Hope you're right @AndyRM - I am aware I have a tendency to stave off inevitable & crippling disappontment by embracing black, crushing nihilism, but the change in Corbyn's fortunes between 2017 & 2019 feel like an object lesson. There's also the growing complication of the Indy Splitter parties taking SNP votes and gifting seats to Starmer's drones. And if the SNP do look threatening, as you say Labour have previous for exhorting their base to vote Blue Fash.
I'd love to be right. I fear I am not. Whenever a politician with any credibility steps up they get absolutely ripped to bits. Charles Kennedy always sticks in my mind in this respect, a wonderful and open politician who was totally betrayed by his own party.
