Best plan for left-wingers is to ignore feeble attempt to provoke backlash in pursuit of ‘MSM’ attention
‘Labour’ ‘leader’ Keir Starmer is planning to make his planned speech in Bristol on Thursday an attack on Labour’s last real leader, Jeremy Corbyn, according to Labour sources.
The speech venue is being kept secret until the last minute in an attempt to avoid scenes of protests by large crowds outraged by Starmer’s support for Israeli genocide and apartheid, and disgusted by his adoption of Tory politics – and party insiders say that Starmer is frustrated at his inability to get the so-called ‘mainstream’ media’s attention and that his speech will be little more than another assault on Corbyn in an attempt to provoke an online reacton from left-wingers and get the media to give him airtime.
The best response from the left, therefore, is to treat Starmer’s feeble tactics with the disdain they deserve and ignore them while talking positively about the left’s vision and the hope it offers, rather than to engage and boost both his social media metrics and the chances of the media taking notice.
