If Labour are ever going to appeal to the electorate then they have to ditch the loonies, that's obvious so this isn't much of a revelation is it?

The problem with the Labour Party of Corbyn and co is that it is a party based entirely on fictional idealism, with little if any relation to real life in 2020.

Jeremy who?
Momentum- a prime example of the loony left.
Its personal too for Keir Starmer. His wife is Jewish and comes from a religious family.
Hardly surprising that the left and right wings of any party vie for dominancy. Not much to see here ?
The far left in Labour is in disarray. Which is quite an achievement given they appeared to have the party in a stranglehold a while back
It was never going to be easy getting rid of Momentum given they got their tentacles into all parts of the Party and the Unions who fund them.

Sir Kier is actually doing a good job I think.
You have got to remember Corbyn and Momentum and their anti-semitic friends are still embedded in the Labour Party.Until Starmer excises(ruthlessly)this cancer within,it can never expect to win a election,either now or in the future.
Sir Kier may pause in his reforms in case the resident right wing junta on Answerbank turns on him as the have on the sainted Mr Blair despite his success in moving the unelectable into power for a time.

Please try not to leave flecks of spittle when you comment now. :-)

have a day off dougie me old china, proper labour have not won since 1974. St Tony had to pretend to be Tory to get the keys to No 10. the public will never let "Labour" win again unless they become Tory Lite. The entire world has accepted that socialism cannot work, end of.

TBH it's sad for democracy because the voters really have no alternative.

With Scotland now being run by the SNP can anyone see Labour ever getting in power in the UK again?
Ho-hum,Douglas.I wonder which party you vote for at elections?A nationalist party perhaps.If so you should be ashamed of yourself.Nationalists are the scourge of the world right now.

a pound to a pinch of tish dougie votes Labour.
Just a continuation of the ongoing battle between the right wing of the party, that wants to get into power, and the left wing, who don't care about power so much as maintaining the ideological purity of the party.
The problem with the Labour Party of Corbyn and co is that it is a party based entirely on fictional idealism, with little if any relation to real life in 2020.

Corbyn still thinks he is fighting mill owners and chucking clogs into machinery, and that everyone wants to be as badly off as everyone else.

The Labour Party's wilful unwillingness to appreciate the changes in society in general, and its voter profile in particular, is what led to its crushing defeat in the last election.

The concept of aspiration is like a cross to a vampire for Corbyn and co, but it absolutely fuels the desires and attitudes of the modern working person, and that is why they comprehensively abandoned the Marxist drivel that Corbyn spouted at them.

It's fine for Corbyn, his entire life has consisted of living in a world of theoretical socialism, utterly untouched by even a hint of reality.

The problem for his party, is that they live in the real world, not the fictional one he enjoys, and they have no time for his fantastical visions of socialism which are no more rooted in the real world that the tooth fairy.

Mr Starmer may realign the party with reality, if he can lose the fanatical Left, which can see its power draining away, but it will be a long and bitter fight, maybe longer than his career.

Either way, Corbyn hangs on as an embarrassment, he feels he didn't lose the election, he simply failed to get his views across. The reality is, he got his views across perfectly, and they were all utter nonsense.

Sir Kier has a mountain to climb - we'll see if he's got the oxygen for it.
Tora me old china, your tiresome, worn-out comments need refreshing.

So samey.
