Jeremy Corbyn, unexpectedly, was elected leader. Tom Watson became his deputy. Tom Watson never failed to brief against Corbyn at every opportunity, though he remained his deputy. Other members of the Miliband right-wing faction, lots of them, when Incited, refused to serve in Corbyn's shadow cabinet, and they also briefed against him, frequently. A cabal of disaffected Israel sympathisers ran a prolonged and concerted campaign to paint Corbyn as an antisemite, a massive lie perpetuated by some extremely dishonest LABOUR PARTY members who, with the help the Daily Mail, managed to hand a massive majority in the 2019 election to the Tories on a plate (OK, we would probably have lost anyway, but at least it wouldn't have been the drubbing it turned out to be). When Starmer became leader, one of the first things that happened was that Corbyn was expelled on extremely dubious grounds. Starmer also sacked Becky Long-Bailey on the slightest of pretexts for doing next to nothing wrong.

OK then. Shall we talk about "compromise" again?
