An excellent analysis, change the names and you have the same for the USA.....NO ALTERNATIVE. It is a one party system to protect the rich, oops, I meant to

protect the welfare system for the rich - privatise profits and socialise risks. It is everywhere. What will it take to shatter this system? Differences are simply cosmetic. Thank you.

Another article that's spot on.

The UK is now a one party state that has only a little difference in shade.

This has not just happened it's been a steady and gradual shift resulting in a Hobsons choice for the electorate.

When there is hardly anyone on the Labour benches calling out the zionist state for what it is, a murderous apartheid ethnically cleansing entity you know the socialists have been silenced or made to make a cringing apology for speaking the truth

Starmer has wrenched the guts and soul out of a party that should stand for equality through Socialism.

The ordinary man and woman in the street has got to put his and her despair to one side and rally against capitalism and warmongering not just in the UK but globally. Mass demonstrations produce results just look at Israel, and Israel isn’t even a democracy. We can demand something better, maybe the Labour Left Alliance could persuade Diane Abbot to champion their cause, a new socialist party a new principled PM.

Don't follow what's happening across the pond - in England- but from the little I have read: Wish Corbyn could muster up enough support to run for PM.

Even if Corbyn were somehow to win, the United States would make it very clear that he was to be removed, one way or another.

Ya, it"s pretty crazy the way the Biden/CIA is handling foreign affairs. Guess that's why most in the developing world are aligning, loosely as a multipolar block. Unfortunately, the neoliberal establishment will go down swinging. Be prepared for the worst as this evolves.

Starmer is nothing less than a traitor, putting the final touches, delivering a mirror image of the hideous US circus that is a vile pretence to democracy. A serpent in the cradle, a fox in the hen house.

Starmer's goal is to turn Labour into the Tories, but with a different identity politics.

To be fair, none other than Mike Pompeo commented that if a Corbyn were somehow to get elected, the United States would ensure that he were removed from office.

Starmer is both a bastard, and a Zionist, and an idiot. And, of course, a coward.

Spot on analysis as usual Jonathan. Britain is now a failed state, a Banana Republic minus the bananas

Very true, and always a very good article. I despair with Labour party. Keir Starmer even says that Israel is not an apartheid state. Depressing
