Just keep them away from everything.
Corbyn was an idiot, and Starmer is a nincompoop.
You're just looking at personalities.
Have you forgotten how the last Labour government had 11-plus years of low inflation, low unemployment, high growth, low interest rates, low child poverty, record investment in the NHS...... [the list goes on].
And it didn't need austerity & food banks to achieve that !
OK,
Tony Blair dropped the ball when it came to
Iraq, but the domestic situation, monitored by
Gordon Brown as chancellor of the exchequer, did a marvellous job !
These achievements have been airbrushed out of the picture by the right-wing media, who have demonised both men.
For years the Tories kept on about the mess they
'inherited from Labour' - craftily neglecting to mention the world-wide recession [thanks to the US] in 2008, which preceded Labour's failure in the 2010 general election.
