I agree, but they're not about to change their leader in the next six weeks, so it's still the wrong tree to be barking up in the weeks leading up to a general election.
And when is the right time?
Many of us said Corbyn would be a disaster when he was elected leader.
‘Get behind him - the enemy is the Tory Party’
He fucks up the referendum campaign...
‘Get behind him, he’s only representing what many people think... the enemy is the Tory Party...’
He loses the 2017 General Election against the Maybot.
‘Get behind him, look how far behind he was... they said he’d be wiped out so it’s really a victory... the enemy is the Tory Party. Keep the faith’
He refuses to campaign for Remain despite all the evidence of corruption, lies and the damage Brexit will do and keeps talking about some bullshit ‘Brexit for jobs...’
‘Get behind him, he’s just waiting for the Tories to melt down. They’ll self destruct and he’ll step in. The real enemy is the Tory Party and you don’t do anything when your enemy is self destructing...’
He comes up with a ridiculous plan to win an election, renegotiate a deal in six months (the EU extension is Jan 31st) then have a referendum between the new deal and Remain. But they won’t talk about Brexit during the election or say which side Labour would campaign for...
‘Get behind him, this election (which is clearly being fought over Brexit) won’t be about Brexit. What about renationalising the Post Office? The Tory Party is the real enemy...’
If Corbyn’s Labour wins or even loses by a small enough margin he’ll stick around like shit on a blanket. If he goes we’ll have more of the same.
There’s no good time for this. Labour needs a clear out or another party needs to take up the reins of progressive politics.
The Tory Party is the real enemy. And it is inexcusable that the Labour Party has utterly failed at a time when the Tories should have been in meltdown, and had been complicit in the greatest political crisis in the UK since the Second World War.
I find it incredible that for the second time in my life, the Labour Party’s left has vacated the heart of British politics and given right wing Tories the centre stage.
