People will scoff but Starmer is first Labour leader since Kinnock to come from a working-class background. He didn’t grow up in some fantasy world of dinner party socialism unlike many middle-class leftists .Explains a lot

It is now almost obligatory now to personally abuse the leader of the Labour Party in the most horrible of ways as proof of being ‘left’ Extraordinarily sad when you consider it is the absolute opposite of what Jeremy stood for in 2015 . So why doesn’t he say a word against it ??
