Jeremy is better than the current leader, the British media hate him. He was a honest man

There’s nothing “far left” about social democracy. Corbyn wasn’t far left. None of his policies were any more radical than what you would find in any Scandinavian social democracy.

I agree entirely with Alex Nunns, the only one telling the truth here. Jeremy Corbyn had the support of the overwhelming majority of Labour Party members and the Unions, not something Starmer can ever claim. Starmer only won as the result of a LOW turnout, and only has the support of the PLP.

Corbyn’s policies were not “far left”. Are you claiming the Nordic countries are “far left”? The manifesto contained many very popular policies

I was suspended in 2015 for being pro corbin on a Labour website. Effectivley stopped from voting in the then leadership contest. I left the party, stopped paying my membership. I had been a member since i was 18. I am now 50! There was nothing democratic about what happened to me.

Starmer is an extremely toxic and dangerous character whose track record as DPP and Labour leader should be a serious concern to anyone in the UK and beyond.

I like how you claim Corbyn was unpopular with the public as we watch thousands of people singing his name. The bloke was a couple thousand votes from power despite his own party undermining him and every single newspaper posting negative stories 24/7.

Keith doesn't have to "unite the party" he's expelled everyone who doesn't agree with him.

It should be criminal..what certain people within labour did to Jeremy. They should face reprocussions

Only Corbyn meets the criteria to be a labour leader.

Far-left? Ridiculous analysis of clearly centre-left politics.

Poor Britain! Just when it so desperately needs an alternative to Truss's insanity, to have a bunch of right-wing snakes in charge of the Labour Party is just sad. If I were Scottish or Northern Irish or Welsh, I'd be heading for the exits.

What happened to Jeremy was the same thing that happened to us all an injustice, in which will never get an apology for.

Really Mr Curtice, the Party was never against Corbyn it was the Parliamentary Party that was. There is a huge difference and that in itself is a problem.

Lis and Curtice seem to understand very little about the extent of the damage that Starmer has done. It's not something that previous supporters can 'move on' from, because it was so disgustingly wicked. Only people with no morals will see it as history, and many could never trust Starmer after his despicable behaviour.

Even in 2019 Corbyn had a higher percentage of the vote (32.1) than Miliband (30.4), Brown (29.0), Kinnock in his first run (30.8) and Foot (27.9). His vote in 2015 was the third highest Labour vote in 45 years. (I corrected the date of Corbyn's second election.}
