And Blair has the blood on his hands of 1 million dead and displaced Iraq`s.
Murdered on a pack of lies. Along with 179 British servicemen - who were sent to their deaths on the fiction of "liberation".
He needs to stand alongside Putin in the ICC.

Why would he retire?

In my opinion he could do more good leading and fundraising for his campaign organisation. The thing the left needs more than anything is for its policies to be talked about. Look at the support Mick Lynch was able to win for striking workers over the last year just by being able to out argue the media.

I know he's a great constituency MP so it'll be nice for the folk in Islington North if he stands and wins as an independent. But what benefit would there be to the rest of us? He'll have zero direct influence on policy whether it's a Labour or Tory gov.

Starmer's faction are so vexxed by Corbyn's presence it honestly might be easier for the wider left to extract compromises from a right wing Labour government without his face being there. I'm really not exaggerating much to say I'd worry about a PM Starmer launching some kind of ground war with Russia just for the sake of contradicting something Corbyn says about the need for peace talks in the next parliament.
 
Success is a Labour government, rather than a Conservative one - I would have that that was self-evident?
Exactly NOTHING else matters

:rolleyes: Whats the difference if what you end up with is a "pro-business", anti-union, Thatcherite party that criminalises protests? How will you be able to tell that you don't have a Conservative government? Starmer's Labour are like the pigs at the end of Animal Farm.

Seems a bit of a stretch to go from being a hugely popular Labour leader to throwing the towel in on the back of Starmers Liberal Undemocrats recent decision.

I’ve seen some tosh on here over the years but I think your last sentence might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve read in my life

In your opinion.

I think that a more centrist Labour only ever have a realistic chance at success, as history has proven - do you not agree?

Do you not think a more moderate Labour would be an infinitely better government than the current Tory catastrophe?
 
Labour’s 2017 manifesto was moderate.
And we come back to its leader, who the right wing press weaponised - this is the very thing this thread is about.

I have a lot of respect for JC and his workd view, but that's not the issue under debate here.

I definitely don't agree that history has proven being centrist = election success. The centrists have a real knack for throwing Miliband, Brown, Kinnock, the Lib Dems, Change UK all down the memory hole eh?

Getting back to the right wing press dictating our leaders

I think that post just proves my point?

Centrist and moderate are not the same thing. Again you really need to start defining what you mean by the terms you use or there is no room for debate.

Corbyn's manifesto was moderate by any reasonable measure. Therefore the answer to your second question is a resounding yes.

A Starmer led Labour on the other hand is looking more and more like being a catastrophe for both the country and the left.
