Nick, hasn’t the European and US left embraced know-nothing Hamas supporters? Until Starmer purged Labour of Corbyn and some of the most antisemitic Corbynites the Labour Party lost elections to the allegedly know-nothing conservatives. Maybe Satrmer knows a very specific something, which is that parties dominated by frothing at the mouth far leftists enamored by Islamist terrorism don’t have a wide public appeal. That reform of Labour seemed to be an essential house cleaning ahead of this projected victory.
