I have never wavered in my view that @jeremycorbyn becoming leader would be a disaster for @uklabour and that the country was never, ever going to put him in Downing Street. In a Parliamentary democracy, Opposition matters. He is a large part of why Brexit is happening and .. 1/4

.. why @BorisJohnson is in Number 10, doing the dreadful job he is doing. As I know from experience, it is not nice to be kicked out of your own tribe. But @Keir_Starmer clearly recognises that there can be no conciliation whatever with the anti-semitism that plagued Labour 2/4

or the self-indulgent nonsense that dominated so much in recent years, and was on display again today. JC leadership led to several wasted years and the damage done has been enormous. Starmer seems to recognise that. Tories will try to say he should not have served inside ..3/4

JC shadow cabinet, but becoming leader and acting as he has now done shows there was merit in staying to fight for change from inside. Today is an important moment in getting Labour back to what it should be. A party of power to make change, not protest to feel righteous 4/4
