Starmer kicked Abbott out of Labour precisely for articulating the experience of being a successful and prominent Black woman. She is no longer a Labour MP thanks to Starmer. You don't get to do that and then try to score political points using her. He is a disgusting man.

Starmer called Labour "The party of Remain" and pushed a second ref policy which cost them about 90 seats. He then imposed a three line whip to vote through Johnson’s Brexit deal, and now refuses to even talk about Brexit. If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.

This is disastrous for Labour. Sure, there was tactical voting. But as the second placed party last time, it should have been for them! Starmer's whole pitch is to turn them into Tory-lite to win over disillusioned Tory voters. If that can't work here, and now, where can it work?

It makes no sense for the "suspended" Labour MPs to seek a return to Labour. They have won the argument, they have five years in Parliament, and Starmer wouldn't allow them to stand for Labour in 2029 anyway. They are far more powerful as independents, and more should join them.
