did Milliband etc.
I’m not saying Starmer’s opposition hasn’t done this but are there as many, or any, examples of him/his opposition defeating the government? Or taking a big stand against things that matter more than most. I know they abstained on extending free school meals, for example. And abstained on the welfare cap vote. But what are the big things they’ve stood up and actually opposed.
Not criticising, just interested to know what you come up with.
