In reply to the discussion: Labour leapt into Brexit's fires - and now the party is burning [View all]Denzil_DC
(7,216 posts)At this stage, with what this country's currently facing, all this talk about Corbynites, the PLP etc. etc. is a massive turnoff to anybody who's not so embroiled in Labour's infighting that they can't see the wider picture. We have bigger fish to fry (and we're trying to keep out of the frying pan).
If things work out as May apparently hopes, you'll see austerity on stilts, we'll have a trade deal with Trump (assuming he lasts) that'll decimate workers' rights and probably see our NHS privatized, I could go on and on. It's beyond a left/right issue at the moment. It's about survival. Under Corbyn, Labour's headed down the same road no matter who leads it, because they're discarding options left, right and centre in their support for the Tories' hard Brexit agenda and cravenness about chasing Leave votes. The "real fight" started a year ago - Labour threw in the towel.
