    The move comes ahead of Labour’s conference

    Ohhhh, OK. He’s lying to pacify the left of the party, just like he did when he was running for leader.

    I did think it sounded out of character.

        Lots of left members still. Not so many MPs A few hang on but yep dispite the right of the party taking every option to accuse Corbyn of wanting to deselect centrist MPs. They are the only ones to actually do so.

    Why the sudden change of heart? I welcome any move to the economic and/or social left, so in theory, this is very good news - but it does raise the question of why his tongue has spent half a year so far up Donald Trump’s arse, that he could taste Nigel Farage’s boots.

      Why?

      He has limited time left as leader. And hopes to change that.

      Good news?

      Honestly I doubt it. His solutions are unlikely to be anything but anti immigration and involve no effort to level out current wealth inequality. He will just use Farrages anti British comments in as a war cry. But I’m guessing.

      Donald Trumps arse?

      Is still likely very wet.

    If he wanted progressivism he would have gone ahead and started on that over a year ago when they got into power. Going off his and his cabinet’s words and actions so far he really doesn’t want progressivism. I’ll wait and see what happens but this just seems like he’s trying to capitalise on the Your Party controversy, hoping by saying stuff like this that some of the people who went over to YP from Labour come back

    Yeah, crossroads. The nazis are invading britian again, and this time they’ll fuck things up 100x worse than brexit.

    Oh, and they’re funded by nazi billionaires across the globe. So, nonstop bots posting nazi bullshit and propaganda.

    kid starver finally realizing that the right-wing knuckle draggers he’s been courting still think he’s a gay trans communist and will never vote for him even if he made a tiktok of him personally pushing immigrants off the dover cliffs
