It was only after the eighties that Labour really became so dominant. The tories would regularly be on 20+ seats from there earlier than that. And thereafter, either Labour were out of office or there majority was so big it didn't matter. I think 2005 was the other time, tho I'd have to go check.

Internationalist socialist solidarity forever! Down with the revisionist Starmer clique!
Great news for left wing politics outside Labour, TUSC have relaunched! Their latest act is to... welcome Chris Williamson onto their steering committee.
Useful to know where all the cranks are going to head I guess.

Currently no.1 on the iTunes UK hip hop and rap chart. An ode to comrade Corbyn!

....which dodges the issue that "The scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media." Which it was. Is the new discipline just to never talk of it again? Especially the bit about "inside the party" needs bringing up again for sure.
those guys are the boss now, so yeah.

Is there an inquiry into this lot still to come? Sorry i dont know their names or follow that closely. The Whatsapp message leaked inquiry thing bunch IYNWIM?
There was some talk of there being an investigation into that report and how it came to be leaked, but the chances of it finding anything of any use to the left in the party is pretty much zero I'd imagine. Most of the people on that whatsapp thing are no longer working for the party, and in some cases have been paid substantial sums in damages, which makes it pretty difficult for there to be anything critical of them to emerge from any investigation.
I don't think anything good can come from trying to mobilise within the Labour Party anymore, so there's probably not much point in digging in on it. Do your political work elsewhere, but make sure to exclude the cranks who helped fuck it all up for for the left in Labour.
Up to you innit. But bear in mind that the party is now controlled by people who looked at Boris Johnson and decided five years of that was preferable to a Corbyn led Labour government.

Most of us don't live in swing seats so it makes little difference other than sending vague smoke signals into the ether
Well. On current numbers Labour would need a swing harder than they got in the 1997 landslide, so chances are you're getting that next time anyway.
That is how the right get away with it and keep control of the party.
They are happy enough to abstain or vote for someone else when the left are in ascendancy, because it's not too much of a concern for them if the Tories win, but it's not so easy for the left.
But there comes a point when it's just not worth it.
Not when The North secedes.Yep, you too.

True, but on the other hand that's how the tories keep control of the country.

Yep. Johnson, a no deal Brexit, and a much increased chance of the break up of the UK was better than a Corbyn government for the people now in control of the Labour party.
