Good things happening is bad
This election was not a good outcome and Corbyn’s win doesn’t affect anything.
It’s satisfying to see, sure, but celebrating it with a title like this is cope.
I also liked seeing Sunak eat shit but a Starmer win means I’m eating shit too.
Labour Party status: not in fact destroyed and still pro-Israel.
Starmer status: very safely in power and unthreatened by Corbyn. Probably with a wicked champagne hangover.
There’s nothing worth celebrating here except some cope.
It's a bit cope, yes, but it's not meaningless. For the next 4 years there's someone on the right side of issues in parliament, whose voice will be heard by many. And when you consider that seat could've been a pro-Israel private healthcare ghoul, Corbyn's win does mean something.
How much have you heard Corbyn's voice in Parliament since 2019? No one listens to backbenchers.
I can't say really. I've heard him a lot but I'm in his target demographic.
