There is a whole industry, a whole way of life, built around pretending it's more complicated than that, because it makes people feel less guilty or, in a lot of cases, gives them their whole politics/media career. But it isn't any more complicated than what Corbyn says.

Quick reminder that 95% of UK political pundits were outraged when Corbyn said there'd been a coup in Bolivia; an audience member even got chosen to ask a hostile Q on it in a BBC election Question Time. When it proved conclusively to have been a coup, everyone quietly ignored it
It is six months since the coup against Evo Morales this week.
We stand with people in Bolivia struggling for democracy, equality and social justice.

It's worth revisiting the context here:
- Corbyn released a dossier warning of plans to sell off more of the NHS
- the content of the dossier was totally ignored; instead the whole press decided it was "Russian" because... some Russians had at some point shared it
Jeremy Corbyn refuses to answer questions about Russian involvement in last year's general election.
Leaked government documents highlighted by Mr Corbyn during the campaign were almost certainly “amplified” online by Russia, the UK Government has said

I like how this "voting efficiency" stuff rehabilitates Corbyn, who evidently was not the worst leader ever who alienated the electorate with his racism and traitorous Marxism. In fact all that must have been fine given his total votes; he was merely a poor electoral strategist
Exactly this.
Labour winning this scale of majority with a relatively modest vote share is a sign of success, not of failure.
We can have a conversation about voting reform, but to underplay that achievement is both bitter and ridiculous

Since becoming Labour’s leader in the spring of 2020, Sir Keir Starmer has been focussed, ruthless and lucky. He purged antisemitism, shifted Labour to a more electorally credible centrist position by marginalising the left of the party - which included the symbolic expulsion of
