A simple change of leadership would not do the job of fixing Labour - the rot extends far beyond LOTO's door. Really we need to be talking about replacing 150+ of the PLP at least
The public, rightly, can't expect us to get the country in order if we cannot get our own house so.

Mandatory reselections now, for the health of this bloody party, and selection of talented working class candidates is absolutely necessary.
We've got MPs who've had their noses in the trough far too long & have gotten very complacent.

What we saw in the Conservative Party under Boris Johnson was no less than a revolution of hegemony; ten years ago that was a firmly pro-EU party. Under Boris, that was binned and anyone who wasn't with the revolution was binned with it.
The Labour Party has not really had a complete internal revolution since Blair and Mandelson; theirs worked for the time. Corbyn's revolution was woefully incomplete. Its about breaking an old hegemony & supplanting it with a new one; he didn't solidify a new hegemony.
Rn, bluntly, this party is not fit for government, & the public can see it with their own two eyes.
Labour needs an internal revolution, it's too fractured. For the sake of the kids queuing up at food banks & all other victims of Tories, one side needs to win this internal war.

I'm personally of the mind that the left & the soft left must firm up an alliance & complete this work. Neither is strong enough on their own to create a new hegemony.
The soft left never had their face spat in under Corbyn like they just have under Starmer, Mandelson & Evans.
