Play the long game rather than the "vote at the chippy with the hot chips" game that it became.
Corbyn isn't a Labour MP anymore, he is an independent MP because he had the whip taken off him.
Starmer and Labour want to get rid of 'Corbynism', the far left and Momentum and move the party back to the centre ground.
It's Blairism epitomised TBF!! He had one of two choices to make and he has gone for "phoney" Tony's one that was made all these years ago as well as Blair ensuring that Rupert Murdoch's press/media didn't fire continuous "broadside shots" into the bows of his political ship. IMO Blair wouldn't have won the 1997 election so well without that agreement. Starmer won't have that "assist" from the Tory press. Therefore he'll have no chance of making any inroads to becoming a UK PM unless the Tories implode or the previously described deposed Tories, who always opposed Brexit, finally "spark into life" and bring down Johnson and the rest of his cronies. A case of "keeping one's powder dry" until the appropriate moment.
